[See the bonus scene on Weibo: @Tu Qilin]

1. When her mother is hospitalized, Lu Nanxi runs into Jiang Jiaze, the boy she had a crush on in high school.

Back in high school, he was the star student. He still shines in the hospital, just in a different role.

She assumes they won't have anything to do with each other once her mother is discharged.

She is quickly proven wrong when she goes on the blind date she promised her mother she'd attend, only to discover that her date is him.

Lu Nanxi thinks it's just a whim on his part, but he pulls out his household register. “I'm serious. We can go straight to the civil affairs bureau and get married.”

2. Jiang Jiaze's hospital colleagues know he was a lovesick simp who got dumped, and that he fell seriously ill afterward.

His colleagues gleefully go to his home to visit him.

But Jiang Jiaze opens the door looking radiant, with faint marks visible on his neck.

As soon as they step inside, they hear a sweet voice calling for him from the room.

With an expression that says, “I've got a wife,” Jiang Jiaze tells his colleagues, “My wife is a little clingy. Make yourselves at home.”

Then he walks into the room, leaving his colleagues standing there with question marks all over their faces.

Did I seriously come here just to get fed dog food??

3. Lu Nanxi thinks she's always been the one nursing an unrequited crush.

Later, she sees that he's kept the anonymous drawing she gave him back then, and realizes that he's the one who never got a response.

“Come Here and Hold Me” blurb

1. At university, Yi Ran is the model student in the eyes of her teachers and classmates.

Every day, she's either at the library or in the lab.

But she also worries about how to win over her crush.

Just as she can't find a way in, she unexpectedly meets her crush's roommate, Gu Qingxun, a cocky heartthrob who gets away with everything because of his looks.

What she doesn't know is that she's been his prey for a long time.

On the day she learns that her crush is dating someone, Yi Ran clings to Gu Qingxun and won't let go. Gu Qingxun says, “If you hug me, are you going to take responsibility????”

2. When they meet again, he's the heir to the Gu multinational corporation.

Yi Ran is an intern at the company who isn't...?

They seem to have nothing to do with each other. When her colleagues discuss how cold and heartless Gu Qingxun is, Yi Ran thinks of how he pins her down every night and takes her passionately.

3. Later, Yi Ran's colleagues come looking for her, only to find Gu Qingxun opening the door.

Before they can even step inside, the door closes again.

Then they hear Gu Qingxun, usually so calm and self-controlled, protesting: “You promised to take responsibility for me. Now I don't even have a title?”

Next come the sounds from behind the door, along with the couple's breathless gasps.

Colleagues: ??? I'm still out here, for crying out loud.

Yi Ran has always thought they first met at university, until she finds a group photo at Gu Qingxun's home from a high school training camp.

On the back, in familiar handwriting, is a line: Some people are destined to fall in love.

* Reunion after years apart, rekindled love

* Fake ice prince, real flirt X sweet, gentle girl
