During the five years they were apart, Shen Yu never stopped hoping she might see Xu Jiahe again someday.
Then, while helping a friend deal with a blind date, she came face to face with the person she had missed for countless nights and days.
He was nothing like the boy she remembered. His eyes and brows were distant and cold, and he didn't even recognize her. He only said, "My buddy's a good guy. You could give him a chance."
Shen Yu understood. In his eyes, she was nothing more than someone passing through.
But she wasn't a pushover, either.
If you don't know me, then I don't know you.
Later, they ran into each other again at work. In the office, she pretended they were meeting for the first time and calmly shook his hand in front of everyone. "Hello, Mr. Xu. Nice to meet you. You can call me by my full name from now on."
No one knew that inside, she was nervous to death.

A new Japanese teacher joined Class 8 of Year 11, and the whole class was thrilled. But later, they noticed something seemed a little off between their Chinese teacher and their Japanese teacher.
Then one day, they saw that Xu Jiahe had a photo of Shen Yu as his computer wallpaper.
The students suddenly understood. No wonder whenever Ms. Shen was away from school, Mr. Xu always stepped in to help her with things.
Xu Jiahe remained calm. When he saw the photo, he didn't even blush as he said, "I'm the only one pursuing Ms. Shen."
The students erupted on the spot.
Shen Yu naturally denied it. "I'm not very close to Mr. Xu. There's no chance between us, so don't make things up."
Mr. Xu took a massive hit to the heart. That night, while Shen Yu and Mr. Xu were in bed, the man lying beside her, for once, didn't hold her.
Unhappy, she turned on the charm. "Why aren't you holding me today?"
The man didn't budge.
She looked up and saw Xu Jiahe speaking with complete seriousness. "Ms. Shen, you said we aren't close. Please behave yourself."

Back when they were students, someone once asked Shen Yu whether she would marry someone who loved her or someone she loved. Without hesitation, she chose the latter.
After breaking up with Xu Jiahe, she thought this was just how her life would be. She might as well find someone who loved her and settle for that.
What she didn't know was that someone had asked Xu Jiahe the very same question while they were apart. He had given a clear answer: her name.
To Xu Jiahe, love's side effect is this: the person you once loved stays in your blood, and even when you know you shouldn't, you choose them without hesitation.
