Cheng Yin thought he would never see Qi Zhao again in this lifetime. After all, they had once parted on bad terms.

Then he returned to China to recover from severe anxiety and joined a laid-back travel show.

Before filming, Qi Zhao was chatting with his junior in the lounge when a new guest pushed open the door.

Their eyes met. One was caught off guard, while the other seemed perfectly calm.

Ten years had passed. Something seemed different, yet it also felt as if nothing had changed.

Now that they had met again, they should at least not feel like strangers.
