Ji Shuhe, a student at Peking University, comes to Hong Kong for a yearlong exchange.
At first, the northern girl hates the south and finds it stifling. Gradually, she falls in love with the south's heat and humidity, until at last she loses herself amid Hong Kong Island's dazzling neon lights.
And time and again, she loses herself in the man's refined, languid gaze.
Ji Shuhe begins plotting ways to run into him.
-
At their first meeting, Zhong Huaijin thinks of Ji Shuhe as nothing more than a rather pretty young girl.
At their second meeting, their third, and all the many times after that...
Zhong Huaijin lowers his eyes and thinks that she's actually a rather impulsive pretty young girl.
Who would get soaking wet and stand in front of a man ten years older, blinking as she asks frankly, "Mr. Zhong, could I stay at your place for one night?"
Unless...
Zhong Huaijin studies the young girl's fair face, sees right through her, and says gently, "Girl, we're not on the same path."
-
Only when the man she remembers as always gentle and quiet says coldly, "Bend over," does Ji Shuhe belatedly understand what he meant by "not on the same path."
It seems she has made a naive, foolish mistake.
