*

Xu Zhishui returns to the country on a rainy day.

Zheng Lin, whom she hasn't seen in years, comes to pick her up at the airport. He scowls and calls her a nuisance, but effortlessly takes the heavy suitcase from her hands without a word. Then he takes off his coat and gives it to Xu Zhishui, who dressed too lightly after misjudging the weather.

Zheng Lin's coat is several sizes too big on Xu Zhishui, its hem nearly reaching her knees.

He catches Miss Xu frowning and says flatly,

"Put it on."

"If you catch a cold, no one's going to look after you."

After they leave the airport, he asks where she's staying, only to learn that her rental isn't up for another six months. Zheng Lin's mother has also ordered him to take good care of Xu Zhishui, so he resignedly brings her home.

And so they begin living under the same roof. They expect to keep out of each other's way and get through this period in peace.

Until one night.

All their boundaries and restraint go out the window, and they end up in the same bed.

In Zheng Lin's eyes, Xu Zhishui is as high-maintenance as ever in every way. He just never expected that... she would be the same in bed.
