Lin Yu, a girl from a small town, took the postgraduate entrance examination, dragged her heavy luggage into Beijing, and became a little transparent in the strict academic circle. Her mentor, Professor Zhou, is a leading figure in the academic world. He is strict and cold-hearted, and he speaks his mind to the letter. The only "stain" is probably the son who doesn't want to inherit the mantle and runs to open a cake shop - Zhou Yuran.
Lin Yu originally just wanted to study with his tail between his legs, but unexpectedly met Zhou Yuran at his tutor's home. This man has no trace of Professor Zhou on him. He is lazy, always has a casual smile on his lips, and the hand holding the cream piping bag is more steady than her shaking at academic conferences. His cake shop has a prosperous business, a unique style, and an endless stream of customers. However, in Professor Zhou's eyes, it has always been a "little trick that has no effect."
During an academic exchange meeting, Lin Yu got excited and ordered a cake at Zhou Yuran's shop. The academic leaders in the venue that day ate with gusto. Professor Zhou had a subtle look on his face, and Lin Yu waited with bated breath, fearing that his graduate career would end prematurely with a cold snort from his instructor. However, unexpectedly, since then, Professor Zhou's attitude towards Zhou Yuran gradually relaxed, and he even tasted his cake for the first time at a family dinner.
Lin Yu originally thought that she was just promoting the relaxation of the relationship between mother and son, but she did not expect that she would also be involved. Zhou Yuran leaned behind the counter and smiled lazily at her: "My tutor appreciates me so much, why don't you consider it too? Cake shop proprietress, it sounds quite romantic."
Purpose: This story revolves around academics and dreams, self-worth identity, parent-child relationship and urban love. It explores the balance between individual real pressure and inner love, as well as the value of different life choices. Through the growth and emotional development of Lin Yu and Zhou Yuran, it shows the process of young people gradually finding themselves in the city.
