Professor Zhou, Let Me Comfort You This Time

share time: 2026-01-25 00:35:59

Zhou Mingyuan, a cold and rational astrophysics professor, has given all his tenderness to his assistant Lin Xiaoman—blocking overtime coffee for her, covering her late excuses, even writing formulas in papers like love letters. Until one day, Lin Xiaoman catches him crying over his late mentor's photo on the rooftop, realizing this "unbreakable" man hides unspeakable guilt and loneliness. He used to pat her head and say, "Don't be afraid, I'm here," but this time Lin Xiaoman holds his hand tightly: "Professor Zhou, let me stay with you and finish the unsaid words slowly." However, when rumors spread in the academic circle that Lin Xiaoman is "clinging to the professor," Zhou Mingyuan chooses to distance himself again. But Lin Xiaoman refuses to run away—she wants to stand by his side, just like he once did, turning "I understand you" into the warmest armor, even if she has to break through all his "indifference."
