The chill even seeps into her real life. Until Xu Ze, an architect, visits—he says he always dreams of a girl in a cream sweater (exactly Lin Wan) squatting at the alley entrance knitting a scarf. Tracking this, they learn the woman is Xu Ze's grandmother Shen Qing, who missed Lin Wan's grandfather Chen Zhao due to war; their dreams are a "reunion web" woven by their ancestors' unfulfilled regrets across time. When Lin Wan holds Chen Zhao's late gloves for Shen Qing in the dream, and Xu Ze wraps a warm coat around Lin Wan in reality, the two trapped in "cold dreams" finally find the warmth to heal their dreams in each other...
