In her past life, Lin Xiaoman never understood Zhou Mingli's "duplicity"—he'd say "stay away from me" with a cold face, yet wrap his cashmere scarf around her during a rainstorm, defend her with his academic reputation when she was cyberbullied, and even throw himself in front of a runaway truck to save her. It wasn't until he lay in the hospital, saying, "I'm sorry I didn't wait for you to understand me," that Lin Xiaoman collapsed: the "unapproachable" Professor Zhou had long carved her into his bones. Reborn to the start of her 22nd year, Lin Xiaoman blocks the lab door with a hot cocoa: "Professor Zhou, I brought you a sugar-free drink." When he stays up writing papers, she shoves a heating pad into his hand: "Your hands are as cold as ice—how can you hold a pen?" The always unshakable Zhou Mingli panics—his ears redden to his neck, his fingers rub the note she gave him unconsciously, and though he still insists, "Miss Lin, please respect the teacher-student boundary," he mutters softly when she turns to leave: "Tomorrow… can you bring another one?" This time, she's determined to thaw the cold shell around Zhou Mingli and keep him warm in her arms.
