When 27-year-old university teacher Chen Wanxin is set up on yet another blind date by her overbearing mother, she expects the usual bore — another guy who can only text "What are you doing?" "Have you eaten?" "Are you asleep?" She's already cringing when she arrives at Table A16.
But sitting there isn't some stranger. It's Zhou Jia — her former student, twenty-two years old, now a self-made tech CEO, and suddenly, her blind date.
"That was the teacher-student act," he says, cornering her with that familiar, too-confident smile. "Right here, right now, there's only Chen Wanxin and Zhou Jia. Two single adults."
Wanxin insists once a teacher, always a teacher — until she reaches for her phone to complain to her mother and realizes it's already in his hand. He'll give it back. But on one condition.
What starts as an awkward blind date quickly pulls her into the memory of a sunlit classroom, a boy who watched her from the back row, and a promise she didn't know he'd been keeping for five years. If they're destined to miss each other ten thousand times, he'll chase her ten thousand and one.
**A forbidden age-gap romance about the student who never really left.**
