Strangers in Public, Sweethearts in Private

share time: 2026-01-17 12:33:48

Zhao Guanyu, a cold investment banking director, and He Tiantian, a new planner, are "avoid-at-first-sight" strangers at work—He Tiantian hurries past his office with her head down, and Zhao Guanyu only responds to her reports with "Got it". But no one has seen: late at night, Zhao Guanyu carries a feverish He Tiantian to the emergency room; He Tiantian hides her three-hour-brewed ginger tea in his briefcase. On weekends, they curl up in their rental watching variety shows—He Tiantian rests her feet on his lap while eating chips, and Zhao Guanyu secretly clears her shopping cart. Until a team-building night, a drunk He Tiantian yells "Brother Guanyu" and jumps into his arms. When everyone is stunned, Zhao Guanyu gently wipes cake crumbs from her mouth and smiles: "I told you not to pretend—isn’t it tiring?" It turns out they met while rescuing a cat in a rainy night, and made a "strangers in public" pact to not ruin He Tiantian’s promotion chance. The "unfamiliarity" at work is a protective shell, and inside it lies a love so sweet that even the air trembles.
