Contractual Cohabitation: The Professor's Mind-Reading Affection

share time: 2025-10-13 06:01:29

Su Xiao, a senior intern, signs a "contractual cohabitation" agreement with the cold and aloof psychology professor Gu Jingshen to raise money for her grandmother's surgery. Expecting to deal with a strict, expressionless employer, she discovers Gu has a mind-reading ability—her late-night fear of the dark, secret craving for sugar-fried chestnuts, and unspoken hesitation about her feelings are all "seen" by him. Gu appears indifferent but quietly weaves her preferences into his life: a warm light always waits at the entrance, her favorite milk candies hide in his briefcase, and he even pretends to "pass by" to pick her up from overtime. Just as Su Xiao thinks she's unrequitedly in love, Gu pulls out a graduation photo he's kept for three years—turns out he's long remembered the girl who fed cats on the playground, and mind-reading was just his "little trick" to get close to her.
