share time: 2025-11-03 12:30:22

Xia Zhi, a small blogger struggling to find a live-streaming partner, stumbles into an alley café one day and runs into Lin Shen—her high school's "Untouchable Flower on the High Peak". The former top student, who once kept a three-meter distance even when talking, is now wiping coffee mugs in an apron? Desperate to recruit this "face-value天花板 (tiān huā bǎn, meaning ceiling)" as her partner, Xia Zhi chugs three cups of milk tea before daring to offer Lin Shen a high salary. But during their collaboration, she uncovers secrets: Lin Shen's phone wallpaper is a candid shot of her from high school, his drawer hides rewritten love letters, and even the café's name "Zhi Xiang Li" comes from her given name "Zhi"! When Xia Zhi holds up the letter and asks, "Did you like me back then?" Lin Shen's ears redden, and he suddenly pins her against the floor-to-ceiling window: "Not just then—still do now." It turns out the "coldness" all those years was his eight-year-long, unspoken scorching love.
