Synopsis

Song Yiju, a senior student at the Traditional Chinese Medicine College, has long relied on the help of teaching assistant Xiao Jing to obtain credits for her courses. The two, who have known each other for many years, have always maintained a mutually beneficial relationship.

However, after a daytime meteor shower, Xiao Jing began to frequently go back on his promises, leaving Song Yiju puzzled and concerned. Indeed, the current Xiao Jing is a person from a future spacetime. In order to obtain a precious medicinal herb, he entered the present reality and approached Song Yiju's grandfather, planning to steal it opportunistically.

Unexpectedly, due to temporal deviations caused by time travel, a three-month gap emerged, during which Song Yiju's grandfather entrusted her to Xiao Jing's care. This situation overwhelmed Xiao Jing. To achieve his goal, he forcefully engaged in social interactions, but he gradually warmed up to the cheerful girl, Song Yiju, and found the antidote to his inner struggles.

However, the moment of parting quietly approaches...
