Episode 1 Recap
In the year 2223, temporal agent Xiao Jing, in order to save a life, must seek out the extinct medicinal herb "Dioscorea nipponica Makino" He embarked on a time-travel journey during daylight meteor showers, going back two hundred years and inhabiting the body of Xiao Jing, a student of Professor Song who specialized in researching Dragon-Tuber Dioscorea. However, Song Yiju, who relies on Xiao Jing for academic credits, remains oblivious to these changes. The assistant physician before her, Xiao Jing, is no longer the obedient good friend she once knew.
Xiao Jing had made comprehensive preparations before the time travel, familiarizing himself with information about everyone around Professor Song. However, the information about Song Yiju was a complete blank. In order to successfully obtain the Dragon-Tuber Dioscorea, Xiao Jing decides to evade the unknown variable of Song Yiju. Unexpectedly, Song Yiju takes the initiative to confront him, and Xiao Jing has no choice but to engage. During her makeup exam, Song Yiju sets up an elaborate formation, claiming it to be a secret code agreed upon with "Xiao Jing" long ago. However, Xiao Jing has no recollection of this. Song Yiju relentlessly presses on, expressing her suspicions: "You are not Xiao Jing, then who exactly are you?"
Episode 2 Recap
Recalling the various interactions with Xiao Jing in the past, Song Yiju began to test the waters with the Xiao Jing before her, but Xiao Jing successfully defended against her attempts, leading to a subtle power struggle between them. Quietly fond of painting in secret, Song Yiju sneaked into a renowned avant-garde artist's exhibition, Ouyang Yu, and accidentally bumped into the real Ouyang Yu while he was repairing a sculpture. This left a scratch on the sculpture. In order to avoid being held responsible by the gallery, she had to use self-made pigments to restore the color. This action successfully caught the attention of the great artist Ouyang Yu.
Upon learning that Dong Yunfeng, who held the iris key to the traditional medicine laboratory, was attending a blind date party at a bar in the evening, Xiao Jing and his robot companion Xiao Sa had to disguise themselves and infiltrate the party in order to scan the iris. Unexpectedly, they came across Song Yiju. Xiao Jing felt like he was facing a formidable opponent. However, to his surprise, this time Song Yiju unintentionally helped him succeed. Xiao Jing, using his charm of "embracing and holding," managed to obtain the iris and left the bar.
Episode 3 Recap
Song Yiju posted a blind date invitation for Xiao Jing on the campus forum and even started selling yellow roses to make money. Xiao Jing arrived just in time to intervene and immediately turned it into a scientific presentation about roses. Amid their argument, an unexpected scene of Xiao Jing embracing Song Yiju occurred within the flower garden.
In class, Xiao Jing used Song Yiju as a model to demonstrate acupuncture points, but the process was overly aggressive, leading Song Yiju to mistakenly believe that Xiao Jing was playing tricks on her. This deepened their conflict. Ouyang Yu, under the pretext of needing to hire a part-time colorist for his OY Studio, extended an invitation to Song Yiju, which she happily accepted.
The operation planned by Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa to "steal medicine" was foiled due to an allergic reaction of one of their fellow researchers. They had no choice but to try again at night. Song Yiju needed to produce a batch of pigments for her part-time job as an artist, so she decided to infiltrate her grandfather's traditional medicine base to gather raw materials. On a night with a dark moon and strong winds, Xiao Jing and Song Yiju had another coincidental encounter.
Episode 4 Recap
Xiao Jing and Song Yiju were trapped in the laboratory, simultaneously searching for an exit while engaging in casual conversation. Despite her lack of academic prowess, Song Yiju surprisingly possessed extensive knowledge about which medicinal herbs could produce specific colors. Having lost her parents at a young age, she was raised by her grandfather. Her pursuit of traditional medicine was merely to bring joy to her grandfather, while her true passion for painting had to remain a secret.
Hearing about Song Yiju's background, Xiao Jing was drawn into his own memories. In the year 2223, he too had lost his parents, and his younger sister, his sole family, had fallen seriously ill. She needed the Dragon-Tuber Dioscorea to save her life, which was the reason he had traveled through time to this era.
Song Yiju's school was planning a student visit to the traditional medicine base for research purposes. Coincidentally, the investors behind the base would also be visiting on the same day. Professor Song intended for Xiao Jing to lead the group for the investors, disrupting Xiao Jing's plans.
Ouyang Yu and Song Yiju playfully engaged in face painting at the studio. Their overly sweet interaction was witnessed by Ouyang Yu's investor, Wei Yuwen, a wealthy and attractive woman who pursued Ouyang Yu. In a fit of pique, she decided to investigate Song Yiju.
Episode 5 Recap
Xiao Jing and Song Yiju attempted to strike a deal, hoping to have Song Yiju ask Professor Song to let him lead the school trip. However, they didn't come to an agreement. Xiao Jing hatched a plan, pretending to apologize, he took Song Yiju out and they indulged in a large bucket of ice cream. This resulted in Song Yiju causing chaos the next day due to a misunderstood situation. Xiao Jing used the excuse of taking her to the restroom to sneak into the laboratory for the Dragon-Tuber Dioscorea. However, what he found was a young Dragon-Tuber Dioscorea sapling that still required three more months to grow. It turned out that Xiao Sa, the robot, had miscalculated the timing and arrived too early.
Just when Xiao Jing was feeling completely defeated, he heard Song Yiju's cry for help. He rushed over and took her to the hospital when she fainted from exhaustion. Out of guilt, he took care of her attentively. Professor Song observed all of this.
Wei Yuwen, who was having relationship issues, decided to drown her sorrows in alcohol. At the entrance of Xu Huaicong's bar, she noticed a flower basket sent by Song Yiju and came up with a plan. Wei Yuwen acquired the highest-tier membership card at the bar and used it as leverage to force Xu Huaicong to arrange a meeting with Song Yiju.
Episode 6 Recap
Xiao Jing must wait for another three months in 2023 for the Dragon-Tuber Dioscorea to mature. However, his seven-day temporal visa has already expired, leaving him as an illegal time traveler. To avoid being apprehended by the temporal authorities, he has to be even more cautious. Wei Yuwen finally managed to coerce Xu Huaicong into bringing Song Yiju over. After a session of "friendly communication," Wei Yuwen got drunk, thinking she had achieved her goal.
Xu Huaicong accompanied the intoxicated Wei Yuwen back home, but ended up being vomited on. As he was washing clothes shirtless, Wei Yuwen misunderstood his intentions and physically assaulted him. Professor Song entrusted Song Yiju to Xiao Jing while he was away on a business trip. After an intense debate, they temporarily signed a peace treaty for coexistence.
In the evening, Xiao Jing roped Song Yiju into helping in the kitchen, resulting in the destruction of various side dishes. During a power outage, Song Yiju tried to scare Xiao Jing with a ghost story, but ended up scaring herself instead. Fortunately, Xiao Jing embraced her in time. The night was unexpectedly filled with humor, and their nonsensical cohabitation continued with their quirky horse-catching antics.
Episode 7 Recap
Song Yiju was not skilled in her studies and struggled with a question, resulting in continuous deductions by the supervisor. Xiao Sa was sent by Xiao Jing to oversee the situation. In an attempt to help Song Yiju, Xiao Sa used clumsy acting to play the role of a "medical promoter," but it backfired and caused Song Yiju to miss the opportunity.
Song Yiju wanted Xiao Jing to arrange an internship for her at the hospital. However, Xiao Jing, with a deep respect for the field of traditional medicine, firmly declined her request. In the hospital, a patient named Zhang Jilong insisted on being discharged against medical advice. Xiao Jing went to persuade him. Zhang Jilong's actions reminded him of his sister back in the year 2223. She had pleaded for him to give up her treatment to prevent being a burden. This memory weighed heavily on Xiao Jing's heart. Just as he firmly declined Zhang's request, recalling his sister's situation, Song Yiju unexpectedly witnessed the scene. It was as if she had grasped Zhang Jilong's sentiment. She believed that emotional distress was also a form of illness and advised Xiao Jing to consider the patients' feelings more. They engaged in a heated argument, but Song Yiju's words actually left a mark in Xiao Jing's heart.
Episode 8 Recap
Upon learning that Zhang Jilong's final wish was not to waste his remaining time in a foreign place but to ensure his last moments were without regrets, Song Yiju started persuading Zhang Jilong's children. However, her efforts were in vain. Xiao Jing also understood Zhang Jilong's desire and went to persuade his son. With the assurance of medical resources, they fulfilled Zhang Jilong's final wish. Xiao Jing and Song Yiju, who had been at odds, finally reached a reconciliation for the first time.
What made Song Yiju even happier was that, thanks to Ouyang Yu's influence, she secured a part-time job at OY Studio and successfully got her work included in OY's exhibition. However, when the investor Wei Yuwen learned about this, she threatened to withdraw her investment. It was then that Song Yiju discovered that Ouyang Yu was the renowned OY.
In Ouyang Yu's resting room, Song Yiju attempted to apologize to him by offering tea instead of alcohol. Unexpectedly, she ended up with real alcohol. Ouyang Yu had to escort the unsteady Song Yiju back home, only to find Xiao Jing opening the door. As Xiao Jing and Ouyang Yu sized each other up, their meeting as rivals was charged with jealousy.
Episode 9 Recap
Xiao Jing and Ouyang Yu competed to take care of Song Yiju. However, the intoxicated Song Yiju wanted to enjoy the attention of both handsome men. Eventually, under Xiao Jing's determined gaze, Ouyang Yu reluctantly left. The inebriated Song Yiju energetically pounced on Xiao Jing, her caretaker, in a suggestive manner, initiating an ambiguous bed scene. Just as the romantic atmosphere was building, it was abruptly disrupted by Xiao Sa, the protective robot. At this point, Xiao Jing wasn't aware that he was slowly developing feelings for Song Yiju.
Wei Yuwen and Xu Huaicong, both drunk, were manipulated by a drinking game to kiss each other. Xu Huaicong was captivated by Wei Yuwen's enchanting dance under the dim lights. The next day, they mutually agreed to treat the incident as a one-time occurrence, settling any potential debt between them.
During the registration for the internship exam, Song Yiju hurried to school only to realize she had lost her student ID. In her moment of distress, Ouyang Yu appeared as if out of nowhere, delivering Song Yiju's student ID. They ended up having a meal together in the cafeteria, engaging in interactions reminiscent of a drama. Xiao Jing observed all of this, feeling jealous.
Episode 10 Recap
After Song Yiju caused a series of credit-earning projects to collapse, Xiao Jing also wanted to showcase his affinity by starting a home-style tutoring service. Song Yiju struggled with her studies, resorting to stealthily enjoying snacks as her strategy. However, her culinary pursuits were thwarted by Xiao Sa. Surprisingly, during their first encounter, Song Yiju and Xiao Sa found common ground and formed a friendly "Anti-Xiao Jing Alliance."
Xiao Sa's role as a double-sided spy was quite demanding. On one hand, he informed Xiao Jing of developments, while on the other hand, he took the liberty to alter Song Yiju's internship exam score. He amusingly mused to himself: "This household would fall apart without me!"
After undergoing Xiao Jing's intense pre-exam training, Song Yiju unexpectedly qualified for the internship exam. However, her success was met with skepticism from classmates, leading to her being bullied. Wei Yuwen appeared just in time and assertively rescued her. With a cup of milk tea and a conversation, they became best friends. But what Song Yiju found most unbearable was that Xiao Jing actually questioned her performance face-to-face...
Episode 11 Recap
Song Yiju was taken out by Ouyang Yu to relax, and she found a bit of solace in her sad emotions when she learned that Ouyang Yu had signed her up for a comic contest. Upon seeing Ouyang Yu bring Song Yiju back, Xiao Jing deeply regretted not being there for her when she was upset. Thus, upon learning the truth about the altered scores, Xiao Jing gathered his courage to apologize to Song Yiju. He then took full responsibility and left the school alone. Upon hearing this, Song Yiju felt both touched and guilty. The two, having resolved their misunderstandings, embraced in the rain.
Upon returning home, Xiao Jing made an exception and ordered fried food for dinner, which brought joy to Song Yiju. They happily dined together and shared some heartwarming moments. In the evening, Song Yiju excitedly announced to Xiao Jing that she had made it to the comic contest finals. Since she needed more pigments, she pulled Xiao Jing along to revisit the traditional Chinese medicine base. Unexpectedly, they stumbled upon a picturesque scene filled with fireflies in the garden. Their hearts raced, and they shared a meaningful gaze!
Episode 12 Recap
In the thank-you letter sent by Zhang Jilong, he emphasized Song Yiju's compassionate nature as a doctor. Xiao Jing used this point to persuade the dean and managed to secure an internship opportunity for Song Yiju. Just starting out, Song Yiju encountered a tough nut, Xu Jialu. Faced with Xu Jialu's provocations, Song Yiju responded sincerely. Ouyang Yu helped Song Yiju choose a theme for a drawing competition, seeking her opinion, but Xiao Jing caught them in the act. Subsequently, when Xu Jialu once again teased Song Yiju, Xiao Jing, feeling jealous and angry, shifted the blame for Song Yiju's mistake to Ouyang Yu. This led Song Yiju to decide to confront Xu Jialu head-on.
When Song Yiju went to complain to Xu Huaicong, she lost herself amidst the quarrel between Xu Huaicong and Wei Yuwen. Succumbing to the temptation of alcohol, she got herself drunk, and Xiao Jing took care of her throughout the night. The next day, Song Yiju resurrected in high spirits, becoming more resilient. She meticulously cared for Xu Jialu, only to end up sending her to the emergency room?!
Episode 13 Recap
Song Yiju advised Xu Jialu that she should prioritize her own health in all matters and encouraged her to bravely choose surgery. With childhood topics of growing up in solitude in common, they resolved their previous conflicts. On Xiao Jing's side, he also contacted Xu Jialu's mother and persuaded her to agree to the surgery. After achieving their shared goal through different paths, the two of them had dinner together at the hospital.
Upon learning about Song Yiju's tragic childhood, Xiao Jing understood why Professor Song doted on her so much. Encouraged by Xiao Jing, Song Yiju found a balance between her passion for drawing and her studies in traditional Chinese medicine. She started creating notes about her unique form of art therapy, which impressed Xiao Jing.
Upon hearing the news of Zhang Jilong's passing, Xiao Jing and Song Yiju remembered him under the night sky and offered their prayers. Song Yiju decided to personally accompany Xu Jialu during her transfer to another hospital. After it was over, Xiao Jing called Song Yiju, but unexpectedly, Song Yiju was involved in a traffic accident at that moment!
Episode 14 Recap
Passing by, Ouyang Yu noticed that Song Yiju was injured and quickly took her to the hospital. Upon hearing about the accident over the phone, Xiao Jing couldn't reach Song Yiju and anxiously braved the rain to search for her. He eventually found out Song Yiju's whereabouts at the hospital. However, he arrived a bit late and only learned that Song Yiju had been taken away by her boyfriend. This made Xiao Jing even more anxious.
Song Yiju began living a somewhat dependent life at Ouyang Yu's place, where everything was provided for her. Feeling embarrassed about this, she insisted on going out with Ouyang Yu for shopping. After crossing paths with Xiao Jing in the bustling city, Xiao Jing was called back to the laboratory.
Working overnight to urgently complete his tasks in the lab, Xiao Jing finally found Song Yiju at Ouyang Yu's home. With a confident princess-carry, Xiao Jing took Song Yiju away. Upon seeing a painting that Song Yiju showed him, Xiao Jing was astonished and taken aback.
Episode 15 Recap
Xiao Jing realized that his time travel had changed Song Yiju's original life trajectory, but what Xiao Jing didn't know was that the Temporal Affairs Bureau had already taken notice of his "unregistered" status. Everyone at the herbal medicine base was counting the samples, and Xiao Jing had a different count of surviving samples, which was challenged by Professor Song. Meanwhile, Ouyang Yu moved into the hospital, and Xiao Jing immediately took action to prevent any approach by Song Yiju to Ouyang Yu.
At the same time, Luo Lingli, who suspected Ouyang Yu's intentions in the comic club, came to the hospital to create trouble, disrupting Song Yiju's internship and shattering her confidence. Seeing Song Yiju avoiding working on the manuscript right under his nose, Xiao Jing jumped to conclusions and thought she was sneaking around with Ouyang Yu. Coupled with Ouyang Yu's consistent protective behavior, a series of provocations ignited Xiao Jing's anger. The secrets hidden within this group of people in the laboratory and the hospital are far from being fully revealed.
Episode 16 Recap
After Song Yiju recovered her health, she continued her internship at the hospital, receiving quiet care from Xiao Jing and exuberant attention from Ouyang Yu. She also helped Xu Huaicong with advice on how to meet his crush in the midst of their interactions. Wei Yuwen also came to find Song Yiju to plan their first meeting as internet friends. Both Xiao Jing and Ouyang Yu joined forces enthusiastically to help set up a confession scene for Wei Yuwen.
Song Yiju acted as the overall commander on-site, and both Xiao Jing and Ouyang Yu tried to win her approval in their own ways, igniting a fierce competition between the analytical science-oriented male and the romantic artistic male. Just then, Wei Yuwen discovered that the unexpected visitor was actually Xu Huaicong. The atmosphere shifted from awkward gazes to harsh words, leading to their paths parting ways.
On the other hand, Song Yiju accidentally fell into conductive water, and in a critical moment, Xiao Jing had to freeze time to save her. However, using his supernatural ability also summoned Beren, an agent from the Temporal Affairs Bureau.
Episode 17 Recap
Xiao Jing and Ouyang Yu had the same explanation, which made Song Yiju, who woke up with no memory of yesterday, feel suspicious. What was even more suspicious was that today, Xiao Jing was avoiding her. The reason behind this was that Ouyang Yu realized yesterday that Xiao Jing had a hidden identity. He believed that whether to accept this version of Xiao Jing should be up to Song Yiju's choice. Xiao Jing himself was also caught in this chaotic state of mind.
Amid the anxiety of "Can I guess what's on the boy's mind," Song Yiju lost her competition draft after working on it for several days. Xiao Jing used his "supernatural ability" and quickly identified Luo Lingli as the suspect. After recovering the artwork for Song Yiju, Xiao Jing was modest about his actions, and due to his inability to express himself, Song Yiju misunderstood.
A listless Song Yiju returned home, and her grandfather, feeling sorry for her, decided to take her and Xiao Jing on a business trip to relax. However, during the trip, a mudslide occurred at the location they were visiting. In a critical moment, Xiao Jing shielded Song Yiju with his own body, but he fell into a coma himself.
Episode 18 Recap
Song Yiju guarded Xiao Jing's bedside day and night, reflecting on the troubles she had caused him during these days. She secretly vowed that if Xiao Jing could wake up this time, she would distance herself from him and give him a happy life. Such vows were most effective in times like these. When Xiao Jing woke up, Song Yiju honored her vow and left.
Wei Yuwen decided to invite everyone to her private resort to relax, and Xu Huaicong insisted on accompanying Song Yiju. The two versions of Xiao Jing from different timelines met in a semi-conscious state, and the current Xiao Jing agreed to help the former Xiao Jing fulfill his mission.
Xiao Jing visited his parents' home, experiencing the warmth of family. While fishing with his father, he received a message from Gu Xiaoxiao, which strengthened his determination to cherish every remaining day with Song Yiju. Xiao Jing rushed to the resort, wanting to express his feelings to Song Yiju. However, unexpectedly, Bo Yan had been waiting there for a while.
Episode 19 Recap
Xiao Jing engaged in a life-and-death battle with Bo Yan, intending to buy more time. Both of them were injured in the process. Under Bo Yan's guidance, Xiao Jing realized that even if he was going to leave, he wanted to create some beautiful memories with Song Yiju. This determination prompted Xiao Jing to head to the resort. While gathering charcoal at the resort, Xiao Jing and Ouyang Yu engaged in friendly competition, each hoping to win Song Yiju's affection based on their own merits. The party started amidst Xu Huaicong and Wei Yuwen's bickering.
As the youthful excursion and the strange events in the laboratory coincided, Dong Yunfeng's spy activities became more apparent. At the same time, Professor Song noticed that some pages were missing from her carefully organized notes, gradually realizing the seriousness of the situation.
During the party, under Xu Huaicong's leadership in the game segment, Xiao Sa played the role of the best assistant, leading to frequent wine penalties for Xiao Jing, who was not skilled in games. Xiao Jing's pursuit of Song Yiju continued in a lively and spirited manner at any time and anywhere.
Episode 20 Recap
Taking advantage of the high spirits during the party, Ouyang Yu seized the opportunity to take Song Yiju away. Gu Xiaoxiao quickly urged Xiao Jing to go find the two. Ouyang Yu had prepared a confession scene in advance and gently confessed his feelings to Song Yiju. While Song Yiju, who had feelings for Xiao Jing, was considering how to politely decline, Ouyang Yu instinctively interrupted her, understanding what she was about to say.
Xu Huaicong and Wei Yuwen went from heartfelt confessions to embracing each other with deep affection, completely resolving their emotional entanglements and breaking down the barriers caused by face-saving concerns.
Xiao Jing finally found Song Yiju and, amidst the fireworks set up by Xiao Sa, expressed his unwavering love. Song Yiju was deeply moved. Xiao Jing was quite envious of the passionate and bold romantic relationship between Xu Huaicong and Wei Yuwen. However, Song Yiju believed that they shouldn't flaunt their relationship too much in front of friends. She decided to gradually reveal it to everyone, indicating that the path to officially announcing their relationship was still a long and challenging one for Mr. Xiao.
Episode 21 Recap
After the clandestine romance between Song Yiju and Xiao Jing, the two clumsily concealed their underground relationship from the hospital to their homes, trying to mask the pungent scent of their secret love in front of Professor Song and others. The whole act required them to pretend not to know about their relationship in the hospital, showcasing their impressive acting skills.
While they were secretly meeting and being all lovey-dovey, Professor Song urgently arrived at the hospital, bringing grave news – the growth of the "Dragon Tuber" had been tampered with by an insider, which could potentially ruin the experiment. Professor Song and Xiao Jing discussed the suspicion surrounding the researchers. Xiao Jing decided to return to the laboratory to search for clues, but Song Yiju noticed the injuries on him. He had to lie to her, claiming that he got hurt accidentally during the base renovation, and advised her not to go to the herbal base in the near future, as it was dangerous. Meanwhile, the researcher responsible for sabotaging the experiment seemed to sense the anomalies in the laboratory and accelerated their own agenda...
Episode 22 Recap
Ouyang Yu noticed that Song Yiju seemed uncomfortable in his presence and generously stated that he would accept any answer from her, without affecting their friendship. Little did he know, Xiao Jing was actively pushing Song Yiju towards Ouyang Yu, triggering her "little radar" once again. She became even more certain that Xiao Jing was keeping something from her. At this point, Xiao Jing had set up a trap. While tracking the three individuals in the laboratory, he had to calm Song Yiju's anxiety and decided to let Xiao Sa follow Liang Xueyan, while he tracked Dong Yunfeng.
When they confirmed that Dong Yunfeng was the one who stole the experiment, Song Yiju entered Xiao Jing's home and discovered the secret of Xiao Jing's time-travel from two hundred years in the future. Moreover, she realized that his target was her own grandfather, Professor Song. Song Yiju was reluctant to believe that Xiao Jing had malicious intentions towards her grandfather, and she didn't want to believe that Xiao Jing's approach to her was driven by such motives. The two of them faced the biggest crisis of trust they had ever encountered.
Episode 23 Recap
Xiao Jing and Professor Song confronted Dong Yunfeng. Professor Song attempted to influence Dong Yunfeng but was attacked by him and ultimately, Dong Yunfeng managed to escape. On the other side, Song Yiju, who had discovered Xiao Jing's secret, reflected on his various approaches to her and fell into self-blame. However, she received news of her grandfather's injury and hurried to the hospital. After settling her grandfather, Song Yiju confronted Xiao Jing face to face, warning him not to harm her grandfather. Xiao Jing wasn't sure how to explain things to Song Yiju and deeply regretted not confessing earlier.
After visiting Professor Song, Xu Huaicong requested Song Yiju's support in proposing to Wei Yuwen. Song Yiju felt alone in the midst of others' romantic happiness. To avoid causing Song Yiju further harm, Xiao Jing decided to close his heart and lock away his feelings. Unable to face Xiao Jing, Song Yiju could only run away, but she was caught by Dong Yunfeng. However, Xiao Jing followed and, to save Song Yiju, courageously leaped from the top floor.

Before sunrise, Song Yiju and Xiao Jing made various promises, and as the sun rose, their parting quietly arrived.
Xiao Jing returned to the present two hundred years later and decided to endure the punishment of guarding the time gate for two hundred hours in exchange for the chance to return to Song Yiju. Five years later, Song Yiju had become a successful manga artist under Ouyang Yu's guidance. At Song Yiju's new work unveiling event, she once again felt that familiar disturbance, confirming that Xiao Jing had kept his promise. Song Yiju rushed towards Xiao Jing, and the two embraced amidst the crowd, feeling everything around them fleeting, yet they believed that this purified and steadfast emotion of two centuries was a love close to eternal.
