Ding Zhitong rushed on her bike to the convenience store, where she worked part-time. The girl from the previous shift was tidying up the shelves and had just put out a strange new drink. She was puzzled that so many people, like Ding Zhitong, liked this odd beverage. Ding Zhitong responded with a smile, quickly tied up her hair, and took over the shift. Just then, the phone rang—someone had left their keys behind while shopping.

Ding Zhitong found the keychain on the shelf, with a USB drive containing important documents, and the caller asked her to deliver it. Ding Zhitong wanted her colleague to do it, but the colleague had a date after work, so Ding Zhitong agreed and asked her to keep an eye on the store for a while. The person who called was none other than Gan Yang.

Knowing the item was important for a competition, Ding Zhitong quickly hailed a taxi to the event venue. However, fate had other plans—she got stuck in a serious traffic jam. On the phone, Gan Yang introduced himself as a finance major from Tsinghua-Peking University, asking for her help and promising a reward. Upon realizing he was an alumnus, Ding Zhitong became anxious, got out of the taxi, and ran toward the venue.

Before Ding Zhitong arrived, Gan Yang had already started his product presentation on stage. The product was a pair of shoes, each word of his speech filled with the team's wisdom and effort. Suddenly, the doors opened—Gan Yang saw Ding Zhitong, and a bigger smile appeared on his face. Her timely arrival was like a blessing. Wang Yi quickly took the documents from her and projected them on the screen just in time.

With the support of the materials, Gan Yang and his team delivered a flawless presentation and eventually won first place. Gan Yang’s gaze never left Ding Zhitong, who was sitting in the audience. Only when she heard the applause did she remove her headphones and join in the clapping. After the event, Gan Yang handed the prepared reward to Ding Zhitong, his eyes full of gratitude.

During their conversation, he was surprised to find out they both liked the same drink. This small coincidence felt like an invisible red string tying them together. Wang Yi, observing nearby, had expected Ding Zhitong to be like other girls and fall for Gan Yang’s charm, eagerly adding him as a friend. To her shock, Ding Zhitong did not swoon but rationally asked for a delivery fee. After her shift, Ding Zhitong returned to school.

Feng Sheng, who had a crush on her, lied about snagging a cheap takeaway meal just to bring it to her. He had actually saved up to buy it by skimping on his own meals. Back in the dorm, her roommates were passionately discussing Gan Yang, the campus heartthrob—handsome, from a good family, and extremely talented. News of his recent award win was all over the internet.

Song Mingmei excitedly announced a celebration the next day for their app surpassing ten thousand users, hinting that Ding Zhitong’s matched soulmate might show up and insisted she attend. Fate turned again—Ding Zhitong and Gan Yang met once more at school. Though in different years, they had heard about each other. Ding Zhitong was a top student who won scholarships every year and was admired by many male students, but her heart was fully set on academics.

Gan Yang seized the chance to add her on WeChat. Later, Ding Zhitong noticed his profile picture looked oddly familiar, stirring an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. Song Mingmei hurried back to campus only to learn that the professor who was supposed to check her attendance had been replaced by Professor Qin Chang. She panicked and lied, saying she’d stayed up all night working on assignments and had no choice but to ask someone to check in for her.

But Qin Chang was unmoved. At the celebration for Mòqì Technology’s software, Gan Yang, curious about who his matched soulmate might be, showed up. When he signed his name as “A-Gan,” Song Mingmei was shocked and immediately realized he was Ding Zhitong’s soulmate. To test their compatibility in real life, she hid Ding Zhitong’s identity and observed their interaction. Surprisingly, they shared the same favorite color, music, and hobbies. Their astonishing compatibility drew admiration from everyone.

Ding Zhitong also correctly guessed that Gan Yang was A-Gan but pretended not to be “Bao Fu. ” Gan Yang told her it didn’t matter who Bao Fu was—what mattered was their matching results. After the party, Ding Zhitong invited Gan Yang to discuss the copyright issue of the shoe design. Gan Yang stated that he didn’t plan to sell it.

Ding Zhitong speculated that he wanted to use it to upgrade his family business and guessed his parents might not support the idea yet. She recommended he talk to her senior, Song Weiwei, whose family was in the same industry. When Ding Zhitong returned, Song Mingmei excitedly pressed her for dating details. Ding Zhitong clarified that it wasn’t a date; she only wanted to talk about copyright, and her only goal now was to make money.

Song Mingmei reminded her that tomorrow was Gan Yang’s birthday. Alone later, Ding Zhitong couldn’t help but drift into a moment of reflection. Ding Zhitong continued working at the convenience store. That day, her senior Song Weiwei came by with part of the payment to thank her—after Ding Zhitong’s persuasion, Gan Yang had changed his mind and agreed to sell the shoe’s copyright. Ding Zhitong refused the money.

Seeing Song Weiwei’s awkward expression, she suggested they have a meal together instead, which made Song Weiwei smile. Gan Yang pretended to go on a night run, but in reality, he braved the rain to see Ding Zhitong at the convenience store. She was focused on calculating the day’s sales while Gan Yang stood outside the window, gazing at her with a smile he couldn’t suppress.

When Ding Zhitong looked up, she saw him standing outside and instinctively checked the time on her phone—it was almost midnight. Gan Yang nervously tried to fix his messy hair when Ding Zhitong suddenly appeared behind him. Seeing him soaked and knowing it was his birthday, she had prepared a cake for him. She wished him a happy birthday. Gan Yang hurriedly explained he had been out running and only took shelter because it started to rain.

Ding Zhitong saw through his excuse but didn’t expose him. Instead, she used a lighter in place of a candle, letting him make a wish. Gan Yang curiously asked why she always wore only one earbud. Ding Zhitong handed him the other earbud, and Gan Yang realized it was broken—no wonder she always wore just one. They sat together on the steps outside, eating cake and listening to music. Rain drizzled gently around them.

Suddenly, Gan Yang directly asked if Ding Zhitong was Bao Fu. She smiled in response, a silent confirmation. Then Gan Yang asked if she’d be willing to run with him.
