One Night in Midsummer: Professor Si's Little Secret
Su Nian, a third-year fashion design student, got drunk after a breakup and stumbled into a hotel room, having a one-night stand with a stranger. After sobering up, she fled in a panic, intending to bury this accident deep in her heart.
A week later, while waiting for her best friend Lin Fei'er at a Traditional Chinese Medicine university, Su Nian shockingly discovered that the man from that night was Si Yan, a star professor at the medical college and a young talent from a family of Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners. Panicked, she dragged her best friend away, vowing never to set foot there again.
At the beginning of summer vacation, Su Nian suffered from stomach acid reflux and vomiting, so she went to "Jishi Hall," where her best friend was interning, for a consultation. Lin Fei'er diagnosed it as common stomach cold and prescribed Banxia soup for treatment. It was at this moment that Si Yan appeared at the clinic. He recognized the girl who had been avoiding him for days at a glance, and without allowing refusal, he took her wrist. The moment his fingertips touched her pulse, his eyes suddenly deepened1this smooth, pearl-like pulse was definitely not a stomach illness!
Banxia (Pinellia Tuber) is warm in nature and can treat stomach cold, but it cannot resolve the feelings that have emerged from this unexpected encounter. When the rigorous and restrained doctor meets the reality-avoiding girl, a romance that began with a mistake is quietly growing amidst the bitter aroma of Chinese medicine.
