Episode 1
It started in the present time, Yi Pei found Chen Yin invitation to an art exhibition which she dropped. Without the invitation she was unable to enter the venue.
Yi Pei showed her that he had got it and proceeded to tear the invitation to her fury.
Seven years earlier…
Li Chen Yin is a first-year art student who has a crush on her senior, Tao Yi Pei. It was not a mutual thing because Yi Pei lives for his art alone.
Chen Yin has a best friend, Kenzan who wanted to confess to her crush who was a basketball player.
During one of their games, which they won, Lin Chen thought of helping her friend and confess to the team leader of the university basketball team. Unfortunately, her friend became so shy she ran away leaving Chen YIn who left a lasting impression on the team leader. He thought she was confessing to him.
Her friend said that her crush actually the no 11 not the team captain which was no. 21.
To remedy the situation, Chen Yin and her friend sneaked to the locker room of the team and left a confession letter to no 11.
They were forced to hide because the team had just come in and stripped to shower.
The friends overheard the boys talking about the friend who the number 11 said looks like a pig and chubby.
The team captain smacked Number 11 for disrespecting a woman.
The two girls also came out of their hiding place to complain and but were suddenly aware that they were among naked men.
Chen Yin and the team captain became friends.
Meanwhile, Yi Pei and Chen Yin were manacled together for 7days to fulfill an art project.
Episode 2
Their project is called Behaviour Art and they had to be tied up with a 4-meter rope. They had to sleep, eat, shower and go toilet as near to one another as they can for a whole week.
They are beginning to know one another.
Chen Yin is super annoying, lacking common sense but she is cheerful and pretty.
Yi Pei is dour, doesn’t like noise, introverted and has a sense of abandonment issues, which Chen Yi found out when he was having a nightmare.
Episode 3
Chen Yin was such a liability for Yi Pei. She is so immature but with good intentions.
She had caused so much problem for Yi Pei and he told her so.
Chen Yin was annoyed so she cut off the rope that binds them together.
Episode 4
Because they did not complete the Behavioural Art project, this would have a detrimental effect on Yi Pei’s grade and recommendation, so Chen Yin went to their professor to say that it was all her fault and it was her who cut the cord, which was the truth.
But Yi Pei made a deal with their professor that he will do everything as long as Chen Yin is not punished too much.
The Professor asked him to attend her evening class and be the nude model. Which he bravely did.
The Professor said that Yi Pei’s drawing is very good but there is no life in it. He needed to get a heartbeat.
So Yi Pei asked Chen Yin to help him find a heartbeat.
They went to an amusement park and tried the rides but despite the scare-factor of the rides, his heartbeat was not changed.
They were on top of the Ferris Wheel when he told this to Chen YIn so she kissed him.
He then kissed her back.
Then he went to paint.
Chen Yin took their kiss seriously until she realised that it was just something for their art exercise.
