Episode 1

This drama is made up of very short episodes.  The first one was under ten minutes.

Unfortunately, for now, there is no subtitle available yet.

However, even without a sub, it is quite watchable because the newbie leads are cute.

Mu Xi entered college not knowing that she would meet her high school crush again.

She still remembers him fondly and vividly.

Guo Hai Yu, the guy who played basketball in high school.  Mu Xi  was infatuated with him and did everything she could to get his attention including praying that the ball would smack her right down the head and the gorgeous Guo Hai Yu would come to check up on her.  He would then insists on carrying her to the infirmary.

But no such luck, the girl next to her got hit instead.

As all her efforts came to naught; she decided to study hard for university instead.

When she least expect it, she met him in university but he had changed his name to Guo Jia Nan.  He recognised her and remarked that she was still as clumsy as he remembered while helping her on her feet after she got knocked over by a flying ball on the head.  Her prayers did come true… after a while.  Just have faith.🤗

Episode 2

She started looking for him at the basketball court but he seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

When she least expected it he appeared again.  In the library.  When she was browsing for books, he was standing at the opposite side and they saw each other from the gap in the bookshelf when she took a book out.

She went all shy but he invited her to dinner.

She agreed and arrived very early for what she thought was a dinner-for-two date.

When Gu Jia Nan arrived, he was accompanied by two boys.  They had barbecued chicken feet, liver, and pork.

She was too shy to eat anything.  But when Gu Jia Nan left the table, MuXi quickly took a pork barbecue and went outside to eat it hungrily.  That was how Gu Jia Nan found her later and thought she was cute.

He then said to help him select from snacks.  She chose a lot.

When they arrived outside her dorm, he gave her the bag of snacks because he knew she was hungry as she did not eat much.

He said to keep in touch but she realised she doesn’t have his contact details, his WeChat.

Episode 3

She finally got his We Chat after embarrassing herself attending his IT class.

She researched his page and found out that he likes coffee and astronomy.

She told him that she likes astronomy as well but he found out immediately that she was lying after he took her on the rooftop to best see the night stars.

When he touched her face she immediately closed her eyes as if expecting a kiss but he was really removing a mosquito from her.

Episode 4

They were interrupted by his friend who said that since she majors in journalism, she must know how to take photographs.

Gu Jia Nan was looking at her expectantly so she said she can despite her photography lesson had not started yet.

She had to take photos of Guo Jia Nan while he was giving a symposium.  So she went to borrow a long lens camera for the shoot.

Afterward she went to dinner with the guys.

Episode 5

Muxi started thinking that Guo Jia Nan was dating her Yuan Yuan, her gorgeous dorm mate.  She started stalking them until she was busted by Xuan Chen, who has a crush on Yuan Yuan.

Xuan Chen and Muxi joined forces and stalked Guo Jia Nan and Yuan Yan.

They were so inept so they got found out almost immediately.

Guo Jia Nan asked Muxi if she was stalking him.  She was did not deny it and was so embarrassed.  He then took her to the pet shop to visit the kitten they both like.  But Muxi saw some people from school and she became shy.

When Jia Nan asked what was the matter?  Was she ashamed of being seen with him?

Muxi said that he was so popular in school, it was too much pressure to be seen with him.

Jia Nan was not happy about it but this did not stop Muxi to ask if he had a date already for the prom.

He said that it had to be her as he could not be bothered to ask another girl.

Episode 6

It was the day of the prom but Muxi was reminded by her friend that she needed to return her books before six otherwise she will get credits deducted.

She did go to the library but she was told that she was missing a book.  She remembered that she might have dropped it on the rooftop when she was with Jia Nan.

She raced to the rooftop and found the book but she was locked out by the security guard who did not notice her.

She tried to call Jia Nan but he did not answer as he was the emcee of the prom with Yuan Yuan.

He did finally saw her many messages as he was also concerned that she had not turned up.

He left the emceeing to Yuan Yuan while he went to find Muxi.

Muxi was very down.  She had not only missed the prom, she also missed the deadline for returning the book.

To cheer her up a little bit, Jia Nan played a waltz on his phone and asked her to dance.

MuXi confessed to Jianan that she was happy to have found him at the university and now have someone to eat lunch with and to study with.

Jianan said that he was also glad to have met her again and though sometimes she could be so dumb, he was happy to have her as a friend.

Muxi suddenly lost her joy; Jianan only thinks of her as a friend.

Episode 7

She was mopping in the classroom thinking that she probably had to keep away from Jianan to get over him but he turned up in her class.  He was suddenly taking the same class and opted to team up with her with a vlogging project.

Muxi prepared everything and turned up with a huge duffel bag full of goodies which actually impressed Jianan.

It started raining and Muxi could not be any happier as she steals a glance at Jianan while they were waiting for the rain to stop.

Jianan later told her as she has the camera, he would leave the editing to her.

Episode 8

Muxi asked her senior to help her with the editing.

Her senior agreed under one condition.  Muxi had to find a handsome guy to appear in a romance video for the senior.

Jia Nan agreed and they had a very romantic time which was sending Muxi to the high heavens of happiness.

She came down to earth pretty rapidly when Yuan Yuan turned up and asked to take over Muxi role.

Muxi was very reluctant to give way but she really had no choice as the senior whispered that if she wanted help with the editing she had to play along.

YuanYuan started to be lovey-dovey with Jianian who suddenly stood up and said that he was not doing the role anymore without Muxi.

Yuan Yuan was forced to leave.  The senior doesn’t have to beg hard for Muxi to resume the role.

Episode 9

Xuan Chen begged Muxi to double date with Yuan Yuan and him with Jianan.

During the date, everything turned out hellish for Muxi because Xuan Chen unknowingly broadcast that he met Muxi for a fried chicken date the day before.

Jianan became jealous especially when he saw the easy camaraderie between Xuan Chen and Muxi.

So when the Senior happened to turn up and comment that the music video she took of Jianan and Muxi looked so great and asked if they were in a real relationship, Jianan immediately said that it was a fake.

Episode 10

`Jianan was playing hard to get.  Muxi stuck to him and asked him to go to lunch but he turned her down.

The Yuan Yuan turned up and suddenly he agreed to go to lunch with Yuan Yuan.

Muxi left and stupidly stood in the pouring rain to wash away her one-sided love.

But Yuan Yuan was not really horrible.  She told Jianan that she likes him which he said said he does not like her.

YuanYuan asked if he like Muxi instead.  She added that it was cruel to not clear up who he likes.  She said that Muxi was probably standing in the rain outside feeling very upset.  She then gave her umbrella to Jianan.

Jianan did find Muxi in the rain.

Episode 11

Yuan Yuan warned Mu Xi that she would confess to Guo Jia Nan the next day.

Mu Xu took her seriously so she made sure that the two do not meet.

But on their way to Mu Xi’s dorm, they found Yuan Yuan

waiting outside.

Yuan Yuan asked to speak to Jia Nan.  She then said she liked him but Jia Nan turned her down.

Yuan Yuan saw how much into Mu Xi Jia Nan was when he ran to Mu Xi immediately when he saw she fell down, again.

Episode 12

Jia Nan took Mu Xu to the hospital.  She had sprained her ankle and would take a while to get it better again.

As it was late for Mu Xi to go back to her dorm, she spent the night at Jia Nan’s room, or was it a hotel?  They flirted but nothing really much happened.

However, Jia Nan had become a different boy.  He was so attentive to her.  He would carry her on stairs leading to her classroom.  He was even doing her homework for her.

Mu Xi actually told him that she hurt her leg not her hands; she can do her homework but he told her to just look at him while he does her homework.

The only thing that Mu Xi is not happy about was the bento he packed for her and when he takes her out he makes her eat pigs trotters and chicken feet.

Episode 13

The lovebirds broke up before they even officially got together.

It happened when they went shopping.  They met someone from their high school who asked if they were dating.

Muxi said that they were friends.

Suddenly, Jianan became cold towards her.

Muxi finally had had enough of Jianan’s blowing hot and cold.  She told him that she had bee crushing on him since high school but she had not told him but now she was glad she never told him because he was not worth it.

Wow!  That is painful.

Episode 14

Both are suffering from their ‘break-up’

Yuan Yuan told them both separately to talk to each other.  She spoke to Jianian to confess to Muxi who was dying of a broken heart.

Jianian did try but Muxi was no longer willing to listen but starving herself to death.

Meanwhile, Xuan Chen was doing everything to get Yuan Yuan to agree to be his girlfriend.

Yuan Yuan told him that she did not need a minder or a servant, she needed someone who could stand side by side with her and she doesn’t think he can.

He agreed that he can’t as he can’t be on par with her.

Episode 15

Happy Ending, of course.

Jianian finally confessed to Muxi on her surprised birthday.  He told her that he had actually taken notice of her since high school but he was not brave enough to confront is feelings until now.  Though he did not vocalise it, in his heart she was now his girlfriend.

This is all what Muxi wanted to hear, a confirmation that he really likes her. And she was his.

In the meantime, Yuanyuan missed the hyper Xuan Chen.  She had not seen him for ages.

But after a month, she was leaving for an exchange study when Xuan Chen came bounding in. He said that he had been studying so he could catch up with her.

It paid off, he passed the test and now can go with her abroad.  It will be for 6 months.
