I have seen all the versions of this manga both the films and dramas,
I love them all as each version has a slight difference but the framework is all there, the same thing with this movie.
Yuang Qian Xin is a fairly ordinary girl but as cute as a button and has the tenacity to get what she wanted and she wanted Jian Shi Zhu from the first moment that she saw him which ended accidentally in some sort of a kiss.
From then on, she was in love.
She can’t keep the feeling all to herself and encouraged by her friend to confess to the most popular, best looking with a 200 IQ of their school, she sought Shi Zhu to officially tell him how she feels by way of a love note which she presented to him.
Shi-Zhu refused the letter and Qian Xin ended up embarrassed as the school had monitor their aborted love confession.
Anyway, Qian Xin would have probably gotten over him after such humiliation. But as her luck would have it, their rickety house can’t hold much longer and completely collapsed on the ground.
Qian Xin’s father had an affluent best friend who he has not seen in years but had warmly welcomed him and Qian Xin to live at his house.
There his wife was very happy to have them be part of the family.
Qian Xin was given her own room and happily displayed all her photos of her crush, Shi Zhu. She even had a full-size figure of him printed on her duvet. She was settling for the night when she heard a rather familiar voice. It was, of course, Shi Zhu who was the first son of the family.
Shi Zhu’s mother tried to throw them together. The mother is not as bad as the other version. She is not so in your face but she had taken Qian Xin under her wing.
Shi Zhu though had given her conditions to adhere to. She must never tell anyone that they know each other, that they live in the same house, and never ever approach him at school.
Qian Xin was feeling more in love with Shi Zhu to the point that she has become rather annoyingly clingy. She was stalking him most of the time.
Shi Zhu belonged to the highest section of their year. He was in Class A while Qian Xin was in Class F.
Shi Zhu has a classmate who he was close to and would probably become his girlfriend if Qian Xin did not happen. But then again, Qian Xin has a close male friend as well, who Shi Zhu would be jealous of once in a while.
Shi Zhu did put Qian Xin under a lot of humiliating circumstances that even her father advised her to give up. Probably they were not really fated. Qian Xin understood what her father meant and agreed that they should really move out.
A few months later, Qian Xin was giving patients in a hospital the scare of their lives. She is now studying to become a nurse and she was rather incompetent, totally lacking confidence in taking a blood test.
She noticed a text on her mobile that Shi Zhu will give a talk at the auditorium. She got curious and went to see. She promised herself that she will be as quiet as a mouse, she’ll just take a peep.
When she opened the door, there was only one person inside. He was standing in the middle of the aisle. It was of course Shi Zhu.
After some pleasantries, Shi Zhu asked to marry her,
The request was so random that Qian Xin said that they have never even dated. They only had ever shared three kisses.
“Four”, he corrected and said that being married to her is the only way that they can always be together because she is only ever allowed to fall in love and stay in love with him.
ahhhhhhhhh
It is a pretty cute film with gorgeous leads. It ticks all the boxes for me of a good romantic story despite this film being only over two hours.
