00:00The series begins with Su Xiao waking up early in the morning to prepare food.
00:04It's clear from the start that she's energetic and hardworking, especially since she lost
00:08her parents at a young age.
00:10We quickly see that she's skilled in business and works in several fields.
00:14Su Xiao goes into her uncle Xiao's room to wake him up so he can open the small shop
00:18she runs.
00:20She reminds him that his mother, her grandmother, asked her to take care of him.
00:24It's clear that Xiao is a bit clumsy and helpless, which is why she's always looking after him.
00:29At this point, the scene shifts to the main character of the series, Zilu, a rising star
00:34and well-known actor.
00:35Due to a problem he faced in the city, he decides to return to his old village to escape
00:40the drama for a while.
00:41Back with Su Xiao and Xiao, the two of them play rock-paper-scissors to decide who will
00:45deliver in order to one of the neighbors.
00:48Su Xiao loses and agrees to go before heading to school.
00:51She arrives at a farm to deliver the goods, but the farmer asks her to chase off some
00:55kids who are playing on his crops.
00:57When she goes over to do that, she trips and falls, right in front of Zilu.
01:01She scolds him for not helping her up.
01:04Zilu then notices her school ID and realizes that she's his childhood friend, Su Xiao.
01:09But Su Xiao doesn't recognize him, which upsets Zilu.
01:13He tells her she broke his voice recorder and to stay out of his way, leaving her annoyed.
01:17Su Xiao runs to school since she's now late, jumps over the gate, and when she gets to
01:22class, she tells her friends she has a pig in her back.
01:25It was the last delivery of the day and she didn't have time to complete it, so she had
01:29to hide it.
01:30Since the seat next to her is empty, she hides the bag under her desk.
01:33A few moments later, Zilu enters the classroom.
01:37The teacher introduces him as the new transfer student.
01:40Su Xiao's expression changes when she sees him.
01:43The teacher then asks Zilu to sit next to Su Xiao, but she immediately objects.
01:48But the teacher tells her she doesn't own the classroom.
01:50Zilu heads to his seat, feeling full of joy inside.
01:54However, when he puts his books into the desk, the pig escapes, causing chaos in the classroom
01:59and the teacher yells at Su Xiao.
02:01After class, Su Xiao goes to the teacher's office and starts sobbing, saying the pig
02:05is important to her family, that it's her job, and without it, they'll face a financial
02:10crisis.
02:11But then she realizes the person sitting in the chair isn't the teacher.
02:14It's Zilu who was just delivering homework.
02:17Su Xiao yells at him, saying everything that happened was his fault, but Zilu tells her
02:21he has nothing to do with it.
02:23While Su Xiao is shouting, teacher Yuxin enters and scolds her.
02:27Su Xiao then explains that the pig is part of a job she shares with Xiao.
02:31As soon as Su Xiao mentions Xiao's name, Yuxin agrees to give the pig back, since she has
02:36a crush on Su Xiao's uncle.
02:38But she warns Su Xiao not to let it happen again and demands a 3,000-word report.
02:43Su Xiao returns to class, yelling at Zilu, promising she'll get revenge.
02:47She gathers her friends to confront Zilu after school, threatening to make him regret what
02:52he did.
02:53Just as they catch him, the teacher arrives and scolds Su Xiao and her friends in front
02:57of the whole school.
02:58Later, Zilu approaches Su Xiao and mocks her, telling her her plan failed.
03:03Exhausted, Su Xiao returns home.
03:06When she goes into the bathroom, she finds Zilu showering inside.
03:10She screams, but Xiao tells her that Zilu's father, an old acquaintance, contacted him
03:14and arranged for Zilu to rent a room in their house for a large sum.
03:18Her uncle says Zilu will take her room because it's already furnished, and she'll have to
03:22move to the storage room.
03:24Furious, Su Xiao yells at both Zilu and Xiao, saying she's leaving the house, and she actually
03:29storms out.
03:30But then it starts raining.
03:31Zilu steps onto the balcony, tosses her an umbrella, and tells her to protect herself
03:36from the rain.
03:37Su Xiao decides to return, packs her things from the room, and tells Zilu to take good
03:42care of them.
03:43At the end of the day, he stays in his room reminiscing about his childhood friend, while
03:47she at the same time was watching a video for Au, her favorite actor.
03:52However, she sees with him Zilu's picture and discovers he's famous too.
03:57She happily tells her friends on their own group.
04:00The next day, while they're eating, Su Xiao tells him she found out he's a famous actor
04:04and asks why he left the entertainment industry to come to a village like this.
04:08It seems he had some problems, but Xiao tries to defend him, saying she's wrong and maybe
04:13Zilu is just a failed actor, that's why he came to the village.
04:17Clearly, Xiao's words only make things worse.
04:20Su Xiao and Zilu go outside, and she asks him not to tell anyone at school that they're
04:24living together.
04:25He agrees, but on one condition, she lends him her bike.
04:29Su Xiao agrees, but Zilu offers to give her a ride instead.
04:33Just as she's about to get on, they both hear the village chief saying there's a famous
04:36actor named Zilu in the village and that everyone should welcome him.
04:40Zilu looks at Su Xiao angrily and asks when she told the village chief.
04:44She insists she didn't, but says she told her friends in their group chat, and it just
04:48so happened that one of them is the chief's son.
04:51Zilu gets furious, refuses to give her a ride, and leaves her alone.
04:56When Su Xiao gets to school, she finds all the students gathered around Zilu, asking
05:00for his autograph.
05:01When Zilu sees Su Xiao, he decides to get back at her.
05:05He tells everyone that she lives with him and that anyone who wants an autograph should
05:08give their photo to her and she'll deliver it to him.
05:11All the students rush towards Su Xiao instead of Zilu, and rumors of a romance between them
05:16start spreading.
05:17This makes Su Xiao hate Zilu even more, and she becomes determined to take revenge.
05:22Zilu heads to the school storage room looking for some peace and quiet.
05:26When he tells his friends what he did, they scold him for how he treated Su Xiao.
05:30After a while, Zilu falls asleep.
05:33When he wakes up, he finds Su Xiao standing in front of him.
05:36She proposes a truce and offers him half of her ice cream.
05:39But Zilu asks for the bigger half, and even though Su Xiao warns him that she already
05:44ate from it, he insists on taking it.
05:46On the way back, Su Xiao tricks Zilu into walking through a pineapple field.
05:51Then she suddenly stops and shouts to the farmers that the famous actor Zilu is here
05:54and wants to help.
05:56That way, she shifts her job onto him and gets her revenge.
05:59When Zilu finishes, he sits next to a boy named Liang, who happens to have the same
06:04pig that caused the commotion in class.
06:06Zilu starts playing with the pig and asks Liang what they plan to do with it.
06:10Liang tells him the pigs had caused problems in the barn, so they're going to eat it for
06:13dinner.
06:14Feeling sorry for the little pig, Zilu decides to secretly take it somewhere far away.
06:19While heading home at night, Su Xiao stops him and scolds him, asking why he did that.
06:24She tells him she knows he left the city because he hit a director and that he can't be causing
06:28problems in the village too.
06:30Zilu defends himself, saying he hit the director because he was harassing a female colleague
06:34who was too weak to defend herself.
06:37Su Xiao's view of him changes completely, and she tells him he did the right thing and
06:41wasn't wrong at all.
06:42Zilu asks her, so you're not blaming me like everyone else did?
06:46Su Xiao says no, and tells him to call the director and let him know he won't apologize
06:50and isn't sorry for what he did.
06:52For the first time since the incident, Zilu finally feels at peace.
06:56In the middle of the night, Zilu looks over at the bed and finds Su Xiao lying next to
07:01him.
07:02She had mistakenly thought it was still her room.
07:04No matter how hard Zilu tries to wake her, it's useless, she's an extremely heavy sleeper.
07:09Zilu starts feeling very tense from how close she is to him.
07:13When Su Xiao woke up in the morning, she found Zilu in front of her, trying to take the recorder
07:18from under her pillow.
07:19She screamed loudly, but Zilu slyly told her that she was the one who came into his room
07:24and slept there, was it some kind of attempt to seduce him?
07:27Su Xiao denied it and left the room in embarrassment, locking the door behind her.
07:32But Xiao reassured her, telling her Zilu had actually spent the night on the couch in the
07:36living room.
07:37While they were having breakfast, Zilu's father called.
07:40Su Xiao, continuing her revenge, grabbed the phone and told him that his son was distracting
07:45her from work and making her lose money.
07:47Zilu's father told her to make Zilu work with her on anything she wanted, and if he refused,
07:52she should let him know.
07:53Su Xiao took Zilu outside and told him that if he didn't help her, she'd play the recording
07:58in front of the whole village.
07:59Zilu had no choice but to agree, and he started helping her, opening the shop, delivering
08:04food, teaching kids, and even singing for the grandmothers.
08:08He began to realize how hard Su Xiao worked and how much effort she put into everything.
08:13But Zilu got tired of the exhausting labor, so to get back at her, he pretended to drop
08:17her notebook in the water.
08:19However, it actually did fall, and Zilu was surprised when Su Xiao burst into tears and
08:24told him how important it was to her, then walked away.
08:27Later, when Zilu sat with Su Xiao's friends, they explained to him that after her parents
08:31died, Su Xiao had been working multiple jobs and couldn't rely on her uncle because he
08:36was a fool.
08:37The notebook was where she kept track of the money the villagers owed her.
08:40If anything happened to it, she'd never be able to get her money back.
08:44Zilu felt guilty for what he had done and decided to go apologize.
08:48He found Su Xiao hitting rocks with a hammer and assumed she was still angry.
08:52But she explained that she was fishing, the fish hide under the rocks during the heat,
08:56and she catches them this way.
08:58Su Xiao asked Zilu to help her, and he did.
09:01Then the two of them sat down to eat together.
09:03Zilu apologizes for his actions, explaining that it wasn't his intention from the start.
09:08Su Xiao forgives him, understanding that he's been struggling with composing a new song.
09:13She advises him to take off his headphones and listen to the natural sounds around him.
09:17Zilu follows her advice, and that night, he wakes up to Su Xiao at dawn, telling him they're
09:22going on a trip.
09:23She warns him that he'll miss out if he doesn't come, but Zilu regrets going once he realizes
09:28that Su Xiao was actually enjoying the trip with her friend.
09:31She brought him along only to help with her work, including cleaning oysters with the
09:35elders.
09:36Things take a turn for the worse when Zilu discovers that his best friend, the famous
09:40actor Yu, has joined the trip to visit the village where Zilu is staying.
09:44Su Xiao is a huge fan of Yu, constantly asking for his autograph, a gesture she never did
09:50with Zilu, and sticking to him like glue, which makes Zilu feel angry and jealous.
09:55Even when both Zilu and Yu are stung by a jellyfish, Su Xiao rushes to help Yu first.
10:00Zilu and Yu sit together, and Yu points out that it's clear Zilu has feelings for Su Xiao,
10:05but Zilu tries to deny it, though Yu insists it's obvious.
10:09When they all return home, Xiao tells Yu that he's finally prepared the guest room and tells
10:14Zilu he can take it once Yu leaves.
10:16Su Xiao, who has always loved the guest room, asks Zilu if he can stay in her room while
10:21she takes the guest room instead.
10:23Unable to resist her charm, Zilu agrees, even convincing Yu to stay in his room and telling
10:28Su Xiao she can have it from now on.
10:30Yu continues to tease Zilu for denying that he's in love with Su Xiao while clearly being
10:35unable to resist her.
10:36Zilu playfully throws a pillow at him and shares that he's finally composed a new song
10:41but doesn't know what to do with it.
10:43The next day, as Yu prepares to leave, he talks to Su Xiao, giving her a lot of his
10:47pictures and memorabilia.
10:49He also reveals that Zilu didn't come just because he had a fallout with the director
10:53but because there have been rumors about him struggling with depression, so he came to
10:56the village to find some peace.
10:58Feeling guilty, Su Xiao decides to look up information about depression and its symptoms
11:03online.
11:04She finds a test and decides to use it with Zilu.
11:07She starts asking him random questions like about his appetite.
11:10While Zilu is frustrated by seeing Yu's pictures everywhere, he tells Su Xiao that he doesn't
11:15feel like eating but Su Xiao misinterprets it as a sign that he has no appetite.
11:20In the end, Su Xiao concludes that Zilu is suffering from severe depression and she becomes
11:25terrified that he might harm himself.
11:27Fearing for his safety, she starts watching him constantly.
11:30One day, she spots him on the school rooftop and panics, rushing over to him and pushing
11:35him to the ground.
11:36Zilu, shocked, asks her why she's acting this way, and Su Xiao angrily tells him he's an
11:42idiot before storming off.
11:43As Su Xiao drops her phone, Zilu picks it up and sees the depression test.
11:48He begins to understand everything and decides to take advantage of the situation.
11:52That night, Zilu pretends to be crying and hints to Su Xiao that he hates life.
11:57Su Xiao becomes even more panicked, so she gathers her friends, telling them that she
12:01can't handle this alone.
12:03Soon, all of them start watching Zilu, following him everywhere, even to the bathroom.
12:08They try to feed him well and even offer to stay at Su Xiao's house, specifically in his
12:13room, to keep an eye on him.
12:15Their constant attention drives him crazy.
12:17While they're all asleep, Zilu sneaks out for some fresh air.
12:21He receives a message from his former director, apologizing for what he did to the girl and
12:25asking Zilu to return to work with him.
12:28This happens because he secretly filmed Zilu while he was cleaning oysters, and the video
12:32went viral.
12:33People started loving Zilu even more than before, which helped change everything for
12:38him.
12:39At this point, Su Xiao realizes that Zilu is missing and she's horrified, fearing that
12:43he might have harmed himself.
12:45She immediately gathers her friends and asks them to search everywhere for him.
12:49She even makes an announcement over the village speakers, telling everyone that Zilu has depression
12:54and is missing, urging them to find him before he hurts himself.
12:58Meanwhile, Zilu is listening to music, unaware of everything happening around him.
13:03Suddenly, Liang and his friends appear, spot him, and start chasing him without Zilu knowing
13:08why.
13:09In the end, they catch him and tie him to a chair, stuffing a sock in his mouth.
13:13They bring him back to the house, where Zilu finds Su Xiao crying, with all the villagers
13:18gathered outside.
13:19When they remove the sock, Zilu starts yelling, calling her a fool, because he's fine and
13:24doesn't have depression.
13:25Su Xiao quickly puts the sock back in his mouth, and once the crowd leaves, she feels
13:30guilty about her actions.
13:32She apologizes, explaining that she was just worried about him.
13:35Zilu tells her that he forgives her, admitting that he was deeply touched when he saw her
13:39crying over him.
13:41He reassures her that he won't cause her any more trouble, as he plans to leave the village
13:45the next day.
13:46Suddenly, Su Xiao feels a wave of sadness, unsure why, and she leaves the room.
13:51Zilu steps out onto the balcony, where Xiao asks him if he's really planning to leave.
13:56Zilu explains everything that happened, and Xiao advises him to think carefully and focus
14:01only on what truly makes him happy.
14:03Zilu realizes that acting is not what brings him joy, composing songs is, and staying in
14:08the village with Su Xiao is what he wants.
14:11Zilu then calls the director, telling him that he won't return to work with him.
14:15The next day, Zilu is surprised when Su Xiao publicly apologizes over the village speakers
14:20for what she did and clears up the misunderstanding, explaining everything to the villagers.
14:25Zilu forgives her, and he tells her that he's not leaving the village.
14:29They decide to continue being schoolmates and housemates.
14:32Later, Zilu sits down with Su Xiao and tells her that he managed to compose a song, which
14:37he sent to his singer friend.
14:39The friend recorded it, and Zilu earned money from it, money that could help Su Xiao recover
14:43from the loss of her notebook.
14:45Su Xiao is thrilled and says that now she can buy a car for Xiao instead of his old
14:49bike.
14:50Zilu tells her that he's planning to visit the city soon to meet his friend and buy the
14:54car he wants.
14:55He invites her to come along, but Su Xiao refuses, saying that she could never step
14:59foot in the city.
15:01Zilu is puzzled and the next day at school, he asks her friends why she refuses to go
15:05to the city.
15:06Liang explains to Zilu that Su Xiao has a deep fear of the city.
15:10She first went there with her parents and tragically lost them in an accident.
15:14Years later, she went with her grandmother, who also died in another accident.
15:19Since then, Su Xiao has never returned to the city due to her fear, even refusing to
15:23open her eyes when in its direction.
15:26Zilu is moved by this and decides he will help her overcome her fear.
15:30That night, Zilu finds Xiao in his room, and the uncle asks him to take Su Xiao to the
15:34city, believing it will help her face her fears.
15:37He doesn't want her to stay in the village, wasting away and giving up on her dreams.
15:42Zilu tells him that he already offered to take her, but she refused.
15:46Together, they come up with a plan to take advantage of Su Xiao's heavy sleep.
15:50They cover her eyes, put her in the car, and head to the city.
15:53When Su Xiao wakes up, she finds herself in the car with Zilu.
15:57He tells her they've arrived in the city, but she's horrified and refuses to move.
16:01Zilu reassures her, offering her clothes and proper shoes to replace her pajamas and slippers.
16:07However, Su Xiao is too scared to care about her appearance, keeping her eyes covered.
16:12Zilu decides to take her as she is.
16:14They go to a restaurant where Zilu meets his singer friend to sign the song contract.
16:19Zilu feeds Su Xiao as they laugh together, enjoying the moment.
16:23The singer watches them, amused, and remarks that Zilu seems much happier since he left acting.
16:28She tells him to reach out whenever he needs her and offers to take him to a car agency
16:32to help with his car purchase.
16:34When they arrive at the garage, Su Xiao feels more comfortable in the enclosed space and
16:39removes her eye cover.
16:40She notices Zilu's friend and compliments her lipstick, but Su Xiao becomes angry when
16:45Zilu mocks her in front of the singer.
16:47They then go to the car salesman, and after some negotiations, they manage to get the
16:51car at the price they want.
16:53As Zilu tells Su Xiao they're leaving, she quickly covers her eyes again, saying she
16:57won't open them until they're back in the village.
17:00However, when they leave the garage, Zilu places her in the car and takes her to an
17:04amusement park.
17:05Ironically, Su Xiao plays all the games with her eyes still covered, despite being scared.
17:11After they leave the park, Zilu carries Su Xiao on his back, but he eventually gets tired
17:15and drops her, telling her to open her eyes because the place isn't scary.
17:19Su Xiao refuses, and Zilu threatens to leave her alone.
17:23Su Xiao tells him to go, and to her surprise, he actually walks away.
17:28Su Xiao sits down on the ground, feeling abandoned.
17:31A few minutes later, someone comes and removes the cover from her eyes.
17:35Terrified of the lights, Su Xiao doesn't know where to go.
17:38Suddenly she almost gets hit by a car, but Zilu rushes in to save her and hugs her, apologizing
17:44for leaving her alone.
17:45He tells her to try opening her eyes, and slowly, Su Xiao does.
17:50As she opens her eyes, she is amazed by how beautiful the lights are, realizing that they
17:54aren't scary at all.
17:56Zilu takes Su Xiao back to the car, and they return to the village.
18:00At school the next day, teacher Yuxin informs them that both Su Xiao and Liang's grades
18:04are poor and they need to improve.
18:06She asks Jin Jin, Liang's friend, to help him study, and she asks Zilu to help Su Xiao.
18:12Liang is happy because he has feelings for Jin Jin, but Su Xiao is less than thrilled
18:16about Zilu teaching her.
18:18She refuses and starts studying on her own, though she constantly falls asleep out of
18:22exhaustion.
18:23Frustrated, Su Xiao goes to Xiao and asks him to watch over her to make sure she doesn't
18:28sleep while studying.
18:29However, they both end up falling asleep together.
18:32The next day, Su Xiao decides to ask Zilu for help.
18:36He immediately agrees, and they start studying together day and night.
18:39Zilu pushes himself so hard that he eventually falls asleep from exhaustion beside her.
18:45Curious about what Zilu is listening to, Su Xiao checks and is shocked to find that it's
18:49not music, but a recording of her voice.
18:52In a flashback, we see Su Xiao's grandmother bringing young Zilu to their house, saying
18:57he's the son of her friend.
18:58Su Xiao and Zilu spend the entire summer together and grow very close, falling in love.
19:04Su Xiao notices Zilu's passion for music and encourages him to become a composer when
19:08he grows up.
19:10She even makes a record for him, confessing her love and promising to marry him when they
19:14are older, asking him to become a famous composer.
19:17Su Xiao is embarrassed when she remembers this, and as Zilu wakes up, he gets nervous.
19:23However, Su Xiao pretends that she didn't hear anything because the record isn't playing
19:27anymore, which frustrates Zilu.
19:29Later, Su Xiao goes to her friend Jin Jin and tells her about the situation, feeling
19:34embarrassed.
19:35Jin Jin mocks her, saying that of course Zilu knows, since she's his childhood friend.
19:40The exams finally begin, and everyone does well, achieving good marks.
19:44Teacher Yuxin encourages them to enjoy their last summer before their final year of high
19:49school.
19:50The group decides to go on a trip, and at the last minute, Ayu and Zilu's friend, the
19:54singer, decide to join them, which makes Ayu a little jealous.
19:58They all gather together, and even Jin Jin tries to get closer to Zilu in an attempt
20:02to make Liang jealous.
20:04During their conversation, Su Xiao brings up a place that is rumored to be haunted by
20:08a ghost.
20:09According to the legend, if you visit and ask for a wish, the ghost will grant it.
20:13Nobody believes her, but Su Xiao keeps insisting to go with her.
20:17Finally, they all agree to go at night.
20:20Once they arrive at the place, strange things begin to happen.
20:23The group splits up to explore, and suddenly, Fu sees what he believes is a ghost and screams,
20:28running away in panic.
20:30However, later it's revealed that it was all a prank set up by Zilu's friends, aimed at
20:34scaring Zilu and his group.
20:36The singer, upon discovering that it was a prank, purposely gets closer to Zilu, eyeing
20:41Su Xiao to make her jealous, while making sure to play it up in front of her.
20:45Su Xiao, feeling jealous, quickly leaves the place, and Zilu follows her to make sure she's
20:50okay.
20:51As they are walking, they come across the room that Xiao once mentioned to Su Xiao,
20:55claiming it was haunted and capable of granting wishes.
20:58The group decides to enter the room one by one and ask the ghost to grant their wish.
21:03Each friend enters, and the ghost laughs at their requests, declaring that he won't fulfill
21:07any of their wishes.
21:09When it's Su Xiao's turn, the ghost asks her who the one person on earth is that she cannot
21:13live without.
21:15After a moment of hesitation, Su Xiao initially thinks of Xiao but the ghost presses her for
21:19someone else.
21:21Su Xiao then says Zilu.
21:22Outside, Zilu overhears and feels happy, but then realizes it was all part of a prank orchestrated
21:28by Aew and the singer, seeking revenge on the group.
21:31As the friends prepare to leave, they hear voices from Xiao and Yuxin, which surprises
21:36them.
21:37They discover Xiao is taking Yuxin into the room, confessing his love for her.
21:41To everyone's shock, Yuxin accepts his feelings, revealing that she has had a crush on him
21:45all along.
21:47Just before they can kiss, the kids rush into the room, interrupting the moment.
21:51Su Xiao is not happy about what she's seen and, later, she takes Xiao back to the house,
21:56bombarding him with questions about when and how he fell in love with Yuxin.
22:00Zilu steps in, reminding Su Xiao that Xiao is old enough to make his own choices in life.
22:05That night, all the friends gather at Su Xiao's house.
22:08The girls sleep in her room while the guys sleep together.
22:11Xiao, wanting to prove that he's mature, gathers everyone and starts discussing their future
22:16dreams and how to pursue them while also remembering to enjoy life.
22:20Everyone shares their dreams, and when it's Su Xiao's turn, she says that her wish is
22:24to stay in the village with her uncle.
22:26The next day, everything takes a turn for the worse for Su Xiao.
22:30The village mayor informs her that her store must be demolished to make way for a new road
22:34leading to the city.
22:35He offers to buy it at an even higher price, but Su Xiao refuses.
22:39Xiao, however, accepts the idea, believing that the road will be better for the village's
22:44future.
22:45This leads to an argument between Su Xiao and Xiao, with Xiao asking Zilu for his opinion.
22:51Zilu, wanting to avoid making Su Xiao upset, sides with her.
22:55Su Xiao becomes furious and tells Xiao that the store is not just a business, it's her
23:00home.
23:01By wanting to demolish it, he's essentially trying to kick her out of her own house.
23:05In a fit of anger, she tells Xiao to leave her house, vowing to make him feel what it's
23:09like to be kicked out of one's home.
23:11Xiao ends up outside, unsure of where to go, until one of the village elders sees him and
23:16takes him to her house.
23:17While they're having a meal, the elder reveals to Xiao that she was the ghost who encouraged
23:21him when he was young, urging him to follow his dreams.
23:24Xiao is stunned and expresses his gratitude, telling her that she believed in him when
23:29everyone else mocked him for leaving high school to start working.
23:32They called him a failure, but he succeeded because of her belief in him.
23:36Xiao, feeling overwhelmed, drinks a lot, and Zilu eventually arrives to take him back
23:41home.
23:42Drunk, Xiao tells Zilu that he doesn't do things for the money but because he feels
23:45connected to the village through Su Xiao's store.
23:48With the store gone, Su Xiao will likely go to the city to chase her dreams.
23:52He argues that she's young and life is ahead of her, but he doesn't want her to bury herself
23:57in the village.
23:58Zilu, moved by Xiao's words, starts to understand his point of view.
24:02He tells Xiao that he will help convince Su Xiao to give up the store.
24:06The next day, Su Xiao tells Xiao that, since she owns half of the store and half of the
24:10house, she will make things right by balancing it out.
24:13She decides to give Xiao the house and keep the store for herself.
24:17While Zilu is not happy with this decision, he helps her move her things into the store.
24:21He expresses that he doesn't think what she's doing is right, but Su Xiao stands firm, telling
24:26him that he's wrong.
24:27She adds that once they graduate high school, Zilu will leave the village for the city,
24:31while she will stay behind alone.
24:33Zilu, feeling hurt that Su Xiao doesn't seem to care about him, gets angry and storms off.
24:39He tells her that she doesn't care about her friends either, as they're all standing with
24:42him and Xiao, which makes Su Xiao even more upset.
24:46A few minutes later, Su Xiao hears a noise outside and assumes it's Xiao trying to mess
24:50with her.
24:51However, when she steps outside, she discovers it's a maniacal stranger trying to set fire
24:56to her store, claiming the village needs the road.
24:59Su Xiao screams, but the man pushes her aside.
25:02Just as things are about to escalate, Xiao arrives and beats the man up.
25:06Zilu, hearing the commotion, rushes over to help.
25:10As the police arrive to take the man away, Su Xiao feels a surge of guilt.
25:14She realizes that her anger had made her forget about the people who truly care for her.
25:19Zilu sits down with her afterward and tells her that he understands how much the store
25:23means to her because it holds memories of her grandmother.
25:25However, he reminds her that if her grandmother were alive, she would never want Su Xiao to
25:30give up her dreams just to stay in the village.
25:32Su Xiao is deeply touched by Zilu's words, and she begins to remember her grandmother,
25:37the woman who built the store with the intention of helping take care of Su Xiao.
25:41As these memories flood her mind, Xiao returns with some Coca-Cola, just like Su Xiao's grandmother
25:46used to do.
25:48They all sit together and share a drink, reconciling and putting the past behind them.
25:52Su Xiao then decides to accept the demolition of the store in order to allow the construction
25:57of the road.
25:58The following day, Zilu and his friends are gathered to clean the pineapples and prepare
26:02them for storage, just like they do every year.
26:04However, they seem unhappy that Su Xiao forced them into it.
26:08As Zilu is listening to a voice note from his friend, he accidentally plays it on speaker,
26:13and they all hear his friend ask, have you confessed to Su Xiao about your feelings or
26:17not?
26:18Zilu is taken aback by this, but his friends tell him that it was pretty obvious from the
26:22beginning.
26:23Meanwhile, Jin Jin's brother approaches Liang, informing him that their parents have arranged
26:28a blind date for her.
26:29Liang is shocked because he actually has feelings for Jin Jin, but he lacks the courage to confess.
26:34Determined to express his feelings, Liang rushes to her house but freezes outside, unable
26:39to say anything to her because of his fear.
26:42His friends, seeing his dilemma, decide to help him confess to Jin Jin.
26:46They begin training him on how to confess, first with a cute approach, then with a harsh
26:51one, and finally with an emotional one, trying to cover all the possible ways to express
26:55his feelings.
26:56Zilu and Su Xiao decide to play along with the roles, and Su Xiao ends up confessing
27:01to Zilu in front of Liang.
27:03As she gets closer, she hears Zilu say that he loves her too.
27:07Liang is now certain that something is going on between them, and the atmosphere becomes
27:11tense.
27:12Later, Zilu and Su Xiao go to a restaurant, but Su Xiao can't stop thinking about what
27:17Zilu said.
27:18She's nervous, especially when he suddenly asks her about her favorite type of man.
27:23Before she can respond, Zilu's phone receives a message.
27:27Su Xiao, eager to avoid his question, asks for the password to check the message.
27:31Zilu hesitates for a moment before telling her it's 745730.
27:35Su Xiao, intrigued, asks him why he was so hesitant to say it.
27:40Zilu is surprised that she doesn't know the meaning behind it.
27:44Meanwhile, Liang finds out that Jin Jin's parents have agreed to the blind date and
27:48that they plan to marry her off to the man they've chosen.
27:51Shocked and heartbroken, Liang rushes to Jin Jin, pulls her away, and confesses his love
27:56to her in a mix of cute, harsh, and hesitant ways.
27:59Jin Jin laughs at his awkward confession but tells him that they're still young and she'll
28:03respond to his feelings later.
28:05At the same time, Zilu, Su Xiao, and Liang are together, each dealing with their own
28:10emotional struggles, unsure of what's to come next.
28:13Su Xiao decides to look up the numbers Zilu gave her and discovers an account tied to
28:18that number.
28:19To her shock, the account is owned by Zilu, and he has posted about her.
28:23Su Xiao, feeling hurt and confused, thinks that Zilu is making fun of her and angrily
28:28confronts him.
28:29She storms off, leaving Zilu stunned at how misled she is.
28:33He quickly follows her, but Liang explains that the number actually means love, and that
28:38Su Xiao is too slow to figure it out.
28:41Later, Zilu, Liang, and their third friend sit together, both of them venting about how
28:46the girls they like are laughing at them.
28:48Meanwhile, Su Xiao continues to scroll through Zilu's account, and she sees a post where
28:52Zilu talks about how his childhood friend didn't recognize him even after hearing her
28:56own record, which hurt him.
28:58In a panic, Su Xiao accidentally likes the post.
29:02Zilu, shocked that she's been reading his posts, quickly messages her, asking if she's
29:06discovered his true identity.
29:08Su Xiao admits that she has, and Zilu feels a sense of relief and happiness.
29:13He sends her a new song he composed, and both of them feel overwhelmed with joy and love.
29:18The next morning, things feel different between them.
29:21They are much sweeter and more loving, exchanging little acts of kindness like offering to go
29:26to the bathroom first instead of fighting over it like they usually do.
29:30Even when the last egg is on the table, they both refuse to take it, offering it to the
29:34other before Xiao finally takes it.
29:36It's clear that their feelings for each other have grown, and their relationship is blossoming
29:40in a new, tender way.
29:42Zilu invites Su Xiao to join him while he goes out to compose a new song.
29:46Su Xiao, seeing it as a date, wears a dress for the first time, and Zilu is absolutely
29:51mesmerized by her beauty.
29:53They spend the entire day together, enjoying each other's company as if it were a romantic
29:58date.
29:59When they return, however, Xiao unexpectedly tells Zilu in front of Su Xiao that his father
30:03had sent him bus tickets to the city.
30:06Neither Zilu nor Su Xiao knew about this, and Su Xiao, feeling hurt, becomes angry at
30:11Zilu for not mentioning it earlier.
30:13Zilu tries to explain, but she shuts him down, refusing to listen.
30:17Later, the elderly woman, who had been cutting pineapples to preserve for the coming year,
30:22comes to the house.
30:23Su Xiao, still upset, tells Zilu that he's not allowed to touch the pineapples.
30:28Both Su Xiao and Zilu spend the day in silence, not speaking to each other.
30:33That night, Xiao comes to them with the heartbreaking news that the elderly woman had passed away
30:37at the hospital from a heart attack.
30:39Shocked and deeply saddened, they attend her funeral, mourning her loss.
30:44When Zilu returns home afterward, he finds a box left by the elderly woman.
30:48Inside, there are jars of preserved pineapples and a heartfelt message from her.
30:53She explains that Su Xiao started preserving the pineapples this way when they were young,
30:57during the year he left, because she knew how much he loved them.
31:01She had been saving them for him, hoping he would return, but the pineapples would spoil
31:05too quickly.
31:06That's why she taught Su Xiao how to preserve them, and ever since then, Su Xiao has been
31:10making them every year for him.
31:12The woman also encourages Zilu to visit the haunted place, just as Xiao was proposing
31:17to Yuxin in the same room.
31:19Yuxin, touched by his words, happily accepts his proposal.
31:23After Zilu arrives at the haunted place, he finds Su Xiao waiting for him there.
31:27She had left a message on the wall, saying that she wishes they would never argue again.
31:32Zilu is deeply moved by her gesture, and the two reconcile.
31:36He thanks her for all the years of preserving pineapples for him, and promises that he will
31:40never leave her again.
31:41The next scene shows Xiao and Yuxin's wedding, where everyone is filled with happiness and
31:46joy as they celebrate their love, and the friends are all happy to see them begin their
31:50new journey together.
31:51In the next scene, Liang and Jingjing are playing basketball.
31:55Jingjing tells him that she has finally made her decision about their future together.
31:59She promises to go to university with him, as long as her grades are good.
32:04Liang, inspired by her words, begins practicing basketball, hoping to improve his skills and
32:09join the university team, even if his grades are not as high.
32:13The following day, Su Xiao and Zilu are spending time together when Zilu's father suddenly
32:17appears in front of them.
32:19Su Xiao, surprised, invites him to their house for dinner.
32:23During the meal, Zilu's father demands that Zilu return to the city and focus on his studies,
32:28insisting that Zilu should go back to his old school.
32:31Zilu, however, expresses his passion for composing songs and his desire to pursue that dream.
32:37His father, dismissing Zilu's ambitions, calls him a failure and tells him that he will never
32:42succeed.
32:43But Su Xiao stands up, scolding the man for saying that his son is a failure.
32:47She says that Zilu is awesome and that he will be a famous and successful composer one
32:52day.
32:53Zilu was happy about how Su Xiao defended him, but she was not happy as she had scolded
32:57Zilu's father.
32:58Zilu tells her not to be angry at his father, as he always speaks like that.
33:03Su Xiao tells him to step away, and she goes to the father's room.
33:07Stu tells the father not to speak like that about Zilu, as he is not a failure.
33:12He explains that from one song, Zilu managed to gain back the money he made her lose and
33:16even earned 800 as profit.
33:18When the father sees her notebook, he tells her that she is smart and reminds him of himself
33:22when he was her age and that she has a bright future ahead of her.
33:26She tells him that since he likes her, she wants to talk more about Zilu, saying that
33:30he has a lot of fans and that his music is great.
33:33He asks what type of music his son is producing.
33:35She replies that she doesn't know, but she likes hearing it.
33:39She tells him that he must support Zilu as his father, and the man is convinced, while
33:43Zilu listens in and is happy about what Su Xiao is saying.
33:46The next day, the father tells Zilu that he listened to his music and liked it, so he
33:51brought him some private training composers.
33:53But Zilu tells him that he doesn't want to leave the village.
33:56When he goes to Su Xiao, she scolds him and tells him that if he wants to be a successful
34:01composer, he must leave the village.
34:03Then she leaves him.
34:04When she returns home, she discovers that Zilu's and his father's belongings are missing.
34:09She asks Xiao where they are, and he tells her that they left.
34:12Su Xiao breaks down in tears, wondering how Zilu could leave without telling her.
34:17She keeps crying, but then she sees Zilu coming toward her.
34:21He tells her, don't cry, you idiot.
34:23We just went to visit my mom's grave.
34:26Su Xiao gets angry and walks away, but Zilu keeps following her, trying to reconcile with
34:31her until he falls on his face.
34:33She starts laughing at him.
34:34Then they decide that Zilu will leave now with his father, and Su Xiao will do her best
34:39to join a university in the city to be with him.
34:41The friends decide to have a gathering to celebrate Zilu's departure.
34:45As Su Xiao wasn't there, Jin Jin tells Zilu to confess to Su Xiao and not to lose the
34:50chance.
34:51Zilu goes to Su Xiao and plays the record she recorded for him, then plays a record
34:55he made for her, telling her to take care of herself while he's away, that he'll never
34:59forget her, and that he will come back for her one day.
35:02Su Xiao then takes out a box filled with fireflies and tells him that she wanted this moment
35:06to be unforgettable.
35:08After that, Zilu leaves, promising Su Xiao, who was crying, that he will never leave her
35:13and will always stay in touch.
35:15Su Xiao keeps studying all year with the help of her teacher, Yuxin.
35:19However, she keeps trying to contact Zilu but can't.
35:22After some time, she gives up on contacting him and throws herself into her studies.
35:27They reach the final exams, and she and her friends pass with good grades and get accepted
35:31into the universities they wanted.
35:33They celebrate by drinking on Su Xiao's 18th birthday and decide to sneak into their old
35:38school.
35:39Liang confesses to Jin Jin again, and this time, she accepts.
35:43Suddenly, Su Xiao sees fireflies everywhere, and when she enters the classroom, she finds
35:48Zilu, who had prepared everything to celebrate her birthday and also to confess his love.
35:53Su Xiao scolds him for being away so long, but he tells her that his father promised
35:57to give their relationship a chance if he managed not to contact her and succeeded in
36:01his exams.
36:03Su Xiao forgives him and confesses her love to him, too.
36:06They then go out to celebrate.
36:08The drama ends with the friends taking pictures in front of the store before it's demolished.
36:13They are all happy, waiting to fulfill their dreams.
