However, she seems to have forgotten to keep the warmth in her heart, that is, until an accidental run in with Xu Guangxi (Edward Lai) at a convenience store. The boy who used to go to her house to freeload for food has grown into a sunny young man.

Meeting Yike again after returning from studies abroad, Xu Guangxi's reliance towards her as a child has evolved into irresistible feelings of affection. But pursuing Yike is not an easy feat. It means that Guangxi will have to grow up quickly as if his life were on fast forward and bear the overwhelming pressures of reality. For the sake of love, he gradually matures through the years and learns to readjust his pace to move firmly towards Yike. As they grow closer, they come to understand the meaning of love.
