At 28, the high-maintenance Song Shengsheng has been back in her hometown working for six years. On a day when the whole family has gathered to celebrate, she and her relatives head to their usual restaurant. Amid the lively bustle, she is chatting and laughing when she glances up by chance and freezes as if struck by lightning. Lu Junchen is standing not far away: the man she has longed for over seven years, only to be mercilessly rejected when she finally worked up the courage to confess after graduating from college.
Lu Junchen looks as aloof and ascetic as ever, as though nothing in the world could catch his eye. But the instant his gaze happens to land on Song Shengsheng, an almost imperceptible heat flickers in his eyes, like a long-dormant beast that has finally spotted the prey it has been plotting to catch for seven years. A voice inside him screams wildly, urging him to rush over, lock her tightly at his side, and make her his.
But reason holds him back. He knows that with this “little fox,” he needs to patiently lay the bait and take his time. She ran away for seven years, but this time he won't let her slip away so easily. The corners of his mouth lift into a confident smile. He silently tells himself, “No rush. This little fox will be mine sooner or later.”
