Synopsis

Sweet, obedient little flirt × a seemingly uptight but secretly possessive, lovesick soldier

Mutually devoted|Sweet everyday romance|Seven-year age gap|The heroine stops pursuing him halfway through|Light ensemble cast

When Zhou Zhao sees Huo Ciyan again after four years, he's a major general returning from a special training mission, while she's a freshman about to undergo his military training. On the first day, during a training march, he carries her bag and gives her some herbal balm. When her roommate asks about him, Zhou Zhao replies, “We’re not close.”

-

Driven by her attraction to him, Zhou Zhao decides to pursue him, hoping to bring her six-year-long unrequited crush to a happy end. She chases, he dodges, three times in all. Fine, it's not as if he’s the only man in the world.

“Brother Ciyan, I won't like you anymore.”

He panics. “Xiaozhao, would you please like me one more time?”

-

Rumor has it that the capital's youngest promising major general, Huo, avoids women, is cold and ascetic, and is rigidly serious. Yet one snowy day, everyone sees him bend down to tie Zhou Zhao's shoelaces, then lean in and beg for a kiss.

Across the street, her older brother Zhou Yanchuan, who has repeatedly forbidden Zhou Zhao from dating young, nearly grinds his teeth to dust. So he took Huo Ciyan for a friend, and his friend wants to be his brother-in-law!

Huo Shuangxiang, who's always worried her best friend is being bullied by her older brother, keeps trying to steal Huo Ciyan away. “My big brother is so fierce. Zhaozhao, why not dump him and come live with me?”

Huo Ciyan: “Write a ten-thousand-word self-criticism, and attend a month of closed training overseas.”

“Zhaozhao, did you see that? I told you my big brother is really, really fierce!”

Zhou Zhao: “But he calls me baby.”

-

Bonus scene:

On Huo Ciyan's birthday, Zhou Zhao, who's never had a taste of a man, can't hold back. She pins him against the wall with a domineering grin. “Boyfriend, can't you perform?”

He turns the tables and pins her to the wall. “Baby, don't tease me too much. This fire won't be easy to put out.”
