Food blogger Chen Mu, fresh off being cheated on, moves into a new apartment. On his very first day, he knocks over a food delivery and runs into the female neighbor next door, wrapped in a bath towel. She gives him a frosty glance and slams the door shut.
Chen Mu figures she’ll be difficult to get along with.
But the next evening, while he’s livestreaming himself making braised pork, the apartment next door suddenly goes quiet.
Someone is drooling over his braised pork.
Chen Mu checks his stream records and discovers that “Wanwan,” his devoted fan of three years who prompts him to post at mealtimes every day, logged in from right next door.
Wait, miss, you’re as cold as ice during the day, but at night you’re in my livestream chat urging me to post?!
Fortunately, Su Wanyi doesn’t know that the person next door is “Chef Chen,” and Chen Mu pretends not to know, too, casually making an extra portion around mealtime.
A knock to “borrow some salt” opens the neighbor’s door, and “I made too much food” keeps the aloof teacher around.
On edge, Chen Mu thinks that will be the end of it. But as they spend more time together, he realizes that he and Su Wanyi get along surprisingly well: whenever he cooks, she comes out, and whenever he starts streaming, she’s online.
Worst of all, Chen Mu gradually falls for Su Wanyi, but he also can’t let go of “Wanwan,” the fan who keeps him company chatting late into the night and always orders something delicious.
And Su Wanyi faces the same dilemma.
“Bro, I have a friend who’s fallen for both the female neighbor next door and a devoted fan in his livestream chat.”
“Lao Zhou, I have a friend who’s fallen for both the male neighbor next door and a food blogger she follows.”
“That Wanwan is you!”
“You’re Chef Chen!”
Single female protagonist, delicate emotions, looking forward to the follow-up
