    The female lead's mother is the Qin family's nanny, and the male lead is the eldest son of the Qin family. The female lead lives at the male lead's house. [Sending heart] I have a deep impression of their first encounter scene: on Halloween night, the male lead, soaking wet, stares intently at the female lead in her glowing dress, then falls down and hugs her tightly. Later, on a rainy day, he waits outside the female lead's window, refusing to use an umbrella just to watch her. Many scenes are incredibly atmospheric. The male lead can't speak Chinese in the early stages, expressing his emotions through actions, which is clumsy yet endearing.
