At 17, Su Qingyan falls in love with the boy known as "the most handsome guy at No. 1 High School."
A people-pleaser meets someone who knows how to guide him.
Unconventional, gentle Su Qingyan & devoted, tender Shen Mo
Shen Mo: You're so good to me. You must be good to your friends, too, right?
Su Qingyan: But I'm a people-pleaser...
Shen Mo: What about with me? Are you just trying to please me, too?
Su Qingyan: ...What am I supposed to say to that?
Shen Mo: Say whatever you want. I won't mind. I'm not petty. You can point out my flaws right to my face, and I won't mind.
Su Qingyan: But I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing.
Shen Mo: So what if you say the wrong thing? I'm not going to hit you. If you say something wrong, it just means you're being honest with your friend, that you really do care about them. Besides, I want you to talk to me without trying to please me. If you say the wrong thing, it'll just make me feel that you really see me as a friend, not an outsider.
Theme: A mutual journey toward each other.
