Just back from overseas, award-winning DJ Xu Nuo takes her seat as a guest judge at a street dance competition. One song blows the roof off and sets the whole crowd ablaze.
During a break between rounds, she grabs a quick bite. By chance, she takes on an apprentice: her friend's sophomore nephew, a lively young man with boundless energy.
After mulling it over, she types out a message: "Hey! If you're interested in DJing, maybe we should talk first..."
She used to be ruthless about cutting ties. When her past relationship ended, she deleted every trace of her ex-boyfriend, Xing Xuan, with a single click, without the slightest hesitation.
But her new online friend is an arrogant, cocky brat, like a little wolf cub with its fur standing on end.
He acts aloof and proud, yet waits for her social media posts every day to make his presence known, calling her "Sis" over and over and clinging to her.
This hot-blooded college student understands her better than anyone.
Xu Nuo curls her lips into a faint smile, amusement gleaming in her eyes.
It's a refreshing change to go easy on an online friend.
After all these years apart, she might as well keep a "side account" for fun and to pass the time.

After years apart, Xing Xuan freezes when he runs into his ex-girlfriend in the backstage corridor.
She's changed so much. Her sharp, shoulder-length haircut and silver-gray highlights make her look cool and striking.
In her panic, the vintage digital watch he gave her peeks out from her wrist. It's so understated nobody recognizes it, but seeing it fills him with a rush of joy and anger he can hardly contain.
Not long afterward, a friend request arrives from an unfamiliar ID.

On the day of their meetup, Xu Nuo drives her sports car to the rendezvous, with Xing Xuan quietly tailing her the whole way.
They keep watch over the university gates, one in plain sight and the other hidden, waiting for the "boyfriend" she's never met in person.
When she spots a handsome figure in the distance, she runs over with a smile and warmly grabs a young man.
Xing Xuan, in the crowd, watches his pupils contract. Dressed in black, he yanks off his sunglasses, but before he can reveal who he is...
The next second, the young man gets in her car, and they speed away.
Xing Xuan is stunned: ???

Bonus Scene 1
Xing Xuan accepts the unfamiliar friend request, his eyes bloodshot. It's her. It has to be her.
Xu Nuo messages her junior and apprentice: Little guy, did you practice your drums seriously today?
Junior (replies instantly): With you keeping an eye on me, Sis, I have to! By the way, who's that grumpy old guy at the university gate?
Xing Xuan: ...
Bonus Scene 2
Junior: Sis, that watch on your wrist is so tacky. Where'd you get it?
Xu Nuo casually lifts her hand. Picked it up somewhere. It's handy.
In the shadows, Xing Xuan's heart aches, but he can barely contain his joy. Picked it up? I gave that to you!!
