Yu Zhi is a shy mimosa that doesn't fold its leaves when people touch it. He travels far and wide to find the inheritor who can make mo ye for a friend, following a scent from England to a manor, where he sneaks into the inheritor's home.
But! He's a mimosa!
And since he's a mimosa that doesn't fold its leaves, he can't absorb spiritual energy either.
Then, on a bright and sunny day, he unexpectedly takes human form.
With a poof, he turns into a person and comes face-to-face with the inheritor.
Yu Zhi, determined to be friendly, clasps his hands together. "Hullo! I is a minosa!"
Afraid the inheritor won't understand, he introduces himself again in English. "Hello, I is are han xiu cao."
The inheritor says, "A foreign-educated plant! I'm keeping him!"
Yu Zhi's Chinese is atrocious, and the inheritor can't stand it, so he starts teaching him.
Lesson: "Say it with me: I, wo~, wo~, I."
Practice: "Wo! Wowo wo!"
He's enthusiastic about learning, but his accent is still terrible.
After more than a dozen failed attempts,
the inheritor gives up and spreads his hands. Yu Zhi comes closer, blinking pitifully as he tugs at the hem of his clothes and shakes his head while speaking. "Sowwy."
Then he mumbles to himself, "But wittle gwass don't need to wearn to suck."
The inheritor sighs. Fine, he'll keep taking care of him.
But as time goes by, something unexpected happens.
Yu Zhi's little head is stunned. He found the wrong inheritor!
The real inheritor is someone else!
Yu Zhi scrambles back into his original form and tries to run off to England to find his friend.
Then someone catches him.
The fake inheritor holds Yu Zhi up by his leaves. "Where do you think you're going? I raised you, so now you're mine. Got it? If you try to run, I'll spank your butt!"
His leaves sway back and forth.
Yu Zhi's head spins.

Chen Yin's grandfather gave him a handful of tulip seeds, so he figured he might as well plant them.
Then he spotted a patch of grass among the tulips.
Chen Yin crouched down to take a look, and a huge young man came crashing into his arms with a poof.
He even called out, "Hullo!" (｡･∀･)ﾉﾞ
A silly little grass spirit.
It chattered away, saying, "You must be my inheritor."
Chen Yin couldn't understand him, but it was easy enough to bluff. With nothing better to do, he took in this little grass spirit who couldn't even speak properly.
But while he was taking care of him, the little guy tried to run away!
As if he'd let that happen!
"Try running again, and I'll spank you!"
Bonus scene
"Hey! You can't touch my leaves!" Yu Zhi turns back into a plant, his leaves trembling as he complains to Chen Yin.
"How come you can't fold them back?"
"Because... because..."
"Because you're a fake mimosa."
"I is not!" He turns human, and his accent immediately goes back to being terrible.
Yu Zhi puffs out his chest and pats it with great pomp. "I is a high-grade han xiu cao!"
Theme: The little grass spirit is a high-grade, cold-resistant mimosa!
