Cheng Che, a sheltered young master who knows little of the world, is full of hopes for his first love at the age when love is just beginning to bloom. But he gives all his affection to the wrong person. Seven years later, at a dental hospital, he unexpectedly runs into Xu Jiangyang, the best friend of that scumbag first love. As they spend time together, the love Xu Jiangyang has kept hidden for seven years gradually comes to light.
Stage One: After the reunion
Cheng Che resists Xu Jiangyang's care and concern. As they go about their daily lives and keep testing each other's boundaries, the misunderstanding from years ago slowly unravels. Cheng Che discovers that the WeChat account named “Little Period,” which kept him company as he learned to stand on his own in a foreign land, belonged to Xu Jiangyang.
Stage Two: Memories
Young Cheng Che is outgoing and passionate, but also delicate and timid. He develops a crush on Cui Hao, a senior who seems strong and confident. What he doesn't know is that Xu Jiangyang has always had his eyes on him. From the moment they collided and Xu Jiangyang fell in love at first sight, to every time he came to Cheng Che's rescue, it was always Xu Jiangyang.
Stage Three: The lingering hurt
Only when they once again encounter the shady and hypocritical dental expert from Hong Kong City do the truth about the injustice and framing Xu Jiangyang suffered come to light. Why had he never confessed his feelings or gone to find Cheng Che? Because his love, hidden deep within, and all those years of restraint were for the sake of one day being able to be with Cheng Che without a shadow of doubt.
Stage Four: Where love finds its home
Cheng Che is always slow to realize his feelings. Just as he discovers that he can no longer live without Xu Jiangyang, Xu Jiangyang holds a lavish engagement banquet with his mentor's daughter to free himself from Fang Zhuoqian's control. After uncovering the truth, Cheng Che uses a work opportunity to face Fang Zhuoqian head-on. That delicate young master has long since grown into a man who can stand on his own for love.
Theme: A years-long secret crush shows that true love is worth waiting for. Whether it means silently protecting someone or bravely pursuing them, both are necessary steps in growing for love.
