Chi Xu, the young master of the Chi family, is handsome and dashing, with a gloomy, aloof temperament. A cigarette hangs from his lips, its scarlet tip bold and conspicuous.
The first time Lin Xiaoqiao sees him, she is a little afraid of him.
She moves into the vast, lonely house as his companion, there to keep Chi Xu company.
Bored and looking for a way to pass the time, Chi Xu doesn't refuse.
Not long afterward, she accidentally starts crying in front of him.
He looks down, reaches out to wipe away her tears, and gently kisses the tip of her nose.
She blushes, bewildered.
Chi Xu soothes her, his gloom lifting as he murmurs tenderly, “Don't be sad. Who upset you, hmm? Tell me about it, and I'll make him cry.”
-
The private doctor says Chi Xu is ill, deeply empty inside.
Lin Xiaoqiao thinks he's indeed in need of warmth and care.

Later on,
Lin Xiaoqiao falls for the unruly Chi Xu.
To escape his advances, she starts going on blind dates.
But he books out restaurants and movie theaters, spending a fortune to ruin them.
Late at night, she's drunk and unsteady on her feet when he pulls her into his arms.
He leans close, his warm breath brushing against her as he murmurs in a husky voice, “Don't go. Will you stay by my side?”
-
Chi Xu quits smoking.
He quits drinking and gives up his motorcycle.
The one thing he can't give up is her smile and the sweetness she brings him.
