Lin Luo remembers that summer vacation after high school graduation. Gu Yuzhi was playing basketball with a few friends when a torrential downpour began.
She braved the rain to bring him an umbrella, only to see him lift a girl high into the air while everyone cheered them on.
She froze in the doorway, unsure whether she should go in.
Gu Yuzhi noticed her, came over, and bent down toward her. His peach blossom eyes gleamed as he teased, "Hey, why are you crying? Don't tell me you like me?"
Lin Luo suddenly couldn't speak. With red-rimmed eyes, she muttered, "I don't."

Later, they got into the same university. One evening during a department outing, they went camping in the mountains.
By the campfire, a few friends started playing truth or dare and dared a guy from another department to carry Lin Luo around on his back.
Lin Luo didn't refuse. Just as everyone began clapping and cheering, Gu Yuzhi stood up, came over, and crouched in front of her. "Get on. I'll carry you."
Lin Luo dodged far away. "What are you doing?"
Gu Yuzhi lowered his eyes and pressed his lips together. Those beautiful peach blossom eyes of his held a hint of temptation and pleading. "How about you just keep liking me?"
