In her first year of high school, Cen Cheng fell in love for the first time with a man nine years older than her.
Later, she learned that he was actually her biological second uncle, back from overseas.
Cen Cheng painfully put an end to her unrequited love before it could go anywhere.
In her second year of college, she learned that he wasn't her uncle after all. They had been switched at birth when they were children.
The seed buried deep in her heart for years broke through the soil and began to sprout again...

During exam week, Cen Cheng stayed up late studying. Wen Yushu brought a bag of red bean tangyuan to her dormitory.
"Come down and get some late-night snacks," Wen Yushu messaged her.
"Thanks, big brother." Cen Cheng went downstairs wearing an oversized down jacket.
After his true background came to light, she never called him her second uncle again.
"I want to hear you call me that one more time." Cen Cheng was in a hurry to take the tangyuan upstairs and didn't have time to talk with Wen Yushu. Just as she turned to leave, she heard him say it.
"Huh?"
"Call me 'big brother' one more time." The corners of his eyes lifted ever so slightly. Beneath the moonlight, his handsome features seemed to cast a spell, tempting her to fall.
"Big brother."
That night, Cen Cheng felt as if the universe had sent down a shower of shooting stars, and gentle rain had nourished a barren forest.
One day, the orange found its way up the tree.
A story where a secret crush comes true.
