At the end of Apricot Blossom Lane live two families: the Lu family and the Huang family.
The Lu family has a son who studies the classics diligently. His name is Lu Zheng. Though still young, he is mature beyond his years and exceptionally clever. All the neighbors in the lane say he is destined for great things.
The Huang family has a charming, adorable young man named Huang Li. The youngest child in the family, he is lively and sweet, and everyone dotes on him.
The carefree little Huang Li has unexpectedly developed a worry of his own. His father, mother, and older brothers are frantic when they see how downcast he is every day.
But little Huang Li can't tell them what's on his mind: it has to do with the young man from the Lu family next door.
