Chen Baixu follows his elders' instructions to look after the "little sister" who has come from his hometown, settling her into the vacant apartment 1801 across the hall.
The young woman is bright, adorable, and chatty. Other than being a little noisy and clingy, she's not so bad.
But he likes peace and quiet and hates trouble most of all.
Having fulfilled his duty to be courteous, Chen Baixu returns to his own apartment, 1802, and coolly pushes away the curious head trying to poke inside.
"You've been traveling all day. Get some rest."

Zhong Sheng leaves the safe, uneventful life of her hometown behind, determined to make a name for herself in the international metropolis.
Putting everything else aside, the landlord she meets on her first day shows her what it means to be a "remarkable man."
Not only is this Chen-gege tall and handsome, he's also polite and well-mannered, and he even owns his own company!
Apart from being reserved and hard to talk to, he has no flaws she can find.
No worries. They'll get to know each other with time!

Chen Baixu is at his wit's end. "Could you please be quiet and stop making so much noise?"
Zhong Sheng blinks at him. "My name is Zhong Sheng. Have you ever heard a bell that doesn't ring?"
At the time, Chen Baixu could never have imagined that the sound of that bell would haunt him like a ghost, keeping him up at night and making him lose every shred of his composure.
The moment I met you, fate came crashing down.
*Energetic girl x aloof landlord
[Reader's Note]:
1. Their families know each other, and the elders deliberately set them up by asking him to look after her.
2. Zhong isn't a naive, innocent girl. She really will brave the workplace.
3. Refined Chen-ge is five years older. Both are each other's first and only.
4. The last sentence of the blurb is quoted from Montmartre Testament.
