There are two things that bother Yun Ling the most in his life: 1. Being upstaged by others, and 2. Being disrupted by others.
When she was eighteen years old, the "bamboo horse" who had disappeared for more than ten years suddenly landed at her house and took over both of them.
Hu Jixiao is handsome, poor, has good grades, and is very good at controlling her. He also pretends to be a grandson in front of her mother.
Yun Ling had long forgotten that he had a bathtub to bathe in, a bed to sleep under, and the most inseparable bamboo horse. To her, that person was a nasty guy who came back from the United States to disrupt her life.
Before she had time to worry, he told her another even more terrifying news:
"You insisted on taking a bath with me when I was a child and even touched me. You said you would be responsible for me."
Yun Ling:?
He looked casual and said in a very rude tone: "I can't afford to suffer. Think about it for yourself, how to be responsible for me."
Good guy.
Came to collect debts.

Intent: A "forgotten agreement" brings two young people on different life paths to meet again. Under the silent protection of the male protagonist, the female protagonist learns to face her own emotions and dependence; the male protagonist is finally seen and responded to through persistence spanning more than ten years. What the story conveys is: Those promises you make casually, maybe someone actually takes their life to take them seriously. About choice, growth, and the courage to "become who you want to be."
