On the first day of the new semester on the university campus, Ding Xian pushed her suitcase to the boys' dormitory to look for Zhou Siyue. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by the dorm supervisor and not allowed in. Ignoring the curious gazes of others on campus, Ding Xian stood downstairs and shouted Zhou Siyue’s name, asking him to come down and get her.

Many people were watching her bold move, and Zhou Siyue, upon hearing she was looking for him, quickly shut off his computer and ran from the classroom back to the dorm building to meet her. Zhou Siyue's sunny and handsome appearance made him an idol to many students, so naturally, someone calling his name so loudly attracted attention.

Ding Xian directly told Zhou Siyue that she liked him, but Zhou Siyue didn’t want to be in a relationship and told her to go back to class since they both had their own lives. However, Ding Xian didn’t give up and gave Zhou Siyue a robot, which held her secret. Zhou Siyue brought the robot toy back to the dorm, where he found a website address inside. He opened the site on his computer, triggering memories from August 2009.

That year, Ding Xian’s parents moved the family to live in Shenhai City. The top priority after moving was dealing with work and the children’s schooling. With the help of Uncle Zhou, a friend of her father’s, Ding Xian and her younger brother Ding Juncong were able to attend an excellent school, and their father also landed a good job. Her parents brought them to visit the Zhou family to express their thanks. There, they met Zhou Siyue.

During dinner, Ding Xian’s mother brought up that their elders had once arranged a betrothal between Ding Xian and Zhou Siyue, making things awkward. Unexpectedly, Zhou Siyue casually said the engagement could be canceled, which made the atmosphere even more uncomfortable. Zhou Siyue’s father quickly smoothed things over, saying it was all just a joke and told Zhou Siyue not to take it seriously. But Ding Xian clearly wasn’t happy—she didn’t even like Zhou Siyue.

After returning home, Ding Xian’s mother scolded her for not knowing how to socialize, saying she should have tried to get closer to Zhou Siyue. Ding Xian was too much like her father—always bad at networking. When Ding Xian and her brother Ding Juncong fought over rooms, she bumped her forehead and went to the pharmacy for medicine, where she ran into Zhou Siyue. Because she didn’t have enough money, Zhou Siyue paid for her.

He then invited her to get snacks at a street stall. At first, Ding Xian was happy, but Zhou Siyue jokingly said the bump on her forehead looked like horns, which annoyed her, and she stormed off. At home, she was still angry and hoped not to see that jinx Zhou Siyue when school started. The next day, Ding Xian’s father Ding Wencheng had to rush to work and didn’t have time to take her to school.

She couldn’t find her school ID and nearly arrived late. When she got to school, the student assembly had already started, and a teacher from the academic office told her to stand at the back for being late. Coincidentally, Zhou Siyue was also late, and both of them were punished. Moreover, they were assigned to sit together, which made Ding Xian quite upset—what she feared most had happened. Ding Wencheng also worked at Ding Xian’s school.

On his first day, he wanted to introduce himself to the students but was met with indifference. They just wanted him to get to the lesson and skip the introductions, leaving him a bit embarrassed. In contrast, those same students were very respectful to their former teacher. Ding Xian thought she and Zhou Siyue were just temporary desk mates, but the teacher said they wouldn’t reshuffle seats for another month. This made Ding Xian quite miserable.

After class, her father invited her to dinner, but Ding Xian ran off, afraid of being laughed at by classmates. While eating, Su Baicong came to invite Ding Xian to eat with him. They had known each other since childhood and were both excellent students in their senior year, so their interaction drew much attention. A girl who liked Zhou Siyue became jealous of Ding Xian for sitting with him and deliberately tried to embarrass her.

In class, the teacher asked Ding Xian a math question she hadn’t learned before, leaving her flustered. Zhou Siyue easily solved it, which surprised Ding Xian. After class, Zhou Siyue explained the problem to her, but Ding Xian was a bit impatient—she didn’t like the feeling of always being overshadowed by him.
