Zuo Qiandai mustered up her courage and decided to confess her feelings to Ye Qi. However, when she saw Ye Qi, the words she had prepared got stuck in her throat, and in the end, she didn’t confess that she liked him. She only admitted to being his fan, and just like that, her first confession came to an end. Ye Qi, being considerate, gave Zuo Qiandai a signed piece of paper.

Her first attempt at a confession unexpectedly turned into a fan encounter. Looking at the signed paper, Zuo Qiandai wanted to explain further, but Ye Qi suddenly invited her to come home with him, which left her pleasantly surprised. When she arrived at Ye Qi’s home, Zuo Qiandai found herself inexplicably in Ye Qi’s room. Watching him change clothes right in front of her left her stunned, and she even had the urge to flee.

But she was also worried that if she left, Ye Qi might bring another woman in—she couldn’t bear the thought of the man she loved being taken by someone else. Just as she was hesitating, Ye Qi had already finished changing and came out. As Zuo Qiandai stood there feeling helpless, Ye Qi asked her to help him sketch. It was then that Zuo Qiandai realized Ye Qi was actually a painter.

She had noticed the bruises on his wrist and around his eyes and thought he was a troubled youth—this was what had drawn her to him. However, after Ye Qi explained, she learned the bruise around his eye was from staying up late to draw, and the wrist injuries were from repetitive strain due to his drawing habit. Back home, Zuo Qiandai looked at Ye Qi’s autograph and discovered he was actually a very famous manga artist.

She often criticized his comics online, which now left her feeling awkward and at a loss. The next day, while riding the bus to school, her mind was filled with thoughts about how her relationship with Ye Qi might develop and how she should explain herself to him. At school, Zuo Qiandai kept secretly observing Ye Qi. Every time they met, she would immediately run away.

Ye Qi, having noticed Zuo Qiandai’s talent, thought she didn’t want to be his assistant, but still wanted to sincerely invite her. So he kept chasing after her, while Zuo Qiandai kept fleeing, thinking Ye Qi wanted to get someone to teach her a lesson and kept pleading to be let go. Ye Qi, on the other hand, believed she simply didn’t want to be his assistant and continued earnestly asking for her help. Eventually, the misunderstanding was cleared up.

Zuo Qiandai realized that Ye Qi wanted to invite her to be his assistant and had no idea about the things that happened online. Ye Qi and Zuo Qiandai rode a tandem bike together, trying to find inspiration along the way. During a break, Ye Qi took out his sketchbook and began drawing again. His passion for manga changed Zuo Qiandai’s opinion of him—she no longer criticized him for still hand-drawing comics in the modern age.

Once again, Zuo Qiandai tried to probe into Ye Qi’s private life. Since he always drew sweet romance comics, she assumed he must have dated many girls. But Ye Qi had never been in a relationship. Upon learning he was still single, Zuo Qiandai was delighted. Watching Ye Qi concentrate so intently on drawing, Zuo Qiandai wanted to confess her feelings again, but when it came time to say those three words, she still lacked the courage.

At that moment, Ye Qi once again took out his notebook and wrote her another signed note. Looking at the autograph, Zuo Qiandai gave an awkward smile. In the end, she agreed to become Ye Qi’s assistant.
