Synopsis

On a luxurious cruise ship, Zhu Ting organized a grand reunion for her college classmates who had graduated many years ago. Seeing each other again after so long brought about many emotions. At that moment, Zhu Ting tearfully expressed the special significance of this gathering. The former close friends spontaneously recalled the crazy years they had spent together.

Ten years ago, in college, a poignant youth story unfolded among Zhu Ting, "Hollow Boy" Jin Hui, "Four-eyed Spinach Girl" Zhou Hui, and "Feng San Tao" Feng Song. At the beginning of their university journey, Feng Song encouraged their classmates to write down the names of the girls they admired. They made a pact: "Within four years, we shall not infringe upon the girls we each like and promise not to pursue the girls liked by others." However, Feng Song, who liked Zhu Ting, found that she had fallen in love with the handsome school grass, Jin Hui. Meanwhile, Jin Hui had his eyes on the well-developed Zhou Hui. Thus, a youthful struggle between friendship and love was inevitable.
