On the bus, a young man with long, messy hair was harassing a girl. The girl couldn’t stand it and tried to run away. The man with long hair chased after her, but he was stopped by Su Chengcheng. Seeing that Su Chengcheng was just a girl, the man didn’t think much of it. However, to his surprise, Su Chengcheng threw him with a shoulder throw, causing him to fall.

When he got up, the man looked at Su Chengcheng's face and was horrified, as it kept changing. He got so scared that he peed his pants, but the other passengers on the bus didn’t see any of the changes on Su Chengcheng’s face. The bustling city, the busy crowds, and the constant flow of cars. . . Time rewinds to three months ago. Tang Qi and his good friend Gu Yu were playing tennis.

While playing, a flash of light from someone talking on the phone reflected into Tang Qi’s eyes, causing him to lose the game. During their break, Tang Qi looked at his friend’s WeChat Moments and noticed many people using makeup and other techniques to enhance their appearance, leading him to analyze the future of the beauty industry. Su Chengcheng went to a job interview at Fandai, where she met two other interviewees in the elevator.

However, the two didn’t seem very friendly and ignored her. During the interview, the interviewer saw Su Chengcheng’s photo and was shocked at how much it differed from her real appearance. Without asking anything, the interviewer immediately rejected her. Su Chengcheng, feeling humiliated because they had rejected her based on her looks, scolded the interviewer and left. Afterward, not having succeeded in the interview, Su Chengcheng sat on a park bench alone, drinking to drown her sorrows.

During this time, her best friend called. After hearing that Su Chengcheng didn’t get the job, the best friend worried that it was because the photo she had edited was too heavily altered. She asked Su Chengcheng, but to avoid making her friend upset, Su Chengcheng took the blame on herself. After hanging up, Su Chengcheng noticed a boy sitting next to her on the bench.

He had a job reward in his bag, and she thought he was another person feeling down about looking for a job. She offered him a can of beer and complained about her frustrations. Just then, her phone received an invitation to a school alumni event. Looking at the invitation, Su Chengcheng remembered a boy she had secretly liked in high school. She began daydreaming, but her thoughts were interrupted when the janitor came over.

It turned out that the boy had already left, leaving behind a book and a gift box. Su Chengcheng took the book and gift box home. When her parents saw the items, they assumed a boy had given them to their daughter. At home, Su Chengcheng asked her sister Su Qingli what she thought about attending the high school alumni event, but Su Qingli wasn’t particularly interested.

Su Qingli wanted to swap rooms with Su Chengcheng, and with no other option, Su Chengcheng moved into her sister’s room. There, she discovered that the air conditioner in Su Qingli’s room was broken. She tried to switch rooms again, but Su Qingli had locked the door. Back in her own room, Su Chengcheng watched a high school video, reminiscing about the good times.

Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door, and her mother came in, thinking Su Qingli was inside. While tucking Su Qingli in, her mother mentioned that Su Qingli should introduce a boyfriend to Su Chengcheng. Tang Qi was conducting experiments in the lab when Gu Yu came in and asked if he was attending the alumni event.

Tang Qi wasn’t initially interested, but when Gu Yu asked if there was anyone he cared about from his school days, Tang Qi couldn’t help but recall Su Chengcheng from high school. Su Chengcheng’s best friend urged her to shine at the alumni event and took her shopping for new clothes. Initially, the friend wanted Su Chengcheng to wear a skirt, but Su Chengcheng wasn’t used to it and chose a pair of skirt-pants instead. The alumni event officially began.

Su Chengcheng and her best friend arrived at the hotel, where they saw a boy carrying beer. Su Chengcheng went over to help him, surprising him with her strength. At the alumni event, Tang Qi became the center of attention. When Su Chengcheng saw him, she felt shy. During conversations, everyone talked about their career achievements, but Tang Qi wasn’t interested and lied, saying he only worked for a small company.

Su Chengcheng was recognized by one of her sister’s classmates. To avoid drawing attention, she lied and said she worked at Fandai. However, it turned out that the boyfriend of one of her classmates worked at Fandai, so Su Chengcheng couldn’t keep up the lie and had to tell the truth. She felt embarrassed in front of her crush.

During the event, Su Chengcheng performed a beer trick, but when it was her turn to serve Tang Qi, the beer sprayed onto his face, ruining her makeup. Tang Qi suggested taking a photo of her, but Su Chengcheng felt too embarrassed and left, thinking she looked awful. On her way back, she saw an old woman selling flowers. Su Chengcheng bought all the flowers and paid a very high price. The old woman gave her a delicate bracelet in return.
