THE STORY : Beginning in 1994, Shen Chia-yi is popular among teachers and her classmates as an outstanding student and a girl to date. Only mischievous Ko Ching-teng claims that he has no interest in her, despite being her classmate since junior high school. One day, the class teacher moves where Ching-teng sits, placing him in front of Chia-yi because of his crass and juvenile act of public masturbation in the back row during class. In an English class, Chia-yi forgets to bring her textbook. Pitying her, Ching-teng slips her his book and confesses to the teacher that he did not bring his own textbook. Ching-Teng then endures a long lecture and is punished. Chia-yi, moved by Ching-teng's behavior, prepares a practice paper for him in return to encourage him to work hard in his studies. She also convinces him to stay after school to study with her. From then on, their relationship grows and Ching-teng's grades are improved gradually. However, they had not even once kissed or held hands. Upon graduation, Ching-teng enrolls at the National Chiao Tung University. However, Chia-Yi does not do well during examinations and enters the National Taipei University of Education as a result of her so-so tests results. Chia-yi, depressed by the results of her exam, is consoled by Ching-teng. Chia-yi also receives long-distance phone calls from Ching-teng almost every night at university. During the winter holiday season that year, the two of them go for their first unofficial date. Ching-teng believes that men should show their "strength" to women, so he decides to organize a fight night and invites Chia-yi to watch. However, Chia-yi thinks Ching-teng is childish to hold a duel and risk injuring himself, which upsets him and causes a quarrel between them. After their break-up, Ah-he dates Chia-yi for a short time. But they break up five months later. In the two years after their break-up, Ching-teng does not have any contact with Chia-yi. In the meantime he qualifies for a research course at Tunghai University upon graduation, where he starts to write stories online. Ching-teng managed to regain contact with Chia-yi after the massive 921 earthquake, in which 5,000 people died, when he calls her to find out if she was injured. Years later, in 2004, Chia-yi calls Ching-teng to tell him that she is getting married. All of her old friends gather at the wedding, making jokes trying to embarrass the somewhat older groom. Nevertheless, they are finally surprised that their past emotions have transformed into a profound friendship and ever calmness in their hearts. Ching-teng begins to work on a web novel about his experiences with Chia-yi that includes scenes of public masturbation, Japanese Adult Video jokes and walking naked around his home in front of his mother.
