The day that Zheng Tai entered into the Crane Wood Furniture Factory, it
was April. It is the season where the cherry blossoms would be floating
and dancing around in the air. On this day, the weather is sunny and
cloudless. He raises his head to look up at the sun in the sky, silently
setting an aspiration. He must strive for a bright future here, in this
big city. Even though that is what is said, but at that time, he really
didn't have too big of a confidence. Of course, he also never thought that
within Crane Wood Furniture's single dormitory, he is about to come across
a gang of people. A gang that will change his life, influence him,
encourage him, and also companions that will move forward with him hand in
hand together.
With a nervous frame of mind, Zheng Tai enters into
Crane Wood Furniture's singles dormitory under the accompaniment of the
residence's supervisor. In his careless state, a pair of small dolls fell
out of his bag. The dolls are one boy and one girl, both of whom is
sharing the same piece of clothing. Zheng Tai suddenly gets thrown into
his memories and within his memories, the girlfriend from his hometown,
You Mei, appears!
At the train station, Zheng Tai is just getting ready
to leave his hometown and go to the big city to build his career. You Mei
contains her tears to send him off and puts the pair of dolls into his
hands…
The scene returns back to the single dormitory, Zheng
Tai places the connected dolls in a place where he would be able to see it
all the time. And then, his two roommates show up… They are James, a young
playboy, Tian Wei, an obstinate and funny guy. These two guys are partners
that Zheng Tai would have to live along with. Oh, not only live with but
have to sleep in the same room day and night and also work in the same
factory with. And then after work, they are good friends that he hangs out
with.
James's hobby is to catch girls. Tian Wei's hobby is
that of a peeping tom. The first evening that Zheng Tai moved into the
single dormitory, on top of the roof, he mistakenly joins in during the
peeping tom procession. He accidentally sees, in the girls' dormitory next
door, a sexy girl who is in the process of changing clothes. She, who has
an exquisite and lean body, just happens to turn her head around and see
Zheng Tai. Their four eyes connected and each sees the other. Zheng Tai's
face turns red and this girl just "brushes" the curtains and draws it
close… This girl is Ruo Xue and she works in the Personnel Department.
This is Zheng Tai and Ruo Xue's first contact with each
other. He never thought that this girl, who is called Ruo Xue, would
actually start appearing in his dreams day and night… On one side, he is
having illusions of Ruo Xue and on the other, he is missing the hometown's
You Mei. And Zheng Tai has to strive hard to achieve his own dreams. He
has many problems but his two roommates are not any better than his is.
Handsome James gets acquainted with ugly Li Zi in a
certain mistaken one night stand. Li Zi's enthusiasm is like fire and she
has an attractive force that is fatal. Under her bitter entanglement,
James's outlook on life gradually changes. He never thought that living as
the playboy that he is, in the end, he would unexpectedly be stuck with
this rich, ugly girl. As for Tian Wei, who has never willing lowered his
head in front of others, on the surface, he seems to be a pervert, but
actually he has a fragile, pure heart. He, who has never made it to the
head of the class, doesn't know that there is a female colleague in the
factory called Cui Ping who has always silently cared for him, supported
him. Until the day of his 30th birthday, the Christmas Day that he has
been forced to move out of the dormitory, he finally faces Cui Ping calmly
and distinctly sees himself.
Life is a course in growing up. Within this single
dormitory, friendships, love, family relationships, dreams, disputes,
jealousies, a succession of checkpoints in life is all waiting for Zheng
Tai and the gang to welcome and solve. This is how the story begins…
