Episode 1 recap: Youngsters Like the Wind.
In 1999, Macau returned to China, the Chinese women's football team won the runner-up in the Women's World Cup, Sun Wen received the Golden Ball and Golden Boot awards, and the launch of the Shenzhou spacecraft, among many other significant events. However, for Bu Han Lu, the only important event of that year was the invasion of Earth by the T-star in the constellation of Cetus. Countless Earth teenagers piloted fighter jets and battled against them, and she and her sister were among them.
No one remembers the battle that protected the world, but the four comics left by her sister and the emblem of the Red Lotus Squad deeply engraved the images of this war in Bu Han Lu's mind. She believes that this was a real battle. After this battle, Bu Han Lu lost contact with her sister. Their only connection was through birthday messages sent by her sister via pager.
Bu Han Lu wanted to find her sister and become as skilled as her in all aspects. She gave up her spot at a prestigious high school and enrolled in No. 8 Middle School because it had the only astronomical telescope in the city, which could see the constellation of Cetus. For seven years, Bu Han Lu never relaxed her demands on herself. She always maintained the readiness status of the Red Lotus Squad's captain and engaged in intense training. She remembered her promise with her sister: to protect the world, become a fighter pilot once again, and reunite with her sister Bu Han Yu in the blue sky.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year in 2007, Bu Han Lu firmly believed that her sister, Bu Han Yu, who had passed away due to illness, had gone to the Cetus constellation in outer space. She had always been looking forward to reuniting with her sister. Bu Han Lu's best friends were Liu Yi Xian, the daughter of the grocery store owner known for her sharp tongue, and Fang Da Wu, the son of the headmaster and a soft and cute "milk puppy" who excelled in cooking. However, she couldn't feel the meaning of friendship in her heart and struggled to fit into their world.
Bu Han Lu felt that there was nobody in the world who could understand her and share her secrets, so she was always passively invited by her good friends to participate in activities. On the evening of the Chinese New Year, Liu Yi Xian and Fang Da Wu invited Bu Han Lu to the night market to watch fireworks. They coincidentally encountered Lin Qian Yu, also known as Li Xiaoyao, who was trying to win a prize at the ring toss game in the night market. He appeared fierce on the surface but was actually a cute and warm-hearted guy.
Lin Qian Yu wanted to win an old version of the glove worn by the legendary Guan Nan, which was hard to find on the market, as a gift for his sister. Unfortunately, he had been trying all night but couldn't win that glove. Lin Qian Yu's best friends were Meng Hui Yuan, an amazing dancer, the charismatic Liu Yang, and Chen Xiang. Together, they formed a group of four.
Lin Qian Yu tried many times to win gifts, and the boss, Ji Ge, was a little unhappy. However, he couldn't drive away Lin Qian Yu in front of the customers, so he let him continue playing the ring toss game. While Bu Han Lu was wandering around the night market with her friends, she accidentally got separated from them. At the same time, when Lin Qian Yu was playing the ring toss game, he accidentally threw the ring onto Bu Han Lu's hat.
Lin Qian Yu went to retrieve the ring and apologized to Bu Han Lu, but she was particularly uncomfortable with others touching her. Not only did Lin Qian Yu remove her hat, but he also put it back on, which made her unhappy. Lin Qian Yu wanted to apologize to Bu Han Lu with his own gift, and that's when Bu Han Lu realized that Lin Qian Yu was trying to win that glove.
The glove of Guan Nan was also what Bu Han Lu wanted because she wanted to match it with the glove her sister had. So she took one of Lin Qian Yu's rings as compensation. Bu Han Lu took the ring to try to win the glove, and coincidentally, Lin Qian Yu won that glove. As a result, they argued over the same glove, as neither Bu Han Lu nor Lin Qian Yu wanted to give it up. Ji Ge then produced another glove, so Lin Qian Yu asked Bu Han Lu to use the ring to win another one.
Bu Han Lu agreed to Lin Qian Yu's proposal and used another ring to win a glove. Ji Ge, realizing that both of them really wanted the glove, decided to extort them. Ji Ge accused Lin Qian Yu of not paying for his last round and demanded 300 yuan in exchange for the glove. Lin Qian Yu refused to comply, so Ji Ge resorted to intimidation, using his numbers to pressure Lin Qian Yu into paying. Faced with Ji Ge's threat, Lin Qian Yu's first instinct was to protect Bu Han Lu. To his surprise, Bu Han Lu was skilled in combat and quickly subdued Ji Ge, which made Ji Ge so angry that he pulled out a gun.
Lin Qian Yu held Bu Han Lu's hand and fled. After escaping Ji Ge, they went their separate ways and returned home. It was then that they discovered that their gloves were actually a pair, matching the one they each had at home. Although they couldn't wear the gloves as a pair, Bu Han Lu still held them close along with the precious items left behind by her sister and went to sleep.
Knowing that she couldn't be with Bu Han Lu forever, Bu Han Yu lied and claimed that she was held captive by invaders from the Cetus constellation. She said she was there to watch over the world and protect it from evil. Because of this, Bu Han Lu had a beautiful dream and lived in the world her sister had depicted, waiting for the day they would be reunited.
In the new year and new semester, as the freshmen moved to the new school building, Liu Yi Xian brought many gifts to distribute to all the students at school. She secretly gave Bu Han Lu a lot of delicious food. Xia Miao, a classmate who didn't like to be alone, privately mocked Liu Yi Xian, saying that she was kissing up to Bu Han Lu, a strange girl. However, Liu Yi Xian ignored her and continued to befriend Bu Han Lu.
The homeroom teacher of Class 11, Cheng Xiao Feng, informed the students that due to the unfinished construction of the new school building, there weren't enough classrooms, so they had to move to the vacant classrooms in the second-year building. Class 11 was supposed to move to the second-year building, but the second-year students were not easy to deal with, especially Gao Yang, the leader of the second-year resident bullying delegation.
Gao Yang and his group blocked the entrance and refused to let the freshmen enter the building. Fang Da Wu wanted to plead and make amends, but Gao Yang completely ignored him. Bu Han Lu, who didn't communicate with anyone, decided to go straight through. Gao Yang refused to move, so she threw chalk at him and accidentally broke the glass of the bulletin board.
Cheng Xiao Feng learned about Gao Yang blocking the way and didn't blame Bu Han Lu for her actions. Instead, he took the blame for breaking the glass. After school at noon, Lin Qian Yu's group went to their usual restaurant to eat but unexpectedly ran into Ji Ge. Lin Qian Yu used the excuse of not fighting in front of girls to ask Meng Hui Yuan to leave first.
After Meng Hui Yuan left, she immediately went back to school to gather people and confront Ji Ge. Bu Han Lu accidentally learned about Ji Ge causing trouble and wanting to retrieve the glove, so she decided to join them. Ji Ge, seeing that Lin Qian Yu had a larger group, didn't dare to confront him and left, but he didn't give Lin Qian Yu an explanation about the glove.
Bu Han Lu chased after Ji Ge and beat him up, only to find out that the glove was originally a pair and Ji Ge had separated them. Thinking that the glove couldn't be found, she suddenly remembered that Lin Qian Yu had one, so she thought of the idea to exchange gloves with him.
