Brigitte is Hsiao Yu (Little Rain) and Chin Han is Ta Fung (Big Wind).  They are the most popular students in their college and have their own student following.  Besides being good-looking and capable, they are also competitive and headstrong.  They clash a lot because they want to be no. 1 in the activities they take part in and are unwilling to give way.  If you have rain and wind, you will get stormy clashes.  Meanwhile, Ta Fung's older sister is wooed by Hsiao Yu's younger uncle.  In order to bring harmony to their relationship, the older couple gives a lot of advice to the younger couple on tolerance and harmony.  A turn of events occurred when both Hsiao Yu and Ta Fung were assigned to work together for preparations for an educational vacation camp.  Hsiao Yu twisted her ankle and Ta Fung carried her all the way back to camp.  Hsiao Yu, touched by the gesture, gave Ta Fung a dazzling smile and he was smittened.  They came to a conclusion that they like to bicker with each other and promise not to squabble when they return to school.  Unfortunately, when they went back to school, they have a reputation to keep and accused each other for the initiative in the camp.  This happened at the end of the college year and everyone will split up when they embarked on their careers.  Will Hsiao Yu and Ta Fung ever reconcile?  Click for the conclusion.
