She has to make through difficult circumstances, including wearing her old school uniform and worn out shoes as she was in her final year and getting along with Jiashi. While celebrating their arrival at the new neighbourhood, Xiaoju accidentally ends up exploding firecrackers on the butt of Lu Shiyi, who also turns out to be her playful and wayward classmate.
