My Neighbour Can't Sleep

18-year-old Song Miduo, having just graduated and taken the college entrance exams, travels to Qiuyin Town with her parents for vacation. Her childhood friend, Lu Yiyou, invites her to stay at a villa he prepared for them, as he's from the town. Qiuyin Town is home to Sitian Music College, where Xi Song, a famous young pianist and lecturer, is well-known.

After a drunken night, Song Mi Duo wakes up at Xi Song’s house, with signs of her having climbed his balcony to get in. Xi Song, clearly annoyed, threatens her with legal action, warning her not to return to his house. Mi Duo, however, runs into Xi Song again at school, where she realizes he is the same "strange neighbor" she encountered earlier.

Song Mi Duo finds herself in a financial bind when Xi Song accuses her of breaking a valuable handmade crystal cup worth 50,000 yuan. When she can’t pay, he demands that she either agree to sleep with him or repay the money within two days. Mi Duo refuses to accept his proposition and promises to find a way to raise the funds.

After a torturous day of being tormented by Xi Song, Song Mi Duo was starving. She rushed to a roadside pancake stall, hoping to get something to eat before heading home. But afraid the vendor might recognize them, she grabbed two pancakes and ran, with the vendor chasing after them. During their mad dash, Xi Song lost the pancakes and was left hungry.

Song Mi Duo’s notebook was taken by Xi Song, and Liang Ge, Xi Song’s agent, thought Mi Duo was a fan who’d been making a scene to grab his attention. At home, Mi Duo, along with her mother and Xiao Mi, attempted to bake, but her culinary efforts were disastrous compared to Xiao Mi’s impressive skills.

Mi Duo has been acting strangely lately, with a poor appetite and staying home instead of going out to play. Her parents are worried, suspecting that she might be heartbroken. Mi Duo’s father asks Lu Yiyou to help cheer her up, and he does so in a very unconventional way—by dressing up in a doll costume.

Song Mi Duo was informed by Xi Song’s father that Su Li would soon be returning to China. Although she expected some reaction from Xi Song, he simply told her to go to bed and retreated to his bedroom. Mi Duo, wanting to deepen her relationship with him, initiated a conversation about the villa and Aunt Gu, who turned out to be the one responsible for Xi Song’s daily care.

On her last night staying at Xi Song's house, Song Mi Duo was unexpectedly confronted by Aunt Gu, who angrily accused her of disrespecting herself by living with a man. Mi Duo tried to deflect by claiming she was Xi Song’s distant relative and that his mother had sent her, but Aunt Gu didn’t believe her, scolding Mi Duo as morally corrupt.
