Synopsis

The serial continues from the events in the movie, with a time lapse in between. Similar to the movie, Jerry Yeo introduces the characters and the situation. Chengcai and Tom are now in Secondary 4. Mr Yeo has been stationed in Shanghai

for two years while Mrs Yeo has since quit her full time job and took up part-time work as a freelance reporter so she can spend more time with her familiy.

After Chengcai's father passed away, he returns to school determined to study hard so as to not let his father down. He decides to rent his flat out to earn some extra money. Tom invites him to stay at his house. Knowing his mother will disapprove due to Chengcai's past, he and younger brother Jerry get Tom's friends to help and they devise a creative and elaborate plan to get their mother to agree. Mrs Yeo eventually welcomes Chengcai into their family after he rescues them from a robber.

In school, Tom and Chengcai are popular students and are often chased by their female schoolmates. Eventually they realise that they both have a crush on classmate Jing Jing at the same time and their friendship is put to the test. Meanwhile, their English teacher Miss Tan falls for PE teacher Mr Hao, who seeks help from Mr Fu and Chengcai in dealing with his shyness.

Chengcai’s guardian Lady Boss often visits the Yeo family. She feeds Granny with speculations of how Mrs Yeo and Mr Fu may be having an affair. A small upheaval takes place which is thankfully resolved with the help from the children.

Differences with movie

Ashley Leong does not return as Jerry Yeo and was replaced by Li Jiaxun but the character retains his role as comic relief in the plot. While the original movie focused more on Tom and Chengcai's relationship with their families, the serial focuses on some of the other everyday idiosyncrasies of a teenager's life such as crushes, addiction to mobile phones, sibling rivalry and friendship. The boys have matured since the events in the movie and have a better relationship with their teachers, especially Mr Fu.
