The Starry River and the Moon

Lu Xinghe, who was one day older than Ji Yueliang, always did everything one step ahead of her.

When Lu Xinghe was little, he was very short. Ji Yueliang stood a head taller than him. Even by the time they started middle school, he still hadn't outgrown her. She used to tease him: “You insisted on being born before me, and now look at you. That's what you get for being so short. Hahaha!”

“How about you make me your big brother? I'll look after you.”

Before Lu Xinghe could make her his big brother, he began growing like crazy in the second half of eighth grade, as if he'd been taking hormones. In just six months, he was already a head taller than Ji Yueliang.

“Looks like you're the one who should make me your big brother now.”

“...”

In high school, the two of them were admitted to Ming City No. 1 High School with the top two scores.

As they entered adolescence, Ji Yueliang gradually began to feel something different for Lu Xinghe.

Then one day after school, she saw Lu Xinghe walking and chatting with a girl.

When she got home, she confronted him. “Do you like her?”

“What's it to you?” He snapped at her as usual.

“Don't you dare date anyone!”

Lu Xinghe stopped writing and looked at her. “What, you get to control who I date now?”

Tears suddenly slid from the corners of Ji Yueliang's eyes. She hurriedly wiped them away, embarrassed. Before leaving, she threw out one last threat: “I hate you. We're not friends anymore!”

Later, Lu Xinghe cornered Ji Yueliang against the wall, holding back some powerful emotion in his eyes.

“I never dated her. You're the one I like.”
