[Childhood sweethearts × light comedy × devoted to each other]

[Funny by nature, lively childhood sweetheart × sharp-tongued childhood friend who secretly cares and always takes her side]

[Everyday bickering between childhood sweethearts × the ultimate case of saying one thing and meaning another]

An Ruotong has a childhood friend, and he’s a strange one: sometimes aloof, sometimes sharp-tongued, sometimes gentle...

When she was five, An Ruotong stuffed a frog into Ji Yanqin’s schoolbag. He coolly pulled it out and threw it away, so from then on, An Ruotong unilaterally declared Ji Yanqin the greatest “enemy” of her life.

When she was ten, she failed math and gave Ji Yanqin a month’s allowance as hush money. He turned around and sold her out.

When she was eighteen, she threw up all over him at a class reunion.

Though he complains that she’s noisy, he’s kept all her ugly childhood photos.

After they get together, An Ruotong watches Ji Yanqin, all coy and affected, leaning in her arms. Is this right? This can’t be right. Where did her cold, sharp-tongued childhood friend go?
