The Whole Grade Knows We Can’t Stand Each Other

Shen Ci and Lu Ran have been “natural enemies” since they were toddlers, when they fought over toys in diapers. They competed over cake in kindergarten, memorization in elementary school, and athletic skills in middle school. They kept bickering all the way to university, where they even ended up in the same city. Everyone else laughs and calls them archrivals, never realizing that Lu Ran quietly takes care of Shen Ci’s problems, while Shen Ci always slips medicine to Lu Ran whenever he falls ill. They say, “You annoy me just by being here,” but when they’re attacked in an alley, Lu Ran instinctively shields Shen Ci; when Lu Ran gets drunk, Shen Ci’s fingertips tremble as he wipes his face. Hidden in this rivalry of more than a decade is a care neither of them has noticed. Only when their constant opposition turns into instinctive protection do they realize that they fell for each other somewhere along the way.
