Freshman Ma Shanming is the undisputed king of giving up on everything. Every day, all he does is stay up all night gaming in his dorm. He has no ambitions whatsoever...
“Class is starting!” “Not going.”
“There’s a meeting!” “I’m busy.”
“We’re going out to eat!” “Not interested.”
The sound effects in his headphones drown out the cicadas outside the window, and the memories he doesn’t want to face.
No one knows when it started, but every day a breakfast would appear in front of him.
And no one knows when this rough-and-tumble guy added a contact labeled “Breakfast Girl” to his phone.
On the day they meet again, she presses the cup of unsweetened soy milk she has warmed three times into Ma Shanming’s hands. Her voice trembles as she asks, “Ma Shanming, can I be the one to pursue you this time?”
