The Cool, Fragile Childhood Friend Takes Off Her Hearing Aids and Pretends to Be Dead

【Two Female Leads + One-on-One Romance + Both Pure + School Days and Childhood Sweethearts + Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger】 Pei Yingyue thinks her childhood friend Ning Ting is a crybaby who can’t live without her. She can’t ignore Ning Ting or date anyone, because Ning Ting will cry. She thinks she’s the older sister in control of everything, until she discovers that Ning Ting has been pretending to be deaf after taking off her hearing aids, all for her sake. To everyone else, Ning Ting is cool and gentle, but around her, she only clings to Pei Yingyue, acting coy and playing weak. She’s spent over a decade playing the obedient little sister, all to keep Pei Yingyue firmly by her side. It’s only when the truth about their former online romance comes to light that Pei Yingyue discovers the scheming side beneath Ning Ting’s good-girl act. Ning Ting is used to playing the pig to eat the tiger, and even when Pei Yingyue sees through her, she doesn’t let up. When they’re apart, she stands under freezing winter water for half an hour, making herself sick so Pei Yingyue will feel sorry for her. When Pei Yingyue rushes over, Ning Ting drops her sickly, weak act and pins her against the door. “You don’t like it when I act weak anymore? I can work on that. But Yingyue, you can’t get away now.” Pei Yingyue doesn’t run. From the moment she came over, she’d already accepted it: Ning Ting has her completely wrapped around her finger.
