Gu Yanqing is the top student in the city, an Olympiad gold medalist, and already accepted to college ahead of schedule. Life is so boring that he spends every day wondering, “What should I eat tonight?” So he decides to take a walk and find something fun to do, heading for the other side of the city and seeing where he ends up.
Wei Zheng is the school bully at No. 7 High, someone his classmates are afraid to cross. But he has just been scolded into tears by his mom.
Gu Yanqing thinks he's out experiencing life. Wei Zheng thinks he's run into a lunatic. The lunatic ends up mooching a bowl of beef noodles off the school bully and even adds him on WeChat.
Later, Gu Yanqing says, “You bought me noodles, so I'll help you with your homework. Fair trade.” Wei Zheng says, “No need.” Gu Yanqing says, “You don't get a choice.”
One top student so bored he goes looking for fun, and one school bully so broke he has nothing but pride. Whoever falls first loses, right? No, they both lose, to a fifteen-yuan bowl of noodles and a single “Mm.”
“That cut at the corner of your mouth should be treated with iodine. Don't use alcohol.”
“Mm.”
It turns out the sweetest love confession in the world is just a period.
