[A soft-spoken man x a cold-faced and vicious-tongued woman]
The whole school knew that Xia Sijie and Qiao Ruolin were mortal enemies.
One said, "He relies on brute force to play basketball", another said, "You rely on scratch paper to do homework"; one said, "She has no emotions", and the other said, "You failed the college entrance examination essay."
But no one knows——
Every Monday morning, there would be an extra pack of Xingxing spicy strips in the hole in her desk;
On rainy days, her umbrella always gets to him before she does;
On the day he had a fever, she skipped her competition class and went to his house to deliver antipyretic medicine.
From friends to deskmates, from deskmates to breakfast partners, from breakfast partners to "I seem to be beginning to remember the strength of her writing" - there was a midsummer in between, countless pieces of paper sandwiched in textbooks, and two strawberry candies secretly left on the corner of the table.
It took them thirty chapters to dare to think "What kind of relationship do we have?" And it took them more chapters to dare to say it.
"Happy Enemies" was performed for the whole school.
"I like you" is something I admit only when I can no longer act it out.
From tablemates to enemies, from enemies to the rest of my life.
——After smashing the top student's watch, she didn't let me pay any compensation. She said, "Wait for the day when you replace 'I didn't mean to' with 'I'm sorry.'" It took me twenty chapters to say it, but it took me a lifetime to live up to it.
