Childhood-friends rivals-to-lovers couple: Their bond began at birth, and they're destined to stay tangled up in each other's lives forever.
Fang Xu: “Shen Xiaonian, behave yourself and call me Big Brother.”
Shen Nian'an: “You're only half an hour older than me. Why should I call you Big Brother?”
Fang Xu: “Half an hour still means I was born first. Call me Big Brother.”
Shen Nian'an: “No, no, no! Keep it up and I'll tell Big Brother Shen!”
…
Fang Xu: “Heh, can't compete with me, can you? Teacher Yu Xiaoyang agreed to take me as his disciple. Ask me nicely, and I'll put in a good word for you.”
Shen Nian'an: “Hmph!”
Shen Nian'an turned around and went straight to become Sang Yuan's disciple.
…
Fang Xu: “Hey! Shen Xiaonian, who's that? He's so ugly.”
Shen Nian'an: “None of your business. Hmph!”
Fang Xu: “Don't tell me he's your boyfriend. What's wrong with your taste…”
…
Shen Nian'an: “That's enough. This is already the third one. I don't need you meddling…”
Fang Xu: “You want to know why? Because I like you! Is that reason good enough?”
Shen Nian'an: “F-Fang Xu, I don't mind you messing things up anymore… just don't say things like that… Mm…”
Furious, Fang Xu kissed the mouth that had been saying such nonsense. When he pulled away, he asked, “Was I saying nonsense?”
…
Shen Nian'an: “Don't be like this. I'm really hurt. I'm really jealous.”
Fang Xu: “Yes, I love you, and I hate you! Why? Who's going to give me back the six years I missed? Shen Nian'an, say something!”
Shen Nian'an: “Fang Xu, I'll make it up to you. I'll spend the rest of my life doing it.”
…
Fang Xu: “Niannian… we'll be together forever.”
Shen Nian'an: “Yes, forever.”
