Drunken Green Jujube

Mutual pining | Childhood sweethearts | Reunited after years apart | Ensemble cast | A touch of silliness A fiery, hopeless student and a silly girl x her gentle childhood friend, who turns into a scheming flirt just to keep his feelings bottled up What’s it like when your childhood friend, missing for years, suddenly shows up again? Su Jian wouldn’t know. She didn’t even recognize him. The first time they met. Su Jian: This guy is so handsome. How come I’ve never seen him before? Song Xuyao: My wife doesn’t recognize me. The second time they met. Su Jian: My hero! He even stood up for me in front of everyone! Song Xuyao: My wife is being so polite to me, sob! The third time they met. Su Jian: “Wait.” “Could you be my childhood friend who went missing years ago?” Song Xuyao: “...” Great. His wife finally remembered him. ⸻ After finally getting close to Su Jian again, Song Xuyao decided to confess. “Su Jian, actually, I, ” Before he could finish, Su Jian’s grandfather clamped a hand over his mouth. Then came a warning: no confessions for the next three years of high school. Song Xuyao: “...” No problem. He wasn’t allowed to confess, but nobody said he couldn’t pursue her. He decided to become a flirt even greener than Longjing tea. There is a lush jujube tree in the courtyard, planted together by you and me in childhood. Now it has seen its tenth spring. A few notes before reading: 1. Mutual pining in the beginning, childish bickering in the middle, and lots of sweetness in the end. 2. The male lead embraces his scheming-flirt side midway through. 3. There is a second male lead, a love triangle, and friendship. This is a fairly long story. Theme: I will no longer be trapped by the hostile gaze of others.
