Shen Nian had been in love with her childhood friend Zhou Xu for years. She'd tried every trick in the book, dropping hints and making advances. Unfortunately, Zhou Xu was as dense as a log and couldn't take a hint.
She decided to practice on a target at hard difficulty instead.
As the only single person in the dorm, the dorm head worried herself sick about Shen Nian's love life.
The moment she learned that Shen Nian had a crush on the campus heartthrob, Jiang Yu, everyone in the dorm got fired up and started coming up with plans. Unfortunately, every attempt ended in failure before it even began.
Just as they were at their wits' end, an obscure piece of advice went viral online: [Legend has it that the first person you run into after making a wish at Yonghe Temple will be your destined other half.]
The dorm head rallied every contact she had and finally got the other members of Jiang Yu's dorm on board.
Jiang Yu would be dragged along to a dorm outing at Yonghe Temple to make a wish. All Shen Nian had to do was wait outside and bump into him, and their “destined meeting” would be set.
[Good news: Shen Nian managed to catch Jiang Yu.]
[Bad news: Yonghe Temple was too crowded, and Shen Nian bumped into someone else before she could reach Jiang Yu.]

Having been Shen Nian's classmate and neighbor for years, Zhou Xu knew her all too well.
When she liked someone, she never confessed outright. She only dropped hints. Thanks to her stunning looks, she'd never failed.
For her, the easier it was to get someone, the faster she got bored. During their three years of high school, he'd watched her end things with perfect cold indifference time and time again.
He pretended not to understand and withstood Shen Nian's repeated, obvious flirtations. He was sure that the more she couldn't have him, the more she'd love him.
Until one day, he realized Shen Nian had stopped flirting with him. She had a new target and was plotting to confess.
He panicked. Since when had she ever been this proactive?
Tips:
