The Crocodile's Diary

-

Ten years after graduation, their long-quiet high school group chat comes alive with plans for a reunion.

In the dim, swaying lights of a karaoke room, someone dredges up an old story: back in school, the "balding" homeroom teacher had appointed the Chinese class representative to supervise everyone’s recitation, but Meng Zhi made an exception for Zhou Shiyue.

Everyone’s curious, appraising gazes shift between the two main characters.

Zhou Shiyue instinctively looks toward Meng Zhi, seated diagonally across the sofa.

The woman parts her red lips, her voice perfectly calm. "Maybe I got too little sleep in high school and my hormones went out of whack."

-

Meng Zhi’s life is busy. She has no time to keep looking back.

As far as she’s concerned, the reunion is hardly worth bringing up over lunch.

That is, until she finishes an emergency night surgery and finds a patient with handsome, refined features waiting in the consultation room.

Zhou Shiyue, who had treated her coldly throughout all three years of high school, asks her if she wants to get married.

-

I still admire you, but I no longer want to walk beside you.

-

Zhou Shiyue has always been calm and meticulous. He hates anything driven by emotion and believes every problem in the world has a logical solution.

Until, at a graduation reunion, he looks into a pair of clear eyes.

-

After they marry, Meng Zhi protests Zhou Shiyue’s habit of going back on his word.

"Zhou Shiyue, get out. This is my room."

"Is it?" The man doesn't so much as change his expression. "I don't remember the prenup saying we couldn't share a room."
