Why Is My Childhood Friend Like That?

After the college entrance exams, Ning Yunzhi had three things to be unhappy about.

First, while everyone else got to enjoy the happiest summer vacation of their lives, he had to attend language classes to prepare for studying abroad.

At least his good friend and childhood pal, Nie Zhizhou, was going with him.

Second, his childhood pal Nie Zhizhou suddenly confessed his feelings for him.

But after Ning Yunzhi turned him down, Nie Zhizhou said they could still be friends like before.

Third, when Ning Yunzhi was going home alone, he realized someone was following him.

The stalker was everywhere. No matter which route Ning Yunzhi took, the man kept following him. He'd even gotten Ning Yunzhi's contact information and found out his exact home address.

The harassment sent Ning Yunzhi's stress through the roof. He couldn't eat or sleep properly, so he had no choice but to ask Nie Zhizhou for help.

After hearing what happened, Nie Zhizhou accompanied him home and dealt with the stalker.

The two naturally got together, graduated from their language classes without a hitch, and everything started looking up.

But before leaving the country, Ning Yunzhi saw the stalker's account on Nie Zhizhou's phone...
