*Unrequited love becomes mutual / brother and sister / friends-with-benefits to official couple
On her seventeenth birthday, Zhou Er's love letter was posted on the school bulletin board.
That night, she wrote in her diary, wishing she would never like Jiang Fushi again.
Much later, one day, she returned to her new place after a date with someone else.
The man wore a coat, his nose bridge high as he leaned against the doorframe and looked down at her. His peach-blossom eyes curved in an unconcerned smile.
It seemed just like old times.
Years ago, wearing that same expression, he had given her an expensive camera just because she'd mentioned it in passing. And years later, wearing that same expression, he had cupped her face and softly told her to turn around and kiss him.
Zhou Er walked past him to open the door. She heard Jiang Fushi ask behind her,
"Do you really not like me anymore?"

Zhou Er once listed a hundred reasons she hated Jiang Fushi. Among them were: fake, cold-blooded, pretentious, self-righteous, and his eyes curved too much when he smiled.
She thought up all kinds of things, tearing apart the golden boy, who was warm and friendly in everyone's eyes, until there was nothing left of him.
But the thing Jiang Fushi hated most was simply that he didn't like her back.
