1. During a swimming competition against another school, Ning Tao falls in love at first sight with Jian Suiyang, the other school's star swimmer, and the beautiful way his shoulder blades move as he swims.
To learn what he likes, she decides to start with Jian Suiyang's good friend, Lin Yanfeng.
2. Jian Suiyang badly injures his shoulder before the school swimming competition.
With no other choice, the coach has his good friend Lin Yanfeng take his place.
3. With a friend's help, Ning Tao successfully adds Lin Yanfeng on WeChat.
Ning Tao doesn't forget her original purpose: to ask Lin Yanfeng about his good friend, Jian Suiyang, the star swimmer on the school team, and find out what he likes.
Know your opponent and yourself, and your confession is bound to succeed!
To make sure she won't get rejected, while also avoiding being too obvious, Ning Tao chats with Lin Yanfeng almost every night without fail, subtly... fishing for information about Jian Suiyang.
Lin Yanfeng: ...Why does she message me every day? Does she like me?
Lin Yanfeng types: [I just woke up... Yeah, Jian Suiyang sleeps in the bunk below mine. He just woke up too...]
[I like blueberry ice cream... You mean what flavors everyone in our dorm likes? Oh, Jian Suiyang likes blueberry too...?]
4. It takes the usually clever Lin Yanfeng a whole month to finally realize the truth:
The girl who messages him every day is using him to get information about his good friend.
So, with an emotion he himself can't quite make sense of, Lin Yanfeng deliberately answers her questions about all of Jian Suiyang's preferences with his own preferences instead.
[What kind of girl does Jian Suiyang like? Oh, he likes girls with fair skin, pretty faces, and great figures.]
[Does he like cute girls? Oh. He hates them most of all.]
[Is Jian Suiyang easygoing? He's got the worst temper in our dorm. Best not make him angry if you can help it. He's so petty and narrow-minded!]
Jian Suiyang, right beside him: "...?"
#Petty, narrow-minded male lead Lin Yanfeng X pretty, goofy, cute-sunshine-girl heroine#
Neither lead has particularly high moral standards. The dynamic is one who loves to dish it out and one who loves to take it. (The male lead takes the hits.)
The heroine is never put through angst.

Blurb
Xiao Yuwei and Shen Yuyan grew up together as childhood sweethearts.
When they were ten, Shen Yuyan moved to City A, a thousand miles away.
After that, he called Xiao Yuwei every night, and they promised to attend the same university.
At fifteen, Shen Yuyan lost her number, and they lost touch.
At eighteen, a family crisis caused Xiao Yuwei, an excellent student, to fail her college entrance exams.
Shen Yuyan, meanwhile, went from success to success.
After graduating at twenty-two, Xiao Yuwei got a job selling cars for an auto company.
Shen Yuyan was already a Silicon Valley star, pursuing his master's and doctorate degrees one after another.
By chance, they meet again and get back in touch.
One night, Xiao Yuwei gets drunk and calls Shen Yuyan to ask him for a favor.
She vaguely remembers how incoherent she was, and how the alcohol gave her the courage to speak.
But there is only silence on the other end of the call.
Only later does Xiao Yuwei find out
that her call had been muted.
"...I hope you have a bright future."
After hanging up, Xiao Yuwei makes herself block Shen Yuyan on every platform.
--
Five years later, at a banquet on Shanghai's Bund.
Twenty-seven-year-old Xiao Yuwei is now a well-known qipao model. The spotlight falls on her, every movement graceful and composed, even her hair seemingly glowing.
When they meet again, Xiao Yuwei is calm and unmoved.
"Hello, Mr. Shen. It's been a long time."
She extends her hand with poise, looking at him with the composure she would show a stranger.
The man before her, now worth over a hundred million, suddenly tightens his fingers around his wineglass. The eyes that are usually so cool and rational lose focus for a moment.
-
May you be safe and well, and may your future be bright.
Childhood sweethearts reunite after years apart. They have both been secretly in love, and each is the other's first love.
Both leads have no prior sexual experience and are faithful to each other.
