Blurb 1
Mu Shuang is unemployed and staying at home when she accepts her family's arrangement to study at a hospital. There, she runs into Wen Zhi, who sat across the aisle from her in high school.
Mu Shuang just wants to quietly be a nobody, because she has a secret: she had a crush on Wen Zhi in high school. But after the college entrance exams, Wen Zhi got together with someone else.
A relationship that never got off the ground.
Mu Shuang wants nothing to do with the embarrassing history of her unrequited crush.
Then the very next day, Wen Zhi turns out to be her mentor.
Mu Shuang is terrified that Wen Zhi will make things difficult for her. After all, as soon as they graduated, she had “graduated” him from her life too.
But once they start spending time together, she discovers that Wen Zhi isn't petty at all. In fact, he takes very good care of her.
Knowing she likes to sleep in, he schedules her internship shifts for noon. Every so often, he even treats Mu Shuang to a meal. She returns the favor by occasionally rescuing him with a well-timed look whenever another woman shows interest in him. She can't just keep eating for free.
Then one day, Mu Shuang has a fight with her family and goes alone to a karaoke place to drink and sing. In her drunken haze, she sees Wen Zhi walk into the room. Feeling miserable, she uses the alcohol as an excuse to give him a piece of her mind too.
But Wen Zhi is fooled by her convincing act of drunkenness. He steadies her flailing limbs, brushes the disheveled hair from her face, and says very earnestly, “You like me, don't you? How about it?”
“...” Should I keep pretending to be drunk? Holy crap.

- Happy ending
(The misunderstanding is that the male lead never liked anyone else after graduation! This guy was already won over by our Shuangshuang in high school!)
