The stories of Qiao Lin, an eccentric and awkward person; Xu Jie, cheerful and impatient; Zheng Rui, a wisecracking slacker; Jia Shan, kind and adorable; and everyone else.
Excerpt:
- Xu Jie curled her lip. "What a drama queen. With reading like that, how did Old Li pick him? You'd do a better job. You could recite a nursery rhyme better than him."
- She leaned against the men's restroom doorway and called out twice, "Anyone in there?" There was no reply. "Then I'm coming in?" Still no answer. Xu Jie went inside, and sure enough, there was no one there. She knocked on each closed stall door, pushing one open and calling out, "Dun'er?"
She reached the last stall and couldn't push the door open. It seemed to be locked from the inside. "Dun'er?"
Suddenly, she heard someone sniffle from within. Qiao Lin really was in there!
- Let the wise keep their comments to themselves. Too bad there are so many idiots.
Theme:
The writing is sophisticated, and the narrative is awesome.
