All through the time before ninth grade began, Gu Cheng and Shen Qimeng were the front and back desk-mates who bickered every day, until the night before ninth grade started.
"Desk-mate."
"Yeah?"
"I like you."
When the message popped up on her screen, Shen Qimeng's hand slipped, and the little character she was controlling died on the spot. Resigned, she opened QQ and tapped into the chat:
"Did you lose a truth-or-dare game?"
During the summer after graduating high school, Shen Qimeng, tipsy, grinned foolishly at Gu Cheng.
"Hey, Gu Cheng, I have a relationship I'd like to try with you."
"You've had too much to drink."
At a middle school reunion one day, a year after they started working:
"Gu Cheng, didn't we tell you to bring your girlfriend?" an old classmate teased.
"She'll be here soon."
"You made your girlfriend come to the reunion by herself? You're something else..."
The door suddenly opened.
"Sorry I'm late."
Gu Cheng stood up and put his arm around Qimeng at the entrance.
"Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend."
