When they were five, Journey to the West was all the rage on CCTV-8. Thanks to her zodiac sign, Yu Wei got to be called Monkey Brother, while poor Zhou Mo, despite having the heart of a battle-hardened hero, was saddled with the name Chick. She bawled for two days, then went around the courtyard with big red eyes, tripping over her words as she complained. The adults took turns trying to comfort and cajole her, but Yu Wei still wouldn't give up her title of Monkey Brother. Monkey Brother and Chick. That's what they called each other until they were seventeen. On a summer night under a bright moon and sparse stars, Zhou Mo took a shower, then sat in the courtyard eating watermelon. Yu Wei came back from playing basketball, drenched in sweat, snatched her watermelon, and took a couple of bites. "Zhou Mo, this watermelon isn't sweet..." Zhou Mo didn't even look up. Her mind was full of her classmates' analysis from earlier that day. She'd lost her certainty, and asked hesitantly, "Why don't you call me Chick anymore?" "..." "Could it be..." She couldn't get the rest out, the words "you like a girl" stuck in her throat. Her young heart, unsure of its feelings, swung back and forth like a swing. "We're too old for that. Calling a girl 'Chick' sounds awful!" When they were twenty-six, Journey to the West was rerun on CCTV-8. Tan Qing was in the kitchen cooking for his new girlfriend. The three dishes and a soup looked and smelled delicious. When he called her to dinner, he found her in tears. "Silly girl, who cries while watching Journey to the West?" #Dual timelines, two male leads #Readers sensitive to any potential triggers, proceed with caution! Theme:
