[Print edition now available. Link on Weibo: @Cisha Xixuegui] 1 A Jiu got confessed to by an upperclassman. When she came back that evening, she ate an extra bowl of rice. Song Yue shot her a cool glance. "Are you that happy?" A Jiu cheerfully put two more pieces of meat into his bowl. Her eyes were full of laughter as she looked at him. "Mm-hmm, I'm so happy!" Because only today had she realized that she liked Song Yue. 2 The charm on Song Yue's backpack was a pink moon. The book covers he used were pink, and the hair tie around his wrist was pink, too. Later, he bought a new car. His friend asked, "What color is your new car?" Song Yue said, "Pink." His friend fell silent... This was seriously too much! 3 When A Jiu and Song Yue were put in different classes in middle school, Song Yue said, "No dating." When they were put in different classes in high school, Song Yue said again, "No dating." Later, A Jiu and Song Yue started dating. Uneasy, A Jiu asked, "Didn't you say we couldn't date?" Song Yue patted her head, looking nonchalant. "You can't date other people. I'm not someone else." "..." . They're both eighteen when they fall in love!
