Lu Jin of Class 7, Grade 11, at Minghui High School can't stand Pei Zhenyan of Class 8, Grade 11. Their classes are just as hostile, constantly at each other's throats. According to those in the know, these sworn enemies used to be the closest of brothers. They even lived across the street from each other, but fell out over a pretty girl.

The onlookers eagerly place their bets on which of the two, Lu or Pei, will get the beauty. Little do they know, there is actually a third way for the three of them to pair up. #What, did you guys not learn permutations and combinations in math class?# 2. Halfway through a heated basketball game, Pei Zhenyan and Lu Jin collide face-first while fighting for the ball. The next morning, Lu Jin gets up and looks in the mirror. Seeing the bruise on his nose and the scab at the corner of his mouth, he gets so annoyed that he kicks over the trash can. Someone knocks. Pei Zhenyan, with a bruised nose and split lip just like his, says, "I'm pregnant. You have to take responsibility." This isn't the first time they've had a conversation like this. The last time was when they were five, and the two of them even picked out a name for the baby. Seventeen-year-old Lu Jin: "Pei Zhenyan, what the hell are you talking about..." Before he can finish, a cat is shoved into his arms. Pei Zhenyan: "I took it in to get neutered and found out it was pregnant. Your cat did it."

Can't Escape the Fifteenth [Entertainment Industry] At seventeen, Xu Tinglang and Zhong Er appeared together in a movie. They were only a supporting couple, but unexpectedly became a sensation. Afterward, Xu Tinglang became a top-tier star in both film and television, his position unshakable. Meanwhile, Zhong Er was rebellious and willful, sparking fan wars wherever she went. Her many rumored relationships were the most controversial of all. Though Xu Tinglang and Zhong Er had seemed perfectly matched, they never had a romance back then, and their paths never crossed again afterward. When a movie announced that the two would star together again, the whole internet erupted. The "Sea Queen, Stay Away from Handsome Men" camp and the "Please Get Married Right Here" camp clashed online. Zhong Er, delighted to watch the drama unfold, seemed to address Xu Tinglang with a pointed remark: "You can dodge the first day of the lunar month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth." Halfway through filming, the media subtly asked how their relationship was progressing. Xu Tinglang denied it three times: "We're just colleagues." "We're not close." "Let's focus on the work." The two stars themselves were at odds: one personally urged everyone to ship them, while the other personally came out to break up the ship. Shippers: Damn, what an emotional roller coaster. On the wrap party night, shocking news spread from the set: the leads had added a kissing scene without permission. Reliable sources also claimed that Xu Tinglang had made the first move. That day, Xu Tinglang specially opened a personal Weibo account and posted two updates in a row: "Fifteen." "Actually, I couldn't even dodge the first day back then." #I can eat my words, but I won't let my wife lose face# - Zhong Er once thought that Xu Tinglang had never truly loved her. Unrequited love had turned her into a lithromantic, and she'd spent years unable to forget him. She thought of him from time to time, hated him from time to time, and somehow a great many years slipped by. Xu Tinglang once thought Zhong Er was simply a playgirl, and that he was merely the one she loved most among all the people she fell for, the only one she never got the chance to dump. He was the youth of countless people, but his own youth belonged to Zhong Er, ever since she casually drank from his straw. My youth was a tumultuous age of bold defiance and muffled sobs, when I refused to bow to anyone. But with just one glance, you took all of it away. A lithromantic is someone who doesn't want their feelings reciprocated, because once they are, they stop liking the other person and may even start to dislike them. Theme: Study hard. When the young are strong, the nation is strong
