At No. 7 Middle School, there was a saying so well-known even the principal had heard it countless times.
Everyone said, "A talented scholar belongs with a beauty, and Zhuo Fan belongs with Si Yao." But who didn't know that the top student in the grade, Zhuo Fan, liked good students, while Si Yao, at the very bottom, liked rich people?
They had nothing in common and weren't each other's type, so in three years, nobody had ever seen them at the same event, let alone heard them exchange a single word.

Later, Zhuo Fan lost a bet with a friend and had to treat Si Yao to a Western meal.
Stirring her coffee, Zhuo Fan said calmly, "Si Yao."
Si Yao lifted her chin slightly. "Top student, I know what you're going to say."
Zhuo Fan glanced at her. "What am I going to say?"
Si Yao curled her red lips. "You like me, right?"
Zhuo Fan stared at her smug expression and laughed in exasperation. "Right, so..."
"Want to give us a try?"

From a restaurant diner's diary:
"I treated you to Western food here in 2014,
and let you get carried away thinking I was pursuing you.
So I played along and teased you a little.
Today our son is two years old.
I'm treating you here again,
so you can get carried away once more.

Zhuo Fan"
