Wen Xi and Shen Zikuo grew up together. They were childhood sweethearts, close and innocent.
She had secretly loved Shen Zikuo for years.
But at some point, her best friend started growing closer and closer to Shen Zikuo, taking her place and flaunting it in front of her.
Her friend repeatedly mocked her, but Shen Zikuo acted as if he didn't hear a thing.
Wen Xi couldn't get over it. As she hid in a grove and cried, Huai Huai, the new transfer student who sat beside her, handed her a tissue.
"Don't cry."

Wen Xi wasn't the kind of person to let others walk all over her. She had a fire burning inside her.
She noticed that her new deskmate was a hundred times better than Shen Zikuo.
He was handsome, excelled in school, was easygoing, seemed good at everything, and had countless admirers.
She readily struck a deal with Huai Huai: they'd pretend to be a couple. She'd fend off his admirers, and he'd help her get back at the people who'd wronged her.

Graduation came, and with their parting drawing near, Wen Xi felt miserable.
She forced a smile and said to Huai Huai, "In my heart, you're my best friend."
Huai Huai gave a casual smile and replied offhandedly, "Who wants that?"
Wen Xi froze. Just as she thought she'd misjudged someone again
Huai Huai suddenly leaned close, his dark eyes deep as he looked at her earnestly. His words were light, but his smile was teasing. "Why don't you keep being my girlfriend?"
