The little princess of the Chi family, Chi Xi, has had one lifelong nemesis since childhood.
They were evenly matched in family background and looks, and went to the same schools all the way through.
No matter what Chi Xi did, Tan Yixiao always managed to outshine her. It drove Chi Xi absolutely crazy.
What she found even harder to accept was that she had somehow fallen for Tan Yixiao, and fallen hard.
When she heard that Tan Yixiao liked someone else, Chi Xi was furious.
She was so worked up that she did something stupid: in broad daylight, she kissed Tan Yixiao and called her by the name of that damn senior.
Afterward, she fled overseas. By some strange twist of fate, she ended up studying Tan Yixiao's favorite subject.

Rumors ran wild that Tan Yixiao and Chi Xi had fought over a man, and that Tan Yixiao had won and ended up with the senior. Only Tan Yixiao knew what had really happened.
She hated Chi Xi liking someone else. She really hated it.
So she went abroad to play tennis, and stayed away for many years.
Years later, Chi Xi returned home, and tennis star Tan Yixiao also came back.
They both showed up at a class reunion, leaving everyone nervous and inexplicably excited.
Sure enough, the moment Miss Chi made her entrance, she stole the show. Her beautiful shoulder blades were on display in the middle of winter, blinding everyone.
Tan Yixiao had just come from a match, looking cool and alluring in a light-colored tracksuit.
The two of them didn't exchange a single word.
Tan Yixiao turned on the air conditioner, freezing Chi Xi so badly that she had to put on her coat.
No wonder they were nemeses. That was seriously cold-hearted...
Everyone soon gave up trying to get them together.
But at some point, Tan Yixiao and Miss Chi had apparently made up behind everyone's backs.
The only thing was, their dynamic seemed a little off.

A slice-of-life sitcom: "Best Friends" and "Like This"
Chi Xi: We're best friends now. Nobody knows yet, right?
Tan Yixiao: Yeah. I heard best friends can do this.
Chi Xi: Do what? ...You!
Chi Xi: ...Right, exactly. Best friends do this...
Tan Yixiao: What are you looking at? Don't you do this with your best friends? We're really close.
Chi Xi: Right, exactly. We can do this too. What, you didn't know that, Yixiao?
Classmates: Ah, right, right, right.
Friends: I'm scared. I'm kind of scared.
Netizens: Can someone explain? Are these two showing off their relationship?
Fans: Officially announcing my one-sided heartbreak.
Chi Xi and Tan Yixiao:
"Stop pretending. You're in love with me."

P.S. 1. There's little school life in this story. It mainly focuses on their reunion.
2. No fan culture plot, mainly romance.
3. Both female leads are awesome.
4. The senior is a convenient human prop for the two leads to get jealous over. There are very few men in this story.
Theme: Learn to express yourself and grow together.
