There's Something Strange About My Childhood Friend

[This novel has been signed for publication in simplified Chinese.] Liang Youmu and Chu Xian are known far and wide as sworn enemies. From childhood onward, they competed over grades, test scores, perseverance, and who could turn in their exam first. As adults, they entered the same industry and competed over whose salary went up more and who worked less overtime. They butted heads eight hundred times a year, and every clash was earth-shaking. Of course, other people might call them “childhood sweethearts,” but Liang Youmu and Chu Xian’s feud began before kindergarten... It all started when she challenged Chu Xian to see who could pee farther. She lost ten times in a row, got furious, and slapped him into a watermelon patch, where he nearly got stuck. From that day on, she was legendary, and the boys on half the street trembled whenever they saw her. And that’s how Ms. Liang the Log ended up single to this day. She thought she would spend the rest of her life peacefully single, but then a fortune-telling website appeared on her computer. Her fortune read: “Constantly and unconsciously ignoring other people’s affection is a sin. Repent, young lady!” Liang Youmu: “...” This has to be fake, right? She thought it was just some boring virus site. But when she opened the door, Chu Xian took a sip of water, frowned, and rubbed his temples. “Come on, let’s go over yesterday’s code.” At that very moment, a tsunami of pink bubbles appeared before her eyes. The world warped, her heart pounded, and her mind spewed out an uncontrollable flood of yearning prose: [Today he was wearing gold-rimmed glasses with plain lenses. What a tease. His eyes were hidden behind the glass, concealing all his beastlike longing and wild desire. I adore this refined scoundrel side of him that no one else can ever see. I want him to grab me roughly by the back of my neck, then kiss, kiss me, kiss me... I’ll let out a soft moan, then kiss him again...] A minute later, every special effect vanished. Liang Youmu stood there in a daze as her heart rate slowly dropped from 180 back to normal. “What’s wrong?” Chu Xian frowned. “What’s acting up this time?” Liang Youmu: “…” What do I do? My childhood friend is acting a little strange. Theme: Lacking courage doesn’t mean you’re a coward
