You probably always have to be in love to become close friends
-
By chance, Ming Ting moved in with her childhood friend and secret crush, Duan Zeyu.
In exchange, she would act as his shield against his parents' pressure to marry, and wait on the young master hand and foot for a while.
Their business arrangement ended when their parents saw through them.
On the day Ming Ting and Duan Zeyu "amicably broke up," she had just finished a matchmaking dinner arranged by her family when she saw twenty-eight missed calls on her phone.
Ming Ting spoke in a completely hopeless tone: "If you have something to say, say it. I'm rushing between matchmaking dates."
Duan Zeyu sounded casual on the other end of the line. "Since your mom is pressuring you to date too..."
His voice overlapped with the real thing. Duan Zeyu appeared in the seat across from her and drawled lazily, "Why don't we give it a try?"
Sharp-tongued, mischievous, and dependable x eccentric thinker, pretending to be calm
More or less a story about a secret crush where neither person ever admits to liking the other.
Not close friends, but lovers.
1. SC, 1v1, happy ending
2. "You probably always have to be in love to become close friends" is a lyric.
Theme: Go for it!
