Jiaojiao Qisi

In her second year of graduate school, Qi Jiao runs into her half-childhood-friend again: Zhou Siqi, the boy next door. She's not happy about it. Not only is he staying at her house, but at school he's become her direct junior in the same academic lineage.

Qi Jiao: "When you were little, you bit my finger like a dog and wouldn't let go. You caught crickets on purpose to scare me, and you even killed my pet."

Faced with Qi Jiao's accusations, Zhou Siqi is baffled.

He insists he's innocent.

The news that Qi Jiao and Zhou Siqi, two famous faces at Kyoto University, are dating sets off a storm on the university forum.

Anonymous Commenter A: Seriously, Zhou Siqi's just average-looking. What does Qi Jiao see in him?

Anonymous Commenter B: How could Zhou Siqi date an older woman? It's probably just a fling. If they last, I'll fail a major course this semester.

Anonymous Commenter C: Sob, sob, sob, why is my wife dating someone else?

Qi Jiao posts under her real name: He's better-looking than you. Thanks for the good wishes, we're definitely going to last.

Zhou Siqi adds a timid comment below: I'm not your wife. Don't call me that.

My next book, Childhood Friends with the Film Emperor, is on my profile.

New screenwriter Yan Sheng posts online, accusing an established writer of putting their name on her work. Amid a flood of comments saying, "Who do you think you are?", the film emperor Song Chuyan reposts her post and writes: It's hard for a young screenwriter to stand up for their rights. Keep going.

Yan Sheng and Song Chuyan grew up together as childhood friends. Everyone around them assumes they'll naturally become a couple and fulfill a dream they've held for years.

But no one could have imagined that the summer they came of age, he lost his dream and she lost him.

Song Chuyan later gives an interview.

The reporter asks: "A lot of people know you insisted on debuting as an actor, and once you became popular, you said you had a crush on a girl for many years. People have been looking back at your high school photos and are curious: was the girl you mentioned screenwriter Yan Sheng?"

Song Chuyan, usually so confident in interviews, gives a rare, shy smile. "Yes. I'm glad I found her again."

Yan Sheng: I used being a fan as an excuse to keep loving that boy, secretly and openly.
