Zhou Zhao has recently found someone incredibly annoying.
The new transfer student, Chen Sui, is six foot three and makes Zhou Zhao look like a little firecracker. His near-perfect grades leave Zhou Zhao in the dust, and with his model proportions and celebrity face, he looks like the Goddess Nuwa's most impressive work. His face isn't even in the same league as Zhou Zhao's, still round with baby fat.
Chen Sui has successfully taken Zhou Zhao's title of campus heartthrob and become the peerless beauty of Mingde No. 4 High School.
Outclassed in every way, Zhou Zhao is left with only the reputation of "rich kid, nothing but a trust-fund brat after all."
Zhou Zhao laughs in exasperation. His classmates sure are quick to change their tune!
If he lets Chen Sui swagger around in front of him, he might as well give up being a trust-fund brat!
After heading home in a foul mood, Zhou Zhao opens the door and sees that same hard-to-get-rid-of "peerless beauty" sitting in his living room with a smile.
Zhou Zhao: "..."
His parents turn around and wave him over. "An'an, your childhood sweetheart is here!"
Zhou Zhao shudders. "I'm not close to him!!"

Everyone at Mingde No. 4 High School knows that Zhou Zhao and Chen Sui can't stand each other. They fight whenever they meet.
Someone in their class gives a live report on the two of them fighting in the alley behind the school.
Classmate A: "You have no idea how brutal it was... blood and guts everywhere, it was horrible! Blood even splattered on my shoes!!"
As the words leave their mouth, the front door opens and Zhou Zhao walks in with a sour expression.
The students tremble. "Bro... why are you alone? Where's... where's Chen Sui?"
Zhou Zhao: "Go now. You can still piece him back together."
"..."
The boy grabs Chen Sui's backpack, slings it over his shoulder, and walks off with a scowl.
Several people rush out of the classroom together. Downstairs, they see Zhou Zhao throw the backpack at Chen Sui, who hands him the popsicle in his hand. The boy looks like a bristling cat being petted until it calms down. He glances at the popsicle, takes it, and bites into it.
The two turn and leave school side by side.
The students: "..."
So much for not being close...?

From Chen Sui's perspective, he and Zhou Zhao grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Everyone thinks they're not close, even Zhou Zhao himself.
But only Chen Sui knows that no one in the world understands Zhou Zhao better than he does...
