"Through three thousand chaotic nights, you are the moon I long for in my dreams, night after night."
[Independent, clear-headed, stunning actress vs. decisive, scheming CEO]
.
Song Yusheng and Pei Yanchu had never gotten along.
They'd traded barbs from first grade all the way into adulthood.
Even moments before the awards ceremony, Song Yusheng was still making fun of his dark purple satin suit, saying it looked like a purple eggplant had come to life.
Onstage, the two wore polished smiles and exchanged polite formalities as they gave their speeches.
Backstage, they fought tooth and nail over the tiniest things.
After their latest fight, Pei Yanchu sat beside Song Yusheng in his ripped-up suit and hit play on "Best Frenemies."
It was their unspoken tradition, followed since childhood.
After an argument, they'd take the length of one song to cool off, then make up.

After yet another argument, Song Yusheng put on her headphones as usual, waiting for Pei Yanchu to play a song.
A familiar melody began. Song Yusheng leaned against the sofa, her rosy lips moving as she ticked off his offenses.
Suddenly, the song in her headphones changed to a tender love ballad.
On that damp, rainy night, sticky moisture crept in through the window and clung to their skin.
The power went out. Their shoulders touched.
Neither moved, both understanding without a word.
At the song's climax, Pei Yanchu suddenly covered her eyes. After a rustle of fabric, the headphones were pulled away.
In the faint moonlight, Pei Yanchu gazed at the person he'd yearned for over three thousand days and nights.
Her lashes fluttered like a cicada's wings.
A few seconds later,
a moist, hoarse voice murmured beside her ear:
"Song Yusheng, I'm going to count to three."
"If you don't push me away, I'm going to kiss you."

A little scene from Pei Yanchu's Weibo:
P: Who wants to be friends with her?
P: She put a moon tattoo sticker on her waist. What a coward, she didn't dare go herself, so she egged me on.
P: Annoying. Why is she looking at other men again?
P: She doesn't dislike anyone else. She only dislikes me.
Some time later:
@P
Bio: Song Yusheng's boyfriend.
Song Yusheng was the bright moon hanging high in the chaotic night.
And Pei Yanchu dared to dream of kissing the moon.
