What Chen Xingyi thought was their first meeting was actually just one more of Xu You's countless carefully plotted schemes over the past five years.
On the day they really first met, Xu You was sixteen. She watched Chen Xingyi's necklace fall out of her pocket but didn't say a word, as if keeping quiet would forge another bond between them.
From then on, that necklace, carelessly left behind, became the only proof of Xu You's long, unrequited love.

Little skit:
Chen Xingyi hadn't always been called that. When she was born, Ms. Li imagined her daughter growing up to be a refined, well-mannered young lady, so she gave her a name that perfectly matched her expectations. But Chen Xingyi turned out to be a complete disappointment. As soon as she could walk, she was already stirring up trouble, and her greatest ambition was to become the boss of the whole neighborhood and live the quintessential spoiled rich-kid life.
So, on her eighteenth birthday, she resolutely changed her name against Mr. Chen and Ms. Li's objections. She even claimed she'd been inspired by the venerable Tao and wanted to become someone who put knowledge into practice. Ms. Li remained skeptical. The reason was simple: although Chen Xingyi was an adult, she had good reason to suspect that her daughter's vocabulary was even smaller than that of the neighbor Old Wang's granddaughter, who had just started middle school. Still, Chen Xingyi was adamant, and Ms. Li decided to take a chance. Maybe her daughter was just a late bloomer who'd suddenly come to her senses. In the end, she agreed.
The very day her name change went through, Chen Xingyi posted an announcement on her social media: From now on, I'm the best top around!
