At seventeen or eighteen, the only things to pass the time at school besides studying are little bits of gossip.

As it happens, four people at No. 22 Middle School fit the bill.

There's a capybara girl who gets full marks in science, but whose English and Chinese grades periodically plummet.

There's also the vampire heartthrob, who comes first in every monthly exam but gets a stomachache or headache whenever there's a major exam.

There's the righteous young lady, 173 centimeters tall and as beautiful as a movie star, who can't take the arts entrance exam because her arms and legs won't cooperate.

And then there's the guy who once said, "Seriously, I'll love you for ten thousand years."

That's how he got the nickname Ten-Thousand-Year Guy.

The four of them only ever hang out in their own circles, completely unaware that their classmates consider them "school celebrities."

The kind whose every little bit of news spreads across the whole school.

"Whoa, the English teacher said that if Jin Li in the class next door improves her English, she can pick any university from Peking or Tsinghua."

"Too bad. As soon as she walks into an exam room, the 26 letters of the English alphabet make her faint."

"How do you know?"

"I used to sit next to her."

"Hey! I saw Shen Cangdong this morning, pedaling like crazy while a pack of dogs chased him!"

"Makes sense. Every cat and dog within three kilometers of our school hates him."

"Why?"

"Because he's the famous cat-and-dog..."

"Hush..."

"Ha ha, good morning, Shen Cangdong."

"Level-one alert! Level-one alert! Someone from Class Eight just got on Yu Chuying's bad side. She finished tearing into them, but she's still furious. All the guys, get moving and keep a low profile!"

"What's wrong with them? Why bother her for no reason?! They can't even win an argument with her!"

"She's coming, she's coming!"

"Who's that pacing around by the door? Could it be the director?"

"Li Chengyi. He probably talked too much and got kicked out by his class monitor."

"Oh, then it's fine. You scared me. I thought it was Mr. Zhou."

"You two in the back, go outside and keep Li Chengyi company."

"..."

"I love moments like this, being free and happy. I love who we are right now, "

"Of life's four seasons, we're in the most passionate one."

"Thank you for being there in my otherwise boring youth."

"What I mean is, long live friendship!"
