Yu Yu has been single for 25 years. If she had to name one romantic experience, it would be a secret crush that lasted ten years.
Yu Yu confessed to her childhood friend: "I like you!"
Jiang Yichang is the classic child everyone else's parents point to: excellent grades, well-mannered, and cool-tempered. Like a flower blooming high on a mountain, she's someone people can admire but never reach.
As Jiang Yichang listened, her face changed slightly for once. She looked puzzled, as if she hadn't understood what Yu Yu was saying.
Summoning all her courage, Yu Yu rose onto her tiptoes and pressed her lips to Jiang Yichang's. "I mean, I like you like this." She didn't dare look at her again, and ran off, face red.
And then... nothing. Jiang Yichang disappeared, vanishing without a trace, as though she'd never been by Yu Yu's side at all.
Seven years later, Yu Yu sees the new director and has a thousand profanities on the tip of her tongue. Instead, all she can manage is a polite smile and some social niceties: "Director, please feel free to ask me anything."
The new director's expression doesn't change. She calmly says two words: "All right." She seems so distant, if you ignore the fact that she keeps holding Yu Yu's hand and won't let go.
"Ms. Yu, come to my office."
"Ms. Yu, stay late and work overtime today."
"Ms. Yu, come with me to the reception tonight."
"Ms. Yu, Ms. Yu, Ms. Yu..."
Yu Yu is about to lose her mind. Why?! Why does this woman call her into the office just so they can eat together, make her stay late only to keep her company, and refuse to let her fend off drinks at the reception, only to get completely drunk herself? And when she's drunk... when she's drunk, she kisses Yu Yu!
