Patients Who Run Toward Each Other

Gu Xiaoying was just like her name: sometimes she felt sorry for herself, but most of the time she kept to herself. Apart from friends who came and went, she had only one cousin her age, who was completely unreliable.

That unreliable cousin, Xiao Jiaming, had a childhood friend named Chen Zhaoyan, who was just like his name: sunny and gentle. As Xiao Jiaming's childhood friend, Chen Zhaoyan could be just as unreliable at times. For example:

"Chen Zhaoyan, I like you."

"Sorry, my parents won't let me date this young."

And then:

"Chen Zhaoyan, can I have your contact information?"

"My girlfriend won't let me cheat on her."

Gu Xiaoying fell for Chen Zhaoyan at first sight, or perhaps it was just love at first glance. But she didn't have the nerve to act on it, and could only hide in the shadows and nurse her secret crush. Then the unreliable Xiao Jiaming dragged her out into the open, and it became:

I pretend I don't like you.

I pretend I don't know you like me.

I pretend I don't know you two like each other.

A mutual secret crush, mutual madness, and mutual growth.
