[Seeking Pre-Readers]
The two senior-year rivals who had trashed the confession wall at Luoyang No. 4 High School are assigned to Class A and forced to become deskmates.
Shen Congqiu isn't as aloof and unapproachable as the rumors claim.
Instead, he sets up a stove in the back row to boil water and brew tea, occasionally offering a cup to the principal when he passes by.
He drinks tea, plays chess, ranks first on exams, fingers a string of Buddhist beads, and sometimes treats his deskmate to crucian carp. The most carefree person in the entire senior year.
Ji Yu isn't as strange in his tastes, aesthetics, or brains as the rumors claim, either.
In the eyes of his deskmate Shen Congqiu, he's just a crucian carp who's intermittently chuunibyou, suddenly fired up, and extremely horny.
The fish's three-second memory only holds onto important things: competing with Shen Congqiu for first place, watching Shen Congqiu brew tea, and daydreaming. The second most carefree person in the entire senior year.
Facing Shen Congqiu, who wears a long string of Buddhist beads wrapped around his wrist every day, Ji Yu boldly asks: Do you believe in Buddha?
Shen Congqiu: No.
Ji Yu: ?
Shen Congqiu: Beating people with prayer beads hurts.
Ji Yu: ???
And so, in a little alley after school, Ji Yu unlocks Shen Congqiu's violent side.
Caught fighting red-handed, Shen Congqiu, student council president, expressionlessly takes off his prayer beads.
Ji Yu, hot-blooded, chuunibyou, and scatterbrained, doesn't care about the injuries of the others. He just thinks the prayer beads really do seem to hurt when used to hit someone, and boldly pipes up again: I want a string of prayer beads too!
So, on the day he comes of age, he receives a string of prayer beads that Shen Congqiu personally prayed for.
With you here, there's no need to travel a thousand miles to worship at Ling Mountain.
