On the first day Si Yi moved into her new home, she saw a message from her opposite-door neighbor in the residents' group chat: "Paying top dollar for Si Yi's solo 1 limited-edition photocard. Plenty of budget, urgently wanted!!"
Her career had already crashed so badly that everyone was calling for her to be canceled, and someone was still offering top dollar for her photocard? Maybe her reputation was so bad that nobody replied. For days in a row, the neighbor posted a request for the card right on schedule.
Si Yi dug an unopened album out of her home and added the neighbor on WeChat: "I have one here. I don't like her anymore, so I'll just give it to you. I put it in your mailbox."
The neighbor accepted her friend request right away, but instead of saying thank you, she snapped, "Did you quit being a fan because of the scandal? I don't think you ever really liked Si Yi. I don't want your stuff, either. Take it back." After sending several messages, she added a bunch of big middle-finger emojis.
Si Yi felt a sudden warmth in her heart. She laughed at the insults. "It wasn't because of the scandal. I have some things to deal with in my personal life." The neighbor hurried to apologize. As they chatted back and forth, they gradually got to know each other.

Jiang Feng is a currently popular idol singer. Ever since her debut, she's been at odds with Si Yi, who debuted the same year. They fought over subway-area promotions, endorsements, collaborations... But after Si Yi was suddenly caught up in a scandal and left the industry, Jiang Feng was desperate to find out what had happened to her. Unable to find her, she wanted to collect her photocards and merchandise as keepsakes.
She posted a few messages in the residents' group chat without much hope, but someone actually got in touch. Among the messages, she saw only the words "quit being a fan." Thinking of the endless wave of online abuse lately, she angrily gave the other person a piece of her mind. But it turned out to be a misunderstanding, and they kept in touch. She realized she liked chatting with this new neighbor she'd never even met. But she'd always liked Si Yi, hadn't she? Worried she was falling for someone else, she quickly went cold on the neighbor for a while.

Si Yi and her neighbor had hit it off as if they'd known each other forever, but after a while, the other person suddenly turned cold. She didn't know what had gone wrong, and their relationship gradually grew distant.
Then one day, Jiang Feng took her dog out for a walk. The dog barked at the door across the hall. When it opened, she discovered that the new neighbor she'd been avoiding was Si Yi!?
