Two Girls Have Taken Charge of My Senior Year

My Senior Year Was Taken Over by Two Girls

The everyday life of three people, from senior year through college

On the first day of senior year, Liao Junjie was taken in hand by two girls.

Bai Yujie, the top student who transferred into his grade and sat in front of him, was a cool, straight-A student: "You got the formula wrong. Twenty minutes of reviewing mistakes every lunchtime, stay half an hour after school, and you're not leaving until you're done."

Zhang Yixin, his lively, prickly childhood friend who sat behind him, said: "You're in your final year now, so no getting distracted by pretty girls! You owe me twenty-seven meals. I've put them on the tab, and you'll pay me back later."

One took charge of his studies, the other his life. Liao Junjie accepted his fate, thinking he would be free once the college entrance exams were over. But then he defied the odds on his results, and all three chose colleges in the same city. On move-in day, Zhang Yixin dragged him off to carry luggage with one hand, while Bai Yujie slipped him a course schedule with the other.

"Surely nobody's going to boss me around in college, right?"

Then Zhang Yixin suggested they share an apartment, and Bai Yujie produced a "Three-Person Agreement" and stuck it on the fridge: take turns doing chores, respect each other's privacy, no secret dates, and no giving each other the silent treatment. They would try it for three months, then renegotiate.

When Bai Yujie stayed up late, she quietly brought him warm milk: "If you fail a class, it'll reflect badly on me." When Zhang Yixin caught him having dinner with an upperclassman, she plopped herself down: "What a coincidence! This seat taken?"

One wrote comments in his mistake notebook, the other kept track of the meals he owed in her ledger. One night, the two of them cornered him at the same time: "Liao Junjie, what do you really think?"

He looked left, then right. "Can I have a bite of my bun before I answer?"

The story of an ordinary guy who gets thoroughly managed by two girls, but can't bring himself to run away.

"This isn't the end. It's the beginning of our everyday life as three."
