Public Enemies, Secretly Followed by the Class Monitor on My Livestream

By day, Lin Xia is the invisible girl in the back row of Class 3, Grade 11. Her greatest talent is freezing in place whenever class monitor Bai Yuewei says one word: "Homework."

At night, she puts on her headphones and becomes "Summer Special," a virtual streamer whose soothing voice lulls 98,000 people to sleep. The ever-present top supporter in her chat, "Moon," is aloof, quiet, and generous, and sends just two words every night: "Good night."

Then renovations at home force her to drag her suitcase to the apartment of her mother's best friend. When the door opens, there stands the perfect class monitor, fresh from the shower.

Rule One of the Co-Living Agreement: Pretend we don't know each other at school. Rule Three: Keep quiet after ten at night.

But ten o'clock is the best time for her livestreams.

Separated by a single wall, both of them are hiding half their faces.

She doesn't know that the person who tells her "Good night" every evening docked her two points at school that day.

Bai Yuewei doesn't know that the voice that makes her ears turn red lives right next door.
