Peng Chengyi felt that there must be a cursed fate between her and Chen Yubai.
They were born in the same hospital and lived across the street from each other.
In kindergarten, they slept in adjacent beds; he always liked to step on her head while sleeping.
In elementary school, they sat in front of each other’s desks; he liked to tease her braids to ease himself.
In junior high, they shared a desk; he liked to sleep during class, letting her cover for him.
In high school, their positions were finally separated, yet they remained in the same class.
Worse, the height he gained over summer vacation and his open facial features made him a dream to many girls; she had to collect his love letters every few days.
Yet she, also a bright and lovely girl, had never received any love letter.
Unable to endure, Peng Chengyi decided that in college he would certainly separate from him.
Peng Chengyi: "Which university will you attend?"
Chen Yubai: "Peking University."
Peng Chengyi: "Then I’ll enroll in Huada."
Chen Yubai: "Oh, as you wish."
When the acceptance letters arrived, she saw in the mailman’s hand his as well.
It was Huada, with an envelope identical to hers.
Peng Chengyi: "You promised to enroll at Peking University."
Chen Yubai: "After comparing, Huada is still more suitable for me."
Peng Chengyi: "%口*#…"
Fortunately their departments and curricula differed, so she no longer had to see him daily and even found a boyfriend.
After hearing the news, Chen Yubai said he would invite her and his boyfriend to celebrate, but on the dinner he was as silent as a mute person.
While her boyfriend went to the bathroom, Peng Chengyi couldn’t help but ask him: "Why are you so quiet?"
Chen Yubai: "I’m thinking."
Peng Chengyi: "Thinking about what?"
Chen Yubai: "Why am I inferior to him?"
Afterward, in Chen Yubai’s room drawer, Peng Chengyi saw several love letters written to her in high school.
The one at the bottom, with the most familiar handwriting, was his.

——Next book 'Tropical Heat Summer', synopsis follows——
When Chen Xia was ten, her mother took her out to marry.
She was forced to call a stranger a father, and was given a brother older by two years, Chen Chao.
Despite no blood relation, their personalities differed; he was quiet and obedient, a model student; she was reckless and carefree, often causing trouble.
At school, nobody linked them together. Only when he began early love with someone from outside, she reported him.
After returning home, Chen Chao, with a grim face, blocked her from behind the door: "Tell me, where did I offend you?"
Chen Xia lowered her brows, replied indifferently: "I just can’t stand people who love early like you."
"Fine, I’ll remember." He smiled bitterly, eyes shadowed.
Later, Chen Chao entered university and left home. Chen Xia, after taking the college entrance exam, applied to the same city university as him.
Before school started, Chen Xia, pretending to adapt early, moved into the rented house outside the campus that Chen Chao rented.
The summer nights were long; the two slept cramped in the damp, stifling rented room.
Chen Xia suddenly asked: "What does it feel like to kiss someone else?"
Chen Chao, frowning, "How do I know."
Chen Xia: "You’re not supposed to have a casual romance."
Chen Chao, twisting his mouth: "Was I not embarrassed by you, unable to experience?"
Chen Xia stared at him for seconds, then rushed to his lips: "Let me compensate you."
Later, Chen Xia brought her boyfriend home to meet her parents.
In the cheerful living room, only Chen Chao was there with a gloomy face.
Afterward, Chen Xia again found herself behind Chen Chao’s back.
He pressed his arm against her thin shoulder, eyes brimming with suppressed emotions: "Breaking up with him was really quick."
