Chapter One, Xu Zhuo is the bastard I have liked for many years, without exception

Upon first hearing this name, I half-opened my mouth and feigned surprise, asking, "Accompany you to death? How could anyone be named that?" Later, she no longer allowed me to call her by her name. She said she didn't know why, but whenever her name came out of my mouth, it felt particularly strange, even though my pronunciation was precise and flawless. I asked, "Then what should I call you, Pei Yuyan?" She seriously pondered for a minute and finally said, "You can call me Mingzhu, I want to be the pearl in everyone's palm."

I asked, "Then what should I call you, Pei Yuyan?" She seriously pondered for a minute and finally said, "You can call me Mingzhu, I want to be the pearl in everyone's palm."

At that time, I still did not know that the "big boss" he mentioned was Xu Zhuo. However, this scene uncontrollably reminded me of Yu Hao pursuing Xiao Yanzi, so I impulsively replied, "Shouldn't you call me Sister Ping'an then"

As a result, her words became a prophecy.

But my beloved youth has the most beautiful brows and eyes in the world

Then I noticed Xu Zhuo not far away, standing at the forefront of a group of people. His voice traveled through the sound waves, coming closer and closer. The young man laughed so hard that his whole shoulders shook, and the corners of his eyes sparkled. Behind him, that legion seemed to be the elite Flying Tigers gathered from the entire world, exuding an air of invincibility

When Xu Zhuo made a brilliant entrance in my life, I had already watched "Douyu" more than four times. Perhaps due to the daily torment from Pei Mingzhu, I began to find Zhang Xunjie somewhat charmingly rogue, and my infatuation with scoundrels probably started from that time. I even wrote in my exchange diary with Pei Mingzhu that a life without having loved a scoundrel at least once is incomplete. I still remember that Mingzhu's handwriting was exceedingly ugly, and she casually replied to me with four words: "seriously ill."

The day Xu Zhuo appeared at the school gate is one I will always remember

Finally, this debate competition has concluded perfectly, marking a flawless beginning to this seemingly ambiguous friendship

Hey, Xia Ping'an, our boss likes you

Although I held a deep disdain for what she said at that time, I knew that the title suited her perfectly. Mingzhu could be considered a little rich second-generation heiress, and she was also quite a sight to behold, with slender arms and legs, red lips, and white teeth. While children from ordinary families like us were still hesitating to buy idol albums due to financial constraints, she was already pointing at a certain crystal bracelet in a well-known magazine and said to me, "Xia Ping'an, I know what birthday gift to get you this year." While children from ordinary families like us were still hesitating to buy idol albums due to financial constraints, she was already pointing at a certain crystal bracelet in a well-known magazine and said to me, "Xia Ping'an, I know what birthday gift to get you this year."

I never knew that, years later, when I typed these two characters, my fingertips would still tremble inexplicably. The handsome, youthful contours of a boy slowly take shape in my mind, only to be forcefully erased in the end. In our naive years, I believe we all crazily sought after love, but its heart was too cold and hard; we could not part from it yet could not hold onto it, leaving us ultimately alone and desolate.

I have heard people say that in a relationship, no matter how much you like the other person, it is essential for the man to take the initiative. If he does not take the initiative, please do not be afraid of missing out. Fortunately, in my various encounters with Xu Zhuo, at least in the beginning, I was in a dominant position.

Perhaps thinking that continuing in this manner would yield no clear outcome, Pei Mingzhu changed her strategic approach. While I was reciting that Guo Pinchao was more handsome like a broken record, she shouted loudly, "Guo Pinchao is more handsome!" In response, I reflexively replied at the same volume, "Zhang Xunjie is cuter!"

Later, Pei Mingzhu would tell everyone that the significance of Xia Ping'an's birth lay in meeting her, Pei Yisi. Initially, I was quite pleased with this definition, but after Xu Zhuo appeared, I took the liberty of adding a line: the significance of Xia Ping'an's existence lies in holding hands with Xu Zhuo and being in love for a lifetime

It was also midsummer, and the afterglow of the setting sun painted much of the sky in this city red. He resembled the young man who appears in all beautiful stories, dressed in a white shirt, slightly bowing his head, with his tousled bangs tilting down just enough to obscure his brown eyes. The only imperfection was the large group of gum-chewing, multicolored-haired delinquents following behind him, one of whom was even bare-chested. As soon as I stepped out of the school gate, that bare-chested young man, holding a sweat-soaked T-shirt in his hand, immediately approached me.

If I were to attribute all wounds and faults to something or someone, I would undoubtedly choose to blame the television series "Douyu" and all the people involved in it, including the shirt-wearing youth Guo Pinchao, whom I once had a long infatuation with. This is because I am reluctant; reluctant to blame everyone around me, and even more reluctant to blame myself. I once told Mingzhu that what I fear the most is not that the person I love does not love me back, but rather that one day I might suddenly wake up and realize that I have begun to stop loving, or even to the point of loathing and hating the other person to an unbearable degree.

The man whom others love has the most handsome profile in the world

Because I completely reject it, it is the yesterday that I can never return to

When "Douyu" first became popular across the continent, I spent an entire night watching it, and then I crazily bought posters of the show to stick on the walls of my bedroom, spending three months infatuated with Guo Pinchao. At that time, Pei Mingzhu was not yet called Pei Mingzhu; she was known as Pei Yisi.

My acquaintance with Pei Mingzhu began with a debate competition. At that time, Guo Pinchao was still flaunting in a white shirt, engaging in deceit, while Zhang Xunjie sported a silly middle parting, trying to act cute. Pei Mingzhu and I engaged in a fierce verbal dispute in the corridors throughout our middle school years, arguing over whether Guo Pinchao's flamboyance was more handsome or Zhang Xunjie's cuteness was more endearing. Two immature children became flushed with excitement as they defended their so-called idols, with the content of our argument merely revolving around repetitive claims of 'he is handsome' and 'he is cute.'

Xu Zhuo

The phrase "sick to the marrow" perfectly describes my attitude and feelings towards Xu Zhuo. Because of him, Xia Ping'an began her life as a rogue. Everyone says that when you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Therefore, since Xia Ping'an likes Xu Zhuo, it is only natural that she should be with him, engaging in rogue behavior together
