"From 13 to 15 years old, Qiyue and Ansheng have been always together for three years. Sometimes Qiyue is the shadow of Ansheng, and sometimes Ansheng is the shadow of Qiyue. They read in the book: if you keep stepping on a someone's shadow, that person will never leave. But Ansheng said that a whole lifetime is too long, and she only wants to live up to 27.

After graduating from junior high school, Qiyue was admitted to the best high school, and Ansheng entered a vocational school. In Ansheng's words, after nine years hard life, she finally got into a school that doesn't need to hand in a composition and doesn't have a code of conduct. It was just to her taste. "
