In 1997, when first-graders-to-be Zhang Yixing and Cheng Hui Ru first met officially, there was nothing to tell about. They were just another neighborhood kids who lived across the street from each other. They were practically ignoring each other cause Hui Ru had her drawing book and crayons to keep her company and Yixing had TV, Jimmy Lin, foods, his soccer friends, and his grandma's grumbles to keep him busy. Until the night before the first school day.
