Thirteen Wonders

Chen Xuze had a childhood nickname, which originated from a fateful mahjong game. Before he was born, Grandma Chen and Mama Zhou both drew a Thirteen Wonders hand at the same table, one after the other. Thus, Zhou Yao and Chen Xuze—she got the character “Yao” (one), and he got “Shisan” (Thirteen).

When it came to light that they had once been casually promised to each other as childhood sweethearts, their mischievous friends nearly died laughing.

Chen Xuze was sullen, cold, aloof, rebellious, and self-centered, showing disdain for everyone. Zhou Yao, on the other hand, was quiet and well-behaved. She received slightly better treatment from him—not much, just the difference between others getting a single word from him and her getting a full sentence.

One day, a certain nosy friend suddenly came over with a mysterious look and said, “Last night, I accidentally saw them talking in a corner. Zhou Yao had too much to drink, got totally wasted, and planted a kiss right on Chen Xuze’s chin!”

The mischievous friend was shocked. “It’s over. They’re going to fall out for sure now!”

“No way.” The nosy friend, wearing a face like the world was collapsing, shook his head and said, “Chen Xuze stayed silent for three seconds. Then I heard him say—”

“What did he say?”

“—Do it again, but aim higher.”
