The Girl Downstairs

I was laughed at the whole day.

Aww.

Juntang,

you're as weak as ever.

Oh, shut up.

Juntang, where are you going?

We're running out of beer.

I'm going to go buy some more.

Can you also get some peanuts?

I'll pay you later.

Sure.

Off you go.

Don't come back, yeah?

Actually,

I was hoping she would ask to tag along.

Juntang!

Wait for me.

I want to get some ice cream.

I'm coming with you.

This is Li Shiya, my housemate.

She's a year older than me.

Let's get a big bucket this time.

You can eat out of it.

Really?

You're not going to stop me?

Why would I?

It's a good way to gain weight.

Helps you shake unwanted attention.

Aw, you naughty boy.

What's going on in your head?

Nothing.

Come on, spit it out.

She's not my girlfriend.

I haven't confessed to her.

And vice versa.

But...

Juntang.

I've told you a thousand times.

If you don't like me, then keep your distance.

You didn't look away.

You give me hope.

Right.

Before my first day of school,

I never thought I would meet someone like her.

In my youth.

In my early 20s.

Can't believe the holiday is over.

I'm back to school again.

Zhu Zhu

I've done the paperwork for readmission.

Zhu...

She's returning to school.

Let's meet up.

I haven't seen you in a while.

Seriously?

But you're one and a half hours away.

Well, a long commute is going to be an everyday thing

now that I've returned to school.

So, are we meeting or not?

Yeah, come on over! I'll buy you lunch!

Yes!

Oh, wait.

I need to get changed.

This is great.

She was the reason I applied to Min Song University.

Now I finally...

Is this girl waiting for someone?

Hmm, she's weird.

Who is she?

She looks vaguely familiar.

Is she a returnee?

Um,

have we met before?

We haven't?

Maybe we attended the same tutoring class?

No, that can't be right.

Guozhu would have thrown himself

at a stunner like her.

Guozhu...

Shiya! Shiya! Shiya! Shiya!

My idol just quit.

Oh, Guozhu, what's the matter?

Dream Sweet's lead vocalist, Li Shiya has decided to quit music. "We respect Shiya's decision, and we wish her every success in in her future endeavors. She'll be great," her former agency told the press.

Shiya...

You spoiled brat!

Are you ever going to stop blowing my money?

Dream Sweet.

You're Shiya, a member of Dream Sweet!

It's you, right?

Mm.

I am Shiya.

What do you want?

What is it that you want?

Answer me.

What are you doing?

Honestly, I thought you would dodge.

You're slow.

You just waved a lighter in my face!

I can call the cops for that!
