High school[]
By the end of high school, Xiao Geng had developed a crush on Xi Men though he continued to treat her platonically. One night, Xiao Geng went out with friends and missed the last bus home. They convinced her to climb to the roof of a building to await the next bus. As the sun rose that morning, Xiao Geng spotted a sign in the distance bearing the words, "Xi Men, my love." She later left a voicemail asking Xi Men to meet her at that building. Xi Men never showed up. The next morning, Xiao Geng waited outside his home to goodbye. She later sent him a letter detailing her feelings. A year later, Xi Men happened to see her on the street with a guy.[1]
