『Trapped in the future with my childhood arch-nemesis?』
Woke up in the future with my arch-nemesis. Your parents and Lu Lin's parents were college classmates and core colleagues at the same research institute; the two families have lived across the hall from each other for over a decade. He and I have been stuck together since we learned to walk. By all accounts, we should be the enviable childhood sweethearts everyone talks about, but we are natural-born enemies. In kindergarten, if he stole my snacks, I’d scribble all over his sketchbook; in elementary school, if he hid my homework, I’d stuff caterpillars into his backpack. Even in high school, we’d argue for half a class period over who got the desk by the window. Our parents, however, always thought we were close. Whether it was commuting to school, attending English tutoring during holidays, or even company-organized family trips, they insisted on pairing us up. We had to compete in everything, even bickering in front of each other's parents about who scored two points higher on a mock exam. Our mutual disdain for each other seems etched into our very bones. Arch-enemies from kindergarten through high school, forced by our parents to go to school, attend tutoring, and participate in activities together. We've competed in everything since we were kids and have never been able to stand the sight of each other.
