The Eve and the Night were born in the same year and month; The Eve was born on February 13, and the Night on February 14. The Eve is a handsome 24-year-old young man, and the Night is a charming 24-year-old woman.

The Eve and the Night grew up together, went to school together, entered puberty together, and had early love together, liking other people respectively. The Eve would advise the Night on how to analyze that man, to act reserved and handle it just right, making the man keep pursuing but not too easily won, yet not rejecting too much for fear he would give up. The Night would advise the Eve on analyzing that woman's psychology, how to break through, how to please her, and how to stand out among many male fans. Thus, The Eve and the Night have come to the present together with anxiety and anticipation.

Both The Eve and the Night are 24 years old, each having dated several opposite-sex partners, but none have led to marriage. Today is February 13, The Eve's birthday, and only the Night accompanies him. The Eve broke up with his last girlfriend a few months ago, and the Night also dumped her ex-boyfriend half a year ago. The Eve invites the Night to a small bar, finds a seat by the window, orders a few bottles of beer, mostly consumed by The Eve. The two sigh about how difficult it is to maintain opposite-sex friendships, recounting from their first loves to their latest exes, chatting from eight to ten o'clock, talking in circles while drinking, feeling it's meaningless, so they agree to go to The Eve's place to watch a movie.

The Eve rents a place alone, not big; he likes watching movies, and the high-definition TV is the only major appliance in the home. The two sit on the sofa in the living room. The Eve is using Storm to find a movie, and the Night turns her face to watch The Eve busy, suddenly noticing that his slightly flushed face is quite handsome, as if she had never seen it before. The Eve's heart races and his face turns red. After adjusting the movie, he sits back on the sofa and glances at the Night, noticing she looks especially charming today. The Eve feels a stir; why hadn't he noticed before that the Night is actually very beautiful.

Gradually, they move from the middle of the sofa to the edge, huddling close together, and gradually they snuggle up.

That night, The Eve slept with the Night.
