Jiao Zhifei's flair didn't just manifest in college entrance exam applications and job hunting.
Even in finding a girlfriend, Jiao Zhifei reached new heights of drama.
During the entrance exam for junior high, Jiao Zhifei didn't do very well, fitting the mold of a late bloomer.
On the first day of junior high, aside from recognizing Yan Yan as his "Old Sister," he also fell for Zhou Yuan, who was the top student in the whole school at the time of enrollment.
The fact that Jiao Zhifei fancied Zhou Yuan wasn't peculiar in itself, what was odd were his reasons for liking her.
In his own words, he felt that "Zhou Yuan has a particularly tenacious character, very much like his own mother."
In the 21st century, using "tenacious" to describe a girl's personality is quirky enough, but to add that she's like one's own mother on top of that...
No girl on Earth would like such a description.
This ensured that Jiao Zhifei's pursuit of Zhou Yuan was fraught with thorns.
