so whats Pan Zhi's role in the story?
well, if you don't mind spoilers I will say this: he gives study materials for Jiang Cheng so he can pass the entrance exam for college and disturbs Jiang Cheng with topics like " you know that you will leave this place after you finish high school and left behind you're boyfriend, right?" "Don't get too attached to your boyfriend , you know you not gonna be here forever", Pan Zhi is a good friend but he anticipates Jiang Cheng's suffering a little bit .
excuse me?? actual talking?? with dialog that is actually new?? and not turning into those kind of cringy and annoying (at least to me) misunderstanding after misunderstanding scenarios????? the bar is low for me
