As the saying goes, lying flat is temporarily satisfying, lying flat all the time is always satisfying.

Jian Wu, as one of the victims of China's ultra-intense exam-oriented education system, resolutely joined the ranks of the "lying flat" movement after failing the postgraduate entrance exam once again, choosing to fish (slack off), raise flowers (wait for death) at home.
Then he broke up with his childhood sweetheart boyfriend of seven years.
Diametrically opposed to Jian Wu, Song Shuci is a veritable "involution king".
And he's the kind of king of involution who feels that doing anything other than studying and working is a waste of time.
After the breakup, Jian Wu silently left their small home, along with the city that held several years of their love, carrying his tortoise.
Until one day, he saw Song Shuci again, through the glass panel of the school conference room.
The man was tall and elegant, his image as an elite intellectual hadn't changed a bit.
The usually aloof dean was inviting Song Shuci to join with all sorts of jaw-droppingly generous conditions, while the latter's expression remained indifferent, clearly uninterested.
But when Jian Wu turned his head away, he heard him say: "I am willing to join your school."*
B Medical University is located in a remote area, and its teaching staff has always been quite average. Successfully recruiting a heavyweight scientific researcher like Song Shuci undoubtedly stirred up a heated discussion within the school.
Colleague A: "The new Professor Song looks so handsome in a white coat!" Jian Wu, expressionless: "It's been stained with mouse shit."
Colleague B: "Professor Song is so efficient, he's down-to-earth, and replies to messages so quickly." Jian Wu sneered: "Indeed fast, he sends messages even faster when he's cursing someone out."
Colleague C: "I heard Professor Song is still single, whoever dates him will be so lucky." Jian Wu rolled his eyes: "Whoever wants this luck is an idiot."

Half a year later, Jian Wu and Song Shuci posted a photo on their WeChat Moments, holding hands and wearing rings.
Colleagues: "???"
Jian Wu replied: "I'm an idiot."
Song Shuci snatched his phone away and hugged him from behind: "I heard you've been telling everyone I'm fast?"
