Features: "Living in the Network" right after school—chatting online, listening to music, playing games, and heading to bars for gatherings—"drinking until dawn." Humming COOL songs—Yuquan's "Cold COOL All the Way," speaking COOL internet slang—"Cuihua, Add Pickled Vegetables," and yearning for COOL places—uninhabited primitive forests, mysterious Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, boundless deserts. COOL guys digest trends and spread vibrancy. COOL attire brings "Korean style, Japanese vibe"; COOL pop and rock music dominates; walking down the street with colorful hair, COOL guys are both COOL and a bit foolish. Will their foolishness lead to silly actions? COOL guys, aside from their natural bravery, also harbor a hint of shyness deep inside, though they don’t dare express their true selves! Girls' hearts are like rain and fog, leaving COOL guys unable to see or understand clearly. Having a crush is excruciatingly painful—the feeling of eating just three bowls of rice and feeling full, or sleeping for just fifteen minutes and feeling rested. Their minds are consumed with thoughts of the person, their cheeks hollowed out, their eyes bulging. When they speak, no one understands them. Even if a girl leaves them, COOL guys will pick a bunch of azaleas, lay them on her path, and whisper to her to tread lightly. Be COOL all the way, show off your bravery, and you’ll win her over. COOL guys must act like COOL guys—don’t cry over setbacks! COOL guys must be strong—only blood, not tears. If they shed tears, they’re cowards. COOL guys have a certain aura, a certain backbone. When they fall, they’ll get back up. What they’ve lost, they’ll take back.
