Young people meet each other on the most popular social media in China, QQ. Not only chatting in QQ group online, but they also hang out together every week, flirting, kissing, joking, playing around with both genders. They get physically intimate easily, but in private, they don't consider each other as friends, but playmates. They try to run away from the confusion that they've no idea of who they are, what they want, what they're capable of, and how to deal with being young. They grab every ounce of superficial happiness fiercely, mix it with emptiness and loneliness, then exaggerate deliberately.
