The first time he saw her, she was in a bleak, gray campus in the dead of winter in the north. Her lively, lovely smile lit up his world, becoming the only bright spot before his eyes.
The first time she saw him, she was having her shining moment: embarrassing herself in front of the entire class.
The first time he spoke to her, she offered to help him of her own accord, but he looked at her tiny, childlike figure and turned her down.
The first time she spoke to him, Old Wang had asked her to bring him to the office. Seeing him struggle to carry things, she offered to help, only for him to complain that she was too small and skinny.
Later, when Sang Luo was stumped by a physics problem on the blackboard, she urgently asked Tang Bozhou for help. He smiled as he watched her copy down the answer he had already written beside it...
Later, Tang Bozhou offered to tutor Sang Luo in math, physics, and chemistry so she could go anywhere without fear...
Later, while still angry, Tang Bozhou noticed the envy that flickered in Sang Luo's eyes as she watched someone else release a balloon. Sulking, he caught a balloon someone had just let go and gave it to her...
Later, Sang Luo kept him company while he set off fireworks and promised to do so with him every year...
Later, after learning that she loved spicy hot pot with red broth, Tang Bozhou insisted on eating it even as his lips swelled from the heat, just so he could share it with her in the future...
And later, later still, they had so many more laters...
