Saving a Secret Crush

On my 18th birthday, several new text messages appeared on my phone. The sender claimed to be me, ten years in the future.

“This isn’t a prank.”

“Go find Jiang Yue in the computer science department.”

“He may seem reserved and cold now, but in the years to come, he’ll be the person in this world who loves you most.”

“Save him. Promise me you won’t let him die for you again.”
