Ten Books of Spring

(The ending is rushed, the characters have questionable values, and it contains plagiarism. Not recommended. Please leave. There was nothing I could do: the contract was with the book, not the author, and I can't delete the work.)

That spring, she went to an unfamiliar city and an unfamiliar bookstore, where she met someone she knew.

He rode past her on his motorcycle.

The girl stood quietly with a carton of milk in her arms. As he rode by, the breeze lifted her hair.

He turned his head and glanced at her.

Song Yang was the infamous school bully at Fengqiu No. 3 High School. Everyone within miles, both inside and outside the school, knew his name. People had even given him a nickname:

"The Little Tyrant of Licheng."

Ever since his name became known, pedestrians would steer clear whenever they saw him coming.

He had a vicious temper, too. He'd get into a fight whenever he was in a bad mood. In his first year of high school, he injured his deskmate, and from then on, he established his reputation at school.

The story spread throughout the school in less than a day, and soon even people outside the school had heard about it.

She'd thought nobody would like someone like him, but quite a few people did. He never responded to any of them.

He once posted on his social media:

"I ain't ever gonna fall for anyone."

Later, he stood behind her beneath the crabapple blossoms. In his hand was the same brand of gum she'd given him the first time they met. Watching her from behind, he smiled:

"Wen Shuyu, long time no see."

"Will you marry me?"

A withered tree trunk fell onto the crabapple blossoms.

The ten-part prelude to spring: I want to read through the bloom of youth with you.
