After the last summer I gave you came the two funerals of “winter.”
That midsummer buried the confessions left unsaid, the love letters never sent, and the departed who never got a farewell, beneath snow like the depths of winter. When the boys’ youthful thoughts stopped soaring, they all became bloody reality.
Ji Xia often thought that quiet, clear, transparent, understated summer would last forever… Then, after the final class-placement exam, a casual suggestion from a bad influence sent him crashing back into Class Two all by himself, and earned him a demerit for good measure.
As luck would have it, he ran into Yu Yan, a science whiz who had also “managed” to get himself transferred from Class One to Class Two by being hopelessly lopsided in his studies. And thanks to their homeroom teacher’s matchmaking, the two became unfortunate deskmates, as inseparable as a pair of separated molecules.
Ji Xia + Yu Yan: My deskmate is a closet flirt.
