Separated from Him

"Jiang Ling, you don't happen to like someone, do you?"

"No."

"Jiang Ling, is there someone you like?"

"Yes, but I can't reach him anymore."

He embodies both the bad habits of a delinquent and the qualities everyone else's child should have. He's the student who gives teachers a headache, yet writes beautifully and gets dazzling grades. His looks are flawless, too. He lives with all the reckless, carefree spirit of youth, the very thing she envies, and he dazzled her throughout her youth.

She is a well-behaved girl on the surface, too afraid to face her secret crush for far too long, putting on an aloof front. It isn't until she realizes he may truly have cared about her that she sees they have already drifted apart.
