A Fleeting Fragrance, A Heart Stirred

“I haven’t been here long either...” As he spoke, he gently lifted Yuan Yin’s left leg and rested it on the bench. Then he sat at the other end. “I wanted to enjoy the view.” “You’re copying me!” Yuan Yin said with a grin. “Mm!” Mo Ziheng casually rested his arm along the back of the bench. “I’ve never met anyone like you. You admit to copying someone and still act so unapologetic about it.” “Does that earn me points?” Mo Ziheng asked, pretending it was just an idle question. “Well... owning up to what you did... that earns points!” Yuan Yin agreed. The boy smiled with satisfaction. After that, the boy would often ask, “Does that earn me points?” He also said, “How about I give you a boyfriend with a perfect score one day?” He found a notebook and listed every quality that earned points. He never expected that one day she would see that the list had reached ninety-nine items, and he would disappear...

Mao Linlin: “Dear... my college life is really over...” Yuan Yin: “Sigh, there’s no end to learning... I still have three years left...” They looked at each other, let out a wail, and hugged... Mo Ziheng: “...” Dear... This wasn’t the first time he’d heard Mao Linlin call Yuan Yin that. Every time he heard it, he felt a crushing mix of envy and jealousy! Mao Linlin shouted, “Why should I take responsibility? I don’t remember a thing afterward. Who knows if you’re just a toothpick?!” Lin Yuze was furious. He paced in circles twice. “I’ll give you one more chance to measure properly!”
