Fu Jingxuan studies international business. His shirt is always clean and his smile is gentle. Gu Jingcheng, who studies architecture, is honest and taciturn, and blushes when talking to girls. They are close to Liu Ruyan from the Accounting Department and Liu Qingqing from the Tourism Management Department, a pair of half-sisters. The four of them often share a table in the library, go to Chinatown to drink sugar cane juice, and walk under the phoenix tree in the playground. The rainy season in Phnom Penh is humid and hot, but the phoenix flowers bloomed particularly well that year, as red as if they were on fire.
Fu Jingxuan likes Liu Ruyan. What he likes is the seats reserved in advance in the library, the biggest bag of mangosteens at the fruit stall at the school gate, and the waiting at the sugar cane juice stall that always arrives fifteen minutes earlier than her. He carefully collected her notes, wrote her initials on the title page of the poetry collection in the bookstore, and sent her a message "Don't go to bed too late" when she stayed up late to review. He thought that as long as he was sincere enough, one day she would look back and see him. He asked her to meet in Chinatown, where the sunset turned Moniwan Avenue into gold. He ordered two glasses of sugar cane juice with ice and waited for her to come.
Liu Ruyan knew what he was thinking. She hesitated. This boy is so good that you can't find any fault with him.
