Jiang Xu would always remember the timid little girl who transferred to No. 1 High School and became his new deskmate. She wore old canvas shoes, looked frail, and had even taken a year off school.
The other students gossiped, figuring that someone as mild-mannered as her would inevitably be driven away by the unruly Jiang Xu.
Leaning against the desk, Jiang Xu watched his deskmate bury herself in her studies. He jokingly warned her that Class Eight was a complicated place, then teasingly told her to call him "big brother" and promised to protect her.
But the girl replied earnestly that all she wanted was to get into Tsinghua University, and that she had no interest in dating so young.
When it was time to register for college, Jiang Xu hugged her in front of everyone, a faint smile on his lips. "Dating in college doesn't count as dating too young."
