    "Hiccup, I want more." A soft, familiar voice rang in his ears, and Chi Yun turned around abruptly. He saw Shu Yi squatting on the ground, drunk, her white dress draped over the gray marble floor. The young girl rested her chin on her hands, shaking her head, looking both amusing and adorable. Chi Yun stood in front of her, his expression seemingly calm, but his palms were already damp with sweat. The girl he liked in high school—tonight, he had reunited with her at the entrance of "Heartbeat Bar." He spoke slowly, his voice slightly dark, calling her "Shu Yi." The warmth of his voice was the same as the clear, youthful tone he used when he called her name in his youth. Shu Yi tilted her head to look at him, her eyes crinkling, obedient and serene. Warm light shone on her face, her skin glowing with a porcelain-white softness, like the first snow of winter, pure and beautiful. Just like their first encounter in winter when they were young. Only this time, the snow fell silently, but his heartbeat was more turbulent than before.
