Reunion After Years Apart | Healing | Realistic | He Has a Secret Crush | Class Difference
The day Lin Zhixia saw He Shaoqin again was much like that early summer ten years ago, when they parted without saying goodbye.
Only they were no longer the teenagers they had been back then. Their love had been intense, and so had their hatred.
Ten years ago
Lin Zhixia was the well-behaved girl in the eyes of adults. She was diligent, but easily distracted, and her grades hovered around the top hundred in her year. There were simply too many things in life to draw her attention: novels, movies, and delicious food.
He Shaoqin was the thorn in the side of every teacher: clever, but with a bad attitude. Fighting, basketball, and young love defined his teenage years, yet he always ranked among the top students in exams, making everyone marvel at the power of good genes.
Neither their classmates nor their parents could imagine these two together.
But in private, they had already become entangled.
"Come over to my place at eight on Friday night," Lin Zhixia said.
He Shaoqin put on a cool front, but inwardly he was thrilled. "Okay."
At eighteen, Lin Zhixia thought that after all those years, she was strong enough to face rumors without fear. But He Shaoqin's "cowardice" still wounded her.
Ten years later
When Lin Zhixia and He Shaoqin finally spent together the long summer they should have shared all along:
"If you could turn back time, would you still fight for me?" Lin Zhixia asked.
"No. I've found a better way to get back at you. Would you still block me?" He Shaoqin replied.
"Yes," Lin Zhixia said.
Their summer story was drawing to a close, and at last they had learned how to say goodbye.
This time, though, it was so they could begin again, better than before.
