In elementary school, everyone knew He Ji was not to be messed with.
Proud and violent.
Like a shadow no one dared approach.
Yet Chi Jianyu was carefree and heedless.
While everyone else steered clear, she ran into the rain with a bright yellow umbrella.
She held it over his head.
In the darkness, a circle of warm light appeared.
"Long time no see."
"I haven't been at school these past few days. Why haven't you been coming either?"
"I was so worried about you."
"The kidnapping has been taken care of. You don't have to worry."
The rain roared.
The next second, he suddenly hugged her.
His arms tightened, his strength out of control.
Like a drowning person who had finally grabbed hold of a piece of driftwood.

Later on.
The boy who had been covered in wounds that rainy night became the aloof top student and a famous figure at their high school.
Distant and arrogant in public, he kept everyone at arm's length.
In private, he tutored her while trading cold barbs with her.
He Ji said his least favorite thing was tutoring the idiot Chi Jianyu.
She felt bad that he worked two summer jobs, so she decided to stop troubling him.
He only got angrier.
"Actually..."
His Adam's apple bobbed.
"I'm not that busy."
He Ji's least favorite thing wasn't tutoring her.
It was the thought that one day,
Chi Jianyu wouldn't need him anymore.

Chi Jianyu, how many more summers will it take for you to realize that I like you?
