Shan Xue lost a photo booth strip of herself. She liked it a lot, so she posted a notice online asking for help finding it. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and she'd more or less given up hope. Then, less than three hours after she posted, someone sent her a private message.
A user called Crispy Cone Fish messaged her: I picked up your photo strip by chance. I saw your post and realized how anxious you are to get it back. I'm really sorry.
No need to apologize. This was the most astonishingly wonderful news ever!
Shan Xue immediately arranged a time and place to meet. When she learned the other person was a high school classmate, she became even more enthusiastic.
But... she didn't know the other person's name.
Shan Xue fidgeted for ages, looking all around. After working up her courage for a long time, she finally asked, "What was your name again?"
Her smile grew stiffer and stiffer as she sensed that the other person might not be too happy.
Cui Tongyu smiled faintly and shook her head. "My name is Cui Tongyu. It's normal that you don't remember."
Back in high school, Shan Xue had been like a demon king, wreaking havoc everywhere. If her mother hadn't dragged her to cram school, she probably wouldn't even have gotten into college.
She had only ever seen the name Cui Tongyu at the top of the school's rankings. She'd never actually seen the girl herself.
As they say, you may hear of a top student without ever meeting them.
The mystery lasted until the day Cui Tongyu returned her photo strip.
It's never too late for people meant to meet to get to know each other.

Shan Xue bit her lip, moving the claw with her left hand and pressing the button at just the right moment with her right.
The next second, the plush toy was lifted into the air once more, then dropped again.
Shan Xue began to question her life. Why could Cui Tongyu win a prize, while Shan Xue had tried more than ten times and couldn't get a single one? Cui Tongyu had only managed to win one lonely little prize, but Shan Xue still refused to give up!
One more try!
She tried several more times in a row, but the plush toys kept falling back down.
Cui Tongyu couldn't bear to watch anymore. "Want me to try? The one I got earlier was probably just a lucky fluke."
That made Shan Xue feel even more hopeless. Did that mean she had neither luck nor skill?
Why would Heaven treat someone who loved life this way? It wasn't fair!
