Before he was eight, Bian Xu thought his father was dead. After he turned eight, he figured his father's only use was keeping him out of an orphanage. Still, though he was living under someone else's roof, he had enough to eat and wear. He liked the name his mother had given him better.
His classmates said he was gentle but hard to approach. His friends teased him for being soft-spoken but ruthless. His "family" called him ungrateful. Only Lou Mingdu thought he was a poor little thing.
Bian Xu knew only this:
Never let an insult go unanswered.
And
If you want something, go after it. If you want someone, wait patiently.
Lou Mingdu had a happy family and friends everywhere. He was always rescuing cats, dogs, and children. Life had always gone smoothly for him, and so far his only regret was that when he was thirteen, he twisted his ankle and ran a little too slowly...
Lou Mingdu: I should've never gone to play that stupid ball game!
