Story Blurb:
-
On countless nights tortured by math olympiad problems, Yu Ning's parents comforted her:
"If you have to face setbacks, it would be better to have them in your studies than in love."
That made sense, too.
But why did she have to face both kinds of setbacks, and with the same person?
-
Unspoken warmth was the undertone of this unrequited love, but in the end, she left without saying goodbye.
The only thing left in her phone's notes app was:
"Since I'm going to suffer a setback in love anyway, I should at least get something out of it."
The scales of fate tipped in opposite directions.
"Congratulations to Yu Ning for making the national training team and earning a guaranteed admission to one of the top universities!"
-
At the beginning of their seventeenth year, the two reunited at Jungfrau.
Amid the excited exclamations of their foreign companion:
"You know each other? What a coincidence!"
Yang Yijin: "Yeah, it is."
Yu Ning: "Maybe."
Yang Yijin: ! (Thought: So that's how they found out...)
-
On the day of the college entrance exam, a girl who had already secured a university place showed up outside the school gate.
Coolly, she blocked the first person to leave the exam hall, planning to confess after Yang Yijin finished his interview.
"Did your dad or your mom come to pick you up today?" the reporter asked, looking around.
Yu Ning felt the gaze of the crowd turn toward her. Yang Yijin replied with certainty:
"My girlfriend."
