Five years ago, they were the campus's most beloved couple.
Five years later, they were strangers.
It all began on that night five years ago.
He came out of the bathroom bare-chested, the faint outlines of his toned muscles showing. A towel was wrapped around his waist, his hair was wet, and he carried the fresh scent unique to a young man. In the dim light, his sharp brow cast a small shadow over his eyelid. Tiny droplets gathered on his wet, straight brows and fell onto his eyelashes.
He looked at the little mound curled up beneath the blanket on the bed and smiled to himself. Then he lay down and hugged her through the covers. He felt her body stiffen and couldn't help smiling again.
Leaning close to her ear, he said in a husky voice, "Didn't you promise to grant me one wish? Then let me claim it today."
He stuck out his tongue and gently licked behind her ear. Her youthful scent drew him to explore lower. The girl in his arms trembled and resisted faintly. "Um... you can't..." His soft kisses fell on her collarbone and shoulder, then traveled lower...
The next morning, Rong Jin poked her little head out from under the covers. No one was beside her, and the pillow was cold. Panic seized Rong Jin, and her face turned deathly pale. She jumped straight out of bed. He wasn't on the balcony, in the bathroom, or in the living room! He was gone! All his things were gone too, and the fresh scent of the young man had vanished without a trace, as if he'd never been there...
Rong Jin dropped onto the steps, as if her soul had been pulled from her body. Her lovely little face was utterly pale. He'd just left me here alone and gone!
