I'll wait for the spring breeze to turn the willows green, for the sunset to paint the horizon, for the plum rain to fall, and for the day I can meet you... Hey! You there, stop! Don't you dare leave!
Zhao Yueluo: "Old Gong, sometimes I really envy you!"
Gong Xingchen: "Hmm?"
Zhao Yueluo: "I envy you for being someone I can keep liking, day after day."
[Blurb:] I wish to be like the stars, and you like the moon, shining together night after night.
Since becoming a counselor, Gong Xingchen had never met a student as shameless as Zhao Yueluo.
At the opening ceremony, he went out of his way to emphasize again and again that there was a difference between teachers and students, and that everyone at the college had to address him as Teacher Gong.
But Zhao Yueluo was a troublemaker who never took the rules seriously. Whenever she saw him, she would grin and call him "Old Gong."
Eventually, he had no choice but to reason with her patiently. "Zhao, we're not that far apart in age. I can't have you calling me Old Gong."
"No problem. Since you don't like that, I'll switch the words around and call you 'Gong the Old Man.' Do you like that?"
Like it, my ass! Gong Xingchen held back his temper, grinding his teeth inwardly. "One day, I'll make this troublemaker change the way she addresses me."
And later on, Zhao Yueluo really did stop calling him only "Old Gong." When they were in bed, she would rasp out and call him "beast."
