The boyishness had long since left the man. Now impeccably dressed in a suit, he had handsome, cold features. He pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, his gaze sharp through the lenses. Zhou Yin didn't dare meet his eyes. "A red umbrella, a raincoat, a monster, a mask, Q. That's all I remember." Jiang Zhun gave a scoffing laugh, his gaze careless. "You told the investigators those same things ten years ago. Is that all?" "No!" She drew a deep breath. "I also saw you." - Ten years ago, Zhou Yin had fallen for that aloof, distinguished boy. Her passionate crush was common knowledge at school, and someone mocked her: "Jiang Zhun can't even be bothered to look at you." Zhou Yin smiled slyly. "Geniuses appreciate one another. You wouldn't understand! Jiang Zhun actually loves looking at me, don't you, Jiang Zhun?" Jiang Zhun didn't answer. The person went on, "How embarrassing. I told you, Jiang Zhun can't be bothered to look at you." At last, the boy who had been bent over his work looked up and answered seriously, "It's not embarrassing. I love looking at her."
