Meng Xiran said, "High school was when I went from being repressed to cheerful, and also when I went from being carefree to quiet."
She said, "I thought I had a really good friend and a really good desk mate behind me, but... I don't know why things ended up turning out that way. I really couldn't control it... I even got really depressed for a while..."
During the summer after the college entrance exam, Meng Xiran began dreaming frequently of the same person, someone she'd never seen before. Then, on the day she went to register for the new term, she saw that familiar figure...
Gu Nanfeng said, "Do you not even see me?"
"Meng Xiran, could you turn around and look at me? I'm not so tall that you can't bear to look at me, am I?"
That day, Meng Xiran invited Gu Nanfeng to dinner. They happened to run into some high school classmates having a meal together, so they joined their table. That's when they discovered that Chen Jiaqiao and Su Xiaomo were there too...
After dinner, as they walked back to school, Gu Nanfeng angrily walked through the school gate alone.
Meng Xiran caught his sleeve. "I'm sorry. Seeing them just brought back some memories... I didn't mean to ignore you."
Gu Nanfeng turned around. "Is that what I'm upset about? Meng Xiran, is your old high school desk mate the only person in your heart? What am I to you? A backup? Or some so-called soulmate?"
Meng Xiran remembered that the first time she got drunk, she seemed to have kissed someone.
The next day, Gu Nanfeng grabbed her wrist and pinned her into a corner of the stairwell, making her look up at him. "Don't you think you owe me an explanation about last night? You kiss me and then pretend it never happened, huh?"
