There's been a sensational rumor going around No. 1 High School lately.

Word is that Lin Chuniang, who has been crowned campus belle for three years running, is dating Lu Zhuo, the infamous delinquent from No. 3 High School.

But when everyone sees Lin Chuniang's clear, round eyes, they immediately dismiss the rumor as fake.

A few months later, though, someone spots Lin Chuniang running out of the little woods behind the school at dusk, eyes red and swollen, and throwing herself into Lu Zhuo's arms.

Worried that Lin Chuniang is being bullied, a classmate is about to step in, but then sees Lu Zhuo, the delinquent everyone fears, soften his gaze and gently hold her, soothing her in a quiet voice.

-

The cold, aloof boy lives like a rat in the sewers, gloomy, selfish, and cruel. It seems every bad word could describe him.

But even so, Lin Chuniang follows close behind him, never letting him wander alone in the dark.

Lu Zhuo steels himself and pushes her out of his world again and again. Even as it tears him apart, he doesn't want the muck on him to stain his little moon.

-

Lin Chuniang has known since childhood that the older boy living in the run-down house across the street is especially handsome. But he wears a shabby school uniform every day, often has bruises on his face, and none of the other children want to play with him.

She carefully protects him, preserving his fragile self-esteem.

Only when she finds the boy who had quietly disappeared a year earlier and brings him back does she understand.

In this world, some people are swept up in material desires, while others fight desperately just to survive.

○ Next story: Back to Before He Died

"Sixteen years ago, I moved with my parents from the south of the city to Shuiwei Lane. More than five thousand eight hundred days and nights have passed since then, and every moment of it, I've been grateful to have met you."

It takes Shi Yue a full ten minutes after receiving this letter to remember who the name Jiang Wang, signed at the bottom, belongs to.

She first met Jiang Wang at her family's clinic. The boy was around ten, pale and frail, with long, narrow eyes that were cold and emotionless. Whenever his icy gaze fell on her, she couldn't help feeling uneasy.

She never imagined that someone so grim would write a letter confessing his love for her before he died.

-

After waking from a nap, Shi Yue finds herself back at age ten. Jiang Wang, a year older than her, has just moved to Shuiwei Lane with his parents.

The fifth-grade boy is distant and taciturn, with a maturity far beyond his years.

At that point, the last days of his life are still sixteen years away.

Sixteen years is a long time. There are still so many things she can change.

-

Shi Yue has had a sweet, well-behaved face since childhood, with graceful features and bright eyes. She doesn't look the least bit intimidating.

But with a soft, gentle personality like hers, once she gets stubborn, she's as hard to shake off as sticky candy.

Seventeen-year-old Jiang Wang looks at the girl blocking his way for what must be the hundredth time and frowns in exasperation. "Shi Yue, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

He admits he raised his voice a little, but he never expected the girl's eyes to turn red at once.

"Jiang Wang, you big liar! How dare you snap at me? When you grew up, you wrote me a letter saying you liked me!"

Jiang Wang: "..."

-A love that goes both ways-
