The new school year began at Yang County No. 2 High School, and a transfer student was already the talk of the town. People said his family owned a mine, that he was rich and handsome, and that he had transferred to this backwater county from a big city.
A few boys gathered around a table to gossip: “I heard he was transferred here from a mental hospital. Schools in the big cities wouldn’t take him, so they sent him to ours to lie low.”
Lu Xingyun thought this sort of pointless gossip was less useful than getting them to hand in their summer homework already.
That afternoon, Lu Xingyun met the rumored lunatic. No, the new student. He thought he might as well have joined his classmates in discussing the boy, if only because then he might have been better prepared to escape the lunatic who had clung to him so tightly, repeating his name over and over in his ear.
After five years in the apocalypse, Hong Ye had never imagined how absurd the real world, returned to its proper course, would feel. Only when he saw you again did he feel safe, because once more, a star was there to light his way.
