Zhong Yi first saw Xie Xiejia on the school rooftop.
Under the dim lights, he wore a white T-shirt, his expression indifferent as he leaned against the wall, playing on his phone. A girl stood in front of him, bright-eyed and black-haired, cheeks flushed as she confessed her feelings.

On graduation day, Zhong Yi finally worked up the courage to confess to him. She waited a long time at their agreed meeting place, but he never showed. Then, as she passed the school gate, she saw him coming out, with a girl skipping along behind him.

They met again one winter.
A part-time worker had canceled, and her friend dragged her along at the last minute to fill in. Beneath the heavy snowfall, she stood at the entrance in a thin dress, hugging herself and shivering.

The day they got together, Xie Xiejia had just broken up with the girlfriend he'd been with for four years. She thought the fervor of her love could warm his heart, but she never imagined that after her passion had been spent, she would hurt, too.
When the pain became unbearable, Zhong Yi chose to leave cleanly and decisively, cutting off all contact.
When their mutual friends asked, she smiled and said, "We parted on good terms."

The person who had once been so proud could have that pride shattered. Eyes red, he gripped her shoulders tightly and said, word by word, "Zhong Yi, who said we could part on good terms?"
