Ever since she was little, she had been a very quiet girl.
Whenever her mother asked her to greet the relatives at New Year, she would stay silent. Even her mother's scolding did no good, until the relatives would say, "We're used to it, we're used to it. Xia Chun is just a little mute."
.
Wen Li was one of the most outstanding people in class. He got along with everyone and was like sunshine, never shy about approaching anyone.
So it was only natural that he would talk to her.
.
But it wasn't natural, either.
After all, she was the sort of ringleader who could make the atmosphere awkward just by standing in the classroom.
Wen Li asked her about her braces as they passed each other in the hallway. It was so sudden that Xia Chun froze for a long time before realizing he was really talking to her.
"It doesn't hurt," she said.
"Everyone around me says it hurts," he countered.
The air fell silent. Xia Chun didn't know what to say. Whether it hurt or not had nothing to do with him, and she didn't want to talk to him any longer, so she lowered her eyes and turned to leave.
"Hey." He made a questioning sound, stopping her.
She looked at him, a question in her eyes as well.
Wen Li studied her face, looking from top to bottom with a somewhat languid gaze. She tilted her head: What is it?
"Can you kiss with braces on?" he asked.
