Several buildings at Jiangcheng No. 1 High caused a huge commotion that year.
"Hey! Have you heard that the school leaders raped students?"
"No way! There's bullying in the boys' dorms too! I thought we'd seen the last of it after the girls' dorm got a warning."
"Ugh... I heard there's something wrong with the school cafeteria. I've started feeling sick just thinking about it."
"Have you heard about the lab? Yikes, just thinking about it makes me shudder."
Students all over the school whispered about it, and the reputation of the best school in the city plummeted. Those who could transfer left one after another. Those who couldn't had no choice but to accept their fate, or drop out.
But Bai Qing's family wasn't worried in the slightest, and had no plans to transfer him. Given his family's circumstances, he could transfer to any school, anytime.
Perhaps the fundamental reason was that he wanted to stand and fight alongside him.
"There's no absolute warmth or cold, no absolute darkness. Everything is relative. But time will give us a satisfying answer." Xu Ningxing paused, unable to finish his next sentence. Bai Qing naturally "stole" the rest of his answer.
"Time will reverse the proportions and restore everything to its proper order."
The two boys looked into each other's eyes, then broke into laughter, completely at ease.

Content warnings:
1. A lot of it may not be realistic. I wrote it without thinking things through, so there may be plenty of things I made up.
2. Strong characters on both sides. The shou is sensitive, but truly resilient.
3. No angst in the romance, but the plot and setting have some heartbreak.
