Lin Xia had secretly loved Wen Jiangli since her second year of high school.
But Wen Jiangli was the top student in their grade, and she was as far beneath him as earth was beneath the clouds.
Her friend warned her, "You'd better bury those feelings deep inside."
Lin Xia thought so too.
Until she had a nightmare. She dreamed that on the day before the college entrance exams, Wen Jiangli jumped into a river to save someone and tragically drowned.
"I can't keep it buried anymore," Lin Xia told her friend.
The next day, she went to Wen Jiangli. "Can I be your little sidekick?"
Wen Jiangli looked at the girl before him, her expression resolute. "Why?"
"I can keep you safe," Lin Xia vowed.
"I see," Wen Jiangli said, folding his arms. "You want to be a temporary good-luck charm."
As he spoke, Wen Jiangli raised a hand and caught the basketball that was about to hit Lin Xia.
Lin Xia: "..."
The day before the college entrance exams, Wen Jiangli and Lin Xia went to the exam site together.
By the river, they came across a child who had accidentally fallen in.
Without a moment's hesitation, Lin Xia dropped her schoolbag, jumped into the river, and pulled the child out.
Wen Jiangli immediately jumped in after her, only to see the girl who had saved the child looking as thrilled as if she had saved the whole world.
"You don't know. I didn't just save one person."
She had saved her whole world.
