After the college entrance exams, Xia Qihan asked Shen Lizhi, looking casually lazy, which school she wanted to attend.
When she answered, he just said, "Oh."
Shen Lizhi assumed the young master had merely felt like making small talk on a whim.
The night before they submitted their college applications, Xia Qihan was forced to go abroad. Before boarding the plane, he took one last look at the few schools he'd picked in his notes, all close to Shen Lizhi's, hovered his finger for a few seconds, then tapped delete.
He probably just wasn't that lucky.
Just like at the last mock exam of senior year, when the school assigned exam rooms based on the previous results for convenience:
The name of the person who tied with him came earlier alphabetically, so they got seat 30, the last seat in Shen Lizhi's exam room.
He got seat 31.
During the years across the ocean, he never once ate the red-shelled, white-fleshed fruit.
Lychees go perfectly with the height of summer, but his name had to include the word "cold."

On the day of her university graduation photos, Shen Lizhi saw a car by the campus gate and thought it looked vaguely familiar.
Before she could get a closer look, a classmate called her, so she hurriedly turned around and went to pose by the next landmark.
Later, Shen Lizhi saw a photo on Xia Qihan's phone. In it, she stood by the campus gate in her graduation gown, looking at the camera through the traffic and crowd.
The man who took the picture was sitting beside her now, his long, jade-like fingers holding a glistening white lychee to her lips.
In the same lazy tone he had used as a boy, he said, "Shen Lizhi, open your mouth."
