Follow @Ku Si Bu Shi Tu Si for updates.] On the day the college entrance exams ended, Song Yu confessed to Jiang Tong. The shy young man held out a bouquet of sunflowers and said, “I’ve liked you for a long time.” Song Yu was the school’s famous top student and heartthrob, as well as Jiang Tong’s high school classmate. Jiang Tong accepted the flowers and said yes. Their other friend, Chen Zijian, was leaning against the wall. He tugged at his collar and fanned himself twice, sweat running down from his temple. Chen Zijian lifted the corner of his mouth in a smile. “I hope you two stay together forever. Just don’t forget I’m still your buddy now that you’re a couple.” - In high school, Chen Zijian was always getting into trouble, much to the teachers’ dismay. Jiang Tong didn’t think he was that bad, since they were friends back then. Chen Zijian would play ball on scorching days without bringing water, making Jiang Tong buy some and bring it to him. Sometimes he would snatch Jiang Tong’s homework to copy. If he wasn’t wearing his uniform and was afraid of getting caught, he would put on Jiang Tong’s jacket, even though it was too short on him. After the college entrance exams, Chen Zijian went to the local police academy. Jiang Tong and Song Yu went to university in a city hundreds of kilometers from home. As the years went by, they rarely kept in touch. It seemed they hadn’t kept their promise to “not forget him.” Years later, Jiang Tong learned that Song Yu was about to get engaged to his childhood sweetheart. After a huge fight and breakup, Jiang Tong went traveling to clear his head. He didn’t expect to get caught in a massive snowstorm, with the roads blocked for hours, then run into an emergency. Several police officers needed to borrow a car and a first-aid kit. Amid the commotion on the bus, Jiang Tong crouched in front of the first-aid kit. And Chen Zijian, dressed in his police uniform, came in from the snowstorm. Theme: Pay attention to the people around you who truly care about you.
