Bite Marks

The day after she and Chou Ye received a school-wide disciplinary notice, the rain fell in a steady drizzle at five-thirty in the morning. As usual, Tan Siyu appeared in her cramped, dim rental apartment. His shirt cuffs were rolled up. On his lean, strong wrist was the ridiculously expensive watch she had given him for his sixteenth birthday two years ago. He spoke in a cool, low voice: "What's so attractive about him?" Leaning against the windowsill, Guan Shutong folded his perfect-score exam paper into a paper airplane with her slender, pale fingers. Eyes lowered, she worked carefully and seriously, but her tone was casual. "Maybe it's the thrill." The paper airplane flew out the window, battered by the rain before landing on the ground. Chou Ye showed up outside her building ahead of schedule. In a flash, a large hand clamped onto the back of her head and pressed her forehead against the misty window. She watched Chou Ye pick up the paper airplane. At the same time, Tan Siyu's breath teased her eardrum. His parting words were pretty thrilling, too: "Fine, Guan Shutong. I'll give you something even more exciting to play with."

Just standing there and beckoning with a finger is enough to send countless girls rushing after him, ready to fly into the flames like moths. On a stormy evening, Yun Jingyi watches him play basketball from the stands. The chocolate shell of her ice cream crunches between her teeth, while the milky filling melts, slick and wet, on her red lips. Thunder rolls in the heavy sky, and the hot wind tugs at his shirt. His broad hands grip the ball, the tendons and bones on the backs of them sharply defined. He's overflowing with hormones. At the moment he happens to glance her way, she licks the milky residue from her lips. Her boyfriend beside her invites her to dinner. No, the moment he opens his mouth, he's already her ex. Yun Jingyi turns him down, saying she has to host the evening anonymous-letter segment at the campus radio station. The accident happens twenty minutes later. "1611, I miss you so much..." A sweet female voice pauses, with the faintest hint of a smile. "The way you sweat all over me." The broadcast rings out across campus as Xi Wei jumps up and shoots. A clean, handsome three-pointer lands. "Tweet!" The final whistle shrills, and the crowd erupts in deafening cheers. But all he hears is the dog whistle she blows over the radio. Theme: FOR FREEDOM
