The summer she was twelve, Guan Yuqing lost everything. That same summer, she met Lu Yinchao.
The first time they met, he was cornered by a group of thugs. Guan Yuqing rescued him.
The second time, he was helping a group of suspects traffic people. Guan Yuqing bit him.
The third time, he became her deskmate. Guan Yuqing drew a boundary between them.
By high school, Lu Yinchao had made a name for himself and was at the height of his popularity. His good looks alone were enough to get him anything he wanted.
Meanwhile, Guan Yuqing suddenly became well-behaved: an attentive, obedient, model student. They were worlds apart and barely interacted. Nobody would ever connect the two of them.
Then someone lost their wallet, and everyone began to suspect Guan Yuqing. Lu Yinchao kicked over a desk for her, got into a fight, and was disciplined for it.
Everyone chattered about how he shouldn't have gone so far over such a small thing. Lu Yinchao exploded again, and his voice rang out over the school broadcast: "Such a small thing? Try being falsely accused yourself!"
From middle school through high school, from the countryside to the city, Lu Yinchao was always by her side. Quiet and seemingly indifferent to everything, he still kept pulling her back, supporting her, and warning her time and again.
But when the college entrance exams ended, so did they.
