In high school, Shi Guang and Xie Xiaoshu were like two parallel lines. Even though they attended the same school, they somehow never crossed paths. Back then, Shi Guang was a freshman, while Xie Xiaoshu was a senior.
Later, by a remarkable coincidence, they attended the same university. This time, Shi Guang was a freshman and Xie Xiaoshu a junior.
Fated version: Shi Guang pointed to a photo in an album and asked her mother, "Mom, who’s this chubby little kid with a runny nose next to me?"
Her mother glanced at it and smiled. "You might have forgotten. He’s Auntie Xiao’s son. You two used to play together all the time when you were little. His name is Xie Xiaoshu."
Shi Guang: "..."
Shi Guang was five that year, and Xie Xiaoshu was seven.
Not-fated version: Xie Xiaoshu’s roommate, Ma Shengwen, was browsing the campus forum when he saw a post that was wildly popular. He clicked on it and found everyone eagerly discussing the looks of the incoming female freshmen. The three most popular were Ruan Yufei from the Media Studies Department, Shi Guang from the Architecture Department, and Lin Keke from the Medical School. The poster had dug up all three girls’ entrance exam scores and the high schools they had attended. Ma Shengwen realized that Shi Guang from the Architecture Department had gone to the same high school as Xie Xiaoshu, so he teased him, "Boss, Shi Guang from the Architecture Department is from your hometown, and she went to your high school. Could you two know each other?"
Xie Xiaoshu glanced up, his eyes emotionless, and replied mildly, "Who says you have to know someone just because you went to the same high school? You and Ma Yun both have the surname Ma. Do you know each other?"
Ma Shengwen: "..."
