At their high school graduation reunion seven years later, everyone remembered Tian Yuan as the nice guy who brought breakfast for Xu Yi and his girlfriend all through their senior year.

They asked, "Tian Yuan, did you ever work up the nerve to confess to Xu Yi after the college entrance exams?"

"We were just classmates helping each other out. I never thought of him that way."

Tian Yuan smiled faintly, his hands clenched into fists beneath the table.

Who was Xu Yi? He'd topped the girls' dorm late-night gossip list for years. Back in the day, he was the city's top scorer on the college entrance exam, and now he was a hotshot tech entrepreneur.

As for the fact that he'd once been Tian Yuan's deskmate in their senior year, no one remembered anymore.

Xu Yi was away on a business trip in a neighboring city and couldn't attend the reunion. Someone suggested that everyone text Xu Yi using the same template, including their names, and see who he replied to first.

Tian Yuan hesitated, reluctant, until an acquaintance snatched his phone and sent:

Seven years apart, but our friendship endures.

Former classmates, reunited once more.

Looking forward to seeing you and reliving old times.

^_^ Tian Yuan

Come join us, don't be late!

Once the messages had been sent, everyone laid their phones out on the table and waited for a reply.

Before long, one phone lit up with three consecutive messages:

XY: Honey?

XY: You finally took me off your blacklist.

XY: I'm coming over now. Wait for me.
