At the opening ceremony, I fell into the pond chasing a balloon and was fished out by Shen Yan who was passing by.
When the ink on his shirt cuffs stained my cheeks, I choked and shouted "Thank you, teacher".
The whole school knows that Shen Yan, who is in his second year of high school, is the flower of the mountains and ranks first in his grade all year round.
A week later in the library, he took away the "Five-year College Entrance Examination" from my hand: "The way I fell into the water that day..."
I was dying of shame and anger, but he laughed softly: "It's like a spring water."
Later he always used this metaphor to tease me.
"Xiao Man, your eyes seem to be filled with spring water."
"Xiao Man, the sound of your name sounds like pebbles falling into spring water."
On graduation day, he trapped me in the backstage of the auditorium: "What should I do? I seem to be stuck in this spring water and can't get out."
