That spring ten years ago was a memory Qi Heng could never erase.
That was also the year Qi Heng transferred to No. 2 High School.
Looking at the unfamiliar streets and the people coming and going, Qi Heng couldn't suppress his irritation.
A glance to the side revealed a small alley. As he walked, he reached into his pocket for his lighter and cigarettes.
The lighter was gone.
Qi Heng put the cigarettes back in his pocket and leaned against the wall, head bowed, looking utterly dejected.
"Just my luck..." he sighed almost inaudibly.
Suddenly, a pair of Martin boots appeared in his line of sight. He looked up and saw a radiant face before him.
In his later years, when Qi Heng recalled the first time he met Yuan Xiao, he described her like this:
It was as if sunlight had cast a dazzling halo over everything sealed in ice.
The wind brushed past his ear, and the branches and leaves swayed. It made him feel that spring that year wasn't quite so cold after all.
Because he had met her.
From then on, spring returned to the land, and all things flourished without end.
Yuan Xiao made him believe that love at first sight, lasting a lifetime, really existed.
In that moment, with just one glance, the rest of his life may have been set in place.
Theme: Spring returns to the land, and all things come back to life.
