Xu Yan's fortunes took a turn for the worse in high school: he went from being ranked first in his grade to second.
From then on, he became the perennial runner-up.
His new high school deskmate, Jiang Ze, seemed like he'd come straight from the Arctic.
Outside of answering questions in class, he usually said no more than three sentences a day.
What made Xu Yan angriest was that his throne as the top student in the grade had been stolen.
But...
Some time later...
Jiang Ze: "I'm gay."
Xu Yan's inner thoughts: "What?! And I've been hanging out with him like that all this time?! I'm not gay!"
Some more time later...
Xu Yan: "Actually... I like you."
Jiang Ze: "Then let's get together."
And some more time later...
Xu Yan left, walking away from him.
All he left behind was a book
and a book signing.
"In Huinan's The River, it says, 'A great soul must be buried within an empty shell. It is this soul that gives the body life.'"
The first time they met again, six years later:
"A heart's chance of beating for you is one in ten million. Every moment is you..."
Xu Yan...
Jiang Ze...
They would write that fairy tale, left unfinished for six years, once more...
