Chen Jing had once crossed paths with him. By chance, she learned that he was also a high school sophomore this year, named Xiang Xinsheng.
After every class, she could always pick him out in the sea of people, carefree and uninhibited, his smile bright and dazzling as the summer sun.
Unlike her, an antisocial nobody, a self-loathing coward who only dared to live in the sewer.
They were worlds apart and had never known each other. But on the night before school started, Chen Jing was cornered by a gang of girls in Dark Sun Alley. Unable to fight back, she was in danger when a boy as bright as the sun came hurrying to her rescue.
He drove off the bullies.
Backlit, he leaned down slightly and offered a hand to the girl fallen on the ground.
"Don't be afraid."
Chen Jing remained silent. After a long while, her trembling hand clasped his.
"Thank you."
