Unrequited love from a boy | Coming of age
Liang Sijian first met her on a winter day when she was seventeen.
At the time, Lu Yiran was struggling with anxiety brought on by academic pressure and her relationships with others.
Carrying a heavy stack of books, Lu Yiran followed her teacher's instructions and went to the empty seat beside him.
Nervous and uneasy, she looked at the boy before her, who had just been woken up and was scowling, unsure what to say.
But the boy stared at her face for a few seconds, then cleared the clutter from the empty desk and casually reached out to take the heavy books from her arms.

At the New Year's Eve party during their senior year, the students were all incredibly excited and had prepared plenty of games.
But somewhere along the way, someone lost control and started smearing the whipped cream props on other people's faces.
Even Lu Yiran, sitting near the corner, got caught up in it. Her friend dragged her over to the bowl of whipped cream, and she joined in the chaos.
After finally getting her revenge despite all the resistance, Lu Yiran laughed with delight, completely unaware that someone was standing behind her.
As Lu Yiran stepped back, she ran straight into Liang Sijian, who was standing behind her.
He looked at her radiant smile and the whipped cream she'd just smeared on her fingers. A second later, he obediently bent down.
When Lu Yiran still didn't move, he smiled, his eyes curving, and asked in a teasing voice, “Why did you stop?”
