What Meaning Does a World Without You Even Have?

Jiang Yun was a notorious repeat student at Jiangnan Town's key high school. Rumor had it he'd been expelled for fighting the year before. He was said to be better at scaling walls than walking through doors, and to treat everyone with a devil-may-care attitude. Then he met his new deskmate, Chen Siqi. She blushed when he gave her half a piece of bread, hid behind the curtains to cry when people gossiped about her, and slipped three coins into his palm, saying, “For the bread.” Jiang Yun thought she was a pain. But his actions were more honest than his words: He stood up for her, brought her snacks, carried her books, and even brought back an extra serving of fried rice noodles when he climbed over the wall to buy some. Zhao Lei sighed in exasperation. “Yun, you've changed.” Jiang Yun spun his pen, glancing from the corner of his eye at the girl beside him with puffed-out cheeks. He replied nonchalantly: “Changed how? I just can't stand seeing people bully her.” Yeah. He really just couldn't stand it.
