Fei Chuan glanced at the shops lining the street. The once unfamiliar road was slowly becoming recognizable. Just around the corner stood their old elementary school. He couldn't help but reminisce.
"I know school was boring. But with you around, it never felt that way. I had more knowledge than you back then, since I was educated early with the best resources. You, on the other hand, were mostly self-taught. But when you encountered something new, you absorbed it eagerly. Talking to you was never dull. Being in the same class with you was fun. For the first time, I felt a connection—something I never found with my peers. You were the one who changed me. You made me feel alive again."
Bei Sangyun was touched by his heartfelt words. She had never realized she held such an important role in his life so early on.
"I... I never thought you saw me that way. I always believed you hated my guts."
