nEveryone would always say that high school was an important phase of life, a turning point. At the same time, high school would always hold the most beautiful memories of one’s schooling phase.

nHowever, it was the exact opposite for Shi Guang.

nShe lost her beloved parents in junior high school. At the same time, her sister had turned into a vegetable. Alongside her grandmother and auntie, they had gone to the neighboring S City to live.

nHer auntie’s daughter, her cousin Mo Jin, had managed to qualify for a key high school in the provincial capital.

nThat summer, Shi Guang, who had just entered her year one in high school, came over to the provincial capital to look for her cousin. Standing at a small store in front of the school, she waited patiently for her cousin to end her lessons.

nOn the left of the small store was Mo Jin’s senior high school, Number One High School.

nOn the right was the Righteous Morals High School.

nThese two schools were not on the same level. Righteous Morals High School was a school for high-end elite students. Those with an exceptional family background would end up heading directly over to Oxford, Harvard, and Massachusetts, et cetera. As for those that were from a weaker background, the likes of Tsinghua, Peking, and Renmin were still available for their picking.

nWhile both schools existed on the same street, one of them faced North and the other, South. Only, this slight difference in geography meant a world of a difference within.

nAfter waiting for quite some time, Shi Guang did not manage to wait out for her cousin. Checking the time, she noticed that it seemed to be a little while more before lessons would end. Hence, she decided to walk around the vicinity.

nIn a little alleyway, there were some unknown little white flowers.

nShi Guang was not someone with a particular fondness for flowers, but her sister was. With that, she thought of plucking out some of them to place them in her sister’s ward after returning.

nPeering through the metal fences of the school, she could hear a series of distant cheers. Some of the tall and handsome male students of the Righteous Morals High School were playing basketball in the court surrounded by a huge crowd of girls.

n“Jiayou! XXX! Jiayou!”

n“Wow! Kou Lan is so handsome!”

n“Senior! I love you!”

n…

nEven though she was quite a distance away from them, Shi Guang could make out just how loud their voices were. If she were any bit closer, her ears might have probably even hurt from the intensity of it. One could probably even go deaf from all that noise!

nEnjoying the game of basketball along with the idolization of these girls toward them, the boys were only getting heated up by the second.

nAll of a sudden, someone missed a shot and sent the ball bouncing in Shi Guang’s direction. A young, muscular teenager wearing a singlet ran over in the direction of the ball.

nAfter picking it up, he did not return right away. Instead, he went beneath the tree and asked, “Lu Yanchen, are you really not going to play?”

nIt was only at this moment that Shi Guang had noticed the fact that she wasn’t alone where she was! There was someone else near the fences.

nUnderneath a huge tree inside the fences stood a young man. Tall and elegant, he gave off a striking disposition. Yet, his aura was somewhat lonely. Shaking his head toward the muscular young teenager, his expression was one that was lacking interest.

n“It’s such a hot day! The best way to feel good is to sweat it all out!” The muscular teenager mumbled before leaving to continue with the game.

nThe other young man called Lu Yanchen then leaned back and slumped against the tree. Wearing the uniform of Righteous Morals High School, his hands were stuck deep into his pockets as he donned a white peaked cap on his head. The cap was pulled down really, really low, such that his eyes were totally covered. The only things that could be made out were his highly arched nose bridge, tender lips, and that exquisite, sharp jawline of his.

nAs though he had sensed the gaze of someone else, he turned his head over.

nCaught by surprise, Shi Guang wanted to dodge her gaze away. But, it was all too late as her eyes met with another pair of eyes, one that was dark and mysterious.

nHer heart was skipping erratically right now as though she had just done something bad that she wanted to hide away from! In that instant, her entire body jerked as she felt a burning flush fill her entire face.

nUnlike her, that boy whose name was Lu Yanchen showed no signs of emotion in his gaze. Looking at her calmly for a few seconds, he shifted his gaze away…
