You finally know what the Milk Way is.

The candlelight shined onto Pang Qian’s youthful face. In front of her, Gu Mingxi closed his eyes and made a wish. Then he opened his eyes and blew out the candles.

His classmates all cheered out as Pang Qian cut the cake. Each student and teacher all got a piece. After the cake was distributed, she fed a piece to Gu Mingxi. In front of so many people, Gu Mingxi felt a bit embarrassed. But with Pang Qian’s glimmering eyes staring at him, he finally opened his mouth and ate the cake off the fork.

Pang Qian giggled as she asked, “Does it taste good?”

Gu Mingxi looked a bit bashfully. He nodded, “Yeah.”

Pang Qian was very pleased, “We did a good job acting! You didn’t suspect anything at all, right?”

Gu Mingxi, “…”

Zhou Nanzhong pat Gu Mingxi’s shoulder. “Bro, sorry about earlier when we sprayed you with the water guns. It was Crab’s rotten idea.”

“Rotten idea?! If we didn’t do that, how could we trick Gu Mingxi to go to his room on his own?!” Pang Qian said with dissatisfaction. “All of Gu Mingxi’s and my birthdays have been during summer break, so we’ve never celebrated with classmates before. It just happened that this trip happened at the same time as his birthday (on the Western calendar). So of course, I had to help him celebrate.”

Wang Song teased her, “Crab, since you care so much about his birthday, during our bonfire party later, you should dance for Gu Mingxi.”

Pang Qian scoffed at him, “Fine, it’s just a dance. Who’s scared of that?”

After dinner, the staff lit up a bonfire in an open area and put on some music. The group of students sat down around the fire, and Jiang Zhiya, who was the arts and literature committee member and had a beautiful voice, led the group in a song.

A lot of people sang along with her. Later on, the music became more cheerful and several students bravely stood up, held hands, and danced together around the fire. As they danced, more people joined them. Even Teacher Dai was dragged in by Jiang Zhiya.

Since Pang Qian sat in the corner of the room and her grades were at the bottom of the class, she wasn’t very close with the rest of her class, just like when junior high first started. The people she was most friendly with were probably Zhou Nanzhong, Wang Song, and her physical education partner, Li Xiaoyan. But at that moment, against the light of the fire, seeing both the familiar and unfamiliar faces, Pang Qian felt very touched.

Most of Class 2’s students would continue on to the advanced class, except for eight of nine students, who would be split up into other classrooms. After this summer break, they’d go their separate ways. This might be the only time in their lives that they cross paths. Pang Qian turned to look at Gu Mingxi beside her. He sat with his knees up, chin on his knees, watching everyone else singing and dancing. As the flames danced and sparkled in his eyes, a slight smile on his lips, Pang Qian suddenly felt a tug at her heart.

She stood up and dusted off her bottom. “Gu Mingxi, let’s dance together.”

Gu Mingxi lifted his head to look at her, his eyes filled with uncertainty. Pang Qian pat his shoulders, “Get up, we’ll dance together.”

Gu Mingxi didn’t refuse again. He stood up and together with Pang Qian, walked into the circle of people. Pang Qian turned with the music and smiled as she said, “Come on, let’s dance. It’s easy.”
