It was the starting point of fifth number bus of Wenzhou High School. The school bus was already waiting for students. Wen Kexing and his little sister Gu Xiang walked towards the bus. Gu Xiang was walking fast but Wen Kexing walked lazily. Cao Weining came at that time riding on his uncle's scooter. They meet in front of the bus. Wen Kexing waved his hand to Can Weining and said hello to his uncle. Gu Xiang and Cao Wenning got into the bus first.

Cao Weining's uncle asked, "Why are you still sleepy?"

Wen Kexing replied with his half opened eyes, "I couldn't properly sleep last night and I had to wake up early for the school. That's why I look like this."

"You will be okay after taking rest in the bus. You should go now."

"Bye uncle." Wen Kexing got into the bus. Cao Weining and Gu Xiang was already seated. They were happily chatting. Wen Kexing slapped Gu Xiang's head and made a face. Then he said, "Cao Weining, why are you always talking to my sister?" Gu Xiang made a face in return.

"Why do you bother today? Where is your Zhou Zishu?" Cao Weining asked and scanned the whole bus. There should be total fourteen students from that stop. But Zhou Zishu and his little brother were still not there. The bus was waiting for those two.

Wen Kexing sat on a window seat grumpily without replying.

Cao Weining asked again, "Did they take leave today?"

"How could I know?" Wen Kexing answered. The lack of sleep made him more irritated. Last night he could not stop thinking about Zhou Zishu, as a result could not sleep.

"Did you fight with him?" Cao Weining asked teasingly.

Wen Kexing got angry and shouted, "What the f...." He stopped when he saw Zhou Zishu and his brother Zhang Chengling. His lips curled up instantly.

As they got in Chengling went to sit beside a window. Zhou Zishu angrily said, "I will sit there. You sit beside me."

Wen Kexing said, "Why are you always mean to your brother? Chengling come sit here." He left the window seat to Chengling and sat beside him.

"As if you are not mean to your sister," Zhou Zishu snorted and looked outside the window. The bus was already moving.

He was dying to talk to Zhou Zishu but did not want to show that. He started chatting with Chengling but glanced at Zhou Zishu time to time. They studied in different classes and could only meet during the bus journey. Wen Kexing always looked forward to those times when he could see Zhou Zishu and talk to him. But Zhou Zishu always looked indifferent.

Cao Weining and Gu Xiang were still chatting and Wen Kexing could no longer tolerate that. He angrily shouted, "Cao Weining! Why do you talk so much?"

"Me? Talking too much?" Cao Weining was frustrated. It was obvious that Wen Kexing talked much more than he but he did not want to fight with Wen Kexing, especially not in front of Gu Xiang. He decided to ignore that lovesick Wen Kexing. He knew that Wen Kexing was mad only because of Zhou Zishu.

Wen Kexing asked Chengling about his family. Chengling talked about it with great enthusiasm. Wen Kexing asked in detail and Chengling took out some family photographs to show him. Wen Kexing smiled when he found a childhood photo of Zhou Zishu. Cao Weining and Gu Xiang laughed when they noticed the expression on Wen Kexing's face.

Cao Weining whispered, "Your brother has become crazy about him."

Gu Xiang smiled and replied, "But the person he likes is a class topper. He is even good in sports. What I got is an idiot like you."

Cao Weining was shocked by the last part of her speech. Despite being called idiot he was extremely happy. It's not that Cao Weining was an idiot, he was intelligent and his performance was good in every subject. But Gu Xiang liked to call him idiot and Cao Weining never objected. But for the first time Gu Xiang said that she got him. Cao Weining felt himself lucky to get Gu Xiang.

After school Wen Kexing tried his best to get into the bus early. His intension was to sit beside Zhou Zishu. But unfortunately his class was the last to leave the classroom. As a result the seat beside Zhou Zishu was already occupied by someone else. From their return journey from school Cao Weining, Gu Xiang and Chengling always sat with their classmates. But as soon as their friends reached their stop Gu Xiang would change her seat and sit beside Cao Weining.

Wen Kexing was waiting impatiently for the stoppage of the boy sitting beside Zhou Zishu. He jumped to reach the seat as soon as the boy stood up from his seat. Zhou Zishu was looking outside the window and ignored Wen Kexing.

But the other person grabbed his hand and said, "Wow, your watch is beautiful."

He kept admiring the watch for long time. Zhou Zishu became impatient and said, "Are you not done?"

"No, let me look at the details," Wen Kexing replied, he had no intention to leave Zhou Zishu's hand.

Zhou Zishu said, "If you want to look at the watch take it in your hands and let go my hand."

"No, it's better this way." Wen Kexing moved closer to Zhou Zishu who became stiff. Later he tried to free his hand but could not. He repeatedly asked Wen Kexing to let go but he did not listen to him. Zhou Zishu had no other choice than apply force. Soon they started fighting (not literally, Zishu tried to free his hand but Kexing did not let him). The auntie on duty asked them to stop fighting.

They stopped fighting but Wen Kexing did not leave Zhou Zishu's hand. Zhou Zishu rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you want?"

Wen Kexing blurted out, "You?"

"What?"

"Nothing..... I just...." Wen Kexing did not know what to say.

"If you want to hold my hand, you should say that clearly. Why are you making excuses?" Zhou Zishu said and freed his hand from the dumbfounded Wen Kexing.

Wen Kexing regained his senses and asked, "Can I really do that?"

"What?"

"Can I really hold your hand?" Wen Kexing asked.

"No!" Zhou Zishu replied with fake anger.

"But I want to." Wen Kexing held Zishu's hand and Zhou Zishu did not resist. Gu Xiang and Cao Weining secretly laughed and kept talking in low voices. Wen Kexing slowly interlocked his fingers with Zhou Zishu's. Zhou Zishu looked outside with an expressionless face. No one knew that his heart was actually beating like a drum.
