"You bastard, you cheated on me! I hate you," Hong yelled at him in the corridor.

“No, you don't, you know you like me,” said Yunlan, calmly.

“Wang told me everything. You told her I had broken up with you! Well, you know what, your lie is coming true! I never want to see you again!” she yelled again.

“Come on baby, you know you want me, you know you like it, what I can do to you...” Yunlan said, all honey.

She looked taken aback for a second, the hint of a smile appeared on her face before she remembered to be angry, but she could not hide it.

“Well... you’ll have to be especially good to me to make me forgive you.”

“How about tonight?” he asked with a smirk.

Hong didn’t reply, she just turned around pouting and kept walking until she reached her friends, and when she reached them, they saw she was smiling.

Zhu Hong was very popular and had many friends, but Zhao Yunlan had always been her best friend. Their fathers worked together, and happy news for them, they were both transferred to Dragon City, so the kids didn’t get separated.

It would have broken their hearts, but they knew there wasn't a high chance of that happening because their parents were also friends, and very close, that's why they grew up together since they were little.

Yunlan looked at the people close by who had listened to their conversation and smiled too, before walking towards the school library. It was usually very quiet there, and he could study and relax, be himself without worry.

This time was no different, there were only a couple of students there, a younger girl and a guy with glasses. He paid them no attention whatsoever and sit by himself.

The next day they were together as always, they got the books they needed for the next lesson and started walking to their classroom.

"Oh I’m so sorry," said an unfamiliar voice after bumping into Yunlan making his books fall down.

The guy was tall, with a pair of glasses that gave him quite the intellectual look, and his voice was incredibly soft and kind. He immediately helped to pick up the books, despite Yunlan assured him that it was alright.

When he handed them to him, his hands held onto the books an instant too long, enough for Yunlan to look at him puzzled, but immediately he gave him a shy smile before raising a hand to adjust his glasses - that honestly didn’t look like they needed adjusting at all - then he lowered his gaze, murmured: “I’m really sorry,” and walked away hastily.

“Do you know who that is?” Yunlan asked Hong after his eyes had followed him until he had disappeared inside a class.

“Of course I know,” she said with a ‘duh’ tone of voice as if it was a stupid question. Yunlan rolled his eyes, how could she know everyone already? They came to this school at the same time!

“If you had a social life, you’d know too.”

She looked straight at him, this was something they often discussed about. She liked to party and meet new people and have many friends, while Yunlan seemed to dedicate his life to study. He wanted to make something of himself, he wanted to repay her mother of all the love she always gave him to compensate her husband.

It’s not that his father didn’t love him, it’s just that he didn’t really know how to communicate with him, so while he always made sure that his family had everything they might need, emotionally he seemed more distant than he really felt.
