…
It's still scorching hot in northern Beijing in September, and the temperature hasn't cooled down yet. Cicadas are hiding in the branches, chirping in long, hoarse voices.
In this warm season, Beijing Academy of Fine Arts welcomes the start of the new school year.
Most of the new students who came to report were accompanied by their parents. Expensive luxury cars drove by one after another, and the luggage that was too heavy to lift was pressed on the shoulders of the parents, slowly passing by Chen Zhan.
She was the only one there, all alone, with only a 28-inch suitcase in her hand.
After the Gaokao, Chen Zhan did the second craziest thing in eighteen years: secretly changing her major without Lou Yan's knowledge. This incident nearly caused a falling out between mother and daughter. Chen Zhan was punished by kneeling all night on the hard floor, her knees skinned and legs numb. Yet, she showed no remorse for her wrongdoing and even felt a tinge of smug joy. However, Lou Yan's control over her became even tighter after that, and she spent the entire summer confined at home painting.
She still remembered the morning after she received the notice. Lou Yan stood coldly at the door of her room, looking at her with emotionless eyes. Every word he said was like ice hitting her. "Don't you want to draw? Then draw as much as you want for me at home."
That summer vacation, she was forbidden from all outdoor activities, but fortunately it was not boring.
Lou Yan didn't like her painting, so in order to make her feel disgusted with it, he locked her in the room and made her paint all the time, thinking that after a summer vacation, she would reconsider and give up. However, Chen Zan didn't do that. She even became more and more addicted to painting.
On the day when he left with his luggage, Chen Zan said goodbye to Lou Yan, who had a sullen face.
When she took the subway to the gate of her dream school, she smiled with relief.
After reporting, Chen Zan pulled her suitcase to the dormitory building. She lived in dormitory 304. When she arrived at the door, there were already people in the dormitory.
In the empty dormitory, the girl was dressed in a cool outfit, a navel-baring rainbow striped top, light blue shorts, a neat bun on the back of her head, and a fair and playful face.
She sat on a stool, crossed her legs, and was talking on the phone. "You only remembered to call me after I've already arrived at the dormitory?"
"Brother, do you have a conscience?"
Although it was clearly a complaint, Chen Zan heard a hint of anger in it.
She subconsciously slowed down her steps and walked in pushing her suitcase.
The room was very quiet, and the sound of the rollers rubbing against the ground was very faint, allowing the voice on the phone to reach Chen Zan's ears.
It was a lazy laugh, "How could I be so heartless as to call you?"
This voice sounds a little familiar.
Without thinking too much, Chen Zan tried to move his feet as quietly as possible, but he was still discovered by her.
Not wanting to disturb her, Chen Zhan just smiled at her. The girl smiled back and waved her hand as a greeting between them.
"I won't talk to you anymore, my beautiful roommate is here." The girl said to the person on the phone, then hung up.
She was very familiar and introduced herself to her warmly and generously, "My name is He Shiyi, the Shiyi in Shunsong Shiyi."
"Hello, my name is Chen Zhan."
He Shiyi helped Chen Zan tidy up her room, and then accompanied her to the shops on the long street outside the school to buy cotton quilts and bedding, which they carried back in a box.
The sun was very strong, making people feel dizzy. Sticky sweat stuck to their skin, and the air they exhaled was hot.
As the two of them reached the entrance of the Academy of Fine Arts with the box, He Shiyi let go as if he couldn't bear it anymore and fanned the air with his hands, "It's too hot today, Zhanzhan, let's take a break."
Chen Zan had the same feeling. His fair face was slightly sunburned and he nodded in agreement.
The two of them found a place under the shade of a tree to stand and take a break. Not long after, He Shiyi's phone rang. Chen Zan turned his head to look at her. She blocked the sun with her hands. After seeing the caller clearly on the phone screen, she frowned and smiled.
I remember how she looked when she was still in the dormitory and talking to her brother on the phone, with the same cute smile on her face.
Sure enough, the next second, He Shiyi's sweet voice rang out, "Mom——"
She looked like a child who grew up in happiness. Chen Zan thought of Lou Yan and her expressionless face when she left home.
I feel a little lost.
Chen Zan shifted his gaze and it landed squarely on a road sign on the side of the road.
This is the university town in northern Beijing, where several well-known universities in the city are gathered. The signpost lists the nearby universities and their directions.
When she raised her eyes, the sunlight stung them and they felt sore. She blinked, and they were covered with a wet mist.
But she could still make out the words "Beijing Sports University" in bold black letters, with a right-pointing arrow next to it: 2km.
A wanton and ostentatious figure appeared in his mind. Before he had time to think about it, he was interrupted by He Shiyi beside him, "Zhanzhan, let's go."
Chen Zhan withdrew his gaze, turned around and nodded to her. The two of them carried the boxes and blended into the crowd of freshmen, walking towards the school.
When they returned to the dormitory, they discovered there were two new roommates. They introduced themselves as Ji Miaomiao and Tao Yiran, two cheerful girls from other places.
The four of them cleaned the house together, and soon they let go of the reserve and distance they had when they first met and started to have a good time.
Chen Zan was washing the rag on the balcony when he heard laughter coming from inside. The light fell into the room, making their figures look vivid and bright.
With a curl of his lips, Chen Zan hung the clean rag on the iron hook.
At twelve o'clock noon, He Shiyi was called away by a phone call, and Chen Zan, Ji Miaomiao and Tao Yiran went to the cafeteria to eat together.
The three-story cafeteria building offered a wide variety of dishes to choose from, including local specialties. It was a dazzling array of dishes that made one's mouth water. The three of them wandered from the first floor to the third, finally choosing a Huaiyang restaurant.
Ji Miaomiao patted her chest generously and told Chen Zan and Tao Yiran that she would treat them to dinner today, but they both declined.
Tao Yiran: "That won't do. If anyone wants to treat you, it should be me."
Chen Zan agreed with a smile.
Ji Miaomiao laughed at them helplessly, "You two are too polite. You're fighting over paying the bill for a meal. You really like being taken advantage of."
"I'm not being taken advantage of," Tao Yiran waved his hand, looking like he knew everything. "I knew the cuisine at the Academy of Fine Arts was top-notch before school even started, and I think it's worth the money."
The three of them argued for a long time and finally chose AA.
The cafeteria was crowded and lively. While waiting for their food, the three of them chatted.
The conversation turned to the college entrance examination, and Ji Miaomiao asked Tao Yiran: "How many points did you get in the college entrance examination?"
"The cutoff score is low here, 560, and I just got 561."
"What about you, Zhanzhan?" Ji Miaomiao turned to look at Chen Zhan, who was sitting to her right. Knowing that she was from Beijing North, she guessed, "The score cutoff for Beijing North should be very high, right?"
Indeed, the college entrance examination score line this year was indeed not low. After the exam, Chen Zhan lost confidence in the Academy of Fine Arts and even planned to repeat the year.
Fortunately, God saw that she had worked very hard for the past three years. The moment she checked her test results, she found that her scores were far higher than the score line of the Academy of Fine Arts, and even exceeded the score line of the key universities in Beijing.
"681."
Ji Miaomiao and Tao Yiran were amazed.
"Zhanzhan, you are such a top student——"
Ji Miaomiao became curious, "Which high school did you go to? It's so impressive."
Chen Zhan told her, "Beijing No. 1 Middle School."
Beijing No. 1 Middle School is one of the top key middle schools in Beijing. Only extremely outstanding students are qualified to enter this school.
Chen Zan's mother is a high school teacher. Perhaps the nature of her job has cultivated her old-fashioned and serious character. Chen Zan grew up under her strict education and always got the first place in every subject.
The word "excellent" is a very appropriate description of her, and she completely meets the admission requirements of Beijing No. 1 Middle School.
No wonder.
Ji Miaomiao suddenly realized that how could a promising student from Beijing No. 1 Middle School not be a top student?
She suddenly thought of someone.
"Do you know He Jingsui?" Ji Miaomiao said, "He's the one who participated in the shooting championship. I heard he was also from Beijing No. 1 Middle School."
Just hearing that person's name made my heart ripple.
Chen Zan's eyes paused.
Before she could react, Tao Yiran excitedly chimed in, "I know! That talented shooter from last year's championship! Isn't that the hottie from the Sports University next door?"
"Yes, yes! It's him!"
“…”
The excited voices beside him mixed together and poured into Chen Zan's ears, and the three words "He Jingsui" were already blurred.
It has been a long time since they last met, but it still captures all her emotions.
Chen Zan closed her eyes slightly and searched for any trace of him in her mind. Those few "chance encounters" became memories that she was reluctant to forget.
She knew him one-sidedly, starting from his unruly and unruly nature, and was an insignificant person in his life.
Chen Zhan picked at his fingers and listened quietly to their various flatteries and praises. "He is so handsome and charming. Just a smile can make me fall in love with him."
She had seen how that enchanting face could charm those young girls who were just beginning to fall in love. All he had to do was simply hook his fingers or raise his eyebrows, and girls would immediately come over to him.
That wicked smile, and those dark eyes always filled with debauchery. She was obviously not his target, but when she saw him smiling like that at another girl, she felt as if she could relate to him and her nerves went numb.
Even his friends had teased him, "You monster, look how many innocent girls you've killed."
But this person is very self-aware and very immodest. His voice is so lazy, "There's nothing I can do about it. I'm just like that."

Sorry for the long wait!! I hope you enjoy this story!
Summer Solstice is here! Come see the orange blossoms!
The next book I’m writing is “When the Snow Melts”, which is about age difference. If you’re interested, you can collect it!
The text is as follows:
On the day she first met Wen Jingyan, Su Wanjin was kicked out of the house by her family.
It was a winter night, snow was falling heavily, and she was wearing very little clothing, crouching on the side of the road, shivering with red eyes. She thought she would freeze to death, until a shadow fell over her head and a pair of straight legs appeared in her sight.
Su Wanjin looked up, and saw Wen Jingyan in the falling snow.
The man was dressed in a black suit, looking very refined. His eyes, hidden behind his glasses, looked incredibly deep yet dull in the shadows. He squatted down and carefully wiped the snow off her face.
The gentle voice grabbed all her heartbeats, "They don't want you, I want you."
Those seemingly sentimental but actually dull eyes fell on her face. He stretched out his hand to her and said, "Would you like to come with me?"
…
Wen Jingyan treated her very well. He would run more than ten kilometers away in the middle of the night to buy her favorite strawberry cake, accompany her to the lake to relax, and patiently accompany her as she grew up.
Countless days and nights of meticulous care made Su Wanjin's love for her grow deeper and deeper.
On his birthday, she drank to give herself courage and confessed to him with a blushing face.
That was the first time she saw Wen Jingyan's serious face, and the eyes hidden behind the glasses no longer looked at her as gently as usual.
He pushed her away, kept his distance from her, and shattered all her fantasies with a cold voice, "You are drunk, we are not suitable."
Su Wanjin raised her face stubbornly and asked him, "What's wrong with it?"
The red eyes that were about to burst into tears were very eye-catching. Wen Jingyan curled up his drooping fingers and turned away from her, "You are still young."
That day, Su Wanjin felt hopeless.
…
They met again three years later. The man hurriedly pushed through the dense crowd and came to her side.
The person he had been thinking about day and night was standing in front of him.
Restraining the urge to crush her in his arms, he reached out to her again, cautiously as if he was risking everything.
"Will you come with me?"
When her hand fell into his palm again, his heart was filled with the feeling of regaining what he had lost. On the night drenched by the spring rain, he cherished her and kissed her again and again.
When love reaches its deepest point, he becomes obsessed and greedy.
"Jinjin, can you give me another chance?"
