Chen Ling珊 leaned forward, like a figure piercing through layer after layer of murals, her white-sleeved arm spread out to embrace Su Can. It felt surreal, but at this moment, many things seemed unreal.

The pain from when she bit her own lips earlier still lingered, and the fragrance that had enveloped him was familiar yet distant, as if it were buried deep in his memories. Even a supercomputer like Cray Jaguar with its peak computing power would struggle to find such memories within the cerebral cortex's convolutions.

Of course, due to their position behind them, they only saw Chen Ling珊 turning around to embrace someone at this moment. However, it was enough to make this event the real climax of the evening performance.

Many people in attendance might not remember years later whether they had ever peeked into a girl's dormitory while she changed clothes, or what color and style內衣a certain female teacher wore when her shirt was drenched with sweat on a hot day. They might even forget the face of their desk mate or the details of the first fight during a soccer match.

But it seemed they would never forget this moment—a girl seemingly emerging from another world, dancing in a white gown, her delicate arms entwined around someone, making for an unforgettable scene that kept them up at night.

This wasn't summer anymore, but the passionate and dramatic scene felt as if it belonged to that season.

The twilight fell again upon the campus garden, just like many times before. The leaves of the camphor trees, the buds on the Chinese scholar trees, the gnarled branches of banyan trees, and the collective migration of ants all came together as usual, yet everything felt different somehow.

Boys and girls stood in groups at the school gate, while long queues were visible on the slope as students left campus. Some still hadn't had time to remove their makeup, others in costumes from the performance wandered about.

The warm atmosphere of twilight seemed unable to cool down this heat.

Chen Ling珊 wore a white dress, her dazzlingly white legs stirring up a whirlwind of emotions. Her feet in black single shoes showed faint veins; around her ankles was a delicate ankle chain adorned with carved jade pendants hanging gracefully before Su Can.

Different from the many people gathered outside the auditorium chatting at this moment, even those who knew Su Can and Chen Ling珊 would avoid getting too close to them. Some groups of people passing by deliberately started gossiping, some of whom were secretly infatuated with or had written love letters to Chen Ling珊—most responded half-heartedly.

Some individuals usually active and prominent in their class or grade suddenly became silent and left hastily, looking extremely unnatural.

"What does 'doing one's best' mean, clearly it means you're amazing! Your poem touched so many people!" Chen Lingshan's face turned slightly red. Spiral recited in a dreamy tone: "I want to lead the camel, following an ancient path that is long and distant, seeking the desert of my dreams—Dunhuang—I see the heroic grandeur of Han Wu Di's beacon smoke, flags blocking out the sun, resonating for millennia."

Her soft voice as she recited this poignant song had a dreamlike quality.

It was like many years ago when Su Can remembered that girl, wearing a floral skirt and standing in front of him. She pointed at the drooling dog beside her, saying, "You ugly dog! My Scottish shepherd is much better!" Then she stuck out her tongue proudly.

This girl had long forgotten these moments, yet he was inexplicably vividly remembering all those past emotions.

"I've said before, I'm just doing my best. This performance belongs to you; I don't want to mess it up." Su Can secretly felt relieved. They did an on-the-spot performance with a high risk level. The biggest achievement was Chen Lingshan's outstanding performance, which created the atmosphere of lifting the roof off the auditorium.

"So we were successful! When I came down from backstage, I saw many people had tears in their eyes. If it had been my solo dance, this effect wouldn't have happened. So, let's enjoy a pleasant collaboration!" Chen Lingshan blushed and deliberately extended her hand to lightly shake Su Can’s; she quickly withdrew as if shocked by an electric shock. The thickness and warmth of Su Can’s palm lingered in his mind, causing his heart rate to accelerate.

Su Can was aware of these details.

He suddenly felt a strong urge not to leave.

This place had been the hometown he dreamt about many times at midnight. It was where he grew up, struggled as a child and teenager, even as a young adult. His family circumstances didn't allow him to travel like Lin Luoran or Wang Weiwei, moving between different cities like migratory birds.

After all, living with the freedom and ease of Xu Zhimo was rather painful.

All he knew was that in this place where he grew up, he had fallen and felt pain, gasping for breath to catch the first bus; he felt sad about parting from many people, and anxious over unfinished homework when a holiday ended, just like someone facing joblessness later on with survival at stake.

From an early age, he prepared himself mentally. He repeatedly told himself that his inner self was a well-traveled soul who didn't care about the gains or losses of any city, controlling this chessboard-like life with sharp strategy. Knowing when to "let go" could help him conquer and gain greater rewards.

But when these emotions he had been suppressing burst forth at that moment, it almost made his rational defenses crumble.

L Li Lumei and the group of people around her suddenly appeared from the side. Upon seeing Su Cai and Chen Lingshan, a bunch of girls giggled as they approached them, inserting themselves between the two. There was much playful chatter among them.

Li Lumei said mockingly, "We have long discussed the standards for someone who is worthy to be our Ling Shan's other half. Even if you were to fight in the future, you should cry in a BMW! So not having a BMW is absolutely unacceptable. Thus your journey of striving still has quite some way to go."

Chen Lingshan hurriedly pushed Li Lumei and that group of trouble-seeking women aside and said, "I'll find you all later, hurry up and leave!"

Other girls kept shouting over here, "Remember it well, Su Xiaocan! What we just told you is golden advice. Don’t blame us if you suffer from not listening to us later on! Ling Shan, when will your love talk end A bunch of sisters are waiting for you by the school gate!"

Su Cai looked at this group of girls whose emotions were clearly stirred up by today's cultural performance and gave Chen Lingshan a teasing smile. "I don’t have a BMW."

Chen Lingshan’s face turned red, her delicate fingers twisting the hem of her skirt as she bit her lip. “Compared to crying in a BMW, I would rather be happy sitting behind you on a bicycle.”

Su Cai was taken aback; it seemed Chen Lingshan had used all her courage to say that sentence. Afterward, this courage was quickly depleted, causing her to move away like a startled butterfly heading toward the group of girls by the school gate.

A complex emotion welled up in Su Cai’s heart as he looked at Chen Lingshan's back and said, "Actually, I’m about to leave."

Perhaps he could hide this from everyone else, but at this moment, he didn’t want to deceive this girl.

How far is forever This world has no concept of eternity. Even the eternal stars above our heads are not everlasting. Chen Lingshan's life will be splendid and there’s no doubt about that, but it is also possible that in her magnificent life, he might merely be a meteor passing by her night sky. She might occasionally look up at the sky and see him for just an instant before she forgets.

Just like how she had forgotten the one who once silently gazed at her with drool hanging from his mouth.

Su Cai felt no resentment toward Chen Lingshan; instead, there was a moment when he wanted to tightly embrace her. If possible, he would love to hold her hand and bring about a tale of holding hands until the end of their days together.

But often times, it’s just like Tang Wu who went away for half a year without any news, or too many stories where牽手 ended in missed opportunities, or countless breakup scenes that fade with dawn's light.

Time is merciless; please don't say forever so lightly.

Chen Lingshan's shoulders trembled slightly, and her figure froze. She turned around again, her skirt swirling beside her as she smiled sweetly at Su Can, "Um! They were pestering me today, I can’t go home with you, okay Let’s walk together next time"

Seeing Chen Lingshan throw herself into the chattering group of girls, Su Can was somewhat taken aback.

The thing is, that's not what I meant...

A girl from class 4 who had been Chen Lingshan's desk mate in junior high chuckled and said, "Don't forget, we made a promise before—if anyone gets a boyfriend, they have to treat us!"

The girls got extremely excited and egged her on, causing Chen Lingshan’s face to flush.

"You guys aren’t going to stop until you’ve ousted me from my position of power, right" Chen Lingshan said fiercely. She then looked around at everyone, reached into her small red shoulder bag, and scolded, "I only have two hundred yuan on me; please be reasonable!"

More than half the girls were immediately stunned—was that a tacit admission from Chen Lingshan

Some found it hard to believe. They had all once considered Chen Lingshan their holy maiden, and just now they still argued that her embrace towards Su Can during the performance was merely for the sake of a perfect ending in the dance drama; some of these girls firmly believed that Chen Lingshan would never be moved by anyone—and this belief seemed to shatter silently.

This momentary silence only lasted an instant, and then all the girls rejoiced, "Oh my, I’ve already dealt with a few admirers who wanted me to pass their love letters! How am I supposed to find a long-term meal ticket now that you’re declaring yourself off the market so soon Do you want these innocent young men to cry over burning their love letters and ramming into tofu blocks"

One girl was in tears, "It’s not easy for us either—now we finally get Chen Lingshan treating us! If we don’t strip your clothes off the naked table and have our way with you, how can we let out our frustration!"
