When Su Yiting was seven, she became Lu Qiaochen’s schoolmate.

Lu Qiaochen was in the second year, and Su Yiting was just a first year. Their classrooms were in buildings that were about a hundred meters apart from each other, but Su Yiting would find Lu Qiaochen’s shadow in the stairwell of her classroom’s building during classes. Every time, he would have various kinds of snacks, and since they knew each other, Lu Qiaochen would share some with her.

The children’s world was simple and filled with innocence. Those snacks were like honey, sweeting Su Yiting’s heart. It was then that she got really close to Lu Qiaochen. After school, when they were waiting for their respective parents, they would play with each other on the field.

That year, Su Yiting accidentally shattered the teacher lounge’s window with the pebble that she was toying with. It was Lu Qiaochen who shouldered the blame. The teacher punished him by making him sweep the field for an entire week, and his parents were summoned to the school.

When Su Yiting was in the second year, she failed her end of term exam. Afraid of being scolded by her mother who was waiting for her at home, Su Yiting hid herself in the bathroom and refused to come out.

In the end, it was Lu Qiaochen who came to her with the solution. He tore up her results and told Su Yiting’s mother confidently and openly that he had accidentally lost Su Yiting’s results, but she was definitely the top-scorer of their class.

Song Qingchun believed him, and she was overjoyed. However, that only lasted until they reached home. Lu Qiaochen had no idea that Su Yiting’s father had superpowers who exposed her scheme the moment she reached home. Su Yiting’s deceit earned her mother’s ire, and she was grounded for two weeks.

When Su Yiting was in the third year, Lu Qiaochen’s classroom moved to the building that was closest to the track field. This meant that Lu Qiaochen had a clear view of the field from his class room.

One Wednesday afternoon, when Lu Qiaochen was attending a self-study class, Su Yiting was attending a physical education class on the field. When she was running track, she accidentally tripped and fell to the floor. The pen flew from his hand, and the young man dashed out of the room, ignoring the questions that his teacher sent his way. After he arrived at the field and saw that Su Yiting had only suffered a minor injury, he sighed in relief, but before he could do anything else, behind him came the stern warning of the discipline teacher.

When Su Yiting was in the fourth year, she accidentally sprained her ankle, and it was Lu Qiaochen who carried her all the way home.

When Su Yiting was in the fifth year, Lu Qiaochen skipped a grade and entered a high school that was two kilometers away.

When Su Yiting was in the sixth year, it was Lu Qiaochen who fetched her to and from school every day on his bicycle even though his own school was in the opposite direction from her school.

Su Yiting’s high school was the same as Lu Qiaochen’s. This time, their classrooms were not in separate buildings but in the same one. Lu Qiaochen was on the third floor, and Su Yiting was on the fourth floor.

Youths in high school, as they went through the awkward years, stopped hanging out with people from the opposite sex like how they used to in primary school.

Boys hung out with boys, and girls hung with girls. Other than forced group activities, there would not be much interaction between the two. So, whenever there was a couple that got too close, there would be the inevitable rumors.

It was thus that Lu Qiaochen and Su Yiting, who had known each other since they were little kids, became the main characters of a circulating rumor.

It was on one afternoon, when Su Yiting, who was in first year of high school at the time, was chatting with her friends that she was asked whether the Lu Qiaochen downstairs was her boyfriend that she realized that she had been the main character of a rumor for so long.
