Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

At that time, Fang Yuqing was being pursued by Hu Cheng and did not notice Jiang Wei. However, her friends were very infatuated with Jiang Wei.

Speaking of which, the Jiang family and the Fang family were long-time friends. Fang Yuqing’s grandfather and Jiang Wei’s grandfather had a very close relationship back then, but their relationship had become a little distant when it came to their father’s generation.

Jiang Wei and Fang Yuqing knew each other, but before that incident, they were not close. Occasionally, they would meet at a large banquet, but they were only acquaintances.

Anyway, Fang Yuqing did not know Jiang Wei well.

Who would have thought that they would fall in love with each other a few years later?

!!

Jiang Wei said, “If I had the ability to foresee the future and knew in advance that I would love you so much in the future, I should have wooed you earlier.” He was the one who had not noticed her.

However, Fang Yuqing said, “Don’t say that. We knew each other back then and had met a few times. At that time, we just didn’t have any feelings for each other. Love is something that comes when it comes. You wouldn’t have been able to expect it otherwise.”

“That’s true.”

Jiang Wei and Fang Yuqing shopped at the basketball court and went to the teaching building to reminisce about the past. Then, they went to the canteen and supermarket. They bought some snacks and ate as they shopped. Fang Yuqing opened a packet of QQ candy. It was lemon-flavored. Just as she threw one into her mouth, she heard Jiang Wei say, “Don’t you like strawberry-flavored food?”

“I’m tired of eating it. Now, I like the lemon flavor.”

With that, Fang Yuqing realized something and suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Jiang Wei walked in front and did not notice that Fang Yuqing had fallen behind.

When he realized it, he was already six to seven meters away. He turned around and looked at Fang Yuqing. Jiang Wei asked her, “Qingqing, what’s wrong? What happened?” She stood there motionless, which worried him.

Fang Yuqing raised the QQ candy in front of her and said to Jiang Wei, “I only ate QQ candy in high school.”

These words made no sense, but Jiang Wei understood the hidden meaning behind them.

Fang Yuqing said, “How did you know about my high school hobby?”

Jiang Wei’s lips moved, but he did not say anything.

Fang Yuqing looked at Jiang Wei suspiciously. An unbelievable idea popped up in her mind. She asked Jiang Wei, “When you were in high school, did you pay attention to me?”

Jiang Wei fell silent.

He sat down on the marble stairs.

Upon seeing him sit down, Fang Yuqing hesitated for a moment before walking over and sitting down.

Jiang Wei took a soft QQ candy from his snack bag. As he chewed on the candy, he said, “What should I do? I think you know.” Jiang Wei’s tone was a little self-deprecating.

Fang Yuqing asked him, “When did this start?”

Jiang Wei said, “When you were in your first year of high school.”

“I didn’t notice you.”

Jiang Wei said, “Because you didn’t notice me.”

“Why did you…”

“Why would I like you?” Jiang Wei smiled sadly and said, “When you were just promoted, we met in the washroom when you were doing your exercise.”

Fang Yuqing frowned and tried her best to think about the scene Jiang Wei had mentioned. However, it had been too long and she could not remember.

“Do you need me to remind you?” Jiang Wei asked.

Fang Yuqing said, “Give me a keyword.”

Jiang Wei said, “Great-aunt, clothes.”

Fang Yuqing’s eyes lit up.

“You’re the boy who lent me his clothes?”

Fang Yuqing remembered.

During that class exercise, Fang Yuqing’s period suddenly came. At that time, her period was irregular and many people were around. She was also wearing a white dress and her underwear was stained with blood, so she was easily discovered.

Fang Yuqing did not do the exercise and ran to the washroom to hide.

Jiang Wei had never been a good student. When Fang Yuqing went to the washroom, he was hiding in the washroom with Song Zhi and smoking. The men and women shared the same hand washing area. There was no one in the women’s washroom, and Fang Yuqing could not borrow clothes, so she was quite melancholic.

When she was washing her hands, she heard all the boys talking in the men’s room next door. She mustered her courage and stood at the door of the men’s room. She asked the people inside, “Can you lend me some clothes? I’m in Year One, Class Eight. Um, I’m not feeling well. My clothes are dirty…”

There was a moment of silence.

A few seconds later, a blue shirt was thrown out.

Fang Yuqing grabbed the clothes and thanked the person inside softly. She tied her clothes around her waist and ran to the supermarket to buy sanitary pads. After class, the students dispersed. When Jiang Wei went to the supermarket to buy water, she saw the girl wearing her clothes.

The girl only left him with her back view. She was tall and thin, but she had a good temperament. She was wearing a white dress and her hair was tied high.

Jiang Wei watched from afar. When Song Zhi arrived, he quickly walked towards the teaching building with him. When he passed Fang Yuqing, Jiang Wei turned around and looked at her. Only then did he realize that it was that girl from the Fang family.

Fang Yuqing’s face was a little red, as if she had put on makeup. Jiang Wei was not as infatuated with Fang Yuqing back then, but he was curious about this Miss Fang that he knew.

There were two young ladies in the Fang family, one was Fang Yuqing, and the other was Fang Yupei. Fang Yupei was young, but she often followed her mother to various gatherings. Jiang Wei had seen that girl a few times. That girl was a little domineering.

Due to Fang Yupei, Jiang Wei did not have a good impression of the women in the Fang family.

However, Fang Yuqing was completely different from Fang Yupei.

Once you noticed someone, you would realize that there were thousands of teachers and students in the school, but she would always pass by you by accident. Jiang Wei saw more and more opportunities to see Fang Yuqing. He gradually realized that this Miss of the Fang Family was different. She kept a low profile, and her friends were all ordinary children.

She did not wear branded clothes. She ate at roadside stalls and usually took the bus to and from school.

A crush started when one secretly followed someone.

In the second semester of her second year of high school, Jiang Wei had written Fang Yuqing a love letter, but Fang Yuqing had not read it. Not only had she not read it, but he had also thrown it away. Later, Jiang Wei had realized that another boy had appeared beside Fang Yuqing.

Not only had the love letter that he had painstakingly written not been seen by anyone, but it had also been thrown away. The proud Jiang Wei decided not to like Fang Yuqing anymore. If he had known that Fang Yuqing would be tainted by that scumbag Hu Cheng because of his momentary anger, he would not have done that.

After Fang Yuqing and Hu Cheng’s matter was exposed, Jiang Wei took the initiative to be the scapegoat. Everyone thought that he was kind, but they did not know that he was atoning for his sins.

All these years, he had been wondering if he had not been so arrogant and was bold enough to pursue Fang Yuqing back then, would Fang Yuqing’s life have been completely different? However, there was no medicine for regret in this world. The word itself was meaningless.

Fang Yuqing sighed.

“I didn’t know you gave me that shirt. I thought of returning it to you later, but I couldn’t find you…”
