In the room, two kittens scurried about, tussling with each other.
Shen Yuan, meanwhile, sat in the study, focused on his physics materials.
'What else is a high school senior supposed to do but study?'
'It's not like I'm some kind of genius.'
An hour passed before Shen Yuan finally looked up again.
The tip of his pen hovered over his physics materials. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the few blue-and-white White Rabbit candies on his desk.
Bits of edible rice paper stuck to the edge of the wrapper.
Cool air cascaded from the AC vent, but it couldn't extinguish the memory of that cloying, sweet aroma.
He could almost see it again: Li Zhi's fingertips bringing the candy toward his own lips, a crumb of edible rice paper glistening in the seam of hers.
He saw the candy slide around in the beautiful girl's mouth and felt his own heart pound in his chest.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on his pen.
