Volume 1 Chapter 3: Looking Back, I See Him Again

  I don't know when I'll see that person again, and with a sad and melancholic thought, even if we meet again, we won't recognize each other. I've completely forgotten his appearance. But his voice is deeply etched in my heart, because it's the only basis for me to identify him. I dare not forget it. I believe that if I were to see that boy now, even if I'm bitten by a dog once, I'll be at peace and die.

  But Fang Li just didn't have the opportunity to find that boy, "Can't possibly arrest all the boys in the city and interrogate them one by one, asking if they were bitten by a dog on April 25th? This is too ridiculous!" Su Xia started despising Fang Li again.

  "It's so embarrassing, who would be willing to admit it? Otherwise, Fang, you sacrifice yourself, whoever admits it, you'll marry that person." Meng Xi had a mischievous grin on his face.

  "What if he's someone with a missing nose and few eyes? What would Fang Li do for the rest of her life?" Still, Su Xia is more reliable.

  "It's okay." Fang nodded solemnly.

  "What? Are you crazy? Have you been poisoned?"

  But in the vast sea of people, even if you want to get married, first come out and exchange tokens. Fang Li now only needs to hear someone speak to pull her ears very long, but after several days, her ears have been trained, while the person she is searching for has not appeared, and the sound of waiting will not be heard.

  "It's useless even if you like someone, so just forget it. There are countless people you meet on the road every day, how can you be sure this is your true soulmate."

  "No, I didn't say I liked him. It's just that I won't allow some stranger to suddenly barge into my world without knowing his name or what he looks like."

  "That dog also rushed into your world, why don't you see that you have a special affection for it?" Meng Xi poked Fang Li's head viciously.

  "I hate you all, bullying me. Who do I like? I'm just curious." Fang Li's voice started to tremble with intense resistance, "Who would easily fall in love with someone?"

  Su Xia and Meng Xi walked away uninterestingly, leaving Fang Li alone to nervously ask himself questions and create the movie "The Godfather".

  For several days, there was nothing fun happening in school. Su Xia and Meng Xi had nothing to gossip about, so they spent their days looking at comic books and celebrity posters. However, they were people who didn't know how to cherish things, and after getting tired of looking, they would directly fall asleep on top of them. After waking up, the originally handsome Korean guy would turn into a ghost with white foam in his mouth and blurry bloodstains. Su Xia could only helplessly wipe away her own drool, and with a painful heart, she threw away the poster of her beloved celebrity into the trash can.

  Those who sat in the front row, Fang Li, were either listening stupidly to the chemistry teacher's lecture on the wordless heavenly book, or doing math problems that no human could understand. Some things and some people are like this, they come out and make an appearance, then disappear for a lifetime, although it makes people regretful, but when recalling, there is also a bit of nostalgia, and gradually, one lets go.

  After all, people won't sacrifice their entire life for someone they haven't even seen before. After struggling, Fang Li still has to live a high school life that's worse than a dog's, getting up earlier than dogs and sleeping later than pigs. Now Fang Li is used to walking around with heavy black eye circles every day, and often sings out of tune under the starry sky. Anyway, on a dark and windy night, who knows who? Usually in her mother's eyes, she has to be a lady, but now that it's pitch black all around, can't she just be a little rascal who doesn't pollute others' ears?

  Today, after class, Fang Li hurriedly wanted to go find Su Xia and Yuan Mengxi. Suddenly, a basketball and a boy flew over at the same time. The boy caught the basketball just before it hit Fang Li, and with a cool spin in mid-air, he directly tapped the ball back onto the court. Fang Li was still in a state of shock, staring blankly at the person she had only seen from behind. For some reason, she felt a sense of déjà vu.

  Nor did she know whether it was because of excessive fright or what, Fang Li couldn't help but think about the figure's appearance if he turned around. Fang Li was absent-minded all day long. During her English class, she filled in all the "o"s with solid black circles; during her Chinese class, she filled in all the full stops with solid circles as well.

  Saturday afternoon off, Fang Li came to the place where people play basketball that day, unfortunately no one was playing basketball today, no wonder today's weather is too sultry if someone was playing ball they would definitely get heatstroke.

  Fang Li felt disappointed on one hand and comforted herself on the other. She took out a book and found a shaded area under a nearby tree to start reading. The dense geometric patterns in her mind were frantically rotating and colliding from time to time. Feeling tired, Fang Li lay down on the long chair, closed her eyes, and instead of seeing blackness, she saw a warm red color under the sun, feeling gentle and comfortable.

  Fang Lei fell asleep unknowingly, and when she woke up, raindrops started falling. On such a sunny day, how could it be raining? Fang Lei initially thought she was dreaming, but the rain in her dream was flowing on her face. She hurriedly got up to find that the raindrops were pouring down heavily. In her haste to leave, she slipped and fell into a boy's arms.

  "Oh, it's you." The boy said.

  "Do you know me?" Fang Li asked tentatively, frantically searching her brain for the boy's face.

  "You might have forgotten, but that day we were playing basketball here and almost hit you."

  "Ah, it's you!" Fang Li couldn't hide her surprise. "Thanks a lot that day." Wait a minute, this voice... Fang Li grabbed the boy's sleeve, "Are you the one who was bitten by the dog that day?"

  "Ah?" The boy's face was shocked, and then his face turned completely red.

  "Is it really you?" Fang Li seemed to have found a long-lost brother.

  The boy was clearly at a loss for words, nervously licking his dry lips with the tip of his tongue, looking like a lovely and handsome big boy.

  Fang Li was still staring at the boy like a suspect, this must have been inherited from her police officer father.

  The boy nodded under pressure.

  Fang Li said, grabbing the boy's hand, "I finally found you. I knew you'd show up again." But when did Fang Li become so unreserved? She was clearly a refined and elegant young lady who had been raised by her mother from a young age, but now she was losing control in front of this boy. What was wrong with the world? Had it been turned upside down by love?
