In this open era, at their age, it's natural for couples to indulge in passionate kisses and even taste the forbidden fruit.
But not him and Gu Jiayin.
Nothing at all.
Because they were different from ordinary couples.
She wasn't someone he courted with a bet with his friends, nor did he woo her with flowers and sweet nothings due to youthful impulses. She was the treasure he held dearly from childhood, and he wouldn't bully her, nor would he make her incomplete too soon.
At that time, he always thought they had so much time, such a long path ahead, a lifetime to be together.
Then, walking through the campus at night, they often came across sixteen or seventeen-year-old couples hiding under trees, kissing and holding each other. Gu Jiayin, too, was a girl experiencing the stirrings of youth, and she also thought about getting closer to Pei Nianchen.
That night, she stood under the tree, bashfully saying, "We can be that close too."
