Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When she was young, she wanted to use Lu An to obtain the benefits she wanted from Hong Kong. Now, Lu An was no longer a child who could be manipulated. By the time Xie He realized that the so-called money and status were just a dream, it was too late.
Lu An drove home. When the car reached the door, he stopped and did not continue driving into the villa.
He rolled down the window and let the cold wind hit his face.
He thought about Jin Nian, and the memories of the past replayed in his mind.
His head hurt, and his heart ached as well.
He casually took out a cigarette and lit it. The smoke curled up and gradually blurred his vision.
At that moment, he seemed to have seen the Jin Nian from his first year of high school.
It was during the first year of high school that he realized he liked Jin Nian. It was also from then on that he learned to smoke.
Nicotine seemed to be able to take away all of his irritability, so he started at the beginning with one to a few more then eventually spiraled out of control.
He still remembered that when Jin Nian smelled the smoke on him, she declared that she did not like boys who smoked.
Hence, he started to smoke away from Jin Nian.
In his third year of high school, he had a falling out with Xie He. When he left home, Teacher Tan took him in. He moved into Jin Nian’s house and started a life where he saw her every now and then.
It was also from that time that he started to have an ambiguous relationship with Jin Nian.
Jin Nian had a hard time with her studies. She had always been unable to keep up. With her mother as a teacher, she was destined to be unable to do well in her studies.
In contrast to her, his results were not bad.
Lu An had always been sloppy in his studies. He clearly did not listen in cla.s.s, but he scored high marks in his exams.
It was really infuriating to compare people.
English was Jin Nian’s weakness, but it was also Lu An’s strength.
Jin Nian could not help but ask him questions when she saw him getting high marks without listening in cla.s.s.
However, Lu An only sent her off with a cold sentence, “Ask Teacher Tan.”
“You’re so narrow-minded! Would it kill you to teach me?”
Jin Nian had never been polite to him, and she would pinch him whenever she did not agree with him.
Lu An quivered from the pinch and could only relent to teach her.
After that, they truly began to live together day and night.
Going to school, coming back from school, eating and studying, the two of them were together all the time.
Jin Nian’s homework began to appear in Lu An’s bag, and his house began to have Jin Nian’s aura.
Jin Nian did not seem to be on guard against him at all.
She still remembered that she had been doing her homework in Lu An’s room before falling asleep on his bed in a daze.
When Lu An returned to his room, he looked at the person who was sleeping on his bed. G.o.d knew how much willpower he had to have to keep himself from pouncing over.
However, he stared at Jin Nian’s lips in a daze for a long time.
At that time, Lu An only had one thought in his mind, and that was… he wanted to taste her lips.
And this opportunity came very quickly.
In order to relax, Lu An brought Jin Nian to the amus.e.m.e.nt park and even suggested going to a haunted house.
After entering the haunted house, Lu An found Jin Nian’s lips and kissed her in the dark.
At that time, he was still very innocent, and his idea of kissing was just touching her lips with his.
Even so, he could feel the wonderful taste of Jin Nian’s lips.
He was satisfied, but he deliberately shirked the responsibility.
“You stole my first kiss. Shouldn’t you take responsibility?”
Jin Nian came out of the haunted house in shock. After hearing Lu An’s words, she really thought that she had taken Lu An’s first kiss away.
However, she felt wronged and said, “1 didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, you also took my first kiss.”
Lu An naturally knew that.
What he wanted was Jin Nian’s first kiss.
At that time, he had done all kinds of childish things.
It rarely snowed in the southern cities, but this year’s spring festival had an unprecedented snowfall.
Lu An finally realized how much Jin Nian loved to play with the snow.
When she saw the snow at the door, she went crazy and ran to play with the snow without even wearing gloves. As a result, her hands were frozen red.
However, she did not care and continued to play even though her hands were frozen.
In the end, Lu An could not stand it anymore. He held her hands in his palm to give her some warmth, and gently exhaled warm air on her hands.
“Stop playing around.”
“But this is the first time I’ve seen real snow in my life. I don’t know when the next time will be, so how can I not take this opportunity to play to my heart’s content?”
“Idiot.” Lu An knocked her head helplessly, “There are so many cities in the country where it snows. If you really want to see the snow, you can just buy a plane ticket and go there. You’re too playful now. If you get frostbites on your hands later, don’t come crying to me..”
