It gets dark early in the winter. Though the evening self-study session hadn't begun, the sky was already dim. Xi Zirong leaned against the long bench, his head tilted to the side, his expression unreadable. He reached out to pull Xu Su over and decided to apologize. "I'm sorry. It was my fault."
The boy's voice was a little hoarse and tentative.
Xu Su: "..."
'This guy really knows how to make me go soft...'
Xu Su was silent for a good while before sitting back down. Letting him hold her hand, she explained softly, "If it were up to me, I would have waited until after graduation to tell him. Xi Zirong, I don't want this to become school-wide gossip. It's not something I want everyone talking about."
"Mm, graduation is still over a year away," Xi Zirong replied, then asked calmly, "What if he keeps harassing you for that entire year?"
