"Hello."

It was Jiao Chen and his voice was still so gentle and warm.

Su Yue placed the phone back to her ear. "Jiaojiao, where did you go for your trip? Why didn't you inform me about it yesterday?"

"A faraway place."

Jiao Chen replied with a hint of amusement in his tone.

A faraway place… Su Yue's heart jerked when she heard him, although she knew that Jiao Chen was joking.

Nevertheless, she was still a little paranoid. "What?!"

Jiaojiao grinned and replied, "I'm joking. I'm in N City. Stay with your third brother for the next few days, alright?"

Su Yue murmured in response before asking, "When will you be back?"

Jiao Chen softly replied, "I'm not sure. Depends on the progress."

Su Yue didn't read too much into his reply and said, "Remember to take good care of yourself."

"Okay," Jiao Chen mumbled over the line.

There was a trace of subtle longing, reluctance, and yearning in his voice.

Su Yue leaned against the refrigerator and pressed on, "Call me every night. Xiaojiao will miss you…"

Jiao Chen mumbled in response.

Su Yue added, "I… I will miss you too."

When the words came out of her mouth, she felt a strange and light feeling.

There was an indescribable feeling in her heart. It was barely detectable.

As though it didn't exist. But it did.

"Alright. I will miss both of you very much."

He exhaled deeply after hanging up.

He raised his head and peered helplessly at the sky.

It was May and the school was brimming with vitality. Trees were growing with thick green leaves everywhere.

The tall young man was walking on a path. His white t-shirt complimented his gorgeous features. He was like a passing white cloud or a cold snow lotus atop a lofty mountain.

He was casually strolling with his hands deep in his pockets.

He was reminiscing about the past and grieving at the same time.

'Senior Jiao Chen, the school belle wants you to woo her!'

'The school belle says that whoever who wins the match will win her heart!'

The indoor basketball court was empty at this time in the morning. The man sat on one of the seats as he gazed at the empty basketball court. A gentle smile appeared on his face.

'I thought you wanted me to woo you?' 'If I woo you, will you accept me?'

'Sure.'

He roamed around the entire school.

He went to all the places that they went to before.

'So, in the future, I will call you Jiaojiao. It's a term of endearment.'

'I'm the only one who can call you Jiaojiao…'

'I'm the only one who can call you Jiaojiao…'

His heart followed his gut feeling. And his feet followed his heart.

Jiao Chen stopped outside the outdoor basketball court. He watched the basketball players in court.

'I'm not stupid, I just don't understand.'

'Can you teach me?' 'Give me another chance, I promise to work hard.'

Jiao Chen withdrew his gaze and glanced at his elbow. His eyes were stinging.

His eyes were swollen and red.

He raised his head to face the sky as he inhaled deeply.

He was slightly trembling.

His raging emotions attacked him like a ferocious beast, and he couldn't control it.

He raised his feet and hastily strode away. He wanted to escape and find an exit where he could abandon all his worries and yearning.

But his world was rapidly turning dark. Where was the exit?

…

Early in the morning, only a few were present in the President's office in Flourish & Prosper.
