1.1

T/N: It’s a tad lengthy in its entirety, so I’ve split it into four parts. Here’s Part 1!

---

Wei Min and I met in high school.

Back then, he was the representative for the ignorant and incompetent in our school. Skipping class, fighting – as long as it had something to do with violating school rules, he had a share in it.

He and I were entirely two extreme opposites. My dictionary only consisted of six words: Study hard, make progress every day.

I never expected to have any involvement with him, but perhaps the Heavens saw that my life was too dull and stuffed Wei Min in.

He was getting beaten up by a group of people. I didn’t want to be meddlesome, but I couldn’t watch him being bullied like that and helped him out of kindness.

But I didn’t expect that the next day Wei Min would tell his friends about how I’ve had a crush on him for a long time and he also began to frequently appear in front of me.

Left with no other choice, I hardened my heart and told the class teacher. Consequently, Wei Min suffered a scolding, his parents were called too, and he stopped for a long time.

Even a stiff and dull person like me was no exception.

The more I interacted with Wei Min, the more I felt that a person like him was lively, vivid, interesting. It was a way of life that I’d never known before.

He was not entirely the same as the way he appeared in rumors.

For example, he skipped class to play games at the internet cafe in order to earn money for his grandmother’s medical fees.

As for fighting…

He told me he fought just to fight, no other reason for it. I had to hand it to him, because I felt like a person like him had a reason to be forgiven no matter what he did.

He and I were different.

If he was barbarous brambles, then I was a flower bred by a gardener according to science and precise data.

To my understanding, a flower should look the way it was supposed to look. It wouldn’t suddenly turn from a flower with five petals to a flower with six.

It was also impossible for a red flower to become a blue one.

But Wei Min could.

He was brambles, and he could also produce flowers from the brambles or even from the thorns. He lived willfully, unruly, unrestricted.

But suddenly one day, Wei Ming told me I could too.

“Take a purple morning glory, put it in soapy water, and the flower will turn blue. But if I put it in vinegar, it can even turn red.” As he said this, I was in the yard at Wei Min’s house, watching the results of his experiment.

Wei Min picked up another morning glory and squatted in front of me: “As for the number of petals, that’s even simpler.” He directly tore a petal: “Look, it has an extra petal just like this.”

I watched stupefied.

“No one can determine what you will become, the only one who can is yourself.” Wei Min picked up the morning glory that hadn’t been dyed a color other than its own and placed it behind my ear. His voice was as gentle as his gaze: “If you want it to be purple, it will be purple. If you want it to be blue, it can also be blue.”

His words were very encouraging, but at that moment, my mind had long since strayed. The part of my ear that he had lightly touched was burning hot.

So hot that my entire body felt numb. My heartbeat was out of control.

I didn’t even dare look him in the eyes.

I knew I was doing something very bold and out of the norm, but I couldn’t hold myself back. I was probably enticed and led astray by Wei Min.

Otherwise, I can’t come up with any reason that could explain why I suddenly kissed Wei Min.

Wei Min seemed to be scared by me too. His pupils widened slightly and he stopped breathing for a long time. I didn’t kiss him on the lips completely.

Probably because I was nervous, with my hands on his knees as I leaned over to kiss him, I only kissed the corner of his lips.

This position couldn’t be maintained for long. Wei Min was crouching on the ground and couldn’t sustain the weight of the both of us. His body leaned back and he directly sat on the ground.

While he hadn’t reacted yet, I took the opportunity to run away.

I hid from Wei Min for several days. Though he was in science and I was in literature, our classrooms were only one floor apart. It was too easy for him to catch me if he wanted to.

On Friday, it was our group’s turn to do cleaning duty. I had always been the one taken care of in class, so the tasks assigned to me were all very light. I only had to wipe the blackboard, tidy the podium, and lock the door at the end.

Wei Min waited for me at the end of the corridor the whole time.

Today, he was dressed very nicely. A black T-shirt with blue jeans, the shoelaces of his low-top canvas shoes still tied in that way that I can’t figure out.

I looked him over a few times, but didn’t say anything.

Wei Min finally couldn’t stand it, he smiled as he asked me: “Are you done looking? I’ll have to charge if you keep looking.”

I pursed my lips, not taking to the conversation.

He flicked me on the forehead: “Speak.”

I sulkily said: “I haven’t seen enough.”

“Oh.” He leaned against the wall, light from the setting sun that spilled into the corridor encased his body: “Then you keep looking, there’s no fee for my own girlfriend looking.”

“…” My face immediately turned as red as the setting sun on the horizon, burning hot and red.

Wei Min used the tip of his shoe to kick mine: “Why aren’t you speaking?”

I didn’t know how he could be so calm, is it because he has thick skin or because he is excessively experienced?

I didn’t want to look at him: “I don’t know what to say.”

“Oh, you don’t know what to say, but you know what to do.” Wei Min suddenly moved a step closer. The tips of our shoes are touching.

As long as I raised my head, I could kiss him.

Wei Min didn’t move again, his voice came from the top of my head: “Weren’t you quite proficient when you kissed me?”

Too close. I could even see the undulating curves of his chest, smell the faint scent of soap on his body. But none of these had nowhere near as big of an impact as this sentence.

I knew this day would come eventually.

Not long after I kissed him, I imagined countless ways I could answer him when he came to question me, but when this day really arrived, I couldn’t say a word.

What should I say?

Say, you’re too handsome, I was enticed by you, I just want to kiss you.

Would he think that I am a pervert?

I look gentle and quiet, but I know that there lives a ferocious beast deep inside my heart that will occasionally take control of me and do things that I wouldn’t normally do.

Such as kissing Wei Min.

I closed my eyes, took a few deep breaths, and raised my head, adopting the attitude of facing death head on: “I just—“

Before I finished speaking, the handsome face in front of me was suddenly magnified, and then the corner of my lips felt warm, touched by something soft and hot.

I knew, it was Wei Min’s lips.

Although I only kissed the corner of his lips last time, his lips were very soft and comfortable to the touch, just like this time.

But what shocked me was not Wei Min kissing me but that he was really too bold, we were still at school.

After I realized this, I suddenly backed up. Caught off guard, he followed me and leaned forward, his warm lips kissed me again on the nose.

I wanted to cry but had no tears. If we were seen by the teacher, can I say that I was forced by him?

But then I thought about how severely he was reprimanded before when I simply mentioned to the class teacher that he was pestering me.

After serious consideration, I decided that if we were really caught by the teacher, I would tell the teacher that I forced him.

Later, when Wei Min found out about this decision, he scolded me for being stupid.

Fine.

He is good looking, whatever he says is right.
