Because it was the ninth grade, classes started very early in the morning, so every day at half-past six, the sound of Sheng Shi would punctually ring out at the Gu Family's doorstep, "Ye Chuchu, Chu Chu, Chu'er, you're late!"
Back then, Gu Lanshan and Sheng Shi weren't desk mates, even though both had mobile phones, but Sheng Shi insisted on being trendy, opting for the old-school method of "sending pigeons"—passing notes.
Gu Lanshan sat at the far left of the first row back then, and Sheng Shi sat at the far right of the last row; they were diagonally across from each other, the longest distance within a classroom, so Sheng Shi's notes had to pass through several classmates' hands before reaching Gu Lanshan.
Until one day, while Sheng Shi was passing a note to Gu Lanshan, just as it reached her hands and before she could read it, the class teacher pushed open the door and caught them red-handed.
