Three years is enough time for even the most unfamiliar pair to become good friends, let alone when their desks have always stood side by side.
During these three years, both He Xing and Ji Liangchuan received enough love letters to fill a truck, and actually, He Xing received even more than Ji Liangchuan.
Then, Ji Liangchuan went abroad to an utterly unfamiliar place, with neither parent by his side and everything having to be managed on his own, the only company being the Servant who came along to take care of him.
Being young, Ji Liangchuan didn't settle in very well and started to miss his time back in his home country. He tentatively sent He Xing an email and, to his surprise, got a reply.
That was when their true friendship began. While Ji Liangchuan hadn't completely adjusted to his new environment, he would always email He Xing. Although He Xing didn't reply to every message, he would respond once or twice a week.
