With her eyes closed, she lifted her head forcefully. She tried her best to suppress the tears pooling in her eyes. When she finally managed to prise open her eyelids, she saw him.
At first, she thought she was hallucinating. She blinked once, twice, making sure she wasn't mistaken.
It was really him.
The student named Jiang.
He was looking at her, his head slightly lowered.
She sat on the ground, backpack tossed beside her feet, looking up at him.
The rooftop scene seemed to pause like someone had pressed the pause button, fixed on this moment.
The two gazed at each other for a good while, then Jiang Su broke the silence on the rooftop, "Damn it..."
He only got out three words before he stopped.
Only then did Lin Wei realize his breathing was erratic and he was panting heavily.
He was covered in sweat, trickling down his pale face from the dampness of his hair, disappearing into the collar of his shirt.
He had clearly run here at a great speed.
