She remembered the details. They were clear as daylight in her mind.

At the time, the cartoon’s latest episode had ended at a cliffhanger. Hence, she had kept thinking about it all day and when the evening study session came, she had wanted to get her friends to go and watch it with her.

Her thinking then was that, even if they got caught, the school couldn’t do much if there was a big group of them.

And if her parents interrogated her when she got home, she could use Sun Linan as a shield.

But when night time came and the hostel lights went out, she still hadn’t managed to get out. She had tried all ways to persuade the auntie at the hostel, to no avail. In the end, she had decided to jump out of her hostel room window.

After she escaped, she clearly remembered Lu Nanze’s expression, which changed immediately.

And his temper had flared up too, strangely.

At the time, she had felt that Lu Nanze was a prickly person to handle, but now she understood. He had lost his temper because… he was worried about her?

Qiao Lian looked at him in astonishment.

He took a step forward and continued, “That night, when we pulled an all-nighter, you kept rolling your eyes at me. Then the next day, when we were in class, you fell asleep. The teacher even called you to answer questions.”

At this point, the corners of his lips turned up as he broke into a smile.

Qiao Lian remembered that episode.

She had stood her book upright and rested her chin on the desk behind it. Then she slept like a sloth.

At some point, Sun Linan had poked her shoulder to wake her and whispered at the same time, “The teacher’s asking you. Hurry and answer the question, the answer is A!”

Behind her, Lu Nanze said softly, “Select B!”

Then on her other side, another classmate said, “The answer’s D.”

After hearing the three of them, she rolled her eyes, stood up and said in her lovely and crisp voice, “Teacher, my answer’s C!”

She couldn’t help gloating after giving her answer.

She felt rather clever for having not fallen for their tricks.

But the next moment, reality cut her like a knife.

The teacher said, “Qiao Lian! This is a true or false question!”

Dang.

She could not help smiling at these memories.

She shook her head slightly.

Lu Nanze continued to lead her ahead, towards the field. He pointed at it and said in a low voice while looking at her, “I still remember in our third year…”

Her pupils shrank immediately at those words.

She remembered.

They were in class when his butler suddenly dashed into the classroom.

He asked to speak with the teacher outside. They didn’t know what the content of exchange had been, but when the teacher came back in, she said, “Lu Nanze, pack up your belongings and go home now.”

At the time, he looked confused, but stood up and packed up.

Envying for not having to be in class, she sent him an eye signal and glared at him.

Then he left, following their butler.

That week, Qiao Lian stayed in the hostel and did not return home.

It was only five days later that Lu Nanze came back to school.

However, he looked like his soul had been sucked out of him and he was like a zombie wandering around.

He sat in his seat and did not speak a word to anyone around him.

Later on, during their self-study session…

She suddenly discovered that he had gone out by himself.

She ran after him.

In the end, she found him on the field.

He had a bottle of beer in his hand and was crying hard as he drank.

Back then, their group attended school under fake names.

People around did not know their real identities and status.
