"Qi Yue, is that you?"

Zhao Tienan's throat moved twice, and he said in astonishment.

His thoughts instantly returned to the summer ten years ago, when he was still a middle school student, clear and innocent.

At that time, Zhao Tienan never skipped class, because he could see his most admired deskmate, Qi Yue, in the classroom.

Back then, Qi Yue was an absolute top student, quiet and always liked to write some youthful melancholy essays.

Of course, her literary talent was also remarkable.

Qi Yue was the first girl Zhao Tienan liked during his youthful awakening, with no ulterior motives, just wanting to make her laugh every day and quietly admire her two dimples.

Later, Zhao Tienan wrote Qi Yue a love letter, using almost every flowery word he knew.

Unfortunately, Qi Yue rejected Zhao Tienan.

The reason was very simple, she decided not to date during school, but if Zhao Tienan was willing to wait for her, then when she graduated from university, they would be together.

At that time, Zhao Tienan was heartbroken, feeling like the whole world had collapsed.

But because of that promise, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

So he studied hard, ignoring everything else, hoping to get into the same university as Qi Yue, so they could be together day and night then.

However, to his great surprise, during high school, Qi Yue suddenly transferred schools, and she didn't even say goodbye to Zhao Tienan when she left.

Now, so many years have passed, and that promise from back then has long since blown away with the wind, even like a joke.

Sometimes, Zhao Tienan would suddenly think of it, but aside from heartache, he no longer harbored any desires.

He never would have thought that he would see his first love goddess again in such a situation today.

This is simply a huge irony!

"Zhao Tienan, it's been... a long time..."

Qi Yue brushed a wisp of hair behind her ear, her gaze evasive, speaking with some nervousness.

"You two know each other?"

"Interesting, well then, why don't you stay with Doctor Zhao, everyone else can leave."

Boss Qiu grinned, speaking with deep meaning.

"Oh, all right..."

Qi Yue bit her lip, hesitantly walking over, and finally sat down next to Zhao Tienan.

"Ahem."

Zhao Tienan lightly coughed twice, feeling emotionally chaotic, like a tangled mess growing inside him, not knowing where to start.

"Doctor Zhao, when meeting an old friend, at least have a drink first, right?"

At this moment, Boss Qiu handed over two bottles of beer, as a way to lighten the mood.

"Alright, Qi Yue, this one, let's toast to our youth first."

Zhao Tienan didn't even know which nerve was misfiring, but after a long pause, he came out with this, then tilted his head back and downed the bottle.

"This..."

Qi Yue was a bit dumbfounded, awkwardly taking the empty bottle from Zhao Tienan's hand.

"Are you doing well now?"

Zhao Tienan wiped the remaining beer from his mouth and slowly asked.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Qi Yue glanced at the number tag on her chest, which was a mark of shame for her: "My dad is bedridden with a serious illness, and I have to do something for him, that's why I met you here today, maybe it's just a joke fate is playing on me..."
