At the gathering of college classmates, in order to collect materials for my new novel, I interviewed a former male classmate, whom I had a crush on for many years.

I was drunk that night and talked a lot. At last, I directly asked him, "Why did you break up with the prom queen back in college? Is it for the sake of your physical..."

Before I could finish my words, I fell into his arms.

When I woke up the next morning, Nathan looked at me with a serious gaze.

"Do you remember what you did last night?"

1

"Well..."

I stammered. After a while, I finally calmed myself down and said, "As you can see, it was just an accident."

"An accident?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly and loosened his grip. At the same time, the quilt slipped downward, revealing the blood stains on his collarbone and other parts of his body.

"Are these done by accident too?"

I took a glance at Nathan's beautiful collarbone and found that some blood was seeping out from the

    4I first officially met Nathan in the election of the class monitor after entering the school.Actually, I had seen him a few times before that.Even though he was wearing ordinary clothes, his back was always straight. I could easily see him in the crowd at the first glance.It was at the time when he was elected as the class monitor that I found out that he had been rejected by his dream university, which was a top university in the country, because he was three points short. Unfortunately for him, he became my classmate.At last, he was elected as the class monitor with a unanimous vote, and I became a normal student.It was the first time in the programming class that I had seen the enormous gap between him and me.When I was still confused by the pile of new concepts, he had already been able to write codes skillfully. In less than 20 minutes, he finished three computer testing questions and got full marks of 300.In the evening, during the self-study time, I shamelessly

    6"Last time at the class reunion, I wanted to go with Nathan at first, but something came up at the laboratory, so I let him go alone."Monica shook her head and appeared to be helpless and said, "I hope he has brought you my greetings to you.""I didn't notice," I said casually. "In the end, everyone else left. Then I talked to Nathan about the past."Monica didn't answer. Instead, she raised her hand and called the waiter over. She ordered two cups of latte and a cup of hot Americano. Then, she gently said to Nathan, "Nathan, you're only used to drinking Americano, right?"I watched her perform coldly. It was not until the waiter served three cups of coffee that I reached out to pick up the one ordered for Nathan. I tilted my head and looked at him with a smile, saying, "I suddenly want to drink Americano. Can I have it, Nathan?"Nathan's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Okay."Then, in front of Monica, I gulped down Nathan's Americano and put the glass with lipstick marks bac

    8It took me three days to finish writing the chapters to be updated the next week, and then I called Julia and said that I was going to the school to see her.She was surprised and asked, "Really? I remember you said that you would never come back again."For me, the four years in college was not a pleasant memory. What was more, I didn't even have time to attend the graduation ceremony in the end. And the graduation certificate was sent to me by Nathan.I had endured so much in college and would never want to come back again.I fiddled with the little astronaut for a while, and then casually threw it into the storage drawer. I smiled on the phone and said, "I miss you so much. After all, the food in the canteen is nice. I want to go back and try it again."Finally, I made an appointment with Julia to meet on the first floor of the cafeteria at noon the next day."Jess, how are you doing recently?" Julia stuffed some vegetables into her mouth. Then she sighed and said, "My ment

    10In the following two months, Nathan visited me a few more times.The dreams that had appeared before my eyes many times in the middle of the night finally turned into reality at this moment.As I swam between dreamland and reality, I gradually felt a sense of confusion, until I was pulled back to reality by Nathan's body temperature.One night, after everything quieted down, I got up wearily, grabbed Nathan's shirt, and casually put it on. Then, I went to the balcony to enjoy the scenery.Nathan folded the quilt, took out a thick velvet cloak, wrapped me in it, and lowered his head to tie it patiently.I took the chance to grab his hand and led him to look in that direction. "Look over there."The moment Nathan tilted his head, there was a beautiful firework in the sky in the distance."Someone set off fireworks over there now and then, and it always lasts for over two hours. It is not cheap. I've searched online and found that the villas over there are exceptionally expensi

    12"My car is parked in the opposite parking lot."I explained to Nathan, causing him to show a slightly surprised expression. He said, "You really drove here... I thought it was just a joke.""Of course I need to drive here. Otherwise, how can I make her completely mad?"I opened the car door, raised my eyebrows at him, and said, "Get in."I got my driver's license after graduation last year and then bought a nice car with the remuneration.I didn't like to go out, and I was particularly afraid of trouble. I was always worried that I wouldn't be able to find a parking space when I drove out, so I rarely drove.Apart from Julia, Nathan was the first person to sit in the passenger seat of my car.I drove in the direction of my home and stopped in front of the convenience store near my neighborhood. I turned to Nathan and said, "Go and buy something for me."He was slightly stunned. "What do you want?"I turned my head, put my hand into my pocket, and took out an empty cigarett

    14Did Monica really like Nathan?I bet since Monica was born, she had always been able to get whatever she wanted.To her, Nathan was a challenge, and I was an obstacle on her way to success.For her, our lives were just an insignificant game.She was always that arrogant.That night, after listening to Nathan's explanation, I was silent for a long time before I looked up at him again."Nathan," I said. "Let me work with you."I want to lure Monica to trick me. By then, I'll use the chance to catch her weakness. I won't let her destroy my life again."My original plan was to let Monica make things difficult for me again with the help of Sophie.As for me, I had secretly contacted a few authors who had a good relationship with me. I planned to report to the website that Sophie, the director, had accepted bribes, forged the list, and suppressed the new authors...I had prepared to abandon the pen name and the works under this name.But Nathan stopped me.My face was clearly

    16About a week later, I received a parcel from the city where Nathan was. The sender's name was Nathan.After getting rid of the layers of explosion-proof packaging, I saw what the gift was.It was a miniature moon model, and the texture of the material seemed familiar. I gently stroked its surface and it took me a long time to remember.It was made of the same material as the astronaut Nathan sent in the past.I got up and went to the bedroom. I took out the small astronaut from the drawer and put the two things together. Only then did I realize that the moon model didn't seem to be brand new. The tiny traces left on its body was basically the same as those left on the small astronaut.It was as if they were born to be one.On the spur of the moment, I took a picture of the two things and post it on my social media.Not long after, someone sent me a message. "That moon model has fallen into your hands eventually."The guy who sent the message was called Michael Brown. He was

    22When I talked to the editor about the copyright and officially signed the contract, it was almost the end of the year.That morning, I woke up in a daze and picked up a phone call.Then I heard Julia's excited voice come from the other end of the phone. "Jess, watch the morning news, now!""...What?""Watch the morning news. Damn! Nathan is amazing! He is so talented. I can't even believe his existence! Watch it now, Jess!"I sat up in a daze and clicked on the video that Julia just sent me, feeling sleepy.Then I woke up in an instant.It was a short piece of morning news. The general idea was that a graduate student of a famous school would be directly hired as a senior talent because of his breakthrough in technology and tracking algorithm.And this graduate student's name was Nathan Turner.At that moment, I suddenly recalled what Nathan had said before he left my house that afternoon.He said that he would see me soon.Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagine

    3The test finished in two days. It was the first time in two years that I didn't feel that nervous about the exam.After that, I resumed my life with the previous study routine.A few days later, my grades came out. I couldn't calm down for a long time after I got my result.Jared turned around and smiled at me, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "I told you that you can do it. You ought to listen to a straight-A student like me."I smiled, too. It was my best grade ever.

    2He replied to me expressionlessly, "You're welcome. Just don't be a burden to the group."I gathered myself.But I was still curious about why he chose me. I wondered if it was because I was a good friend of Mellissa.At night, I went home and pondered about the turn of events for a while but was still a little baffled.I took out my phone and sent him a message on WhatsApp: [Why did you choose me as a group member?]After I finished my homework and almost dozed off, he replied: [You really don't know why I chose you?]I answered honestly: [I don't.]After a while, he replied: [I was the one who asked the vice principal to let you stay. I can't watch you keep coming last in class. Your deskmate ranks 11th, while my deskmate ranks 12th. I have chosen two top students to average your scores. If you don't study hard, you will drag the three of us down.]After reading his message, which felt like a lecture, I felt like an incompetent student.Following that, he started training

    9A few days ago, Daniel lost his key. In case he opened the door and came in tonight, I took the spare key he kept under the doormat.I took several bottles of beer from the fridge and drank them one by one.I had no idea how much I had drunk. My head was dizzy and I was completely drunk. In a daze, I seemed to hear the sound of the door lock rattling.Then it became quiet again.But soon, the sound of water boiling and the clink of cups came from the kitchen.After a while, I heard the steady footsteps of a man slowly approaching me.The light in front of me dimmed, and something icy covered my forehead. Then I heard Daniel say in a low voice, "You have stomach illness. You shouldn't have drunk so much."He lifted my chin gently and whispered in a comforting voice, "Honey, get up and drink some honey water."I closed my eyes and dodged his hand unconsciously."Listen to me," Daniel said patiently.His words were like a pebble thrown into an even lake, which sobered me up

    7Daniel was my real boyfriend.That night on Valentine's Day, I did give Jason a hand-copied copy of Shakespeare's sonnets, accompanied Horace to take the Ferris wheel, and finally went to the supermarket with Daniel.All these were reasonable.I had a crush on Daniel since I was in grade 10.At that time, I just transferred from another city. I hadn't yet adapted to the learning environment here, so I failed the first month's exam.As a result, my teacher asked Daniel, my desk-mate, to tutor me in my studies. He and I would do homework in the classroom for a half hour after school.I recalled the calm, cool look in Daniel's eyes, his gentle voice as he carefully explained the math problems, the coffee he handed me when I was sleepy, and the considerate way he stopped to wait for me in the dim corridor.There were countless moments when I fell in love with him.When I was about to tell him about it, Daniel became my brother in name.I plucked up my courage and wrote a love l

    4In a burst of noise, the three of them walked up to me.The classroom suddenly quieted down.Curiosity, envy, jealousy... All sorts of gazes rushed to me.Horace said briskly, "Amanda, I'm coming to attend class with you!"Jason said softly, "It's my first time accompanying my girlfriend in her class. Just tell me if you have any advice."Horace retorted, "I'm Amanda's boyfriend!"Daniel just looked at me and said quietly, "You forgot to take the notes I organized for you last night."I heard many people gasping.From the corner of my eye, I saw the pale faces and unbelievable looks of Portia and Jenifer.Jason asked Joyce with a smile, "Can I switch seats with you?"Joyce looked between Jason and me.In a trance, she nodded and left her seat stiffly.So this was how it went.Daniel sat on my left, Jason sat on my right, and Horace sat behind me, poking me with his hand from time to time. More and more students came to see them, almost filling the classroom.The teac
