Prologue: The Beginning

Among the stars, countless spaces collide constantly. Who knows what this world will become in the next moment?

The world in my mind is always changing, but reality is different. I am a senior high school student struggling for my future ideal university.

Now it's almost December, and Christmas is less than a month away. After winter vacation, it means that I only have less than half a year left in my high school life.

Drip...drip...drip...

I nervously picked up the phone and carefully put it to my ear...

"Tun Jiuyah, have you decided which university you want to attend?"

Before I could say anything, my mother impatiently asked about school on the other side. Honestly, I really dislike this kind of question now, and I hate it even more when my family asks why. So, I immediately hung up the phone.

Snap!

After a while, the low ringtone sounded again, and I impatiently answered the call.

"Son, it's your father...huh, your mother knows you're not feeling well, but you still have to discuss with your family. In short, if you feel it's not working out, just come back. I won't blame you. You can still work in our family..."

"No... I don't like that kind of job."

It's this annoying topic again. Before my father could say much, I immediately interrupted him and hung up the phone again.

Pursuing my dream is not easy, I absolutely cannot give up here!

For so many years, I have been reminding myself not to forget my original intention. No matter how others look at me, I can always follow my original intention.

Whoosh...

In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off school. Today, I clearly wanted to go to Yu Nai's place to decline the invitation to visit the activity room, but it rained so unexpectedly, which is really unacceptable. Well, even if I decline, I may not be able to go back early, so it's better to just accept it.

"Ugh, wasting time due to various factors all the time. The 24 hours a day are really overdrafting!"

"Um..."

"Hey, buddy, did you forget to bring an umbrella?"

I turned around and saw a big hand touching my hair, and that person pretended to care and asked.

The person in front of me, casual and with some grayish hair, is my classmate and desk mate - Yuanhui.

"Oh, it's you... How about you, did you bring an umbrella?" I sighed.

"Hehe, it's such a coincidence, I also didn't bring one!" He laughed mischievously, then put the hand that was touching my hair on my shoulder, and his body relaxed a little.

Sigh...

Honestly, his appearance at this time is really bad timing, it's like bad luck upon bad luck.

But fortunately, Yuanhui's appearance allowed my attention to be diverted elsewhere, it can be considered as a savior.

Seeing my gloomy expression, Yuanhui couldn't help but say, "Ha, it seems we won't be able to go back for a while. Hey...how about coming to our activity room to have some fun? No activities today, and those PCs, arcade machines, and game consoles are all unoccupied!"

"That can be considered as an activity... forget it, you go by yourself, I really don't have time." I declined.

"Huh, don't you have an activity club? Besides, it's raining so heavily now, you can't go back, right?" Yuanhui was a bit puzzled. Since we got to know each other at the beginning of school, we have become familiar with each other.

But speaking of which, Yu Nai said she would wait for me at the entrance of the teaching building, but now...

After waiting for so long without any news, I directly called her, "Yu Nai, didn't you invite me to see the location of the activity room after school? By the way..."

"Uh uh uh uh uh!!!"

Before I could finish my words, there was a sudden and extremely shocked voice on the other end of the phone, almost scaring me to drop my phone.

"Wow, I thought Juxi would definitely not come!" Yu Nai said in a tone of extreme distrust.

I'm dizzy. I didn't expect Yu Nai to be so prescient. She was the one who invited me first, but she was also the one who insisted that I wouldn't come - it's really troublesome.This is not the first time I have been stood up like this, so I am not surprised. My reply was also as indifferent.

"Well, you certainly know me well."

"Of course, we've known each other since childhood...hehehe."

"Childhood friends? Well, since we are childhood friends, could you please stop startling me like this in the future?"

I shook my head helplessly, and I used my free left hand to rub my sore ear, with a hint of pleading in my tone.
