That first encounter, he finally understood the feeling of first love.

Even though she didn't look at him, he felt awkward and self-conscious, wondering if his clothes and hair were alright.

When her gaze swept over, he would quickly turn away in fright.

He always considered himself thick-skinned, but he never thought he could blush so easily. He felt like he was about to burst into flames.

Then she got off, walking past him. His whole body stiffened, and he screamed internally, ‘Help! Ahhhhh she's coming over, oh my god! She's even more beautiful up close, ahhhhh am I crazy? A creep! Yes, that's right, those creepy subway perverts in anime are just like me! No! Waaaaaa I'm not a pervert, I'm not a creepy stalker.’

After that, he would take the subway at this time every day to hang out with Qi Han, dressed to the nines, sporting a haircut he got with his dad's gold card at the barbershop, hoping to run into her again.

Although he only saw her twice after that, he was already very content and happy. By the third time she got off the train near him, he could finally manage not to blush.

‘I'm so awesome, hehe.’

He thought proudly.

Then, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because when school started, he became a senior in high school, busy all day long, and couldn't go to the subway to encounter her anymore. Even during winter and monthly vacations, he never ran into her on the subway.

God knows how sad he was. He was heartbroken, just like that!

He never expected that fate would be so kind, allowing him to meet her again after a year.

She was even more beautiful.

Feng Yi secretly set the stolen photo as his phone's wallpaper and peeked at Qiao Li.

She looked tired in her high heels. ‘Sigh, how pitiful, why isn't anyone offering her a seat—Holy crap! Is that guy trying to grope my goddess?!’

Feng Yi was furious. Watching Qiao Li constantly squeeze forward to avoid the man, he wished he could pin the guy down and beat him up.

He pushed through the crowd, passing by the man, elbowing him hard in the stomach, then stood next to Qiao Li, glaring at the man.

The man initially wanted to get angry, but seeing Feng Yi's 1.8-meter tall frame and youthful vigor, he decided against it.

Feng Yi stood beside Qiao Li, shielding her from the coming and going crowd, creating a space for her. He felt incredibly satisfied. Today's harvest was plentiful. Not only did he get a picture of her, but he was also this close to her for the first time. 

‘Life is so good!’

He was so happy he was dizzy, his brain not reacting as he followed Qiao Li off the train.

It wasn't until he was out of the station that he came to his senses, helplessly buying a popsicle at the nearby convenience store to clear his head.

He had just taken out his phone to pay, hadn't even unlocked it, when he heard a pleasant female voice beside him, "Put it all on one bill."

He instinctively turned his head. His goddess was right there, smiling at him.  "Thank you for earlier."

In an instant, peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, and spring flowers bloomed in Feng Yi's inner world.  All the flowers were in bloom.

He looked down and saw Qiao Li holding four cans of beer, while he was holding an incredibly childish popsicle!

He felt momentarily despairing, lost in thought, before Qiao Li finished paying and left with her beer.
