In early autumn, the bulletin board at Maplehara High School was crowded with freshmen who had just taken the entrance exam.
Guo Beng, carrying a black backpack slung over one shoulder, coldly walked through the noisy crowd. His gaze fell on the name at the very top of the honor roll—Maple Plains Manyo.
"Finally found it." He muttered to himself, a smirk playing on his lips, a determined glint in his eyes.
They were childhood sweethearts. Before the age of eight, Asan and Manyo were almost inseparable. But later, a change occurred in the Raiden family, and Asan was sent abroad by his mother, and the two lost contact completely.
When Asan walked around the teaching building and finally saw the person on the bench under the cherry blossom tree, the other person's reaction was like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head.
Wan Ye, dressed in a clean student council uniform, was looking down at a book of poems. A gentle breeze ruffled his white hair, and his expression was as gentle as he remembered. Sensing someone approaching, Wan Ye looked up, his red eyes filled with complete unfamiliarity and politeness.
"Hello, classmate." Wan Ye closed her book and smiled slightly. "Is there anything I can help you with? If you can't find your classroom, I can take you there."
classmate.
Polite, distant, and utterly indifferent.
Asan clenched his fist tightly in his pocket, staring intently into Wanye's eyes, trying to find even the slightest flaw in her pretense, but there was nothing in those eyes except for clear concern.
He completely forgot about himself.
“…No need.” Asan snorted coldly, his voice carrying an undisguised barb and barely perceptible grievance. “I’m not lost, I’m here to find someone.”
"Looking for someone?" Wan Ye was slightly taken aback. "Is it your friend? What does he look like? I can help you keep an eye out."
Asan looked into Wanye's oblivious red eyes and felt a dull ache in his chest. Instead of launching into a long accusation, he reached into his pocket, pulled out an old photograph with slightly yellowed edges, and slapped it onto the face-up pages of Wanye's poetry collection with a snap.
“This is what he looks like,” Asan said coldly.
Man Ye lowered his gaze, which fell on the photograph.
The photo shows two boys, around eight years old, sitting under a huge red maple tree. The boy on the left has white hair and a red mark on his forehead, smiling broadly at the camera; while the boy on the right, with short dark blue hair, is being awkwardly puffed out by the white-haired boy, his eyes brimming with laughter.
Man-yo's pupils suddenly dilated.
That photograph was like a rusty yet sharp key, instantly unlocking the long-sealed door to his memories deep within his mind. Countless fragmented images, the fragrance of maple leaves, and that always awkward yet extremely dependent little figure surged forth in that instant, completely overlapping with the boy who had returned from a foreign land before him.
"...A-San?"
Wan Ye suddenly looked up, his voice trembling slightly with extreme shock and ecstatic joy at having found what he had lost. He didn't even care about the photo; he stood up abruptly and grabbed Asan's shoulder.
"It's you...it really is you? You've returned to China?!"
