The day before Tan Yizhe left, a girl in An Shengmei's room asked An Shengmei if she knew Tan Yizhe was leaving. An Shengmei was at a loss. "I don't know." The girl said that she had heard it from her teacher, causing An Shengmei's heart to fall into chaos.

The next day, An Shengmei didn't eat breakfast. On the way, she blocked Tan Yizhe's path that Tan Yizhe had to cross. Although the teacher would definitely cause trouble for them if he saw this, An Shengmei didn't care too much.

An Shengmei asked Tan Yizhe directly, "Are you really going to be admitted into an A grade school?"

Tan Yizhe looked at the ground and said: "Yes."

An Shengmei said, "What about me?"

Tan Yizhe was silent for a moment before saying: "You can go to the S high school's entrance exam. I'm not going, my parents don't allow me to go. Take the exam well, I wish you happiness." With that, he turned around and left, leaving no room for others.

An Shengmei wanted to cry, but she couldn't. Perhaps her tears had already dried.

Before Tan Yizhe left, An Shengmei begged someone to give Tan Yizhe a letter saying that if Tan Yizhe didn't leave, An Shengmei would promise him anything.

Tan Yizhe did not reply because there was no time. An Shengmei bought a Post-it that was shaped like a love note. From that day on, An Shengmei wrote her thoughts about Tan Yizhe every day and prepared to write it down for Tan Yizhe. Those forced sentences were like catkins scattered in the air, fluttering in the sky but never taking root.

Tan Yizhe packed up his stuff and went to A grade school. However, on the third night, Tan Yizhe returned to An Shengmei's school. When Tan Yizhe appeared in front of An Shengmei, An Shengmei was shocked speechless.

"The Education Bureau issued a notice saying that they are not allowed to enrol early and that all middle school students are required to take the middle school exam," Tan Yizhe said.

An Shengmei smiled and said, "I also haven't been accepted for the S exam. I'm still short of a multiple choice or fill in the blank exam scores."

An Shengmei and Tan Yizhe looked at each other and smiled. Both of them understood each other.

In the following days, An Shengmei and Tan Yizhe became very busy. There were only 20 days left before the entrance exams. Tan Yizhe was closely watched by the teachers and An Shengmei was the same. Therefore, the two of them basically couldn't meet each other every day. An Shengmei bought a notebook with a sad cover. She asked the students in Tan Yizhe's class to give it to Tan Yizhe, asking him to write one fourth of that notebook, because An Shengmei only allowed four people to write that notebook.

An Shengmei hurriedly hid the notebook when it was returned to her hands, so as to avoid the teacher flipping through it. The teacher really liked to check the students' drawers and bags from time to time to see if they had any notes, letters, control tools, cell phones, MP3, MP4, MP5 and the like.

After the evening self-study, An Shengmei looked at page after page by page under the light of the dorm lights. The most impressive thing was that Tan Yizhe mentioned how much Tan Yizhe had done for An Shengmei and mentioned many examples. Although it made An Shengmei feel that he was being a bit pretentious, because there was no need to say it out loud for someone else, otherwise, Tan Yizhe would have done so much for someone else.

For example, on a Friday, all the teachers in the office and Tan Yizhe's parents called Tan Yizhe into the office, forcing Tan Yizhe to delete An Shengmei's QQ number in front of them, and gave Tan Yizhe two choices. One, break off all relations with An Shengmei, and two, if Tan Yizhe doesn't agree, the next person standing here is An Shengmei. Tan Yizhe chose to cut off all ties with An Shengmei.

An Shengmei thought that it was no wonder that An Shengmei couldn't enter Tan Yizhe's space for a period of time, because Tan Yizhe could only enter when he had a good friend list in his space.

Also, Tan Yizhe had suffered a slap on An Shengmei's head teacher's face for her. At that time, the head teacher had also said that if he didn't break off his relationship with An Shengmei, the next person to be beaten would be An Shengmei. No wonder the head teacher said something so serious to her last time.

Also, during Tan Yizhe's absence, he wrote a lot of An Shengmei's name on the paper after class, but it was torn apart by Tan Yizhe's form teacher.

Tan Yizhe said that An Shengmei still had a lot of things she didn't know, making An Shengmei feel that she owed Tan Yizhe a lot.

There were still 20 days before the middle school exam, An Shengmei began to study hard, but she could still manage to keep up. At noon, An Shengmei went to the teacher's office to do homework. When there were still 10 or 20 minutes left before the end of the afternoon nap, An Shengmei leaned on her desk to take a nap. When there were still 5 minutes left, her watch alarm clock warned her.

An Shengmei also went to her bedroom at night to do her homework. Recalling how she had worked so hard during that period of time, An Shengmei lamented in her heart. Even though she was still frequently found by her teachers, to the point where she had a prejudice against all teachers.

Finally, they arrived at the middle school exam. Those few days, as An Shengmei's school was the middle school exam room, so in order to make room for the exam, the students would review their work on the sports field. Since Tan Yizhe was in class one and An Shengmei was in class two, the two classes were connected.

After lunch, the crowd gradually lessened. Tan Yizhe walked over from class one's review venue and gave An Shengmei a small box. "Open it and take a look." Tan Yizhe said with a smile.

An Shengmei opened the box. It was a white bracelet with Tan Yizhe's initials engraved on it. "Don't miss it, wear it often." Tan Yizhe said.

"Alright." An Shengmei replied with a smile. After returning to her room, An Shengmei couldn't wait to put it on. Looking at the bracelet on her left hand, she smiled in satisfaction.

"?" The second night, An Shengmei and Tan Yizhe arranged to meet in the woods of the school building, where many couples used to date each other. Especially in the middle school exam, the number of couples taking walks increased a lot.

An Shengmei and Tan Yizhe hid in a dark corner before coming out to talk after the dean left. An Shengmei did not remember what they said that day, maybe it was the future, maybe it was now, she only remembered that when they left, Tan Yizhe hugged An Shengmei, slowly approached An Shengmei, and lightly kissed An Shengmei. Thus, An Shengmei's first kiss disappeared.

Strangely, An Shengmei's heart didn't beat any faster, her blood didn't flow backwards, and her face wasn't very hot. It wasn't romantic and beautiful like the novels described, but it was a charming and gentle scene.

An Shengmei made an appointment with Gu Qingyan after the entrance exam. Gu Qingyan seemed to sense something and became more silent than before. They played in the Internet Cafe for a while, and when they parted ways, An Shengmei said: "Let's break up."
