Chapter 2

Ayden walked in wearing a black suit, and the lively room where they were chatting suddenly became quiet.

Seeing him, Harper's breath suffocated, and her reaction was a little slower. Everyone was already greeting Ayden.

That familiar figure has become a bit unfamiliar. He who was once so high-spirited now has a more mature and steady temperament, with a hint of indifference between his brows.

Ayden walked towards everyone, with a smile on his cold face, "Sorry for keeping everyone waiting."

Andrew stepped forward and greeted him to sit down, "It's okay, we didn't wait long."

"Yes, yes, yes . ."

Everyone echoed.

"Ayden, we must take a photo together later. Where is this man of the financial channel?"

Ayden chuckled lightly, "Thank you."

He looked up at a girl next to Sofia and stepped forward. He asked politely, "Can the two of us change places?"

Everyone knew that Ayden and Sofia were friends who had known each other since childhood, so the girl didn't think much and directly changed places for him.

Standing next to Sofia, Ayden gave her a look and motioned for her to move to the side.

Sofia glanced at him and said speechlessly, "What are you doing?"

Although she was dissatisfied, She moved her seat.

Seeing him sit down next to her, Harper's heart was beating violently, as if it would jump out of her body the next moment.

She pinched her clothes tightly where no one could see her, mustered up the courage to look at him and smiled politely.

Ayden came closer to her and whispered in her ear with a magnetic voice: "Long time no see, Harper."

From the first of high school to the present, Harper has beem secretly in love with Ayden for eight years. All the memories are awakened, long time no see, my youth.

*2015\, Middle School\, Library.*

Harper raised her head, weakly pushed down her black-framed glasses, and looked desperately at the books placed high up.

She was complaining in her heart, couldn't this library consider a short student?

Although she is not too short, at over 1.60 meters, the height of the book is difficult for her to reach even if she tries to stand on her tiptoes.

It was a little difficult for her. It was only five centimeters away, but she just couldn't touch it.

At this time, a slender hand stretched out, easily took the book she wanted, and handed it to her, "Is it this one?"

Harper turned around, and what she saw was a handsome young man, loosely the baggy white-blue school uniform worn on him gave him an indescribably delicate look.

He looks a bit bohemian on the outside, but there is a dazzling smile on his face.

Harper realized that she was too busy looking at him and carefully took the book from his hands.

"Thank you."

The boy smiled brightly, nodded slightly, and turned around to leave.

Looking at the boy's back, Harper realized that he was her classmate Ayden.

*Grade 9\, Class 3*

The head teacher was announcing the results of the monthly exam.

"The first place is Ayden Scott."

The boy sitting in the back row stood up. Under everyone's warm applause, he took back the monthly exam paper from the teacher.

Harper sat in a seat by the window, pushed up the black glasses on the bridge of her nose, looked at the outstanding young man, and felt a little fluttering in her heart.

Thinking about her mediocre grades, she sighed in frustration and complained from time to time about how she could be so stupid and couldn't learn no matter how hard she studied.

She kept watching him sit back in his seat  before looking back.

Mark, who was sitting next to Ayden, joked, "No.1  again, brother. I want to ask you, if I didn't see you studying every day, where did you steal the answers?" Ayden smiled, "Brother, this is called cleverness, you don't have such a thing in your brain."

Mark curled his lips speechlessly, looked at the second place not far away, and complained, "Don't let Max hear what you said. By the way, he is quite pitiful. He has been in the same class with us since junior high school, and he has been ranked second every time. He studies so hard that he has become a nerd, and his final score is not as good as you who are ignorant and incompetent."

Ayden glanced at Max and just smiled.

After school, Harper returned home, changed into slippers, and looked in the direction of the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm back."

Mother's voice came from the kitchen.

"Dinner will be served soon. You can play by yourself for a while first."

"Harper."

Harper went to her room and sat at the desk. Thinking of the sparkling young man, she opened her drawing diary and started drawing him.
