Chapter 27
I met Xu Siyan again during the high school anniversary celebration a week later.
Walking through the familiar campus, I encountered him.
He stood on the tall spiral staircase.
Our eyes met.
I instantly recalled the day I first saw him.
It was also beneath this spiral staircase.
I was wearing a jacket that my mother insisted I wear to save money, which belonged to my brother.
As I passed under the staircase, I heard a burst of laughter from the boys above.
Turning back, I saw Xu Siyan standing on the stairs with a few other boys.
“Siyan, why is there a girl wearing your men’s jacket?”
“Hahaha, wearing men’s clothes and still matching with a girl!”
My face flushed red.
Xu Siyan smiled lightly and came to my rescue:
“Never seen unisex clothing? She looks better in it than I do.”
“Let’s go, class is starting.”
That day, Xu Siyan felt like a boulder landing on my heart.
For many years after, it never budged an inch.
Until I encountered my Sisyphus.
He finally remembered, his eyes slightly moved:
“Shuyue, so we met back in high school.”
“So it was that early.”
