Each Other's First Love

Before long, Si Mingchen stopped the car in front of a high school based on Wen Zhi’s navigation.

He looked at the familiar school emblem and asked Wen Zhi, “Missing school?”

Wen Zhi pulled Si Ming’s hand and, knowing the way, discussed with the security guard at the entrance before entering the high school together.

Everything here seemed unfamiliar to Wen Zhi, as if it had suddenly changed overnight.

Upon reaching the third floor of the teaching building, Wen Zhi pointed to the second-to-last row of the fifth classroom, saying, “Look, that’s your seat.”

After so many years, Si Mingchen couldn’t even remember the specific location of his seat himself.

Wen Zhi stood by the back door of the classroom and kept looking at that seat. “You don’t know, before I met you, I used to stand here countless times, just watching you.”

This topic weighed a little heavy on Si Mingchen.

Si Mingchen tried to sound cheerful. “Why didn’t you study properly? What were you doing here watching me?”

Wen Zhi defended himself, “I always came during the long breaks. You guys were busy with your studies and never left the classroom. I would stand here and secretly watch you. I really wanted to get to know you back then, I would gaze longingly every day.”

Si Mingchen asked, “Then let me test you. What did you see when you watched me here?”

Wen Zhi blurted out, “There was one time when I saw you reading a book, it seemed to be called ‘Egmont.’ That day, you were in a bad mood, and I felt the same.”

At the mention of “Egmont”, memories from Si Mingchen’s past slowly flooded back.

He remembered the contents of that book, and he also remembered why he had been reading it.

Suddenly, he remembered something, and a sense of foreboding crept over him.

“Are you sure that when I was reading ‘Egmont,’ we didn’t know each other yet?”

Wen Zhi nodded. “I’m sure. That day, I secretly looked it up online. It’s a famous tragic literature book, and I started reading it because of you. I cried for a long time under the covers that night.”

Not right.

“No right.” Si Mingchen whispered.

When he read that book, it was the day before he went abroad.

That day, he was packing his things and happened to open this tragic literature that he had never read before.

He spent a long time reading that afternoon.

In the end, he stood in front of the window of the boy he liked for a moment, then left alone.

Wen Zhi asked, “What do you mean, not right?”

Si Mingchen replied, “The scene you described was from the day before I went abroad. According to reason, you shouldn’t remember those memories.”

After Si Mingchen reminded him, Wen Zhi also felt a sense of confusion in his heart. However, for some reason, that scene appeared vividly in his mind.

“But that night, I was really sad and cried a lot while holding a little winter melon. I remember my dad heard it outside the room and thought I was being bullied, so he got really angry.”

“But at that time, I hadn’t given you the little winter melon yet,” Si Mingchen said.

Wen Zhi thought for a moment and asked, “Then why?”

Deep down, Si Mingchen had a guess, but he didn’t tell Wen Zhi.

That was, Wen Zhi knew that he had left the country that day and was very sad. But Wen Zhi should know the reason why he went abroad. It was Wen Zhi who refused him and did not give him the chance to meet him, and had the maids persuade him to leave.

Wait a minute.

Si Mingchen began to doubt, was it really Wen Zhi who persuaded him to leave through the servant?

Or was it Wen Qishan?

But they were only 17 years old at that time, and Wen Qishan had no reason to target him.

The threads of his thoughts became increasingly tangled, and the painful memories of the past flooded in, causing Si Mingchen to have a splitting headache.

At this moment, Wen Zhi held Si Mingchen’s hand and said, “Si Si, let me take you somewhere.”

“Where?” Si Mingchen asked.

Wen Zhi didn’t say anything but led him along the teaching building of the school to a tree in front of the auditorium.

“Do you know that our school has a wishing tree?” Wen Zhi said.

“I don’t know,” Si Mingchen replied.

Wen Zhi pointed to the tree and said, “This tree is called the ‘Scholar Tree.’ It is said that if you sincerely make a wish, your wish will come true.”

Si Mingchen asked, “So, do you have a wish to make to it today?”

Wen Zhi shook his head and said, “My wish has already come true.”

Si Mingchen gazed at the ancient tree, seeming a bit puzzled. “Then why are we here?”

Wen Zhi explained, “We’re revisiting this place today to have it bear witness. Sisi and I liked each other when we were studying here, but unfortunately, we couldn’t be together. Today, we ask this tree to be a witness to the time when we secretly loved each other and please grant us the permission to be together.”

Looking at Wen Zhi’s sincere expression, Si Mingchen remained silent for a long time. Despite not believing in gods, he closed his eyes and repeated the wish in his heart, just like Wen Zhi.

After a moment, Wen Zhi raised their joined hands and declared, “I announce that we are together.”

Si Mingchen couldn’t comprehend and asked, “Aren’t we already together?”

Wen Zhi smiled and said, “Silly, when I say ‘together,’ I mean that we were already together ten years ago. From now on, we will be each other’s first love, and there will be no more regrets. The next time we go out, we can brag and say that we had a campus romance and that we were both incredibly happy.”
