The young man from next door was now attending another well-known university in Capital City, named Chen Kai.
When the call connected, Chen Kai said, "Lanlan, please come to the Yinghua University sports field today at three in the afternoon, okay?"
Like Ou Lan and Lin Ziran, Chen Kai also came from the Southern city slum, a year older than both, now twenty years old.
In high school, Chen Kai had been their senior.
When Ou Lan and Lin Ziran were in their second year of high school, Chen Kai was about to graduate from his third year.
Just before graduation, Chen Kai had taken Ou Lan under the shaded trees behind the teaching building and confessed his feelings for her, telling her he had liked her since they were children.
At that time, Ou Lan was even more innocent and pure than she was now, and hadn't thought about dating at all. She rejected him like this, "I'm not planning to date before I get into university, as per my grandfather's last wish."
