Just One Time

Mu Yuze did not allow himself to cry and agonize over He Juan's sudden absence, except for one occasion – the day after his birthday.

In his sleep, he seemed to have returned to his sixteenth birthday. It was an ordinary day in winter just like any other. The sky was overcast with thick gloomy clouds, and the air was so cold that each breath he took made him feel like his lungs were freezing.

For his birthday present, he received a leather notebook from Teacher Wei, a curt yet warm-hearted greeting from Master Song Yin, and when Zhong Yun accidentally overheard that, he insisted on dragging Mu Yuze to the convenience store and treated him to the most expensive ramen cup. They stood side by side in the store and slurped down the piping hot ramen while gazing at the snowfall outside the window. At that time, Mu Yuze felt warm and blessed to be surrounded by kindness from so many people.
