The summer vacation in her second year of high school was much shorter than that of her first year. This was due to the fact that she would be entering her third year of high school, and so she had to start extra classes in advance.

Currently only a few students were at school, many of them being 2nd years who were about to enter their 3rd year. Jennie hadn’t seen Gaeul for the latter half of summer and so she was very happy to see her again.

Gaeul’s hometown was far in the northwest. When she came back from her hometown she brought a lot of specialty products to the dormitory, such as raisins and lavender. After spreading it all out, the whole dormitory was filled with the fragrance of lavender.

After allocating the gifts from dormitory to dormitory, Gaeul set aside a few more shares of gifts. She was preparing to give them to a few boys in their extra classes tomorrow.

Gaeul’s personality is like a boy’s, and with the exception of Jennie, she had the best relationship with the boys in their class.

Although at first Jackson had deliberately approached the girls who had a good relationship with Jennie in order to chase her, after a while, with both of their personalities Gaeul and Jackson became friends.

After Gaeul finished sorting her things, her phone rang, and when she picked it up, she saw a WeChat message from Jackson, asking her to sneak down from the dormitory.

Gaeul glanced at Jennie, shook her head helplessly and went downstairs. When she got there she saw a tanned Jackson downstairs.

Jackson explained that he went to Hawaii during summer vacation, so he got very tan. He gave the bag in his hand to Gaeul, saying that this was a souvenir he bought when he was in Hawaii, and that she should split it with her roommates. He then reached into the bag and pulled out a separate gift, and held it for a while before he asked her with an embarrassed look to pass it on to Jennie.

Gaeul looked down and saw that his gift was a bracelet made of pearls and small shells. It was very beautiful, and definitely not cheap.

“I think she might not accept it.” Although Gaeul didn’t want to hit Jackson when he was already down, she still reminded him.

Jackson scratched his head, and smiled revealing his big white teeth that became even whiter compared to his tanned skin, “I won’t accept it back.”

Sighing, Gaeul took the things upstairs, and delivered the gifts one by one, before finally giving the bracelet to Jennie.

Sure enough, Jennie did not accept it.

It would be okay if it was a shell bracelet that was the same as everyone else, but one look at the shiny pearls on the chain and Jennie knew she absolutely couldn’t take it. Putting the bracelet back into the box she prepared to return it to Jackson in class tomorrow.

After everyone else had left and there was only Gaeul and Jennie left, Gaeul let out a sigh, “I know that Jackson blew his confession out of proportion and made it known to the whole school, but he regretted it. It’s been more than half a year, did you not think about it again at all?”

Jennie shook her head honestly, “No.”

“Why?”

Jennie smiled, “There’s nothing wrong, I just don’t like it.”

Jennie took off the small apple jade pendant on her neck, and looked at the newly replaced red strong. The previous one had become tattered after she wore the necklace for too long.

Gaeul looked at the jade pendant carefully, and asked her casually on the bed, “I remember you’ve worn this pendant for a long time.”

“Yeah.”

“You bought it yourself?”

She had seen Jennie’s disgusting family before, and she didn’t think that the Qiao’s would ever Gaeul’s family didn’t think that the Qiao family would buy such things for Jennie. She had seen Jennie’s jade pendant. The quality of the jade was very good and the price was definitely not cheap.

“No”, Jennie put on the jade pendant again. The cold pendant fell on her collarbones in a familiar manner, and Jennie’s eyes bent into crescent, “Lisa gave it to me.”

Gaeul was stunned.

She looked down at Jennie, remembering Jackson’s bracelet that had been rejected, and then her thoughts shifted to the jade pendant that was held so preciously by Jennie.

“Jenjen.” Gaeul suddenly called.

“Huh?”

“You…”

She paused.

Jennie waited for a long time without hearing Gaeul continue, and finally raised her head, looking at Gaeul in confusion.

“Did you finish your summer homework?”

Jennie: …

___________________

When Jennie left the dormitory, Gaeul who was laying in bed let out a long sigh of relief.

Lisa has been away for more than half a year. Whether it was Gaeul or the rest of the class, in the span of over 200 days they had gradually forgotten the name of the unfamiliar boy until Jennied had just mentioned it. It was at that time that Gaeul suddenly discovered that when Jennie talked about Lisa, her tone would become familiar and intimate.

Are you still waiting for him to come back?

Do you… Actually like Lisa…

She wanted to ask Jennie those questions, but she couldn’t bring herself to do so.

Thinking of the teenager in the wheelchair that had faded from her memory, Gaeul found it too bizarre.

It didn’t seem to make much sense to ask this, after all, Lisa had already left.

Extra classes officially started the next day, and the seating in the beginning of the school was another big mess. During this time, everyone seized the time to adjust their seats. Gaeul was the first to head over to where Jennie was in order to sit next to her.

Not to mention that she had a good relationship with Jennie, but also that Jennie’s grades were the first in their grade. Who doesn’t want to sit at the same table with the Xueba in high school.

“Jenjen, we should sit…”

Before she could finish her words, a student who suddenly ran into the room from outside shouted “fuck” several times, his face excited and shocked.

“Holy shit! Guys, guess what I just saw. Or rather who I saw!”

There was a commotion outside the corridor, and many of the students ran over to the windows to look outside and see what it was. The loud exclamations and screams were easily heard through the thin walls of the classroom.

“What’s the matter?”

Jennie turned around and looked at the back door in the classroom.

The turquoise classroom door was pushed open, and the loud noises outside were amplified by many times in an instant. Amidst the exclamation and gasp, the young man who had not been seen for over two hundred days walked in with his slender legs the light of the morning sun shining on him.

Jennie stared blankly at Lisa, who was standing like everyone else.

Suddenly, tears blurred her eyes.

Jennie was usually a very controlled person, but at this moment, seeing Lisa standing and walking like any other person, she couldn’t stop crying.

From January to September, over two hundred days and nights have passed. Lisa never said where he was going, nor has he said whether he would return. Sometimes Jennie really thought that Lisa wouldn’t come back again.

For others, Lisa coming back standing was just a surprising thing. But for Jennie, the moment she saw Lisa again, her heart that had been emptied finally pieced back together piece by piece.

A lot of students from different classes and grade levels stood outside the classroom and looked inside through the open door. Before there was a loud chattering that filled the air, but now the classroom felt almost too quiet.

All eyes were centered on Lisa.

Before, he was already very good looking, but everyone would ignore his looks because of his legs. However, now that he could stand up like everyone else, despite it being so disgustingly hypocritical, everyone finally started to notice.

He was tall with thin and long legs, and his youthful face was extremely pale, just barely past sickly looking. The face that everyone had previously ignored suddenly seemed to have risen by more than one level, and after thinking of what he looked like before only one word appeared in their minds.

Stunning.

Lisa, who stood up, was not inferior to Jackson and Suho at all, instead was even more dazzling than them.

Because before Lisa was able to stand up, everyone used one word to describe him, genius.

The surrounding silence remained for more than ten seconds before everyone returned to their hustling and bustling. Although there were still many people looking in Lisa’s direction from time to time.

Gaeul, who just said that she was going to sit at the same table with Jennie, didn’t even think before she moved to another seat near Jennie.

After that she turned her head and said to Jennie, “Why did Lisa suddenly come back? I didn’t think he wanted to come back. Forget it, since Lisa is back, you should continue to sit at the same table…”

Before Lisa came back, she thought it didn’t matter who Jennie sat with. But when Lisa came back, that position seemed to still be exclusive to him.

Lisa thanked Gaeul, and walked towards Jennie, wanting to say “I’m back” but when he saw Jennie’s wet eyes, his heart was sour and astringent.

Lisa’s eyes trembled. After two hundred days and nights, most of which was spent laying on a bed tired and sore. No one else would understand or know how much he missed her. Whenever Jennie called, and he listened to her voice over the receiver, Lisa wanted to return home immediately.

He missed her so much.

The girl’s eyes were a little red, and her bright black eyes were filled with mist, which made Lisa want to kiss away all of her tears.

But he couldn’t.

Lisa lowered his eye, took out a clean tissue, and handed it to Jennie. However, Jennie seemed to have not recovered, after receiving the tissue, she held the tissue in her hand, but her eyes remained fixed on him.

Lisa was stunned. After a long while, he hesitantly took the tissue from her hand. His fingers were clearly stiff as he held it, but he still approached as much as he could and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes.

As he did this, Jennie felt that her dazed state had slowly faded bit by bit. Finally, she clearly looked at Lisa who was very close to her, and her heart suddenly beat more clearly than usual.

They were still in the classroom, and there were probably classmates around, but Jennie didn’t want to push Lisa away.

Her mood fluctuated wildly, Jennie even had an urge to embrace Lisa, so that she could completely calm down.

But there were so many people around, Jennie suddenly felt that being so friendly in front of their classmates would be a bit too eye catching.

The tears were wiped away, and Lisa reluctantly removed his hand, covering the nostalgia in his eyes, he said in a voice as calm as possible, “Okay?”

Jennie blinked, taking in a deep breath before letting it out. She turned around fully, her entire body facing him, “So the reason you were gone for so long was because you were doing rehabilitation?”

“Yeah,” Lisa nodded, “I came back yesterday afternoon and wanted to give you a surprise. “

His eyes swept over to see the other students in class looking in their direction from time to time, and also changed his position to that of Jennie’s. The second he did this, he was instantly enveloped by the intimacy of this action.

Lisa’s heartbeat became fast, not only because of his deliberate intimacy, but also because it was the first time he’d dared to be intimate with Jennie in front of other people.

He could stand up now and walk like everyone else. No one except Jennie knew that he had Asperger’s Syndrome. No one would think that he wasn’t a normal person anymore. No one would think that his behavior was weird, even if someone found out that he liked Jennie, no one would taunt her.

He wanted to deliberately let everyone know.

Of course he didn’t want Jennie to know what was running through his mind, but he wanted everyone except Jennie to know, especially the boys who thought of Jennie the same way as he did.

Lisa knew that from the moment he entered the classroom, Jackson hadn’t looked away. The more Jackson looked, the more Lisa couldn’t help but get closer to Jennie.

Jennie had no idea that Lisa had changed drastically after he was able to stand up. She didn’t know that he had become boldly possessive and domineering.

Instead, she smiled crookedly, “It’s really a surprise”, but suddenly she thought of something and said distressingly, “Rehabilitation is painful. I heard that general rehabilitation is more painful than it was when you were injured.”

She cared for him.

Lisa felt like a drop of honey dripped into his dry heart, and suddenly he couldn’t help but want to make her feel more distressed.

“It hurt,” He said, staring at Jennie’s eyes intently, “Sometimes it hurt so much that I wanted to die.”

Maybe if she wasn’t there he couldn’t have tolerated it….

Suddenly his cold hands were held by the girl’s soft fingers, and Lisa stiffened.

“Lisa, no matter what you have in the future, don’t hide it from me anymore.” Jennie looked into his eyes and said, “I know you don’t want to disappoint me, but if you don’t tell me, I will be very worried.”

Lisa remained motionless and allowed the girl to hold his hand, not daring to move, for fear that Jennie would withdraw her hand.

He nodded mechanically. At this moment, he felt that no matter what Jennie said, he would agree without thinking.

Looking at Lisa who was completely unresponsive, Jennie withdrew her hand.

When she heard Lisa say that he was in so much pain that he wanted to die, she was really distressed, so she subconsciously grabbed Lisa’s hand. But after she did that Lisa became incredibly stiff and motionless, and so she couldn’t help but question herself, what are you doing?

After saying “I want to take care of you for the rest of my life”, Jennie could no longer look at the relationship between the two of them the same way as before. In addition to that, the two hundred days of separation between them also made her understand her reliance on Lisa and how much she missed him.

Jennie admitted that her feelings for Lisa have gradually become a little fuzzy, and her emotions were a bit out of control today, and so she couldn’t help but want to get close to Lisa.

But Lisa was probably very uncomfortable, seeing as how he stiffened. What was she thinking?!.

The head teacher walked in from outside, Jennie quickly turned around so that she faced the front of the classroom again. Quickly clearing her messy thoughts she focused on what the teacher was saying.

Unfortunately for the both of them Lisa’s thoughts were completely different from what Jennie had imagined.

When the teacher called out Lisa’s name, he raised his hand for attendance.

Seeing him, naturally, the head teacher was very happy that he had returned. A top student who had a good chance of getting into the top universities, no teacher would dislike him.

Listening to the enthusiastic speech of the class teacher on the podium, Lisa lightly nodded along to the teacher’s speech. As he was doing so, he raised the hand that Jennie had held from before and naturally pressed it to his lips in a contemplating motion.

__________

In the beginning, he was the person who sat firmly in the first place, and the only person to ever get full scores on the science exams. Now, not only did he come back, but he also got out of his wheelchair.

Many students who saw Lisa today were talking about him.

“He stood up. Really, I saw it. I walked over to look at him myself and I couldn’t see anything wrong with his legs.”

“I don’t know why, but Lisa’s whole body seemed to be shining when he stood up. Why did I never realize that Lisa was so handsome before?”

“Lisa shouldn’t be that handsome. He doesn’t look as handsome as Suho or Jackson, but he looks good. I really like this one!”

“I declare that that the No. 1 God in my heart has changed. Previously, Suho was first but now he is ranked second, and Lisa will be promoted to first. After all, he is a super genius and that in itself is a perk!”

Lisa, who stood up, lost the title of disabled, and suddenly became beautiful and outstanding.

No one insulted him anymore, no one looked down on him. When his classmates mentioned him, they unknowingly sent him to the height of Jackson and Suho in an instant, no matter from which aspect, appearance, family, grades, Lisa was not worse than these two people, maybe even better.

Jennie didn’t know how Lisa felt, but Jennie felt extremely proud and a little sad when she saw everyone praising Lisa in the school forum.

He has always been good.

Yet everyone only found out now, when he could finally walk. Jennie didn’t know how to feel about that.

Should she be happy that they realized how great Lisa was?

Or sad that they only saw it now when he was deemed normal?

___________________________

Lisa still didn’t go to evening study. He originally wanted to go. After all, walking was no longer a problem now, but now he has other things to do at night.

He still had to maintain his high-intensity exercise to make his body recover better. In addition to exercise, Lisa had also asked Uncle Chen to hire a professional and private kick-boxing coach.

It was a fighting method that was far more useful than taekwondo and karate in actual combat. He didn’t care about the other methods. He just wants to have the power to protect Jennie in the fastest time, no matter what.

His long figure passed by Nancy and she looked at him in a daze from her seat. The teenager who had been humiliated by her before, had now become so dazzling that she did not dare to look straight at him.

She remembered her cold words from before, “Who do you think you are?”

Nancy wanted to say something to Lisa, but she didn’t dare to anymore. The Lisa now, just like Suho and Jackson, was already something she couldn’t touch anymore.
