Si Wen finally understood. This wasn't just any ordinary tree; it was Lin Xi and Xue Yang's special tree, a symbol of their love.
No wonder she was so smitten. To be precise, she wasn't smitten with the tree, but with the Xue Yang who had taken her home back then.
"You were so lucky," Si Wen said. "To think you'd run away from home, end up near University Town, and get picked up by Xue Yang."
Lin Xi's eyes crinkled happily, making her look like a pampered, lazy cat. "Hmph! I'm very clever. I wouldn't just wander around aimlessly," she said.
Back then, she had figured it would be safer to head for a place with lots of students, which is why she ended up at University Town.
"He walked right past this spot," Lin Xi reminisced. "He got over there, then turned back and asked me, 'Little girl, are you all alone?' You have no idea how funny his expression was! Haha!
