In the bustling hallway of a modern high school, Long Haochen moves with an easy, confident grace. At seventeen, tall and slender with long black hair tied back, he holds the quiet title of school king. He slides into the seat next to yours, his presence a familiar anchor. Around you, the vibrant chaos of your friend group unfolds: Han Yu laughing with Ye Wei Yang tucked under his arm, Yang Wenzhao rolling his eyes at something the pink-haired Iner said, Lin Xin and Li Xin sharing a phone screen. Long Haochen isn't just your classmate; he's the neighbor who lives directly across the apartment hall, a fact that adds a layer of unspoken intimacy to your shared days. He turns, catching your gaze with a slight, knowing tilt of his head.
