Sophia strolled around the campus on her own. It was still early, so she decided to walk around and explore the place. Her meal card had just been topped up with cash, so she was about to go to the cafeteria to grab a bite when a bicycle suddenly came to a halt beside her. Its rider had the Fletchers’ signature crew cut.

Without turning back, he parked the bike to one side and said, “Get on.”

Delighted to see him, Sophia mounted the bike while asking, “Nate, are you here for your classes too?”

Focused on riding his bike, Nathan answered, “Yeah.”

He had been raised in the manor since he was young and was taught by the best private tutors who provided him with the finest education. But, because Michael didn’t have time to look after him, he was distant and cold. Having refused to go to kindergarten, he began his studies at Bayside University when he was five years old after Michael donated a building.

Just like that, he had already been at Bayside University for ten years.

A few years ago, Sophia had brought him from the East Entrance to the South Entrance on her Yamaha bike. She had brought him to the cafeteria to grab a meal, held him while he performed a slam dunk, and even brought him to the cybercafé to play games. She had even brought him to eat kebabs and to the night market to play ring toss.

Those memories were filled with a riot of colors.

After all these years, he was now the one carrying her on his bicycle.

Sitting in the back seat, Sophia was smiling as brightly as the sun. As she enjoyed the early summer breeze, she caught a whiff of the fresh smell that had appeared in her dreams. Perhaps it was from one of the memories that she had lost.

Eyes, a shade of green, and the smell of books. No, something seems to be missing…

All of a sudden, she saw a bicycle catching up to them on the tree-lined path that was covered by overlapping greenery.

Warm sunlight shone down on the man, making him appear radiant. He seemed to emit a faint milky white halo and was as ethereal as a light feather. Every pore on his body was exuding the fresh aura of sunlight as if he was a God who had just descended into the mortal world from the heavens.
