Chapter 1 - Familiarity

The clout wind blew, making leaves fall down from the tree. It was a prologue of Autumn season, so fast time had passed. But what would be the most prominent way to describe leaves falling on the road covering a vast area of the road side looking adequately beautiful. And winning the hearts of the light and dew.

There was a splitting of road that Xīn didn't notice as earlier before. The first road has a not so wide path with stalls closed in, trees on the entrance of the road shedding its leaves, and the second one with a lively atmosphere day and night, it also has the tree on the entrance covering the roads with leaves. In which way would the second road lead to ?It was just a mind question, but the fact is you can't answer something until you find those answers by yourself. The second road was also as beautiful as first road but the difference is that second one looks more lively, and first road was lacking its lively hood, but in evening the first road also became like second road and both side become like a united family at the evening, but for Xīn he doesn't know about this roads spatial and temporal.

While Xīn was standing on the divergent road, two kids, while passing through the road, started discussing tomorrow's Autumn season festival at night. Those were two little kids and it seems like they will be six or maybe seven years old and look quite cleverish.

The kid who was wearing a bright red t-shirt with blue trousers gave a crescent smile and asked another kid, "The leaves on the roads look beautiful, don't they?"

"Yea, and you know what ? Tomorrow is the Autumn festival. Are you going to come." The second kid who was wearing a white shirt with black pants

"Yep, I am excited for that." the kid responded with a giggle in his voice.

But it was only for a short time and those two kids went to the lively hood off side. And there was a quiet silence in the road.

People are really enjoying the Autumn season and its beauty, but for Xīn it was some kind of boring monologue festival with some kind of playful games. Xīn was evading such mistakes by joining the festival and rather spent his time tidying up in his room.

Xīn went to the first road, which was quiet and beautiful.

The road was full of silence but it was the only way that led to 'Xīan Xu University'.

Xīn is a freshman, he is beginning his first year at Xīan Xu University, the greatest University of all time. Xīn is pursuing a major in business and financial banking. He had been working hard to get into this university not only for his future dream but for someone he knows.

Xīan Xu University is very big and many students study here even from Korea. Many people come here.

This University is circle in shape if you see from the above, a big gate at the entrance, and a not so long staircase leading to the entrance gate, side path decorated with flowers that look so good to refresh your mind and a some large trees with green leaves that was on the way, and a big field with various students in it and much more things that can make your mind entangled.

Xīn was found by this beautiful sight of University that he almost forgot that his first class was about to begin and he had to rush as soon as possible.

"Huuf, huff"

'Am I late,' Xīn whispers to himself.

'No, I am not late, thank god'

The class started but Xīn's mind wasn't in the monologue. His mind was somewhere off, the new professor of Business class was strict and was teaching some basic mathematics that Xīn already knew, so he doesn't have to care, but the professor is thinking something different only.

"Mr.Xīn" he called out his name with an annoyed and freaky look and gave him the hardest question to ask on board.

"Sreerch, sreerch"

Xīn wrote the answer correctly without hesitation and finished it in a short period of time, as if it was nothing but just a kids game.

It was a tiring day for Xīn, he decided to head home as soon as possible, he grabbed all of the belongings and went out of his class. The hallway is filled with many people talking with each other and discussing the festival that is going to happen tomorrow night. Xīn didn't get interested in those festivals and went ahead.

"Thump" A person with brown hair bumped into Xīn. He looked towards Xīn and seemed like he was thinking of something and said. "Hello senior are you interested joining in Literature Club"

Without thinking left to right in his mind Xīn directly spit out. "No"

The person before him doesn't look down upon his rejection it looks like he was in some kind of hurry."Wait, you were in same lecture as me before, I remember you"

Xīn was in thought how to escape from this overcoming talking situation as he is not interested in further talking, "I…don't remember any of you"

"My bad you don't remember me or any of us, but pls re think about joining the club for now I am going seeya…" As that person spoke those words he fled away before Xīn could even open his mouth to refuse the proposal.

"No, I am not joining" Xīn spoke out without a single thought.

Since childhood Xīn doesn't like to stay in a group as he has been with Cloud for a very long time, and when he left him, he started staying alone and became lonely. Like the child who would become desperate upon losing his favorite bat or something.

'I don't think it's going to happen' Xīn said in lack of interest he wasn't into this kind of thing.

Xīn was tired of staying in the crowd for a long time. So Xīn reached the entrance gate as fast as he could because he was literally tired of staying in this big place with many people. It makes him suffocate and stiff sometimes and that sometimes he might also lose his own sense also, it had happened only one time though with his mother while doing grocery.

He reached the entrance gate staircase, it wasn't so lively but rather can be considered as quite longevity.

As Xīn was crossing the staircase he sensed something familiar that was coming up from the stairs. He could smell and sense the fragrance of that person. It's like, it's been a year since he smelled this fragrance of that person. By a hesitation or without an instinct he could tell who the person really is. But is the person before really someone who he is thinking about?

The person was coming up from the staircase. The gusty wind blew, his hair waves in the air . He has a white hair with brown eyes and a handsome face with a tall height.

He was wearing a white t-shirt and a black trousers, adequately watching over his mobile, Xin was stunned in his place for a moment and didn't know what he should do about it and his feelings that were coming out.

Xīn was moving down the staircase too, and that person was coming up as they crossed each other then suddenly.

"Rumbleee"
