Russell paused for a moment, pushed the door open, and walked in. He glanced at Steve, who had not slept all night and hadn’t even sat down for a moment. “You haven’t eaten anything since last night. I bought some porridge; you should have some.”

It was as if Steve didn’t hear Russell’s words, his face remaining silent while his gaze was still glued to Ruby’s body.

Still not responding… Russell felt helpless in his heart, unless Ruby woke up now and talked to Steve.

Russell paused for a while, then spoke again, “At least eat something. Don’t wait until Ruby wakes up and then pass out yourself. Also, look at your clothes, they’re filthy with blood stains, your hair is a mess, and your beard has grown out. At least take a bath and change into clean clothes.”

Steve’s brows and eyes remained still.

Russell suddenly felt like a nagging mother. He raised his hand, rubbed his nose, placed the breakfast on the table, and continued to persuade Steve, “The doctor has already said that she’s fine. I know you’re not feeling well, but fortunately, we arrived in time, didn’t we?”

Russell didn’t hold out much hope that Steve would listen to him. He didn’t know what he had said that touched Steve, but Steve’s eyelashes suddenly fluttered. Although his eyes didn’t move away from Ruby, he suddenly said, “Time, save me.”

Only four words, not even related to what Russell had just said. His voice was murmuring, more like talking to himself.

Russell’s lips moved slightly, but he didn’t say anything.

Steve turned his head, looking at Russell with a hint of dark red in his eyes. “When she called me, the first words she said were these four.”

At this point, Steve paused and repeated those four words, “Time, save me.”

“I never thought that after so many years, she still remembers these four words.” Steve’s expression became a bit agitated. He swallowed hard, and his voice, which had barely been used to speak or drink water, was slightly dry. “You don’t know. In the afternoon, when you and I passed by our high school and saw those students fighting, I remembered this phrase and thought it must be a wishful thinking in my heart, but I didn’t expect that just a few hours later, I would hear it from her.”

I always thought that I was the only one foolishly remembering some pleasant memories.

I never knew, what a coincidence, that you, just like me, also remembered.

He was two years older and two grades ahead of Ruby. Although Ruby always tried to get into the same school as him, they only spent one year together in the same school during middle and high school.

As the third day of the lunar year approached, Ruby experienced her first menstrual period, and then her entire body went through earth-shattering changes.

In just one short summer break, Steve found that his girl had turned into a graceful lady; a little tempting in her innocence.

The liveliest time at school every year was the day new students arrived. Whether they were in second or third-year or attending a prep class, they would all flock to the school gate to join in the fun.
