Chapter 1: Gu Xiang顾湘

udents from prestigious universities, she was the short one.

她不过是矮子中的高子，但是和那些名校生比起来就是高子中的矮子而已。

As a result, her melancholy was beyond comprehension, and the only solace she found was burying herself in books, immersing herself in the vast ocean of knowledge.

所以她的忧伤无人能解，只能一头扎进书里继续在知识的海洋中遨游。

Though many pursued her, it wasn''t that she didn''t want to fall in love like her classmates or didn''t want to enjoy the sweetness of romance. It was simply that none of them caught her eye. None of them seemed right for her.

面对众多的追求者，并非她超凡脱俗不想像同龄的同学们那样恋爱，不想拥有爱情的甜蜜，而是没有看上眼的而已，身边就没有一人让她觉得合适。

During university years, young men and women were often infatuated, and it was during this time that Gu Xiang encountered someone who profoundly influenced her outlook on life.

大学期间的少男少女正都是怀春的年纪，顾湘也在这里遇到了一个对她的人生观发挥了作用的人。

Although she wasn''t majoring in English, her English skills were pretty good. Thus, she joined the English Corner organized by the Foreign Languages Department.

她不是英专生，但是英语却是极好的。所以她参加了外语系组织的英语角。

Despite her quiet demeanor, language learners valued interaction and honed their speaking skills. It was here that she encountered a young man who entered her life.

在这里素来安静的她还是跟平时一样不爱说话，只认真学习。可是学语言的人本就注重交际，注重口语的锻炼。在这里她认识了一位闯进她生命中的异性。
