Chapter 216


    Ryder recalled, the first time he heard the name Agnes, was on the third day of military training after


    enrolling in university.


    At that time, he had juste back from abroad and was still not used to domestic life and jetg


    The scorching summer, the high-intensity military training, and what was worse, he ran into a very strict


    officer.


    Back then, military training wasn’t divided by majors or sses. It was random, each group consisting


    of sixty people from different majors and sses.


    In order to test their endurance, the officer would always make them stand in the zing sun for half an


    hour before lunch every day when the sun was at its strongest


    He was not feeling well in those few days, but kept pushing through


    When he felt that he was about to fail and the world in front of him began to be blurred, someone


    next to him suddenly handed him a bottle of mineral water The girl’s voice was clear and pleasing to


    the ear, “Hey, boy, this is for you.”


    He strained his eyes to look at the person next to him, only to see a face that made his heartbeat race.


    She handed him a bottle of mineral water and said softly, “Drink it, but don’t let the officer see you.”


    Ryder took the water bottle, which had clearly been drunk from before.


    He was a germaphobe, not liking to use things that others had touched, let alone water that someone


    else had drunk.


    However, at that moment, he didn’t mind at all.


    He opened the bottle and took a big gulp, and the world in front of him gradually became clear.


    From that day on, he began to pay attention to this girl.


    Unfortunately, just as they were about to get to know each other, they were separated into different


    training groups due to re-grouping.


    But he still often saw her.


    For instance, during breaks, she liked to sit under the basketball hoop on the yground with a group


    of friends, chatting, and sometimes even sneaking some snacks


    That summer, the temperature was unusually high


    When everyone was sitting on the ground, exhausted after training, she could always be seen handing


    out bottles of mineral water to the people around her. He wasn’t good at making friends, but he still


    learned her name from others.


    Agnes–


    That summer was long, hot, and suffocating


    But that name was like a block of ice in the summer heat, making him feel cool and refreshed every


    time he thought of it.


    In the following years, he hardly ever spoke to Agnes, but he knew everything about her


    She was a journalism student, loved eating at the second cafeteria. She spent most of her weekends in


    the library, and at nine-thirty every night, she would run ap around the yground before going to


    bed…


    And her boyfriend, named Elton Taylor.


    He had been quietly paying attention to this girl, but she seemed unaware of his existence.


    Jared once told him, “If you look at a girl and your heart races at first sight, if you feel like you’ve been


    electrocuted and can’t stop trembling, then, that girl is your true love.”


    However, by the time he realized this, she had already be Jared’s girl.


    But his memory was still stuck in that summer, her crisp voice, “Hey, boy…


    Agnes had already returned to the house, and Jared followed her in.


    They started arguing, and Alyssa, seeing this, walked over


    Agnes saw Alyssaing and stopped arguing with Jared.


    Alyssa asked, “What’s up with you two, why the fight?”

    Agnes didn’t answer, but Jared said. “We’re leaving”


    He grabbed Agnes hand and started heading out.


    Agnes walked along, trying to shake off Jared’s grip as they went.
