Twelve years ago, the six-year-old Tong Yao went to his grandmother’s home in the countryside during summer vacation. While he was fishing in the river, he encountered a group of little boys bullying a person. 

Tong Yao walked over and saw they were bullying a very cute little girl. She was not that tall and had a red dot painted between her eyebrows1. At that time, she was sitting on the ground and crying miserably. 

As a little gentleman, Tong Yao’s desire to protect suddenly soared. Disregarding everything, he charged over headfirst and knocked a few of the leading bullies down. 

Following that was a scuffle. Taking advantage of the chaos, Tong Yao grabbed the little girl’s hand and rushed out, not stopping until he finally lost the chasers.

“Red Dot Bean, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you.” Tong Yao patted the little girl’s shoulder and said.

The little girl had already stopped crying a while ago. With big, watery eyes, she stared at the bruises on Tong Yao’s temple and the corner of his mouth.

The pain on Tong Yao’s face, which was still hurting badly, was miraculously relieved by the little girl’s gaze.

“Hey, are you Superman?” 

The little girl’s voice sounded a little deeper than other girls he had heard before, but Tong Yao didn’t care.

Hearing the girl’s question, Tong Yao suddenly became more energetic, “That’s right, I’m Superman. Red Dot Bean’s exclusive Superman.”

That summer vacation, Tong Yao and Red Dot Bean played together. Tong Yao also “married” Red Dot Bean several times in order to play house together. 

However, Red Dot Bean just came to the countryside with her family for vacation. After summer vacation ended, she returned to the city.

… …

“You’re……Red Dot Bean?” Tong Yao’s recollection of his distant childhood memory made him beyond surprised.

“Yeah.” Jiang Jinyue nodded, his smile looking a bit forced. Tong Yao actually hadn’t recognized him until now.

“But wasn’t Red Dot Bean a girl?”

“What part of me looks like a girl?”

Tong Yao shook his head violently.

Jiang Jinyue was very tall. His muscles were packed, and he fought with explosive strength. 

Even if he looked pretty, it was definitely the beauty that belonged to a handsome boy, not the slightest like a girl.

“I’m very sorry I’m not a girl, but will you try to accept me?” Jiang Jinyue took a step forward as Tong Yao retreated. His back directly hit the wall.

The things Tong Yao found shocking had smashed onto him one by one, he was almost about to faint.

“Tong Yao, little Superman?”

Jiang Jinyue’s magnetic voice sounded bewitching, making Tong Yao gradually lose self-control.

While his last trace of reason still existed, Tong Yao asked, “Aren’t you just tricking me? Something like losing in a Truth or Dare game, so you have to confess to a boy.”

Jiang Jinyue smiled. It turned out that this was why Tong Yao had such a big reaction just now. It was because the other boy felt he had been fooled. 

This had previously caused Jiang Jinyue to be extremely worried. He thought Tong Yao had been confessed by someone he hated, and that was why the other boy had been so agitated.

“But I’m not Superman at all. I’m just the most humble and normal high school student, without any superpowers.” Tong Yao said, head falling because of his low self-esteem. 

The person who had superpowers should be Jiang Jinyue, who was good at everything.

Jiang Jinyue leaned forward. “How could you not have superpowers? With merely two months, you captivated a person for eleven years.” 

“After encountering them again, for over three years, you didn’t look at that person at all, but still plucked that person’s heartstrings all the time.” 

“Tell me, if this is not a superpower, what is it?”

After he finished speaking, Jiang Jinyue’s lips were only a centimeter away from Tong Yao’s lips. Just as he was ready to remove that last centimeter—

Tong Yao suddenly shouted with panic, “Jiang Jinyue, your elbow is bleeding!”

It had been cut with a knife during the scuffle just now. Jiang Jinyue had been afraid Tong Yao would see it, so he hid it behind his back. But his wound was ultimately still discovered by Tong Yao.

Jiang Jinyue furrowed his forehead. Using the hand that wasn’t dirtied by blood, he held Tong Yao’s face and kissed him.

The flavour of mint entered Tong Yao’s mouth. He tried responding tentatively.

What he got in response was a strong kiss from Jiang Jinyue.

At that moment, the world became a dream.

This kiss, Tong Yao had secretly fantasized for three years, while Jiang Jinyue waited for many years.
