I would sometimes stay in the house that Gao Kan rented. Initially, I slept on the same bed as him, but the two of us slept on the same bed. I used to fall asleep with his big feet in my arms and get up in the morning to be in his arms.

To prevent anyone from talking to me, we used to get up at five in the morning and he would take me to my parents' neighborhood and then take a cab from the opposite direction to school as if nothing had happened.

Afterwards, perhaps it was because I had been with Gao Kan for a long time, eating and drinking until I became more nutritious, but during that winter, I developed very quickly. Not only did my body grow as long as a bamboo, but the unique traits of certain girls became more and more obvious.

When I woke up one morning, I suddenly found Gao Kan hugging me, and a small tent had been set up somewhere, but he didn't know that, so of course I knew why. I was a little shy, and also a little scared, and wanted to avoid him. After waking up, Gao Kan was especially frustrated. His face was completely red as he kept apologizing to me.

Ever since then, Gao Kan had been keeping his distance from me. He also had a bad habit of hitting a plane and watching Japanese movies. I actually knew about this, but I was afraid that he would distance himself from me, so I pretended not to understand.

For a while, Gao Kan was very close to a high school girl. I was very sad and thought that he liked that girl who was around his age and had a good figure, so I found an excuse to stay at his house and stayed in his room.

He said, Coca Cola, loving you is the most important thing, some people feel that love is just sex, that they stick together everyday, maybe this is how other people's love is, but Coca Cola, do you know what I think? I think love wants to touch but then retracts his hand. You're still young, I can't hurt you. At an age when I can't even decide my own fate, kissing you is a luxury I have.

Even though I had read these words in Salinger's "Heart of Broken Stories", when Gao Kan said it out loud, it was actually the first time I deeply realized that although he was only seventeen years old, it was still the burden and boldness of a grown man.

It's just that at that time, I still didn't understand that behind his arrogant and rebellious actions, he was only a confused adolescent who had not fully matured yet.

However, Gao Kan was not a good person. On the contrary, if he became bad, it would even give the entire school's teachers a headache.

For example, I urged my classmates to climb over the wall in the middle of the night to play games in the Internet Cafe, coaxing my junior primary school brother to give him and me food to eat and wash our clothes.

On the basketball court, he was always the one with the most limelight. No one dared to block him when dribbling, because those who were stronger than him were all easily dealt with by him.

If he had nothing else to do, he would stand at the school gate with a bunch of boys, and brag to the pretty girls and the little sisters and aunties passing by.

The most miserable one, I remember very clearly, was a boy from the same village. The Yi race's name was Wa Xiyafu, the Han nationality's name was Chen Ji, and Father Chen Ji was a student of our village, which was considered a tyrant in our local area. Before Gao Kan came to the Da Liang Shan, he had always thought of himself as my boyfriend and chased after me since primary school.

After that, Gao Kan brought me to Chenchen's First High School, and Wa Xiyafu followed along to there. He joined the Yi Clan students and formed a small team to fight against Gao Kan. For a while, Wa Xiyafu came to our class to block me off and send me love letters and flowers for breakfast.

Then came the outbreak of the first "national war" in the history of Chenchen First High School. At that time, everyone outside the school knew that the school dared not to interfere because of his father's donation to a library. He had bought a group of youths and idle personnel from the society. Everyday, he surrounded and intercepted them at the entrance of the academy, forcefully beating the anti-Japanese team that Wa Xiyafu had formed into only a single commander, until Wa Xiyafu became his most loyal and loyal subordinate. Fortunately, the internet was still not well-developed at that time, so the matter was suppressed by the school.

All sorts of small details like these were silently recorded in my diary. One day, when I had nothing better to do, I suddenly realised that Gao Kan cared about me more than anyone else in this world.

One day after school, instead of going to see him in the middle of the high school, I sneaked home alone and didn't see him for a week.

After that, Gao Kan couldn't hold back anymore and personally came to our class to drag me out, asking me what exactly happened. I told him in tears that I wanted him to stay away from my friends. I told him that I didn't like the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, that I hated the noise of the skating rink, and that I didn't like him drinking and smoking and flying leaves.

I originally thought that Gao Kan would scold me after he finished speaking, because his father had come to our school before and wanted to teach him a lesson. But I didn't expect that Gao Kan would actually listen to me.

At that time, Gao Kan jokingly hugged me and said, Coca Cola, it's such a small thing, you should have told me earlier, brother would have already felt that living such a boring life.

Then he hit my butt again, saying pitifully, Coca Cola, big brother only has one sister, my parents don't want me anymore, we are family from now on, you can't be like this next time, ignore me silently.

At the beginning of winter that year, after Gao Kan finished school, he stopped messing around and started to obediently follow me home to do his homework and read. He even bought me a guitar from life and brought me to the vocal music lessons in my free time.

After the fall and winter, not only did my skin turn white, I often ate meals with Gao Kan. I had an extremely abundant amount of nutrition, and my body also developed very quickly.

Slowly, many people in Chenchen First High School knew that "Yi Qian Yang" in the middle area could not help but be the first to learn. His singing was especially good and he could even play the guitar.

The number of boys chasing me had increased from one or two to ten or twenty.

Gao Kan felt a special sense of accomplishment.

He said that I was like a little pet in the game. Under his leadership, I levelled up and became a strong character.

Gao Kan also said that his father invested in an entertainment company. After I graduate from high school and apply for an art school, he would sign up for his family's company. In the future, he would praise me to become a big star.

From that moment onwards, Gao Kan started to study hard. He said that his parents were divorced, and he had a younger brother who was half-brother to him. That boy was exceptionally outstanding, deeply favored by his father, and that his father would marry another woman.

That year's Spring Festival, Gao Kan had still left the Chenchen.

We had talked about it many times, and he had given me a shot in advance, so I didn't feel too bad when he actually left.

I was thirteen or fourteen at the time, and my mind was innocent. I didn't know the difference between us, except that I loved him and he loved me.

Before he left, Gao Kan officially confessed to me. He promised me sincerely: "In order for my Coca Cola to smoothly become a big star, Big Brother must firmly sit on the position of the successor. You must study hard, after I graduate from high school, I will bring you to Blue Water City."
