About
This is a series of visual novel adapted from a real story. It is divided into three stages: high school, University and undertaking life to tell a common and tortuous life trajectory. Here is the first episode of the series.In this episode you will experience the life of a high school student in China. The characters live and study under the background of examination-oriented education in senior high schools in China with the expectation of the future and the expectation of ignorance of emotions. During his last year, he has experienced many things which deeply impressed on him. This part of the story is more a pave for the development of the following episodes, but also plays a role of "appetizer" and is very exciting.
