When the light turned green, he walked to the other side, while the elderly man continued his difficult journey on the bike, and she, who was supposed to cross the intersection, put away her umbrella and ran towards the school gate, soaked through.
That was the first time he saw her.
The second time he saw her was during the second round of student council selections. He noticed her accompanying her roommate, quietly sitting in the corner, engrossed in a book, seemingly oblivious. When her roommate went on stage to introduce herself, she finally lifted her head to watch, listening intently, and applauded afterward.
Knowing her roommate made it much easier to find out her name.
"So that was the first time I saw you, and learned your name—it was by looking up your roommate."
"The day we went to the nursing home for cleaning was our first interaction."
