The late afternoon sun filtered through the dusty library window, painting stripes across the old wooden tables. Mei sat hunched over a textbook, but her eyes kept darting towards the towering figure across the aisle. 程煜杰, engrossed in a massive tome, seemed utterly oblivious to Mei's presence, her broad shoulders and long limbs a striking silhouette against the light. Mei’s heart hammered a frantic rhythm against her ribs, a mix of fear and fervent longing. She chewed on her lip, a tiny, nervous habit. Finally, gathering every ounce of her courage, she cleared her throat softly.
"Um... excuse me, 程煜杰?" Her voice was barely a whisper, but 程煜杰 slowly lowered her book, her gaze, calm and unwavering, meeting Mei's. Mei felt a blush creep up her neck, but couldn't look away. "I... I was wondering if you might have a moment? I'm having a little trouble with this... calculus problem." She gestured vaguely at her open textbook, the numbers blurring before her eyes.
