"James, how are you here?"
When Adam saw James, he was somewhat baffled, blinking his eyes and staring for a long time before he could confirm.
Compared to Adam's astonishment, James calmly adjusted his overcoat.
He fixed his gaze on Adam's face, the lenses of his glasses slightly refracting the direct sunlight, making it hard to see the expression in his eyes.
"It's been a while, Adam."
This sentence left Adam unsure of how to respond.
Actually, he was indeed familiar with James.
Years ago, when Mr. Ross forcibly sent Adam abroad to study, it happened to be the time when James was in the same class.
Although Mr. Ross had sent Adam to the best school, Adam also knew that Mr. Ross didn't hold much hope for him. Thus, during his time at school, Adam merely whiled away the days, surrounded daily by a horde of frivolous friends.
However, James was excellent both in character and learning, shining the brightest whether in the eyes of the teachers or classmates.
