Iris has been a friend of mine since high school. Nobody would use "beautiful" to describe Iris. But the fact always lost on guys when they were enchanted by her slender figure, soft voice, the smooth, lady-like movement, especially her dark bright eyes which betrayed the owner's intelligence and sometimes stubbornness (of course, lost on guys as well). Iris did enjoy the attentions from boys and quickly started dating one of the most eager boys. The dating was covered under many gatherings of friends. So her parents never had any clue until the senior year in high school.

Iris's parents were both professors at a very prestigious university. Iris was their only daughter. She was raised up in the university campus (Tu Mu Yuan) under strict rules and careful educations. In her parents' minds, Iris would be the last of all girls to do anything wrong, particularly dating boys in high school. When news came that Iris was seen kissing a boy in a theater, this was a blow to her parents, and subsequently a "perfect storm" for Iris.
