Qianqian left, without even saying goodbye.
Jiang Nian didn't feel particularly disappointed, just a bit unaccustomed. They had been going to and from school at the same time all week; suddenly walking alone felt weird.
Classic, too classic, was she in a hurry?
She clearly had a phone and could have messaged me, or borrowed a classmate's. Yet she left without a word, hmm... fun, but awkward.
Fatherly love and filial piety, bravo!
With such thoughts, Jiang Nian walked out of the school building.
Early October.
The evening temperature remained sweltering, clothes clinging uncomfortably to the skin. Students exiting evening study sessions scattered in front of the school, boarding students heading towards the dormitory area.
Jiang Nian followed the day students towards the school gate, passing by the administration building. Zhou Yuting happened to walk beside him and noticed him too.
Amidst the bustling and noisy crowd, she glanced coldly at Jiang Nian and sped up.
