The morning sunshine streamed through the dormitory window, illuminating the balcony.
Ye Yangyang climbed out of bed, changed out of her pajamas, and walked into the sunlight to wash up.
The dormitory was silent, inhabited by her alone. It was summer vacation, and all her roommates had gone home, leaving only her behind.
She hadn't gone home. That place no longer resembled the home she remembered. Each visit left her feeling incredibly oppressed.
She preferred to stay in the dormitory, even if it meant being alone, in peace and quiet.
After washing her face, Ye Yangyang held a book and read aloud on the balcony for an hour before she began to head toward the canteen for breakfast.
After breakfast, she planned to make a trip to the book center to buy textbooks for the next semester, to catch up during the summer break. Then, during the next term, she could get ahead and boost her grades.
She didn't consider herself very smart; all her achievements were earned through diligence.
