The bell rang for the end of class, and Miss Xu Xiaoyan tidied up her textbooks as she watched her teacher leave. She left the classroom and headed towards the dormitory.
What started as a solitary trek soon amassed a crowd. By the time they arrived at the dormitory gate, almost everyone from her own dormitory had joined her, along with a few from neighboring dormitories.
That's how it went in college. After classes began, everyone moved in groups. But as time went on, some would still stick to their groups while others found their own pairs.
Amidst the chattering and laughter with the girls, Miss Xu Xiaoyan suddenly looked towards a flower bed in front of the dormitory.
From behind it flashed a familiar figure, ready to call out to her!
Their eyes met and the other person opened his mouth but remained silent, simply smiling and waving at her with a familiar thermos in his hand.
The scene felt as though she had been transported back to the year before.
