At the entrance of Binhai University, Long Fei stood in a street stall T-shirt and jeans paired with counterfeit New Balance sneakers, staring through the gates.
Before, he had visited this place as a guest.
This time, he stepped through the gate as a bona fide student, blending in.
His long neglected hair was now a neat buzz cut from the barber shop near the school gates.
The young man was tall and handsome, looking quite spirited.
To avoid alarming anyone, only the dean knew Long Fei's true identity within the school.
Everyone else, from the heads of departments down to the counselors, thought he was just a regular student.
He collected some things from the administration building and went back to his dorm.
Upon entering, a group of guys were leaning over the balcony, shouting and hollering.
Their voices resembled that of wolves in heat on the plains.
