After Tianxin's engagement ended, Chen Shanshan returned to school.
Originally, they had planned to wait for Tianxin to visit the school over the weekend, and then they would go together to check on He Xiao. However, Chen Shanshan felt that she simply couldn't wait any longer, so she decided to go to the office building alone and wait for He Xiao to get off work.
Chen Shanshan remembered that the weather that day was unusually cold. Overnight, a cold front had arrived. Even though she was wrapped in a thick down jacket, she still couldn't help but stomp her feet for warmth. Even her breath turned into visible white puffs in the air.
The winter sun set especially early.
It was only around 5:30 in the evening, yet the sky had already turned completely dark.
The streetlights on campus flickered to life all at once, their dim and warm glow spilling over Chen Shanshan, barely offering her a trace of warmth.
