Su Ke said he was really serious about studying.

During this period, he and Liu Nian rarely saw each other. Occasionally, they would meet on weekends, have a meal together, and then Su Ke would return to school.

Liu Nian knew he was striving for success, so she didn't disturb him, but simply encouraged him to study diligently.

As the weather gradually turns cooler, some of the city's trees have already lost their leaves.

The wind was a bit strong and it was a bit cold at night.

Liu Nian stood at the gate of B University, carrying a large bag of things.

When Su Ke appeared before her, panting, Liu Nian noticed that he had lost weight.

"Susu, have you not been eating properly lately?"

Having not seen each other for some time, Su Ke couldn't help but want to go up and kiss and hug Liu Nian as soon as he saw her.

"some."

He stepped forward, hugged Liu Nian, and lowered his head to kiss the top of her head.

Liu Nian put down what she was holding and hugged him back: "I've seen you've been busy studying lately, and I had nothing to do, so I came to see you."

"Um."

Su Ke released Liu Nian, lowered his head, and pinched her cheek: "I haven't had much time to see you lately, so please don't be angry."

"No." Liu Nian didn't know what he'd been doing besides studying lately, but since he didn't say, she didn't ask. "I bought some snacks and fruit; you can take them home and eat them."

Su Ke looked at the large bag of things at her feet and lowered her eyes: "Sister, I'm not a child anymore."

His words seemed to carry a sense of melancholy.

Liu Nian laughed: "I know, I just want you to eat it when you're relaxed, and share it with your roommates or something."

Su Ke gave a soft "hmm".

As the years passed, it was already late, so there was no time to linger.

"Alright, I'm going back now. You can go in too! Goodnight!"

Su Ke was reluctant to let go, and he held onto Liu Nian's hand tightly.

But then, remembering something, he gritted his teeth and released Liu Nian, saying, "Then, sister, drive carefully on your way back."

"good."

When Su Ke returned with a large bag of things, Zhang Xiangrong also happened to be coming back from outside.

Seeing what Su Ke was carrying, she asked in surprise, "Did you buy this?"

Su Ke: "My boyfriend bought it."

Zhang Xiangrong: "..."

Looks like he needs to find a partner soon; winter's coming, he needs to find one.

Liu Nian parked her car in front of the flower shop, and as soon as she got out, she noticed a boy walking towards her.

Time remembers him, and I cherish his memory.

Yu Zhinian walked forward with a smile and greeted Liu Nian: "Long time no see."

Liu Nian nodded: "Why are you still out so late?"

"I recently took on a project with some friends, and we're renting a place to live." He said, glancing at Liu Nian's car, and finding it empty: "Alone?"

Liu Nian nodded: "Mm."

Liu Nian had some impression of Yu Zhi Nian; she was someone who rented her house in her previous life, but she seemed to look even younger than in her previous life.

That's true. He's only a junior in college now, but he was a senior in his previous life, so there's still a difference.

"Would you mind having a meal together?" he asked.

Liu Nian politely declined, saying, "It's getting late, let's do it another time!"

Since she said that, Yu Zhinian didn't say anything more and nodded: "Is it convenient to add each other's contact information?" He hadn't managed to add her last time, and he hadn't run into her the next few times he went to the store to look for her.

Liu Nian blinked, smiled gently, and declined, "I'm sorry, it's not convenient."

Yu Zhinian didn't feel embarrassed by being rejected, as he had expected it.

"Sorry to bother you. Drive safely on your way back. Good night!"

Liu Nian waved to him: "Goodbye!"

She drove away.

Yu Zhinian only looked away after watching the tail of her car disappear from sight.

Just as he was about to leave, a girl came up behind him.

"Senior Yu."

Yu Zhinian turned her head to look at him, her expression cold: "What is it?"

Ningxia didn't mind his attitude. She walked up to him and looked up at him.

Yu Zhinian, who is over 1.8 meters tall, looks quite intimidating next to Ningxia, who is only 1.6 meters tall.

"What are you doing here so late, Senior Yu?"

Yu Zhinian didn't have the habit of talking about himself with people he didn't know well. Seeing Ningxia like this, he didn't have any extra time for her and simply ignored her and walked away.

Ningxia didn't give him a chance to leave, blocking his way directly: "Senior, do you like Liu Nian?"

Yu Zhinian instantly became impatient when Ningxia blocked his way, and his face turned even colder when he heard her words.

"Do I know you very well?"

Ningxia: "..." She felt a moment of embarrassment.

But remembering that she still had things to do, she could only continue to stop him: "Senior, let's work together!"

Yu Zhinian looked at her like she was an idiot: "Who are you? What kind of collaboration are you looking for?"

Ningxia was momentarily speechless. Looking at Yu Zhinian's disgusted expression, she suddenly lost the desire to continue speaking.

She pursed her lips and put on a hurt expression: "It's nothing, I'm sorry to have bothered you, senior."

With that, she turned to leave.

At this moment, Yu Zhinian spoke coldly from behind her.

"You were the one who instigated the incident on the school's online forum last time, weren't you?"

Ningxia froze, her steps halting abruptly. She spoke somewhat awkwardly, "What forum?! What is senior saying?!"

Yu Zhinian scoffed at her feigned ignorance: "You're studying law, right? You should know what you can and can't do. Think it over yourself!" He didn't linger and added before leaving, "You'll never get what you can't have, so don't do pointless things."

Ningxia's fingernails were digging into her flesh, and her face was pale.
