On Sunday afternoon, Su Xun took out a few winter clothes from the closet, stuffed them into the suitcase she had dragged back from school, and took the subway back to school.

The sky remained dark and gloomy all day, with thick, heavy clouds floating around it. Around five o'clock, it finally gave in and cold raindrops fell on my cheeks, feeling raw and cold.

Su Xun opened the umbrella she had prepared beforehand, enveloping herself in dry air, and slowly moved around the school grounds.

A thin layer of mist hung in the air, adding to the mystery of the night. The lights along the school road were already on, and people without umbrellas hurried past.

From afar, she saw the tall figure standing quietly in front of the dormitory's iron gate, holding a black umbrella above his head, hidden in the boundless rain.

The familiar silhouette was almost instantly recognizable, and Su Xun quickened his pace, splashing water droplets onto his trousers, making the light-colored pants appear even darker.

He slowly came to a stop.

"What are you doing here?"

"You said you were almost at school, so I came over to wait for you." The boy's voice was a little hoarse.

"It must be cold outside, let's find a place to sit down." Su Xun quickly led the group toward the nearest cafeteria, where heating had been turned on last week and it was usually quite warm.

When I sent him the message, I hadn't even arrived at school yet, and I had no idea how long he had been waiting in the cold wind.

The thought that there was someone at school who would wait for her so patiently filled her with warmth.

"Don't wait outside for so long next time. It's so windy, you'll catch a cold."

"Um."

Actually, he wanted to see her as soon as possible, which is why he waited for her downstairs at the dormitory, but he was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Su Xun had already eaten dinner before arriving, so he only ordered a bowl of hot soup to ward off the cold.

Turning around, she looked at Pei Ke, who seemed lost in thought, and asked, "By the way, have you eaten?"

Pei Ke remained silent, only shaking his head.

Su Xun received a negative answer and sighed silently. What was she supposed to say about this person?

She ordered him a rice bowl and the same soup as her, then looked again at his bright eyes and said, "From now on, if you're hungry, just eat first. You don't have to wait for me for so long."

Hearing the girl's words, Pei Ke frowned, then slowly nodded, "Okay."

Su Xun gave Pei Ke a deep look; he was unusually quiet today.

The two casually found a place to sit down.

Su Xun scooped up a small spoonful of the still-steaming soup and gently put it in his mouth, instantly warming his entire oral cavity.

The person in front of her hadn't even touched the food on her plate; they were just staring at her, or rather, at the clothes she was wearing.

"What's wrong?" She put down the spoon and looked at him with a questioning gaze.

Half a minute later, he slowly spoke, his expression ambiguous, "I've seen you wear this coat before."

Su Xun wore a light blue cotton coat from home today. The coat was both warm and stylish, and she put it on almost without hesitation.

But when had he ever seen himself wear this outfit? This was clearly their first winter together after they got back together.

Seeing that the person opposite her remained silent and continued to stare intently at her.

Some images suddenly flashed through my mind.

Yes, she saw him at a convenience store in Huaicheng at the beginning of the year, and he was wearing the same thing back then.

Not knowing how to answer, the other person spoke first.

"You actually saw me a long time ago, and then you ran away."
