If we compare a person to a speck of dust in this vast world, then Lin Xiangnan's departure must be the most insignificant and trivial matter.
As the weather gets colder, the final exams for all courses arrive as scheduled.
Jiang Mian really couldn't understand why there were final exams in college, and even if there were final exams, why couldn't they be all taken at once?
They insist on having one or two exams a week, even though their professional exams consist of six subjects, which are to be completed over four weeks.
When the last exam was over, the university town welcomed its first snowfall of the year.
The weather is such an interesting thing. Just last night it was a cold and bleak scene, but when I woke up this morning, the world outside was covered in a blanket of snow.
As someone who grew up in the south, I know that such snow scenes are becoming increasingly rare.
Jiang Mian's excited and enthusiastic expression seemed quite normal to the other three in the dormitory.
I forgot to mention that, apart from Jiang Mian, the other three are all from the North.
As Chen Yu packed her things, she said, "Back in my hometown, this kind of snow is considered rare."
Feng Jun gestured to him in return: "It's similar where I live. The snow is really heavy there, and it's about this thick."
Compared to the envious look on Jiang Mian's face, they weren't particularly interested.
Because the exams are over, the school issued a notice ordering all students to leave the school within the next two days, and the dormitory gates will be locked the day after tomorrow.
He Yubai's home is in this city; with just one phone call, a driver can come pick him up in his van.
But he still packed his luggage early, in a very simple backpack.
After all, with this young master's wealth, he could easily buy a house anywhere he wanted. Anything related to money was just a piece of cake for him.
He Yubai said goodbye to the group and made a promise to meet again at school next spring.
Although they are still college students who are still quite immature, they have already learned to speak like adults, saying comforting words such as "Be careful on the road" and "Get home safely."
When his gaze swept over Jiang Mian, He Yubai simply nodded at him without mentioning "Jiang Wan" again.
Jiang Mian smiled at him and said, "Be careful on the road."
"The same to you."
They were polite, yet their interactions carried a distance that didn't feel like that between roommates.
Jiang Mian thought to herself, "He should have let it go by now."
Because He Yubai left early, only Jiang Mian and two others are left in the dormitory now.
Chen Yu and Feng Jun bought tickets for the afternoon, while Jiang Mian's tickets were for tomorrow morning.
Because it was nearing the end of the semester, the other dormitories were using their electricity sparingly, counting down the days until they would leave school.
Because of Young Master He, who was a money god, their dormitory's electricity bill was paid for a whole year, while others were still paying their electricity bills monthly.
Even on cold days, with the air conditioning on every day, the power has never been cut off.
The three of them had previously discussed in secret how much electricity He Yubai had paid.
The dormitory was very hot, making the three of them drowsy. In the end, Chen Yu made the final decision – let's go out for a meal together!
He Yubai was supposed to be included in the dormitory dinner, but he decided to leave first and missed the meal.
The three of them didn't go too far, and found a small restaurant near the school.
At the table, Feng Jun originally wanted to drink a few more bottles of wine. He felt that the atmosphere was not right if the gathering did not involve drinking a little wine.
But Chen Yu refused, and Jiang Mian said she didn't drink, so Feng Jun had no choice but to give up in the end.
While they were eating, other guests came in from outside. Seeing them brushing the snowflakes off their heads, they knew it had started snowing again.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was lively and bustling. Feng Jun's face was flushed from eating, and Jiang Mian and Chen Yu were also slightly sweating.
"I really envy Young Master He. He can just make a phone call and his driver comes to pick him up again. Unlike us," Feng Jun said with a look of melancholy. "It's starting to snow outside again. It's already inconvenient to carry all these bags home, and now we have to brave the snow to catch the bus. Different people have different fates!"
"You didn't even drink alcohol, how could you be so tipsy after just a few dishes?"
Chen Yu glanced at him slightly: "Besides, with such advanced transportation now, you don't need to run to the station on your own two legs. What are you being so sour about?"
“I wasn’t being sarcastic,” Feng Jun said righteously. “I was just making a casual remark.”
“Then why don’t you reminisce about your grades?” Jiang Mian took a sip of her drink and chatted with Chen Yu about some gossip. “This guy sat next to me during yesterday’s exam, and he fell asleep on the desk less than ten minutes into the exam. His paper was spotless, as if he was afraid of wasting his pen refills.”
Chen Yu nodded: "I saw it. He really should lament his grades and pray that his professors will help him out, otherwise he'll have to fail and have to retake the exam."
"You wouldn't know this, would you?"
Feng Jun chuckled: "When classes first started, Teacher Ren said that attendance, summaries, and assignments would account for 60% of the final grade. Although I didn't do much on my test papers, I never missed an attendance test!"
Jiang Mian asked, "Aren't you busy helping girls rank up every day? What about your homework?"
Chen Yu interrupted, "Copy mine."
Speechless, Jiang Mian chose to give him a thumbs up.
"Say no more, I have to toast my brother Chen to thank him for taking such good care of me, Feng, this semester!"
Feng Jun picked up a drink, and his words were so passionate and impassioned that anyone who didn't know him would think he was the chairman of a company holding an annual meeting.
Seeing his unreliable demeanor, Jiang Mian quietly moved closer to Chen Yu: "What exactly are you after?"
"I hope he can behave himself and not cause me any trouble. Otherwise, if the counselor talks to me, I'll make sure there are only three living beings in our dorm."
"Brother Chen is awesome!"
After the dinner, Chen Yu and Feng Jun started their journey home.
With nothing to do in the evening, Jiang Mian did a thorough cleaning of her dormitory.
Even though there's a winter break between them, the dorm room will still be covered in dust by then.
But it's always good to tidy up, and soon, Jiang Mian discovered her first surprise while tidying up.
It wasn't really a surprise; he found a book tucked away in a corner under his desk, a book he had borrowed from the library last semester.
When the due date arrived, the item was inexplicably lost. The owner worried that the longer it was delayed, the higher the late fees would be.
Unable to find it anywhere, he had no choice but to buy the book himself.
Some laws are indeed true: what we cannot find now will surely appear in some unexpected place in the future.
Now, it has appeared.
After wiping the dust off the book cover, Jiang Mian could see a label on the back for easy reference.
Now that you've spent money to make it your own, you can remove that label.
Although the dormitory space was not large, inspired by the book she found, Jiang Mian tried to pay more attention to the corners and edges.
After a flurry of activity, time flew by, and because of the snow, it got dark early outside.
The next morning, after confirming that everything was in order, Jiang Mian took her luggage and left, locking the door behind her.
He took a photo and posted it on his WeChat Moments.
Caption: "See you next year!"
