In early March, the heavy snow that fell in S City last year had disappeared, and the entire city was enveloped in a spring-like atmosphere.
The lake on campus was chilly in the morning. Students were already sitting on the small stone benches on the shore, reciting their textbooks. French, Japanese, Spanish, English, and other languages were mixed together, creating a unique scene at S University.
The first half of each year is filled with the vigor of new students and the faint thoughts of graduates about to leave school.
When the gardenias bloom in May, senior students will begin their thesis defenses, then pack their bags and head off to different places.
It was the weekend, and Su Xun arrived at Pei Ke's house near the school early in the morning.
Inside the study, one person sat at the table facing the computer, while another leaned against the bookshelf, holding a dark-covered collection of modern British poetry.
Pei Ke has many original English books that are hard to find in China. Over the past six months, she has been reading them every time she comes here, and her English level has improved significantly.
With the small gauze window open, the light-colored bed curtains swayed gently in the breeze, stirring up a sense of tranquility in the room.
Pei Ke was checking his graduation thesis. After making the last revision, he rubbed his temples to dispel the fatigue in his eyes.
A figure in a white dress standing next to the bookshelf drew everyone's attention.
The curtains swayed almost imperceptibly, and beside them sat a girl reading a book. The pale golden light reflected off her, making her eyelashes appear distinct and fluttering slightly.
He recalled an old movie he had seen many years ago: a clean-cut young man in a white shirt leaned against the windowsill, flipping through a book, while a girl sitting at the desk secretly watched him, her eyes glazed over—it was so beautiful.
At this moment, when the boy and girl switched places, there was an indescribable tranquility and harmony.
Su Xun noticed the gaze directed at him, put down the poetry collection in his hand, and smiled.
"What's wrong."
Pei Ke shook his head, paused for a moment, and said, "You can continue to live in this house after I graduate."
He's graduating this year and has already received an offer from a university in Japan, so he won't be living here anymore.
"No need, I'm used to living in the dorm, it's more lively there. Besides, my home is in this city, it feels weird to specifically look for a place to live outside."
She shook her head. With Wen Yanyan in the dorm, she'd never be bored. If that girl knew she was moving out, who knows what kind of trouble she'd cause her.
"By the way, I heard you signed up for this year's basketball tournament."
S University has a regular event: every year in the second half of the year, they hold a friendly basketball tournament for undergraduate and graduate students graduating that year.
This matter has always been handled by the student union. Wen Yanyan became the vice president of the student union in her junior year. After seeing Pei Ke's name on the list, she mentioned it to her.
This is quite novel. Pei Ke doesn't seem to like basketball, yet he unexpectedly participated in this competition.
"Xiang Yang reported it to me." He sighed.
He had no intention of participating, but Xiang Yang liked excitement, so he wrote down the names of everyone in the dormitory. After the selection process within the college, only he and Xiang Yang remained in the dormitory, and they formed a team with several boys from other classes.
"Can you do it?" Su Xun asked this question subconsciously.
She had never seen Pei Ke play basketball.
"Are you doubting me, huh?"
As Su Xun was recalling in her mind, the man slowly walked up to her, his eyes fixed on the face in front of him as he pondered deeply.
"After all, I've never seen you before..."
The rest of the words were swallowed, the familiar, cool scent of cedar enveloped her, and a pair of burning hands were now around her waist, holding her tightly.
A few seconds later, Pei Ke released the person in his arms, a seductive glint in his eyes, and said softly, "You can't say those two words in front of a man, don't you know that?"
Su Xun: ...
She really wasn't thinking about anything else just now; her mind was completely occupied with basketball!
