By the end of September, the weather in City A began to become muggy. The air was filled with a mixture of heat and moisture, making it difficult to breathe. Dark clouds blocked out much of the sunlight, and occasionally a rumble of thunder would roll in. Rain seemed to be threatening to fall from the sky.
It was lunchtime at University A, and Wen Zhixia ran into her roommate Ye Yao as she came out of the cafeteria.
Holding an umbrella, Ye Yao quickly walked up to Wen Zhixia and asked, "Zhixia, we're going to a karaoke bar this afternoon, along with some classmates from the next department. Do you want to come along?"
The umbrella covered my head, making it even darker.
Wen Zhixia replied, "I have a tutoring class later and a part-time job in the evening, so I won't go."
The two talked as they walked toward the dormitory.
Ye Yao sighed, "Why are you working so hard? University is the time to enjoy yourself. After graduation, it will be hard to be this relaxed."
Wen Zhixia smiled and said, "I also really enjoy the passion for my work."
Ye Yao was fairly familiar with Wen Zhixia and knew some of her family's situation. She sighed softly, "You'll be able to relax a bit after your sister takes the college entrance exam next year."
When the topic of her younger sister came up, a hint of weariness flashed across Wen Zhixia's face, but she still nodded: "I hope so. Are you going back to the dorm too?"
Ye Yao snapped out of her daze and said, "Sigh, I'm not going back to the dorm. They're already waiting for me at the school gate. I accidentally followed you and went astray."
Wen Zhixia smiled and said, "I'm so charming that I can make the beautiful Ye follow me around."
Ye Yao chuckled and patted him lightly: "Come on, Wen Xihua, I wouldn't dare call myself a beauty in front of you."
Wen Zhixia is beautiful and is recognized as the most beautiful girl in her department. She has a small, perfectly shaped face and a pair of captivating eyes that look at everyone with deep affection. Even if she walks around with a plain white face every day, people can't take their eyes off her.
Wen Zhixia's confession wall is filled with confessions every day; it's become so common that it's no longer surprising.
Wen Zhixia herself didn't care about any of this; her days consisted of attending classes, working part-time, and sleeping.
Ye Yao had known her since freshman year of college and had never seen her do anything else.
Ye Yao snapped out of her daze after staring at her face and said, "Alright, I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving. See you in class tomorrow."
Wen Zhixia said goodbye to Ye Yao and went back to her dormitory alone with her bag on her back.
The dorm rooms at University A are four-person rooms. Wen Zhixia thought no one was in the room, but when she pushed the door open, a red-haired girl was sitting in a chair, looking down and typing on her phone.
From the side, you can tell she's a little impatient.
It took Wen Zhixia a while to recognize who this red-haired girl was: Yu Mingxue.
When the dorms were assigned in the first year of university, Yu Mingxue came by, took a look, and left. Someone helped her make her bed and cleaned the room, but she never came back.
If it weren't for her highly recognizable face, Wen Zhixia wouldn't have recognized her.
Yu Mingxue felt the dormitory door open, and she turned her head to look at it, her brows furrowed tightly, as if she was on the verge of getting angry.
Wen Zhixia met her gaze and nodded slightly, as if to say hello.
Yu Mingxue watched as she deftly took the books out of her bag and put other books inside.
He looked like he was about to leave.
Yu Mingxue frowned. She was about to remain silent, but seeing the pile of things placed on her seat, she suppressed her resentment and called out, "Wen Zhixia."
Wen Zhixia had just finished packing her things and slung her bag over her shoulder when she turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yu Mingxue pointed to the things on her bed, mostly clothes and dolls. When she first came in intending to rest, these things were hidden under the blanket. She only saw them when she lifted it up. Later, she opened the wardrobe, which was also full of things.
Yu Mingxue, suppressing her anger, asked, "Is there anything of yours?"
Wen Zhixia shook her head: "No."
After answering, she glanced at her watch; it was almost 12:30, and she needed to be at the student's house before 1:30, or she would be late.
She asked, "Is there anything else?"
Yu Mingxue was still angry, and when she heard her question, she replied stiffly, "No."
Wen Zhixia replied with an "okay," and said, "I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
However, seeing Yu Mingxue return, she guessed that she wanted to come back to rest. After thinking for a moment, she said gently, "If you want to rest, you can rest on my bed. I won't be here this afternoon."
After saying that, she picked up an umbrella and left.
Yu Mingxue stared at the closed door, then glanced at Wen Zhixia's spot. Wen Zhixia's spot was very clean, and she didn't have many things. It was simple and unpretentious compared to the other two.
But Yu Mingxue quickly looked away, thinking to herself, "That's a really low-level way to curry favor."
Wen Zhixia had no idea what Yu Mingxue was thinking. Her thought was simple: since Yu Mingxue wasn't in the dorm, it wouldn't hurt to let her rest there for a while.
She boarded the bus, and her phone rang. A student messaged her asking when she would arrive.
It takes half an hour to get from the school to the student's home by bus, and then another five minutes to walk after getting off the bus. After replying to her, Wen Zhixia quickly started memorizing vocabulary.
After getting off the bus, she had almost finished memorizing the vocabulary words for the day.
Wen Zhixia walked to the entrance of the residential area. She had been there several times before, and the security guard recognized her and opened the gate for her.
She had just entered the residential area when her phone rang again. She kept looking down at her phone as she walked further in.
