Time seemed to fly by like a gust of wind, and the relationship between Xiao Ting and Lin Dongzhe quietly warmed in their daily interactions. The air was filled with an ambiguous tension, like vines gradually stretching under the warm spring sun, entwining around their hearts.
Lin Dongzhe often made excuses to help Xiao Ting carry heavy items, secretly hoping to spend more time with her. One day, when Xiao Ting returned from shopping with heavy rolls of paper and paints in her hands, Lin Dongzhe spotted her as soon as she entered the courtyard. He quickly stepped forward, took the bag from her, his muscular arms tensing as he casually said, "You bought so much; don’t tire yourself out." Xiao Ting blushed and playfully retorted, "I have to prepare for my competition piece; I need to buy quite a bit." Though there was a hint of complaint in her words, the smile at the corner of her mouth betrayed her delight. They walked side by side into the house, their arms occasionally brushing against each other, sending electric shivers through them both. They instinctively blushed and felt their hearts race.
As the time for Lin Dongzhe to return approached, the holiday slipped away in an instant. At the gate of the courtyard, he held Xiao Ting's hand tightly, his brows knitted in a frown of reluctance. With a quivering voice, he murmured, "Xiao Ting, I really don’t want to leave, but I have to go back to prepare for school. Wait for me; I’ll come find you as soon as I have time." Tears welled up in Xiao Ting's eyes as she reached up to adjust his collar, sobbing softly, "Be careful on your way back. I’m looking forward to your return."
Meanwhile, Lin Xiao Yu was busy preparing for her entrance into Shanghai Theatre Academy. She spent all day in the training room, repeatedly practicing her dance moves in front of the mirror. Her hair clung to her cheeks from sweat, but she was completely oblivious to it. Her mother, Song Ying, often brought her nutritious meals and watched her daughter work hard with a mix of pride and concern. "Xiao Yu," she would say, "don’t overexert yourself. With your determination, you’ll surely shine in college." Wiping away sweat, Lin Xiao Yu replied with a smile, "Mom, I need to practice hard; I can’t fall behind!"
Soon after, everyone gathered in Shanghai. The train station was bustling with activity. As soon as Lin Dongzhe stepped off the train, he stretched his neck to scan the crowd for Huang Ling’s family and hurried over to greet them properly. However, his gaze unconsciously lingered on Xiao Ting, a slight smile appearing on his lips as he waved at her. The group exchanged warm greetings; Song Ying took Huang Ling's hand and laughed joyfully like old friends reunited. "Finally see you! Was your journey smooth?" Huang Ling responded with a smile.
Lin Xiao Yu’s keen eyes quickly caught the subtle tension between Lin Dongzhe and Xiao Ting. In that moment, she realized they had quietly started dating. Wisely saying nothing more about it, she simply smiled knowingly.
Lin Dongzhe returned to his dorm first with his parents following closely behind him. They helped him carry bags while bustling about setting up his bed and organizing his clothes. As Song Ying spread out the sheets, she reminded him gently, "Make sure you eat well and sleep well at school; focus on your studies and don’t get too distracted." Lin Wufeng chimed in occasionally with caring remarks while helping arrange daily necessities.
Once everything was settled, Lin Dongzhe said, "Mom and Dad, you can leave me here today; Lin Xiao Yu starts school a day later; let’s send her off tomorrow." Everyone agreed this was reasonable and then excitedly began exploring the campus of National Chiao Tung University together. The campus was shaded by lush trees with buildings arranged harmoniously; students walked along tree-lined paths filled with vitality. Aunt Huang Ling exclaimed throughout their tour, "This campus is truly impressive! The environment is wonderful; Lin Dongzhe must cherish this opportunity to learn here."
After tiring themselves out from walking around, they gathered in front of a landmark building on campus and asked a passing student for help taking a group photo together. Each face radiated joy as they captured this beautiful moment with a click of the shutter. Later on, they found a restaurant where they sat together around a table filled with Shanghai’s signature dishes—richly flavored and aromatic—sharing stories and laughter as they enjoyed their meal together.
