Because the central kitchen is too far from the school, I definitely won’t be able to do a part-time job there by then.

But even so, she feels very satisfied.

After deducting her living expenses, she can still take good care of her family, making it easier for her mother.

…

In normal university’s autumn campus, the branches of the trees are no longer lush.

The sparse leaves tremble in the wind, making a subtle “rustling” sound.

When they reached a fork in the road.

Qian Lele pursed her lips and asked, “Brother, where should we eat?”

“Hmm…” Tang Song pondered for a moment, then turned and said, “How about eating at the cafeteria? Your treat.”

“Okay! Let’s go this way. I just added money to my meal card, you can eat whatever you like!” Qian Lele’s eyes lit up instantly.

“Then I’ll let you splurge once today.” Tang Song smiled and followed her down the left path.

On an overcast evening, the sky had completely dimmed.

They had only taken a few steps forward when the streetlights on both sides lit up one by one.

The dim yellow light cast over them, stretching and intertwining their shadows.

Qian Lele walked joyfully ahead, leading the way, occasionally glancing back at Tang Song, unable to hide the smile on her lips.

She had always wanted to do something for Tang Song but knew he lacked nothing.

Being able to treat him to a meal made her especially happy.

Amidst laughing and chatting, they arrived at the familiar First Cafeteria.

Unlike the emptiness during the summer break, the cafeteria was now bustling, the entire building brightly lit, with all stalls open for business.

Qian Lele, familiar with the place, led Tang Song up to the third floor, a creative restaurant called “Condensed Flavor.”

They mainly serve local flavors and trendy specialties, a bit pricier than downstairs, but tastier too.

Qian Lele pointed to different stalls while asking about his preferences.

Qian Lele was very generous; as long as Tang Song was interested, she quickly swiped her card to pay.

Broken cake, vermicelli, meat sandwich, stone pot rice, drinks.

After finding a seat by the window, Qian Lele handed chopsticks to Tang Song, “Try it and see if it’s good.”

Tang Song tasted the noodles in his bowl, the rich soup slipping over his tongue, bringing a burst of freshness and aroma.

Then he took a bite of a broken cake filled with potato slices and ham, a satisfied smile appearing on his face, “Really delicious.”

Qian Lele’s eyes immediately curved into crescents, “As long as you like it.”

She had hardly ever been to the third-floor cafeteria, but having often heard classmates say it tasted good, she decided to bring Tang Song here.

Seeing he truly enjoyed it, an indescribable sense of satisfaction welled up inside her.

“You eat the stone pot rice first, then we can exchange later.” Tang Song nudged the stone pot and placed a bottle of drink in front of her.

Upon hearing the word “exchange,” Qian Lele’s cheeks turned red, she nodded, and lowered her head to start eating.

In university, dating among students is very common, especially in normal schools where there are more women than men.

She often saw couples buying two meals and then exchanging them.

This intimate gesture made her a bit shy.

The cafeteria was bustling with chatter.

The two chatted while enjoying the food.

In such a warm and lively environment, Qian Lele seemed to become more outgoing, exhibiting the youthful vitality expected of a girl her age.

…

7:30 PM.

The two walked side by side out of the cafeteria, heading towards the girls’ dormitory.

Qian Lele looked at the dormitory building gradually coming into view, a strong sense of reluctance in her eyes.

An hour and a half seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye.

She knew Tang Song was very busy; today was a weekday, and he had work tomorrow. It was already not easy for him to come see her.

But for the first time, she felt “dissatisfied,” always feeling it wasn’t enough.

She wanted to spend more time with him, doing more things.

Thinking of this separation, it might be another month before seeing him again, made her especially sad.

Even though she deliberately slowed her pace, the girls’ dormitory still gradually appeared before her.

She turned around, looking at the boy opposite her.

Under the soft light, his figure carried some blurriness and glow.

“Thump thump—” Qian Lele heard her heartbeat once more.

A rush of warmth surged up to her forehead.

“Brother!” Her voice was somewhat loud due to excitement.

Tang Song raised an eyebrow, surprised, “What’s up, Lele?”

Qian Lele bit her plump lips, “I… I… I haven’t been to the shopping street for a few days, can you… spare some time to walk with me, there’s also Sister Wen who sells grilled sausages, she’s been talking about you too…”

Her voice grew softer, looking down at her toes.

Feeling ashamed of her willfulness and selfishness.

“Uh…” Tang Song blinked, extending his hand to ruffle her hair, “What are you overthinking? I’m not just here to have a meal with you, it’s not even 8 o’clock, hurry and put your backpack in the dorm and walk around with me.”

Upon hearing his words, Qian Lele suddenly raised her head, a delighted smile on her face, “Alright brother, wait for me a moment, I’ll be right back!”

After finishing, Qian Lele turned and ran towards the dormitory building.

Watching her graceful figure, Tang Song shook his head with a light laugh, a burst of indescribable emotion welling up inside him.

…

The door to dormitory 201 was pushed open vigorously.

Qian Lele ran in, placed her backpack on the bed, and began rummaging through her cabinet.

Wu Siqi, who was lying on the bed playing with her phone, curiously asked, “What’s up, Lele? Why are you in such a hurry?”

“It’s nothing, just finding some clothes.” Qian Lele replied, pulling out a clean, neatly folded white shirt and a pair of tight jeans from the cabinet.
