Lu Yinxing nodded: "Then I’ll get going."

Xia Ye gently kissed Lu Yinxing on the forehead: "Send me a message when you get to the dorm."

Lu Yinxing left.

Xia Ye went inside.

It seemed like there was a noise from upstairs.

Xia Ye frowned and paused in his steps.

But when Xia Ye went upstairs, he found Wen Quan still drunkenly lying on the bed.

Somehow, Xia Ye first felt relieved, but then his heart grew heavier.

Lu Yinxing returned to the dormitory.

As usual, she was subjected to Hu Xinlei’s mocking remarks.

Lu Yinxing really didn’t have the energy to argue with her.

But Lu Yinxing had made up her mind.

Next semester, she planned to move out.

Miraculously, from that night onwards,

Wen Quan never reached out to Lu Yinxing again.

Nor did he show up beneath the girls’ dormitory.

Lu Yinxing didn’t know what Xia Ye had said to him afterward.

Or whether he had truly figured things out.

She only thought this matter was finally over.

But a week later, Lu Yinxing heard the news that Wen Quan was going abroad as an exchange student.

When Lu Yinxing heard the news, she felt really uncomfortable.

Because Lu Yinxing suspected that this was mostly related to her.

Though Wen Quan’s grandparents had settled in Australia, his parents had long returned to the country.

And besides, he had never mentioned any intention to study abroad before.

But when the list was announced, Lu Yinxing felt really upset. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Just as Lu Yinxing was contemplating whether to find Wen Quan to sort things out,

Wen Quan called Lu Yinxing.

Wen Quan’s voice was surprisingly calm, even with a hint of warmth: "Yinxing, I’m leaving. Can we meet up?"

Lu Yinxing naturally couldn’t refuse.

He added: "Just the two of us, we haven’t had a proper meal in a long time."

Finally, they both went to Crab Empire.

This was their favorite spot before.

Lu Yinxing enjoyed eating crab.

But she found it troublesome.

So Wen Quan had mastered the skill of shelling crabs.

Each crab was completely dismantled, with the shell-less meat still able to be arranged into a complete crab.

Thinking of this, Lu Yinxing felt even sorrier for Wen Quan.

She had always taken it for granted, complacently enjoying Wen Quan’s kindness.

If she had firmly rejected him in the beginning, he might not have been hurt so deeply and now had to go abroad.

Lu Yinxing quickly arrived at Crab Empire.

It was too late to book a private room.

Wen Quan had arrived early and chosen a spot near the window in the hall.

Honestly, it was an excellent spot.

Crab Empire was at the top of a building.

And the entire hall had a full-length window wall.

Looking out from inside, there was a perspective as if standing atop the world, as if the bustling world was in view.

Wen Quan had already arrived.

Lu Yinxing walked over and sat down across from Wen Quan.

After Lu Yinxing sat down, the waiter came over.

It was evident that Wen Quan had already ordered the dishes; he smiled slightly and the waiter left with the menu.

Lu Yinxing looked at Wen Quan across from her.

He seemed much more haggard.

Lu Yinxing almost didn’t recognize him; he had lost a lot of weight, and his eye sockets were sunken.

Lu Yinxing felt very distressed but didn’t know what to say for a while.

Wen Quan, however, gave a faint smile: "How have you been lately?"
