The days slipped by.

Everyone was changing without even noticing.

After interning at the company for a month over the summer, Qin Zhiwei had realized he barely knew a thing about his own major. So once junior year started, he began taking class seriously. He spent Saturday with Shen Xinyi, then on Sunday went back to shut himself in the campus library and study.

As for Zhao Ming and Zhang Ruowei, ever since that hot kiss in the parking garage, their relationship had shot forward. They were now at the stage where they held hands the second they saw each other, and wanted to hug the second nobody was around.

Maybe what Xu Ye had said at dinner that Friday night had gotten through, because Zhang Ruowei had actually started learning from Shen Xinyi and Chen Qingqing. She no longer insisted on always having the upper hand in the relationship. And once she deliberately held back, Zhao Ming spoiled her even more.

From Monday to Friday, Zhang Xinzhou was living the same three-stop routine as Xu Ye. He hadn't gone home for the whole two-month summer break, so now his old man called him every few days. When his dad heard he was working at a company, he assumed his son was short on cash and wired him six figures for living expenses in one go.

Yang Fei was the same as ever. On weekends he worked at the trading company in the campus gym. After things ended with Li Lulu, he understood even better how much money mattered. At lunch with Wang Qin that Friday, it had only taken him a few sentences to spot that she was a green tea. These days, he had no interest at all in romance.

Li Tongwen often wasn't in the dorm these days, and no one could guess where he went. Sometimes he went to the company, sometimes to see Wei Guoyou, and sometimes he was invited over to Zhang Xiaoyan's place…

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival was September 14th.

At around four thirty that afternoon, Xu Ye left the company…
