Chapter 2 - 001 The So-Called Beloved
September, the start of the school year.
In the dormitory, Su Wan was woken up by a rhythmic phone ringtone—not an alarm, but a call. Just as she was reaching out from under the covers to find her phone, she heard Yao Ye's slightly angry voice from the bed next to hers, "Damn! Five-thirty! Who's so lacking in morals!"
Then she heard Su Wan's leisurely voice: "Xu Chengyang..."
Her mind still in a state of haze, Su Wan accidentally pressed the speaker button. The next moment, a surging and passionate voice exploded in the dormitory, disrupting the morning peace: "Wanwan! Long time no see, I miss you so much! I'm on the bus now! Tell Yao Ye! You guys will see me as soon as you wake up!"
On the first night back to school, Yao Ye unsurprisingly suffered from insomnia, tossing and turning until three in the morning before falling asleep. She planned to sleep until naturally waking up this morning, but was now woken up by Xu Chengyang's inappropriate call. Her anger flared up instantly. Without waiting for Su Wan to speak, Yao Ye snatched the phone, full of righteous indignation, "Xu Chengyang, if you were in front of me right now, I'd definitely kill you!"
"..."
Yes, Su Wan always thought Xu Chengyang was the only lively spirit in their dormitory.

The next time she woke up, it was already broad daylight. Sunlight streamed generously through the curtains onto the ceramic-tiled floor of the dormitory, casting a faint glow in mid-air.
