On October 1st, most teachers and students would choose to go home. Su Lin sat on a chair at the lost and found, the door behind him wide open. Except for the rummaging sound coming from the girl looking for information in front of him, the hallway was quiet.

    He was flipping his phone around absentmindedly, when three WeChat notifications suddenly came in succession.

    [Deer OO]: Did you know senior

    [Deer OO]: Why are we so miserable

    [Deer OO]: TvT

    [Su Lin]: ?

    He lowered his head and typed: Know what?

    [Deer OO]: The email said that after the holidays we have to go back to take an exam for french ah so annoying ah

    Take an exam?

    C University had no midterm exams but professors could personally give their own exams. The exam weight was also determined by the teacher, but most teachers wouldn’t arrange additional exams.

    Yan Chuan… was not most teachers.

    “……”

    Su Lin looked at the email she was referencing and pinched the bridge of his nose with some annoyance.

    This semester, he spent more thought and time on this elective class than his major classes.

    Just as he was about to type out a reply, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

    How did she suddenly type so much faster?

    And there was no more punctuation.

    Before he could ask.

    [Deer OO]: Oh my God ah this voice to text function is too amazing right I no longer have to type and I’m really happy ah the only thing is that there’s no punctuation marks don’t know why that is

    Su Lin: “………”

    He smiled and typed: Well, you can manually add punctuation.

    Then, thinking about it, he quickly typed a question.

    [Su Lin]: Are you returning to school on the sixth?

    [Deer OO]: Mmhm yup

    [Su Lin]: Let’s review French together?

    The girl who was going through the information called out to him, “Senior, I found it. Come and see!”

    “Okay.” Su Lin answered. Seeing that Lu Yuanyuan hadn’t replied, he put the phone back into his pocket, stood up, and walked to the desk.

    The girl also stood up, handed over a piece of paper, and pointed to one of the lines, “This is the person.”

    [Name]: Lu Yuanyuan

    [Class]: I won’t write the class. Congratulations on finding your key, random classmate!

    [Phone number]: I won’t write this one either! Congratulations to you again, ah!

    Ha.

    Su Lin chuckled darkly looking at it.

    This person was quite clever. They actually didn’t write their own information.

    But that was no problem. Even if they didn’t write it, he would still remember their name.

    He was just about to return the paper when he glanced at the name again out of the corner of his eyes.

    His breathing stalled for a moment.

    Hmm…????

    Lu Yuanyuan?

    He brought the paper closer to him and looked at it again carefully.

    First of all, this surname. It was almost impossible to be another.

    Secondly.

He had seen, on the first pages of Lu Yuanyuan’s PowerPoints and her notebook, her handwritten name. Compared to the handwriting on this paper…

    Exactly the same.

    The girl standing behind the desk looked at the person in front of her staring dead-straight at the paper in his hand. The expression on his face seemed… shocked?

    She felt that if his face was a ceramic, this ceramic was probably cracking little by little right now.

    “Um, senior,” She inquired in a whisper, “may I ask what the problem is?”

    “……”

    He glanced up at her and put the paper back on the table. His voice was a little dull, “No.”

    The girl easily picked up the paper, saw the two columns of class and phone number, and instantly understood why he reacted the way he did.

    “Oh, senior, you want to thank her, don’t you? Many people who find their lost things want to thank the person who brought their lost item here. If so, we can help you-“

    “No need.” Su Lin hurriedly cut off her words, “Not necessary.”

    “……”

    “I know… her contact information.”

    “Ah…” The girl was taken aback for a moment, then collected the paper while surprised: “So it was an acquaintance who picked it up? This situation is rare, eh. Then you two are kindred spirits!”

    About to turn around, Su Lin’s steps paused.

    He slightly closed his eyes.

    Yes.

    Really, have, fate.

    Su Lin’s temples began to throb. Nodding to the girl, he said thanks and left through the office door.

    When he descended the stairs, he carefully recalled the scene of that day, and had completely no impression of who he had met on the road.

    How could he have imagined that in a school as big as C University, with so many people, it would be…

    Surprisingly… be…

    Lu Yuanyuan.

    Su Lin felt as if he had created an illusion.

    A face appeared in front of him. At first, the features were blurred but, in the end, it became Lu Yuanyuan. She was dressed as usual, her voice warm and soft, speaking to him: “Senior, I picked up the key for you, are you happy?”

    That last sentence kept reverberating in his ears.

    Are you happy?

   You happy…

    Happy…

    Unknowingly, he had already gone down to the ground floor. Looking at the steps under his feet, he was thoroughly dumbfounded.

    “……”

    He actually forgot to take the elevator, and walked down eight floors on autopilot.

    Su Lin took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. Remaining in place, he took out his phone and opened WeChat.

    Lu Yuanyuan had replied to him.

    [Deer OO]: [OK.jpg]

    [Deer OO]: I had to do something just now and didn’t look at my phone. So, we’ll go to the library, okay?

    Su Lin’s tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth. He very, very slowly typed four letters: o, k, a, y.

    [Su Lin]: Okay.
