Yun Bixue and Xie Limo strolled on the campus. When some students walked past them, they were stunned by their beauty and would steal a few more glances at them in envy. Since it was dark, not to mention that both of them were dressed casually, most of the students didn’t realize that they were Young Master Xie and Miss Yun. They all believed that they were just fellow schoolmates.
“The two of them look so perfect together. They look so amazing even from the back.”
“Yeah, he’s so handsome, and she’s so beautiful. What a sight!”
“If only he were my boyfriend.”
“Stop daydreaming. Didn’t you see how they were holding hands? They must be deeply in love with each other. Why would he dump his girlfriend for you? What a joke!”
“I’ve never seen them before. Are they the hunk and belle of the school?”
Because of the dim lights, no one was able to take a clear look at them. Nonetheless, they were all incredibly envious.
Yun Bixue naturally could hear those words. She tightened her grip on Xie Limo’s hand, and her face glowed sweetly.
While Yun Bixue walked, she described each building to Xie Limo. She told him where she used to stay and what classes she used to attend, relaying some interesting episodes that happened back in school to him.
Xie Limo listened quietly and offered his opinions occasionally. Through her words, he could imagine her university life.
He knew that she had only chosen to talk about her pleasant memories. When she recalled unhappy events, he would also understand that it was probably related to An Yexuan.
Sometimes, he would think that if he had met her in university, he wouldn’t allow her to go through so much suffering.
When they arrived at one of the buildings, Yun Bixue stopped. She turned to Xie Limo and said, “This is where the school’s theater is. There’s a new movie, and it’s cheaper here than elsewhere. Should we go in and watch it?”
Xie Limo caressed her head and answered, “Are you up for it? It’s almost midnight. Aren’t you tired?”
Yun Bixue shook her head. “I’m not tired at all.” Because she had her lover by her side, there was a radiant smile on her face.
Looking at the glow in Yun Bixue’s eyes, Xie Limo nodded. “Okay, let’s watch the movie.” As long as she would be happy, he would go along with what she wanted.
The two of them entered the theater, and much to Xie Limo’s dismay, it was rather crowded.
Yun Bixue explained quietly, “If the students don’t have classes the next morning, they would come here to watch movies. It’s fine even if they stay up all night. This is also a form of entertainment.”
Most of the seats were occupied by couples, so Yun Bixue pulled Xie Limo to sit at the back of the theater.
The movie that was showing was about one-sided love. Seeing how the character was unable to be together with the one she loved, Yun Bixue couldn’t help but feel her heart ache. It tugged at the most tender strings of her heart, and her emotions wavered as the plot progressed.
Xie Limo could sense the changes in Yun Bixue’s emotions, so he reached out to wrap her in his arms. He whispered, “The movie is just fiction. Why do you still feel so emotional?”
“I just feel sad watching it.”
“It’s not real anyway. Think about your own life. That way, you won’t feel sad anymore.”
After the movie, it was already dawn, and Xie Limo finally brought Yun Bixue home.

Noel Harlem University in Country E.
Because of the upcoming autumn school break, the classes were more packed during this time. Yun Bilu attended classes the entire day and was overwhelmed. She couldn’t even meet Huang Yize at all. As long as she had spare time, she would look for Huang Yize. She would either attend and sit in on his classes or do self-study together.
The two of them accompanied each other so frequently that even the lecturers knew who Yun Bilu was. They would even call on her to answer questions, and she would tug on Huang Yize’s sleeve quietly, asking him to whisper the answers to her.
