The days passed by unnoticed.
Zhang Yuan's teacher had urged him several times, and Lin Xue should have returned by now; they've been out for over twenty days, and the day of their separation was quickly approaching.
Zhang Yuan became somewhat clingy, always wanting to be by the young girl's side.
"Brother Yuan, is it really necessary to be so clingy? We can meet anytime if you miss me!" Lin Xue sighed as she looked at the person sitting next to her, not going to bed even though it was already midnight.
"It's not the same. It doesn't feel real! Besides, once I get into it, it's going to be day and night, and I might not be able to manage anything else. While I still can, I want to stick to you a little more, so don't forget about me then!" Zhang Yuan spoke like an overgrown child.
"As soon as you have free time, you dive right in. I'll prepare some food for you!" Lin Xue said, somewhat sympathetically.
