After Jiang Ning simply 'rested', he bid farewell to everyone and walked out from the crowd, heading straight to the outside of the gym room.
Tongtong was just inside the room, perhaps not wanting to be noticed, she waited outside.
Xue Yuantong was looking down at her toes, her shoelaces tied into a bow; sensing darkness in front of her, she looked up:
"Chuchu is here."
Jiang Ning counted the time: "Pretty early."
"They had self-study for the last class, she came out early." Chuchu specifically took leave, fearing the crowd after class might delay their small dinner plans.
"Hmm, let's go."
Jiang Ning, carrying the Tongtong-branded access card, stepped onto the main path of the empty campus.
The midday sun was great, and the buildings on campus particularly dazzling, with the light reflecting off the glass windows.
They walked all the way to the school gate, where a young security guard, wise in the way of the world, guarded the slightly ajar gate.
