As night fell over the Xucheng Bus Station, it remained as bustling and noisy as ever.
"Chen Yansen, I'm over here!"
Meng Jie, a backpack slung over her shoulders, stood in the crowd, waving and calling out to Chen Yansen not far away.
For their meeting, she had put on light makeup and was wearing a long, indigo dress with a short jacket. Her smile was radiant, and her eyes were filled with a joy like that of a long-thirsty traveler suddenly spotting an oasis.
"Tsk, tsk. Is this Squad Leader Meng's first time in a dress? We have to commemorate this! Come on, look at the camera and give me a smile."
Chen Yansen smiled faintly, pulled out his phone, and wrapped an arm around Meng Jie's shoulder.
"How does it look? It's not *all* for you, you know. As the squad leader, I signed up to perform at the School of Business's welcome party next week."
Meng Jie said with a giggle, though her words belied her true feelings.
