LUO YAN watched as their car slowed near T University's main gate, the large stone sign coming into view. The road ahead was packed with other cars dropping off students, all inching toward the parking lots. Through the window, he saw crowds of freshmen dragging suitcases toward the dorms, their families trailing behind with boxes and bags. Upperclassmen in bright vests directed traffic, some holding signs for different departments. The familiar brick academic buildings lined the paths, their windows reflecting the morning sun.
A strange sense of déjà vu washed over him. It felt just like his first day arriving here as a freshman twelve years ago, back when he was still bursting with hopes and dreams for the future. While he didn't feel quite the same now, he was still genuinely excited to study here again. And one of the biggest reasons for that excitement was Shen Ji Yun.
Luo Yan suddenly remembered the day the college entrance examination results were released.
