In the dormitory, the glow of the setting sun spilled over the corridor, elongating people's shadows.
The interplay of light and darkness was like a precise knife, bisecting the wall and ground into two distinct halves.
Ye Chunxiao swallowed nervously and cautiously looked all around her.
Most of the people were in the cafeteria, and the few who had returned were alone, quickly entering their dorms.
No one noticed her.
The occasional passerby didn't even greet Ye Chunxiao.
She was like a lonely ghost wandering the school, perpetually unnoticed.
Ye Chunxiao resented this invisible isolation and exclusion, always envying Yue Qingqing, who chatted and laughed easily with others.
But what did the other girl have, really?
She was nothing but a pitiful creature who couldn't even identify her real parents.
Harboring such thoughts, Ye Chunxiao approached Yue Qingqing's dorm room.
The door was closed but not locked; with a push, it creaked open.
