Today was the first day of school for institutions of all levels.
On his way to school, Lu Yuan saw students everywhere, dressed in uniforms and carrying school bags.
A boy in a blue and white uniform, wearing glasses, hurried past Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan noticed the name "Burnt Rock No.1 Middle School" embroidered on the boy's uniform.
He suddenly thought of Xia Zhijing—the girl he had carried out of a rainy alley three months ago, as timid and docile as a kitten.
Lu Yuan took out his phone, thinking of sending 'Peaceful Zhu Bao' a message.
I initially planned to send "Happy First Day of School," but then again, what's so happy about school starting?
"Have a kick-ass start to school?"
Forget it.
"Wishing you a smooth new school year! (sun emoji)"
Is this the first time I've actually initiated a conversation with Xia Zhijing?
Before she could reply, Lu Yuan slipped his phone back into his pocket.
His home wasn't far from No. 4 Middle School.
