Under the hazy moonlight.

Yunmu Town, the weathered and faded concrete road. It stretches from the bridge, extending into the town in all directions.

Like gray veins, hidden in the night.

Beside the small building, Jiang Nian slightly lowered his head. From the end of the street came a crackling sound, a small car approaching from far away.

The car headlights swept over the teenagers, interrupting their next move.

"You..."

Chen Yunyun realized something, her eyes slightly widened, "We... just now you... I..."

The girl stammered, so nervous she was trembling.

"Uh, the mood got to me," Jiang Nian said, "Besides, I was just thinking, it's not like I did anything, right?"

Chen Yunyun pursed her lips, her hands clasped behind her. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"You really wanted to?"

Jiang Nian also felt a little embarrassed, chuckling dryly, "Actually, uh... it's not that big of a deal."

At this moment, it didn't matter what was being said anymore.

What mattered was being here.

"So... I'm going upstairs now?" The girl took a step back, still smiling at him.

"Alright..." Jiang Nian didn't move.

Suddenly, a refreshing scent wafted over. Chen Yunyun suddenly hugged Jiang Nian, her arms gradually tightening.

Jiang Nian could feel the warm, delicate, and full touch pressed against him.

He smelled the unique, slightly damp sweetness of summer.

With a pecking sound.

Chen Yunyun stood on her toes and quickly pecked Jiang Nian on the cheek. Then she released him and ran off a bit.

Her floral dress danced in the night wind, like a butterfly.

She suddenly looked back, smiled with pursed lips.

"I'm going up."

"Mm." Jiang Nian also smiled, thinking to himself that summer really is a great season for kisses, not too far off.

Soon.....

The barbecue hadn't been delivered, and he drove off alone to the next destination, thankfully not far.

Wang Yuhe came down quickly, wearing a summer onesie printed with dinosaurs.

Damn, it even had a tail.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Nian held the barbecue, placed it on a flat area. Taking a good look behind her, this elementary schooler was quite tall.

"Where did you get that outfit? It's really ugly."

"It's not ugly! Yunyun said it looks great!" Wang Yuhe tilted her head up, looking angrily at Jiang Nian.

"Alright then." Jiang Nian fiddled with her tail, which drooped behind her, "You go ahead and eat."

"Okay, why didn't Yunyun come?" Wang Yuhe asked Jiang Nian while unpacking the thermal box.

"It's really late, where would she sleep if she came?"

"She could sleep with me!"

"Then you should ask her, I don't know," Jiang Nian said, "Besides, she already brushed her teeth, she won't eat barbecue."

"Oh." Wang Yuhe, with her mouth greasy, squatted down somewhere, "It's still warm?"

"Of course." Jiang Nian squatted down beside her, "Lin Dong paid for it, but this portion is especially for you."

"The team leader is quite well-off," Wang Yuhe remarked, then continued devouring her skewers.

"Yes, he really is..." Jiang Nian replied absentmindedly, flipping through his phone, thinking about the plans for tomorrow.

Do some test papers, then rest.

Once the holiday is over, only eight days remain on the countdown. It probably won't be classes, just tips and tricks.

Most of the time should be spent revising on your own.

Along with some pre-exam preparations, finish the last week. Enter the exam room on Friday, until Saturday afternoon.

After graduation, I might not be able to return to school again.

As he was thinking about it, Wang Yuhe suddenly spoke up, "After the college entrance exam, are you guys going to start dating?"

Upon hearing that, Jiang Nian was stunned for a few seconds.

"Who?"

After responding, he looked back to confirm that it was indeed a little elementary schooler who said it.

Unbelievable.

"You and Yunyun." Wang Yuhe said, "Chai Muying told me, she said you two..."

"Oh~" Upon hearing Chai Muying's name, he suddenly relaxed, even feeling a bit amused.

"Really?" Wang Yuhe widened her eyes.

"Why are you asking this?" Jiang Nian didn't answer directly, instead asking, "Why are you asking this?"

"I..." Wang Yuhe said dejectedly, "If Yunyun starts dating you, then what am I supposed to do?"

"When you guys go out, I'll be left playing alone."

Too lazy to explain, Jiang Nian grinned instead.

"Well, in that case, Chen Yunyun is not likely to want you anymore. You better get used to a lonely life early."

"You!!!" Wang Yuhe felt utterly powerless this time.

Powerless little elementary schooler.

After kidding around, Jiang Nian, worried about affecting the elementary schooler's grades, added with a thought.

"There's nothing definite about it, don't listen to Chai Muying's nonsense."

"Really?" Wang Yuhe put down her skewer, "But even if you guys start dating, it's okay."

"Just, can you take me along? I can wait while you guys date."

Jiang Nian: "???"

What kind of third-person perspective was that, so pathetic.

Forget it.

"You're worrying too soon, whether there will be dating or not," he said, "After the college entrance exam, who knows where I might be."

"Oh, then I'll go play with Yunyun!" Wang Yuhe cheered up again, "You can come too."

Oh wow, she's really adaptable, huh?

"We'll see, things are out of my control." Jiang Nian said vaguely, "Hurry up and eat, I'll be heading back soon."

Hearing this, Wang Yuhe suddenly realized.

"You drove here from the county?"

"Flew here."

"Oh oh." Wang Yuhe fell silent, focusing on eating her skewers, "Isn't it far?"

"Yes, remember to cover the delivery fee."

"How much is it?"

"A few million, pretty expensive." He responded flippantly, watching her finish eating and cleaning up the trash.

Regrettably, it was in the town, otherwise he would have just thrown it away.

Jiang Nian carried a bag of trash, found a red bin in front of a shop, and seeing that no one was watching, shoved it in.

Having done this, he returned to the car.

"Why haven't you gone up yet?"

That night, he watched three people go back upstairs. His trip wasn't in vain; it was indeed a fulfilling endeavor.
