"Y/n, so much has been happening here and you're just missing all of it! You remember Miss Jingliu, right? She left after she became mara-stricken and caused all of Xianzhou High to go into lockdown. I think it was..." Sushang started to ramble with a bright look on her face that was clear as day through the jade abacus, but you cut her off abruptly with a small laugh, "Yes, of course, I remember! That was our freshman year and it was wild, to say the least. Why do you bring it up though?" You smiled back at her, her cheerfulness radiating through the transmission despite how far apart we were. "Well, she came back! But she seems really different now... In a not-so-good way, y'know? Also, she's been giving Yanqing a really hard time this year! It's so bad that Jing Yuan had to step in and defend him, so naturally I was right there with them too! She's still super scary, but at least she started to be less harsh on him." The girl went on to explain all that was taking place at my old school while I sat back in my dorm room and laughed along to the crazy story.

"Y/n... Have you talked to Yanqing? He says he really misses you. He hasn't stopped talking about you since you left!" Her tone grew a little more somber but she still offered a sweet smile as she spoke. You let out a soft sigh and shook my head regretfully, "I feel... nervous? If that's the word I'm even looking for. I'm scared to talk to him after what happened last year... Didn't you see the way he looked at me? I've never seen so much... anger in his eyes. Su, I don't know if I'm ready yet..." You confessed woefully as you rubbed your arm and rested your jade abacus against some books on your desk before taking out your phone. "I understand Y/n. Talk to him when you're ready, okay? Just because you left last year, doesn't mean we stopped loving you! I hope you still remember that." Sushang gleamed with that adorably hopeful look on her face. You returned the smile, "Of course, I remember that too. You remind me every day with all your texts and calls."

There was a soft knock on the door to your cabin and you sat up in your desk chair with a furrowed brow. "Oh no, you have to go?" Sushang whined softly and you shook your head in response, "Unfortunately... I'll text you before your classes start tomorrow, okay? Love you lots, Su. Goodnight." You waved to the girl with a sad smile on her face and she returned the gesture, "Love you more than... something that lasts an... eternity? Argh, I'm still working on my analogies! Night Y/n!" She laughed softly before hanging up just as the door to my room opened. "Y/n? Are you always up this early? We don't have classes for another couple of hours." March 7th barged into your cabin with a raised eyebrow and her hands on her hips the way she always had them. You stood up from the desk and gave a small shrug, "Just getting ready for the day. Where's Stelle and Caelus?" You pocketed your phone and tucked your jade abacus away in a safe place before heading towards March 7th.

You both left your room and made your way down the hall to where the dining hall and parlor car were, discussing the usual things that happened from time to time. "Stelle is still knocked out and Caelus is... well, he might be off with..." For some reason, the rest of her sentence didn't register in your head. She said someone's name, but your mind completely blocked it out. You barely caught onto the small anomaly that took place in your head and whipped it in her direction, "Wait March, Caelus is with who?" You inquired again with a confused look on your face. She shot you a weird look in return and shook her head, "What's going on up there? Caught a case of space head? I said Caelus is probably with Dan Heng!" She rolled her eyes but still offered a small smile.
