After a night of indecision, Lisa finally found out what Zhou Ran had said to Jennie.

The young man's face showed obvious discomfort, but he only let out a soft hum.

Jennie was so happy that she almost bent over laughing.

"What are you humming for? I told him that I had a date with my boyfriend."

Lisa pursed his lips, his face calm, but the slight curve of his mouth betrayed his inner joy. "Mm," he said lightly. "Let's go home."

The autumn chill was in the air, and a few days after they returned from the amusement park, it was already Mid-Autumn Festival.

The dark room was only lit by a warm yellow light. Lisa furrowed his brows, his fingers typing rapidly on the keyboard.

The phone on the table vibrated, and he looked up. The coldness between his eyebrows gradually dissipated.

"Do you want to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival together? My parents are traveling," Jennie asked Lisa.

In the next second, Lisa immediately replied, "Sure."

After a few minutes, Jennie sent a voice message, and the eager young man opened it right away.

"How about we go to your house? I haven't been there before," said the girl's once clear voice, now slightly hoarse, but it still managed to tickle the boy's heart.

"Come to my house..." His ears turned red in an instant, and his fingertips stiffened.

But in less than half a second, his racing heart slowly calmed down, and he silently looked around.

The room was cold and the autumn wind howled, making the windows creak.

There were simple square walls, a table, a wooden bed, and a small wardrobe. This is the house he shared with others during the summer, and when school started, he continued to rent it so as not to disturb his roommates while working on coding projects and staying up late.

The white walls were dotted with gray marks that were there before he moved in. Sometimes, when he accidentally touched them, pieces of the wall would fall off.

Sighing, Lisa opened Alipay to check his balance.

With the payment for his just-completed project settled, he immediately went to buy a smartphone so he could message Jennie.

The remaining money should be enough to rent a more decent place.

It must be said that at Haishi University, whether it was his roommates or senior classmates, everyone was friendly.

Lisa was the top scorer in the entire department and was appreciated by his professors. His senior classmates, seeing that he was struggling financially, also introduced him to many freelance jobs.

Last night's rain had left a dampness in the air. But at some point, the clouds were quietly blown away by a gentle breeze, and warm sunlight poured down on the earth.

The weather was perfect on this day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The autumn light was no longer harsh, but instead fell gently, warming people's hearts.

Lisa sat in front of his laptop, but the screen was blank and he hadn't written a single word for a long time.

"Ding dong, ding dong." The doorbell rang.

He jumped up from his chair and rushed to the door.

The crisp autumn breeze blew into the room.

A girl stood at the door, looking graceful and elegant in her smoke-pink dress and loose knit jacket. Her long wavy hair was flowing down, and her bright peach blossom eyes were filled with a gentle smile, making her look lazy and charming.
