After returning from Pingcheng, Jennie noticed that her "Old-Fashioned" had become more proactive.
The shy young man began to clumsily express his love, sometimes with a silent kiss, sometimes with blushing words of affection.
Winter turned to spring, and a new semester came and went. Before they knew it, they were already in their third year of college.
Lisa had moved to a new house.
It was a large house, conveniently located near both of their schools. Jennie often brought Kuma to visit, but despite his efforts to change, her "Old-Fashioned" still had a reserved nature.
The full moon hung high in the sky, casting shadows of trees in the distance. The summer night breeze carried a refreshing coolness, relieving the heat from their bodies.
"I'll walk you back to school," Lisa said, grabbing his keys. Suddenly, he remembered something and went back into the room to fiddle with something. When he came back out, he was holding a beautifully wrapped bag.
He handed it to Jennie, "Here."
"What is this?" Jennie looked a bit stunned as she took it and opened it up to find a valuable skincare product.
It was the brand she often used, and a whole set would cost over ten thousand yuan.
The young man lowered his gaze, his eyelashes trembling as he said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's a gift for you."
He didn't know if she would like it or not.
Jennie pursed her lips. The packaging was clearly bought at the counter and was several thousand yuan more expensive than buying it through a purchasing agent.
When she was a freshman, several senior students from the computer department at Haishi University started a business together and recruited Lisa because of his talent.
This company had connections and was full of top students from prestigious schools.
Shortly after its establishment, it received several major projects and began to make a name for itself in the industry.
The box in her hand was heavy, like a big stone pressing on Jennie's heart. She blinked, feeling her eyes start to sting.
No one understood how hard Lisa worked better than her. He often stayed up until the early hours of the morning, sometimes going a whole month without getting enough sleep. One day, while they were eating, she noticed his hand shaking as he held his chopsticks, and even his glasses prescription kept increasing.
Every penny he earned was hard-earned with his blood and sweat.
Next to their apartment was a phoenix tree, and in the summer, cicadas chirped incessantly.
Jennie sniffled, trying to hide her bitterness, and said with a smile, "Then I'll accept it."
The boy's face relaxed when he saw her accept the gift.
"I'll carry it for you," he said, taking the heavy bag with one hand and naturally holding the girl's hand with the other.
Haiyin's dormitory was close by, only a ten-minute walk away. The campus was quiet on this summer night. The two of them held hands and chatted for a while before arriving at their destination.
"Goodnight kiss." The girl looked up, her bright eyes sparkling with stars.
The trees cast shadows next to the dormitory, and the boy's dark eyes were hidden in the night, revealing a strong desire. His Adam's apple rolled as he leaned down and gently kissed her.
