Winter came early in this country. In November, the sky was already filled with fluffy snowflakes.
Jennie walked into the apartment, holding an umbrella and wrapped in a thick scarf. As she entered, she met Zhou Yanshi.
"Morning, finished with classes?" Zhou Yanshi stepped out of the elevator and saw Jennie.
He stopped to ask.
Jennie nodded. "Yes, just finished. Going home to rest for a bit. There's a concert in the afternoon."
Last year, only three students from Haiyin came to K University for exchange, and Zhou Yanshi was one of them. Coincidentally, he rented an apartment in the same building as Jennie.
At first, Jennie kept her distance from him, but after some time, she realized that Zhou Yanshi treated her no differently than any other classmate.
So, she began to see him as a friend and would chat with him whenever they met. The marble tiles in the apartment were so shiny that they reflected the light, making it almost painful to look at.
"So, how's your group project going?" asked Zhou Yanshi.
Although one played the piano and the other played the violin, they had several classes together this semester.
One of those classes didn't have a final exam, but instead required a group project.
The members were assigned randomly, and Jennie was unlucky enough to be grouped with several foreign students she didn't know at all.
She seemed a bit anxious and spoke faster than usual. "I think it's almost done. At least my part is finished."
Zhou Yanshi said seriously, "It's due next Monday. Let me know if you need any help."
"Okay, thank you," Jennie nodded.
Zhou Yanshi smiled gently and said, "Well, I'll be going now."
He was born with a refined and handsome appearance, and when he smiled, his lips would slightly curl up, making people feel as if they were basking in a warm spring breeze.
Upon returning home, Jennie threw her bag onto the sofa without even bothering to take off her scarf, and rushed to her computer to press the video call button.
The ringing tone echoed through the empty apartment, but before two seconds had passed, it abruptly stopped.
The screen darkened, and the next second, Lisa's cold face appeared.
"Nini." He called out softly, and a warm expression flowed through his cold eyes and brows.
As Jennie untied his scarf, he said, "Sorry, Lili, I just finished class and made you wait for so long. It must be late at night where you are."
"It's okay." Lisa smiled tolerantly. "It's only a little past one, and I'm still working today."
Since graduating last year, Lisa has been working at that company. However, there has been some turmoil within the company recently, with several senior core members leaving.
He was one of them, but after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to stay and weather the storm with the company.
Now that the company has recovered, he has been continuously promoted and his annual salary has increased to seven figures.
But it's still not enough.
The night in the coastal city is very quiet and cold. The howling cold wind seeps through the window.
The bedroom is not heated, making the deep winter night more suitable for him to think and work.
The man's black eyes are deep and bottomless, silently watching the girl in the video.
