When Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo start their first year at Wuhan University, they expect the usual challenges of student life-new friends, cramped dorms, and late-night study sessions. But their dormitory holds a dark secret, one that Yibo can't ignore...
On a hot summer morning, Xiao Zhan boarded a train to Wuhan. He was on his way to Wuhan University, one of the most beautiful universities in China. The journey from Chongqing to Wuhan took about three hours. After getting off at Hankou Station, he headed straight to the university. His parents had wanted to come with him, but he didn't want to disturb their work.

As a bachelor student, he was assigned to a four-bed room. When he entered, he met two of his roommates, Bai Shu and Zhou Yixuan. Their other roommate hadn't checked in yet.
"So, what's your major?" Zhan asked. "I'm doing Art and Design."
"I'm in Business Management," Bai Shu said.
"I'm studying Computer Science," Zhou Yixuan added. "Where are you guys from? I'm from Shaoxing."
"I'm from Chongqing," Zhan replied.
"Wow, a Sichuan pepper, huh?" Bai Shu joked. "I'm from Beijing."
"Oh, a Beijing boy. What are you doing out here in the outskirts?" Yixuan teased.
