"What," Wu Mingze's eyebrows twitched.
"Just kidding," Senior Zixin just smiled, as it was difficult for Wu Mingze to determine whether he was joking or serious. "Well then, I'm off." Senior Zixin said, leaving Wu Mingze there with uncertainty.

Two days passed, and Xiaodan's bracelet was finally repaired, and she could return.
"Alright now, be careful not to damage your bracelet again," Senior Zixin said, handing her bracelet back to her.
"Yes, I will," Xiaodan eagerly nodded her head. "Ah! Thank you, Senior Zixin, for updating me on my case. I truly appreciate it," Xiaodan said, remembering before leaving.
"No worries," Senior Zixin just smiled and waved goodbye. "Good luck...," he added.
Once Xiaodan was out of sight, a man in a white suit stopped beside Senior Zixin.
"How did it go? I heard you went down to check?" the man said.
Senior Zixin causally said, "It's not going as planned." Senior Zixin slightly shook his head.
The man in a white suit rubbed his chin, and his eyebrows frowned, "Has he already fallen?"
"It appears so," Senior Zixin answered.
The man sighed, "Well...I'll let Fate decide it."

Xiaodan entered the campus, and soon, her phone started vibrating and dinging. She was finally connected, and multiple notifications were exploding on her phone. She received many texts and calls from Li Chyou and a couple from Fu Xiang, but to her surprise, she received more texts from Wu Mingze than anyone else. He had texted her everyday, regarding the updates between Feng Yichen and Li Chyou. Some days, it would be a simple text or a sentence or two.
A smile appeared on her face as she scrolled along. Once she reached the recent messages, he began asking how she was and when she would be coming back. She raised her eyebrows. She felt slightly amused by his action. She thought how sweet and cute it was for him to be concerned about her. She soon realized she had made it back to the dorm without her even realizing it. She was too caught up, reading his texts.
"X-Xiaodan?" Fu Xiang said as she and Li Chyou were coming back to the dorm room, and they spotted Xiaodan standing by the door. "You're back!" Fu Xiang cheerfully said.
"Huh?" Xiaodan turned her head to notice them before breaking into a smile.
"Where have you been?" Li Chyou asked with great concern.
"Ah...well, stuff back at home took longer than expected," Xiaodan said, scratching the back of her head.
"Then why didn't you keep in contact with us?" Li Chyou asked.
"Well, I was so busy that I didn't get a chance to touch my phone, and I also had bad connection," Xiaodan said, spewing lies.
"You missed midterms, and breaks start tomorrow," Li Chyou said, worried.
"It's okay. I just have to ace the finals," Xiaodan said, being optimistic.
"But-," Li Chyou tried to say.
"Chyou, don't worry," Xiaodan assured them.
"Do you guys get dinner yet? If not, let's go," Xiaodan said, changing the subject.

It was kind of early for dinner, but they still went. On their way to get dinner, they happened to meet Zhu Haoran, who was going to get some snacks for himself.
"Oh," Zhu Haoran was surprised to see them. "Where are you guys going?" Zhu Haoran asked.
"We're getting dinner. You?" Fu Xiang said.
"I was heading to the convenience store to get some snacks," Zhu Haoran answered.
"Do you want to join us?" Li Chyou asked.
"Oh yes, I would!" Zhu Haoran instantly nodded his head. "Oh, you're back!" Zhu Haoran seemed to have finally noticed Xiaodan.
"Yeah," Xiaodan said with a smile.
"That's good. Everyone was getting worried about you," Zhu Haoran said. "Oh, let me text the other two if they want to get dinner with us," Zhu Haoran pulled out his phone and sent a text. "Is that alright with you guys?" Zhu Haoran asked, looking at them.
"Doesn't bother me. You guys?" Fu Xiang said, looking at Xiaodan and Li Chyou as they both shook their heads.
"Great! They already answered," Zhu Haoran said, looking at his phone. On his phone, in the group chat, two bubble texts showed.
Wu Mingze texted, "Alright, be right there."
Feng Yichen texted, "Coming."
