One month after school started, Cao Junwei finally couldn't stand the loneliness of separation and made appointments with his girlfriend at a hotel.

I had an essay to write for one of my elective courses and had to stay in the library all day, I could only go back once it was dark.

Fortunately, my paper was coming along well. Today, I had just finished my first draft and hurriedly shut down the computer.

It was roughly 7:20 in the evening when I left the library.

There was a bit of snow falling from the sky, the street lamps painted them gold, making the atmosphere look dreamy and romantic.

I was the only one walking down the street. I had forgotten to bring a scarf and the cold wind directly assaulted my neck and face. I just wanted to hurry back into the dorm, have a cup of tea, and take a hot shower while at it.

Pushing the dorm door open carelessly, the scene that greeted me inside made me freeze.

I saw Chen Ling kneeling on the ground, swallowing Gu Mingzhang's sexual organ with an infatuated expression on his face.

They obviously didn't expect that I would come back so early. When Chen Ling saw me, he jumped like a frightened rabbit, his face was red and he had a startled expression on his face.

Gu Mingzhang was much calmer. He put his pants on slowly and went to stand in front of Chen Ling protectively, looking at me quietly.

At this point, I had recovered from the shock and walked towards my desk, I said to them:

"I won't tell on you, but remember to close the door next time."

When I said this, I thought that I sounded quite cool, like a well-informed and open-minded person.

Gu Mingzhang nodded and didn't explain much, he just said thank you for understanding.

I knew a part of their hardship. My relationship with Chen Ling was a bit more open so I told Gu Mingzhang who was hiding a Chen Ling trembling with fright behind him: "You must be more careful, Chen Ling's thin-skinned¹."

Gu Mingzhang turned away to apologize to Chen Ling, patting his back in comfort: "Don't be afraid, Duan He won't tell other people."

Chen Ling looked at me and apologized while blushing.

I thought that he looked like he was about to cry. I laughed, pretending it was alright.

Chen Ling whispered: "Duan He, Gu Mingzhang and I, we're in love..."

He stammered and blushed deeper.

Gu Mingzhang heard him say 'love' and the corners of his mouth raised, his eyes were full of pride and tenderness.

I thought to myself that I had already been an embarrassing third party long enough, I had to let them have some alone time. I said that I had come back to pick up a book that I needed to return to the library.

I picked up a random book casually and walked out. When I closed the door, I heard Gu Mingzhang quietly appeasing a terrified Chen Ling.

"It's all right, it's fine for others to know, we're not hurting anyone..."

I didn't know why. When I heard this, I felt scared.

It was still cold outside and the snow was piling up more and more.

I had forgotten to wear a scarf again, and the cold wind and snow attacked my neck and chest.

It was so cold, but also so beautiful.

I looked up at the snow shining under the glow of the street lamps and unconsciously walked half the campus.

By the time I got to my senses, I had already reached the laboratory building of the Chemistry Department.

Gu Yan was inside...

I sat down on one of the benches in front of it, watching the footprints imprinted on the snow in a trance.

After sitting for a long time, I heard someone calling my name. It was a low voice that I was deeply familiar with.

I turned back stiffly and saw Gu Yan quickly walking towards me.

When he reached me, I stared at him and said, "Gu Yan, I'm so cold."

His soft sigh was carried away by the wind as he took off his scarf and wrapped it around me.

The texture of high-quality cashmere was soft and warm, with traces of Gu Yan's body temperature.

I buried my face in it, inhaling his smell. Gu Yan hadn't changed his shower gel, it was still the orange blossom fragrance that I liked.
