"Did you tell him about your family situation?" Shen Qinglan suddenly asked.

Fang Tong’s father was a prominent official in Lin City, and it was highly likely that he would be transferred back to Beijing next year. However, Fang Tong was low-key, aside from her and Yu Xiaoxuan, no one in the class knew about her family situation, including Ding Minghui.

Upon hearing this, Fang Tong paused, "Not yet. Maybe I’ll find a chance to tell him another day?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "Just wait for now. It’s not too late to tell him after you graduate."

Fang Tong thought for a moment, "That’s true, there’s no rush. But do you think he will be angry when he finds out, seeing as I’ve kept it from him for so long?"

Initially, Ding Minghui only knew that Fang Tong’s family was from Beijing and that they were well-off, but he didn’t know what her family actually did.

At first, Fang Tong had deliberately kept it a secret, but later on, she didn’t even know how to bring it up.

"You’re not the only one keeping it from him, he should understand," Shen Qinglan said gently.

Shen Qinglan’s words always carried a calming strength; even a simple statement like this eased the slight anxiety that had just risen in Fang Tong’s heart.

After Shen Qinglan had arranged everything, the two went out to eat because Fang Tong had insisted on treating her. They didn’t hold back and chose a nearby restaurant where they ordered a few dishes.

After dinner, instead of going straight back to the dormitory, they decided to stroll around the campus, a suggestion by Fang Tong.

"As graduation is approaching, I suddenly find it hard to leave," Fang Tong said melancholically, lying on the grass at Lover’s Slope.

It was already autumn, the grass at Lover’s Slope had yellowed, and the weather had turned cooler, so there weren’t many people around.

"Only half a year left."

Fang Tong smiled, "Half a year will pass quickly. I can clearly remember our freshman year as if it was yesterday, and now we’re seniors. Just thinking about graduating and separating from you all makes me really sad."

"I and Xiao Xuan are both in Beijing, and so are you. After graduation, it’s just that we won’t live together. If we want to meet, a phone call is all it takes," Shen Qinglan spoke clearly, stating a fact.

Fang Tong was startled, then burst into laughter, "Haha, that’s true, how could I forget. Qinglan, even though you are the same age as us, Xiao Xuan and I often feel like you’re an older sister, even though you’re actually younger than us by months."

Shen Qinglan was momentarily stunned and then smiled faintly.

"Qinglan, what do you want to do after graduation?" Fang Tong asked after a moment of silence.

Looking at the few stars in the night sky, Shen Qinglan replied, "I haven’t decided yet. Maybe I’ll open a coffee shop, or a tea bar."

"After I graduate, I want to apply to Junlan Group again. Even though I know the chances are slim, I still want to work in the same company as Ding Minghui."

Shen Qinglan turned her head to look at Fang Tong’s profile, seeing the happy smile on her face. Suddenly, Fu Hengyi’s resolute profile flashed through her mind, her eyes twinkling briefly, "You’ll get your wish."

After spending a short time at Lover’s Slope, they headed back but ran into Yan Shengyu along the way; more precisely, Yan Shengyu was waiting for Shen Qinglan.

"Shen," Yan Shengyu greeted her as they approached.

Shen Qinglan didn’t react much, but Fang Tong greeted him with a smile, "Senior Brother Yan."

Yan Shengyu nodded with a smile, "Hello." Looking at Shen Qinglan, he continued, "Shen, I sincerely invited you to my birthday party, and I also want to apologize for last time."

Birthday party? Fang Tong’s puzzled gaze wandered between them.

Shen Qinglan responded, "You’ve already apologized, now you can leave. And in the future, you need not appear in front of me again."

Saying this, she went straight into the dormitory building. Just as Fang Tong was about to follow, someone grabbed her wrist; turning around, she saw it was Yan Shengyu.

"Senior Brother Yan, is there something else?"

Yan Shengyu let go of Fang Tong’s arm, looking somewhat embarrassed, "Sorry, are you Shen’s roommate?"

"Yes."

His eyes lit up, "The thing is, Shen has some misunderstanding about me. I want to clear things up, but she won’t give me the chance. Could you help me?"

Fang Tong sized up Yan Shengyu, and suddenly found the university’s heartthrob a bit annoying. She replied coolly, "Senior Brother Yan, if you’re talking about the incident on the school forum, there’s no need to explain. Qinglan wouldn’t care about such things, and it’s already in the past. Everyone treats it as a joke now. Why are you taking it so seriously? It makes it look as if Qinglan keeps pestering you.

As for this birthday party you mentioned, since Qinglan doesn’t want to attend, don’t force her. Your insistence really isn’t becoming of a gentleman."

Yan Shengyu was a bit embarrassed by her words; he truly had only meant to invite Shen Qinglan to his birthday party with no ill intentions.

"Senior Brother Yan, is there anything else?" Fang Tong asked.

Yan Shengyu gave an awkward smile and stepped aside.

"Qinglan, is that Yan Shengyu pursuing you?" Once inside the dormitory, Fang Tong couldn’t help asking. The more she thought about their encounter on the way back, the more she felt something was off. If Yan Shengyu had no interest in Shen Qinglan, why would he keep persisting?

Shen Qinglan responded indifferently, "You’re mistaken."

"How could I be? If he wasn’t interested in pursuing you, why would he keep inviting you to his birthday parties when you weren’t even close before?"

"We still aren’t close."

"Yan Shengyu is just a troublemaker. It’s better to stay away from him," Shen Qinglan said flatly.

Fang Tong nodded in agreement; she had heard the whole story from Shen Qinglan afterward. It was just a few words, yet people made such a fuss about it. If she were really with Yan Shengyu, the saliva of all the girls in school could drown Shen Qinglan. Yan Shengyu, being so popular, was better off left to the public.

"Still, my Ding Minghui is better; handsome and talented, and most importantly, without all the messy drama," Fang Tong remarked.

Three sentences without leaving Ding Minghui behind, Shen Qinglan was already immune to Fang Tong’s fangirl antics. Covering herself with her blanket, she closed her eyes, ready to sleep.

Just then, her phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, Shen Qinglan pushed herself off the bed and went to the balcony to answer the call, leaving Fang Tong curiously watching her retreating figure.

With her curiosity piqued, Fang Tong took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Yu Xiaoxuan.
