Su Yue looked at the side of his face, pressed her lips together, and said nothing.

It was the holidays and everyone was leaving the school. There were many people carrying boxes around.

It had been snowing in the capital city, but there were still a few wilted leaves remaining on the tree branches, tenaciously clinging on, but eventually falling to the ground.

Su Yue and Jiao Chen walked side by side. From their back views, they looked like a pair.

Su Yue followed his pace. When she lifted her head, she realized that they had already reached the food street outside the East entrance.

The place where she had her first meal with Jiao Chen.

Although many students had already left, the street was still bustling with activity.

“I want to eat that.” Su Yue smiled and pointed at a place selling spicy hotpot.

Sticks were pierced through strings of food and cooked in a large pot of spicy soup.

Su Yue ran over, picked up a stick, and began eating. As she ate, she continued choosing other sticks of food and placing it on a plate that the stall owner passed to her.

Jiao Chen stood by her side, watching her. She was looking through the sticks of food in all seriousness to find the ones that she liked. A gentle smile unconsciously formed on his face.

“Boss, that’s all. I’ll have them on the go. How much do these cost?” Su Yue said, passing him the plate.

She then tried to reach her pocket and it suddenly hit her that she had forgotten to bring her wallet out.

“That would be 14 dollars,” the stall owner replied.

Jiao Chen spoke up from beside her. “Here.”

His slender fingers were holding a twenty-dollar note, and he passed it to the owner.

Su Yue took the bag of food from the owner, somewhat relieved. Immediately, she took another stick out and began eating.

After paying, they continued walking forward.

The street wasn’t long but from the start until the end, they still attracted the attention of the crowd.

But they were calm. They were used to it.

On their way back, Su Yue’s tummy was finally full. She held a cup of hot milk tea, drinking as she walked.

“Su Yue,” Jiao Chen suddenly called.

She lifted her head and looked at him in confusion. “Yes?”

They didn’t say a word the entire walk. She would eat whatever she liked and Jiao Chen would follow after her, settling the bill.

Jiao Chen didn’t take the initiative to strike a conversation.

So when he suddenly called out to her, she was confused. Did he have something to tell her?

Jiao Chen smiled. “Happy new year.”

Su Yue pressed her lips together and smiled. “It’s still too early for that.”

“I don’t know what I should say,” Jiao Chen admitted, looking downwards, a face of helplessness.

He really wanted to talk to her, to hear her voice, but he didn’t know what to say.

Su Yue’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at him and hesitated. “Then, you can wish me a happy new year.”

Actually, she didn’t know what to say either.

They knew each other so well, yet she felt like he was a stranger. Every time she saw him since they broke up, she wanted to talk to him, but she didn’t know what to say.

She felt that they shouldn’t be so distant.

Jiao Chen nodded. “Happy new year.”

He then lowered his head and looked at Su Yue’s small hand, which hung by her side. His fingers trembled in his pockets.

Even the longest roads had its ending.

Su Yue never imagined that during her next meeting with Jiao Chen, they would be so far apart…

She had finished her milk tea. Su Yue walked with her head bowed, out of habit.

Suddenly, a deep voice called out from in front of her. “Su Yue.”

Su Yue looked over to see an old man, with a head full of white hair, waiting by the dormitory entrance. He was staring at her. Confused, she slowed her pace and scanned him from head to toe.
