Sparse plum blossoms reflect the clear shadow of people arriving

  Jian Tong didn't know how she had finished signing her name. She only remembered that when she signed Lan Quan's name again and still got no response, there was no anger in her heart.

  I'm numb.

  Holding the attendance sheet, I walked towards the department office. From the large staircase classroom to the department office, you have to go through a long corridor. The teaching building became quiet, and only the sound of teachers lecturing came from each classroom.

  Jian Tong held the attendance sheet and stopped at the window, gazing out at the winter jasmine flowers that had already begun to bud.

  Jian Tong loves the winter jasmine, small flowers that can bloom into large patches of bright yellow. In Jian Tong's mind, spring also starts from the day the winter jasmine blooms. When the winter jasmine blooms, cherry blossoms and magnolias will soon follow, and this city will thoroughly shake off the bleakness of winter and enter a colorful season.

  But will her heart still be frozen in the bleak winter this year?

  There were footsteps behind him.

  In the quiet and empty teaching building, it seems that any footsteps would be amplified. But Jian Tong suddenly felt that his heart was tightened for no reason.

  Holding the attendance sheet tightly in her hand, Jian Tong walked towards the department office without looking back.

  "Little Tung."

  That cry was not loud, but like an iron nail, it suddenly struck into Jian Tong's heart.

  Jian Tong stopped in her tracks. The footsteps behind her came closer with determination and walked around to her front.

  The spring sunlight filtering through the window outside, where the peach blossoms were in bloom, shone down on him. As always, she had to lift her head high to see his face clearly. She gazed at his countenance radiant with a gentle glow, and his thin lips curved into a subtle smile.

  Jian Tong's heart was still racing uncontrollably.

  She didn't understand either, Mei Xuan had a cold and proud temperament, but he showed a elegant and refined appearance. It's as if his name was apt, Qing Yi Yun Xiou, with a subtle and faint scent of elegance; although he was cold and proud, it somehow attracted people to want to get closer to him.

  Jian Tong took a deep breath and tried to calm down as he greeted, "Hey, Mei Xuan, long time no see. Here to send Miao Yi to class?"

  Once loved, even if the two are not destined to be together, there's no need to become enemies, is there? No one has an obligation to love you for a lifetime, and when love is gone, don't force it.

  "I came to G University, and it has nothing to do with Miao Yi." Mei Xuan looked down from a high place, narrowing his eyes. The gaze with the cold fragrance fell directly on Jian Tong's face, "You graduated in your fourth year, and Miao Yi also graduated in her fourth year. If I came to G University just for Miao Yi, then three years ago it should have already started, why wait until today?"

  Jian Tong's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily lowered his head, "Sorry, I just finished taking roll call, I need to report the students' attendance to the department office. I'll leave first."

  Almost fled in disarray.

  "Why didn't you answer my call?" he asked from behind her. His voice was low, but carried an unyielding chill.

  Jian Tong hesitated and stopped in his tracks, hugging the attendance book tightly in his hands. "My phone is broken. I'll buy a new one next month after I get my salary."

  "Mei Xuan." Mei Xuan wanted to say something, but Miao Yi walked slowly over from the end of the corridor, "Jiang Auntie said we should go to the office and wait for her, she'll come over after her meeting is finished."

  Jian Tong hesitated for a moment, but didn't stop to greet him. He clutched the attendance sheet tightly and hastily moved forward.

  Sorry, she can't face her love rival and remains calm and smiling.
