林薇抱着几本书，معتدلة الساعه مساءً، walked through the university campus. The setting sun cast long shadows on the asphalt, painting the leaves in a kaleidoscope of orange and gold. It was one of those perfect university evenings, the kind where you could almost hear the campus breathing.

She was on her way back to the dorm when she heard a familiar voice, though she couldn't see who was speaking. "Can you believe we're already halfway through the semester? Time flies when you're having fun," the voice said, laced with a hint of nostalgia.

Curious,林薇 turned the corner to find 何远 standing near the old oak tree, his arm casually thrown over the trunk. He had that signature smile, the kind that could light up even the gloomiest day. "Yeah, pretty soon we'll be stressing about midterms," he replied, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

林薇 felt a small flutter in her stomach as she approached. "Hey, you," she said, trying to sound casual but failing miserably.
