Since the day she agreed, An Shiyu seemed to vanish without a trace. Over a month passed without any news from her, and even when Ye Shuang sent messages, there was no response.
The girl's appearance felt like a dream, dissipating with the summer breeze, disappearing silently without a sound.
The sky remained just as clear, yet the faint sunlight seemed unable to pierce through the gloom in his heart.
Life had to go on.
And just like that, the summer vacation ended quietly.
Bai Yuyou and Tang Keke, now fourth-year students at Yinshan Academy, both chose to major in Business Administration. Initially, Bai Yuyou had wanted to pursue a music-related major—though her grades were excellent, Yinshan Academy's music programs had strict requirements for instrument proficiency and music theory. So, the girl decided to accompany Tang Keke in studying Business Administration for the time being.
Today was the first day of the new semester.
September in Haizhu City was still scorching hot, with no signs of autumn in sight. In this city, there was essentially only one season.
Summer, and occasionally a summer where you had to wear long sleeves.
If no cold fronts came down from the north, Haizhu City residents could practically wear shorts and T-shirts all year round.
"Starting today, you're officially university students. Aside from your fellow Yinshan Academy graduates, there will also be many who got in through the college entrance exams," Ye Shuang said, reminding the two girls standing before him.
"Don’t put too much pressure on yourselves. Just enjoy the next four years of student life."
"Join study groups, make friends at social events—whatever you like."
The two long-haired girls smiled in response. Bai Yuyou’s complexion had regained its fairness after a month of recovery, while Tang Keke looked much the same, her appearance inexplicably giving off a Hawaiian vibe.
Well, everyone’s body reacts differently.
"Hmm, the academy is great in every way, except that even fourth-years have to wear uniforms…" Ye Shuang adjusted the badge on Bai Yuyou’s chest, marking her as a fourth-year student. The uniform, paired with a pleated skirt, was at least decent—designed by the old man An Shi, it balanced gentlemanly aesthetics with some eye-catching flair.
"Alright, big bro, we’re off!"
"We’re leaving."
"Mm." Ye Shuang stood at the doorway. Just before Bai Yuyou left, she seemed to want a hug for an energy boost—but at the last second, she stopped herself, instead grabbing Tang Keke’s hand and walking away.
Ye Shuang: "?"
Though he didn’t understand what Bai Yuyou’s arm motion meant, he simply smiled and watched the two girls go.
As the elevator doors closed, their voices faintly drifted over.
"Yuyou, what about your daily Ye Shuang energy recharge?"
"No…" The rest was cut off as the elevator shut.
Ye Shuang lingered at the door for a moment, only closing it after hearing the plump cat, Fat Wan, meowing at his feet.
"Ha, time to update the novel." Ye Shuang settled into his daily writing routine. Lately, he’d noticed an anime YouTuber called "Roundtable Anime" had created a chibi-style animation based on his story. Watching his own plot unfold with live comments was surprisingly fun.
Just not spicy enough (not that he’d admit it).
"Better keep updating." Ye Shuang tapped away at the keyboard, but when he reached a part involving An Shiyu, he paused, resting his chin on his hand as his gaze drifted to his phone.
Had something really happened to her?
Or would she kick the door open one day when he least expected it, greeting him with a casual "Yo"?
"She’s such an unpredictable person—not that I dislike that about her." Shaking his head, he finished the remaining words and uploaded the chapter.
A glance at his recent earnings made him wince.
If only some kind readers would toss in a few free gifts…

After updating, Ye Shuang drove to Yinshan Academy.
Through the car window, he saw the bustling entrance—local students mingled with out-of-towners escorted by parents. Vendors lined the sidewalks, selling daily necessities for dorm life.
"So many people." He wondered if he should continue working as the school doctor.
Bai Yuyou was more independent now, and with her moving up alongside Tang Keke, she wouldn’t be stuck with the same problematic classmates. Her campus life should go smoothly.
Still, he didn’t dislike the job. In fact, he quite enjoyed the leisurely pace.
"Guess I’ll stick with it a while longer." Parking in his usual spot, he noticed the empty space beside his car—no familiar "Spicy Fish Head" vehicle in sight. After a brief pause, he locked the car and headed upstairs.
Click.
The key turned, and the familiar scent of disinfectant greeted him as he opened the door to the third infirmary.
Nothing had changed. It was just a summer break, after all—no earth-shattering transformations here.
His usual chair sat beside the recliner, untouched.
The room was dim. After setting his things down, he walked to the window and pulled open the curtains. Sunlight poured in with a swish.
Tweet!
A few small birds hopped onto the windowsill, chirping excitedly.
"Ah… almost forgot about you guys." Ye Shuang rummaged through his pockets and found a packet of mini bread rolls for the pigeons he occasionally fed.
"This is all I’ve got."
He tore the bread into tiny crumbs.
Coo.
Coo-coo-coo—
Just as he watched the birds peck away, a loud bang came from behind. Startled, he turned to see a short-haired girl frozen mid-kick, her leg still raised.
"Yo."
The pigeons flapped away in alarm. Ye Shuang: "…"
After a few seconds of stunned silence, he sighed. "Could you not break the door?"
"Just fix it if it’s broken," An Shiyu said casually, plopping onto the recliner.
Ye Shuang pocketed the remaining bread and returned to his seat, slipping on his white coat.
His gaze drifted to An Shiyu, who was already booting up the computer—same as always, gaming the moment she stepped into the infirmary, skipping the opening ceremony without a second thought.
He watched her quietly until the screen lit up, then finally asked,
"Where is she?"
An Shiyu paused, turning her head slightly.
"Who?"
