Section 1: Promises Beneath the Ivory Tower and Warmth in a Rented Room
Lin Zhe first met Su Wan in a corner of the university library. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows, casting dappled light across her profile as she read intently, and a quiet warmth seemed to float in the air. On an impulse, he walked over and borrowed the book she had just finished reading. Through various encounters, two young people from different majors found their fates bound together by an invisible thread.
Their romance, like that of countless college couples, was filled with a pure and simple beauty. They spent hours studying together in the library, raced through the cafeteria to grab the last portion of sweet and sour pork ribs, and walked laps around the playground after dinner, chatting about their dreams for the future. Su Wan loved an indie singer, and whenever she mentioned him, her eyes would sparkle. Lin Zhe quietly memorized the singer's name, saved up several months of living expenses, and handed her two hard-to-get concert tickets on her birthday. When Su Wan grabbed his hand in excitement amidst the deafening music and sang along, Lin Zhe felt that every bit of thriftiness had been entirely worth it.
