As the days passed, wearing just a light jacket in the mornings and evenings was no longer enough. The temperature drop was palpable, and Fu Ying started wearing her jacket all day long. Before much longer, she would probably need to switch to a down coat.
Meanwhile, Fu Ying was about to face her very first monthly exam.

Fu Ying's deskmate was a clear example of this anxiety, frantically reading and taking notes during breaks, yet constantly biting her nails as if she couldn't figure out what she should even be looking at.
