Zhou Yanlin returned to school and made a call to his mother.
He told her that he had won the championship.
Bai Lan seemed to have expected the result and congratulated Zhou Yanlin with a laugh.
After hanging up the phone, the image of Shu Joy from earlier that day appeared in his mind, ethereal like a little fairy.
He smiled faintly, feeling a strange emotion fermenting in his heart.
He returned to his dormitory, where his roommates had already prepared food to celebrate for him.
Zhou Yanlin joined everyone in eating and drinking.
Over the weekend, Bai Lan called, asking if she should come pick him up to go back home, but Zhou Yanlin declined because the midterm exams were approaching soon, so he needed to stay at school to revise.
None of the other dormitory students went back home either.
Days passed, and Zhou Yanlin's academic workload grew even more intense.
The midterm exams were getting closer and closer.
