Life seemed to go on like usual after Shang Hao's passing.
In the first few days, discussion about him could be heard in every corner of the campus ground and cafeteria during lunchtime. But after one or two months, he was gradually reduced into 'the guy who fell to his death'. The young man was akin to a droplet of water merging into the sea, leaving only a faint noiseless ripple before vanishing without a trace.
The most indelible mark left by Shang Hao – aside from the emotional wounds on his loved ones – was probably his dorm room, which had remained vacant ever since.
Gu Luoxin felt this the most vividly. Somehow, the news that he was the last person who had seen Shang Hao before his death had spread without him noticing, causing him to receive various comforting and sympathetic words from both his classmates and professors alike. But soon, the busy schedule led everyone to toss this matter to the back of their minds.
