The sunset in May filtered through the window glass, laying across the desk of dormitory 403.
The withered daisies in the vase lay in the patch of light the color of honey, yet devoid of any vitality. A light breeze from outside rustled the delicate branches, causing the sunlight in the room to flicker ever so slightly, like a swarm of succulent and juicy fireflies.
Fatty Cat Tuan Tuan's gaze chased the dancing spots of light on the desk, its claws extending and retracting from its paws, eager to pounce.
Xin Fat Man watched the cat on his belly with concern, internally struggling between protecting his robe and being scratched by the cat.
Other people in the dormitory were also fixated on their own trivial matters, appearing incredibly focused—ever since Zheng Qing mentioned Lin Guo's Black Mountain Goat, the atmosphere in the dorm had cooled once again—making the young scholarship student suspect he was under some kind of "killjoy" curse.
