The bell rang, and the students eagerly packed up, rushing out of the classroom. In seconds, the hallways, stairwells, and bicycle parking spots were swarming with students.
Groups of students strolled along, joking and horsing around, full of energy. The entire campus brimmed with the essence of youth.
Gu Fan slipped on his headphones, hopped on his bike, weaved through the crowd, and left the campus, heading straight to the street stalls.
"Oh my gosh, the smell is so nostalgic. Boss, one bowl of stinky tofu, please." Gu Fan was the first to dart over to the stinky tofu stall after school. If he'd been a minute later, he would've had to stand in a long line.
The stall owner handed over a bowl of stinky tofu to Gu Fan, just as more students arrived. The growing crowd quickly turned into a bustling scene, and business was booming.
Gu Fan made room to park his bike nearby. Just as he was moving a few steps, he heard a girl shouting behind him, "Watch out! You're about to get hit!"
