Three years of school, with a year and a half left until graduation, everyone has settled into a fixed mode of interaction, especially the agreement set between Ye Ling and Xiang Weilai. Although their interaction with everyone is no different on the surface, those who know about it still feel a bit awkward.
Take Zhao Guodong for example. Although he has accepted it, ever since that day, whenever he sees Xiang Weilai, he gives him a fierce glare, as if Xiang Weilai owes him money. Everyone understands his temperament and doesn't say much about it; small friction occurs among a few people but nothing major.
After boarding the train, Ye Ling joked with a few others, "In the past, others envied the children from the compound for their gatherings, never mingling with those outside. Now I'm no longer from your compound, shamelessly joining you and squeezing into the sleeper berth. Next time, I'll buy my own ticket."
