Su Cen and Tang Wu, along with the other girls in their dormitory, engaged in a spirited conversation that made them stand out in the hazy afternoon cafeteria. Afterward, with special permission from the dorm mates, Su Cen invited Tang Wu to accompany him and another friend to the campus gym where Cheng Congcong had been attracting male members in droves. The chubby Sichuanese boss set a target for Cheng Congcong, requiring her to bring over "cool" women who would get half-price memberships.

The biggest regret Cheng Congcong had during her four years of university was failing to convince Tang Wu to join them.

Su Cen and Tang Wu walked out of the cafeteria hand in hand, with Tang Wu's face flushed. They strolled through the campus greenery all the way to a rarely visited tennis court where the nets had rusted from years of rainwater. The area was mostly deserted except for parked vehicles; tree branches blocked most of the light cast by street lamps. A carpet of grass covered the ground.

Su Cen turned to look at Tang Wu, his eyes full of intent. Tang Wu didn't shy away; her pupils reflected a patchwork of dark gold and black clouds above them.

Since Su Cen took her hand and led her down this path through the dense Nan University woods—where few people ventured—he knew she understood what he was thinking.

A smart woman would remain calm and silent. Walking together in a place that is deserted but has a mix of vintage charm and rustic feel, there are many things a man and a woman can do together, like... enjoying the scenery.

This place is actually quite inspirational for any horror film set on a college campus, with stone dams, tennis courts surrounded by rusted wire nets with visible signs of wear and tear, and dim yellow streetlights. NDU's modernization hasn't caught up yet; most school campuses don't try to falsely promote themselves as picturesque gardens, and many places have a neglected, decaying feel. However, standing here, Su Cen and Tang Wu do not feel any sense of terror; they just think this is what their college life should be like.

Su Cen reaches out to wrap his arms around Tang Wu's delicate waist and tries to feel the softness at her chest with his body. Just as he was about to move further, Tang Wu suddenly grabs him. She then leans in to give Su Cen a light kiss on the lips and says rather heavily, "I'm on my period... We can't do it today, okay"

Su Cen is momentarily stunned because he doesn't fully grasp what Tang Wu means by 'can't.' In fact, their unrestricted romance at school was something that Room 602's guys had discussed in depth during sleepless nights when they would talk about Su Cen's relationship with Miss Su.

Su Cen usually responds with "We've done what we should have." The overheated dorm room full of guys who couldn't fall asleep at night berates him for desecrating a goddess in such a manner.

But does that mean they really have done everything

The timing has never been right. Although there was a time when he and Tang Wu were just one step away from something more, the pain of her heartbreak at the time surpassed any physical intimacy.

If Tang Wu had merely been an ordinary girl, Su Cen might have given in to his primal instincts long ago.

However, Tang Wu holds a unique significance for her. It was this girl who gave him the drive and will to completely change his life after his rebirth, placing her in an entirely distinct position within the imprints of his existence.

When they truly aim to become one, it’s not just Tang Wu who fears; even Su Can, with his accumulated experiences from two lifetimes, feels a sense of fear.

Su Can understands that when a woman is revered as an idol to the point of being fearful, it's often at this time she's about to fall into deep waters (I wonder why it seems wrong... shouldn't it be a signal for distancing instead).

In truth, we are still worldly people at heart. None of us should pretend to be saints; who among us doesn’t have desires and emotions Freud once said that all human activities originate from the essence within. Later on, Su Can’s friend Kid elevated this theory to suggest that all successful individuals practice self-denial because the stronger a person is, the more painful it becomes for them, making their demands for joy and stimulation in other areas ever higher. If one doesn’t engage in self-denial, they will achieve nothing at all. After hearing this lofty theory, Su Can felt like he was completely out of touch.

So let’s return to reality.

Su Can is unsure what Tang Wu means by saying it can't be done; whether she's referring to him not being allowed to touch her chest or if this particular attempt at seduction won’t work.

If the latter, then Su Can would like to pay homage to the fiery passion within Tang Wu. It’s because he merely views toppling an idol as a theoretical basis for research into feasibility that his sitting room has already taken its first practical step.

This step is equivalent to crossing a milestone. Having waited for three years, should one still strive for every minute of the day

"Not today Then not next week or even next month What about a year from now" Su Cen felt that his words were quite shameless but thought that it wasn't such a bad thing to be frank given he was going to spend his life with her.

Tang Wu was quietly embraced by Su Cen. His breath was right in front of her, and although she still met his gaze directly, the golden clouds in her eyes had darkened into stormy skies, but within these stormy skies there shone a different kind of light. She bit on her moist lips, "Is that what you want"

A hint of reproach lingered in her expression before she leaned forward and whispered by his ear, "In another month, I'll be able to move into my apartment in Shanghai. I don't want the first time to be at a hotel. Do you have the number"

Good, very good.

Su Cen then remembered that Tang Wu had bought an apartment in Shanghai. Based on the timing, it should be nearing the end of renovation work. After returning from her stay abroad as per her mother's arrangement, she finally had a place to settle down in Shanghai.

He couldn't help but recall his time in Xia Hai—schooling days, bus rides, Tang Wu's solitary family life, and the horror film "Ring." Those nights felt so surreal that he wondered what Tang Wu's new home would look like. This made Su Cen experience for the first time the feeling of property ownership; he started to consider buying a house overlooking the Huangpu River and Oriental Pearl Tower as a mark of his presence in this city.th her mother. We are very grateful for what you did back then, and she still thinks about it often."Lǐ Yián spoke slowly, occasionally interjecting with a tone that conveyed his sincerity and a hint...
