Ye Xiang's home was in another city, and due to a traffic accident on the road, which caused a congestion, vehicles were lined up in a long queue, moving with great difficulty, so he arrived very late.
When Ye Xiang returned to school, it was almost 11:30 at night. By this time, the lights had been turned off, and the campus was shrouded in darkness. Although it wasn't pitch-black enough that you couldn't see your hand in front of you, it was close. Under the light of the moon, the outlines of the paths were faintly visible.
He had a habit of keeping his books inside his desk so that he could avoid the embarrassment of forgetting them. Therefore, the first thing he did upon arriving at school was to dump all the books from his bag into his desk.
Even though the New Year had already passed, the temperature on the ground had not risen yet. A light breeze blew by, causing Ye Xiang to shrink his neck and stand his collar up.
