After the military training ended that day, the school seemed to know that the freshmen would organize a wild celebration; they lifted the 11 p.m. curfew for the dormitories.
After everyone had sung to their heart's content, it was time to disperse.
On the way back to school from Xinzhu Road, everyone had clearly become much more familiar with each other, not as strictly divided by gender as when they'd arrived.
Zhang Gaoqiang, for example, was walking shoulder to shoulder with Xu Ya, talking about who-knows-what, but the way Xu Ya took out her phone suggested that the two had just exchanged contact information.
"We had a lot of fun today, how about we start a group chat and exchange WeChat info?"
When they reached the entrance of the girls' dormitory, Xu Ya stopped and said to the boys present.
"Let's play some more games next time, we didn't get to show our best today~"
As she spoke, she gave Lu Jincheng a playful wink.
