Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, it was the start of a new school year.
Xiang Wan wanted to take a good rest for a couple of days, so she finished her part-time job early.
Before school started, Shi Nian'an went out of her way to accompany Xiang Wan shopping, planning to buy her some new items and clothes, saying that stepping into university should be celebrated ceremonially.
Xiang Wan didn't really want to buy anything; she just enjoyed the feeling of having someone with her.
Shi Nian'an preferred a mature and bold style. She felt adults should dress that way and even complained that all of Xiang Wan's clothes looked so pure, like those of a high school student, not one was presentable except for being expensive.
So Xiang Wan bought several sets of clothes, all chosen according to Shi Nian'an's taste, all in a dark color scheme that she had never worn before.
