Returning to my senior year of high school before college, I became addicted to dating.

That evening, the three girlfriends went back to their dorm to pack their things.

Tomorrow is the National Day holiday, and Raymond Lam has agreed to accompany them to visit tourist attractions in Beijing.

Song Yan texted: "Where are we going tomorrow?"

Raymond Lam: "Go to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Summer Palace. Don't come to Beijing for nothing. I'll take you there to take some photos."

Liu Jiaqi sent a message: "Pack your things, we have to move back to Gaobeidian tomorrow."

Raymond Lam replied: "Okay."

Liu Chengcheng said, "I want to eat jianbing guozi tomorrow morning, from the one near the school gate."

Raymond Lam replied: "Okay."

The moon rose, casting a soft glow over the playground. The daytime hustle and bustle had faded, leaving only a few streetlights still lit.

The white lines on the track were exceptionally clear under the lights.

Lin Feng walked slowly alone on the 400-meter track, his mind replaying the events of the past two weeks.

At that moment, Shen Yutong arrived.

The two of them had made an appointment.

She changed her clothes, wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, her hair tied in a low ponytail, and she wasn't wearing makeup; her eyes were still slightly swollen. She walked to Lin Feng's side, and the two walked side by side.

After walking for a while, Shen Yutong spoke, her voice very soft, as if she were talking to herself.

"My mother died in a car accident when I was six years old."

Lin Feng didn't speak, but he paused for a moment.

Shen Yutong continued, "My dad remarried the following year. My stepmother wasn't nice to me, but she wasn't exactly abusive; she was just...cold."

"She hardly ever talks to me, and I feel like an outsider when we eat at home."

"Later I became obsessed with painting because I don't have to talk to anyone when I'm painting, and I don't feel bored when I'm alone."

"Doesn't your dad care?" Lin Feng asked.

Shen Yutong smiled faintly, a smile that contained helplessness, bitterness, and also a sense of relief.

"He was busy, had many social engagements, and didn't have time for me. Later, they had another son, and he had even less time for me."

She stopped, stood on the track, and looked at her toes. "So I draw. I draw what I see, what I want to remember, and if I draw it, I won't forget it."

She turned to look at Lin Feng, "You are the most special person I have ever met."

"You are very free-spirited and genuine, with a free-spirited and unconventional personality, and you have your own ideas."

"Your personality is very attractive to me because it's the kind of feeling I yearn for, but I can't achieve it."

Lin Feng didn't say anything, but reached out and took her hand, their fingers intertwined.

The moon disappeared behind the clouds, and the playground became a little darker.

The two continued walking forward, neither letting go of the other's hand.

As I walked to the edge of the playground, there was a small grove of trees next to me. The light from the streetlights was blocked by the tree canopy, and the grove was pitch black.

Shen Yutong stopped, looked at the grove of trees, then at Lin Feng, and bit her lower lip.

Lin Feng understood what she meant, took her hand, and walked into the grove.

After walking a few dozen meters further in, the light dimmed, and they could only vaguely see each other's faces.

After walking a few more steps, I suddenly heard a woman's voice ahead, moaning and groaning, with suppressed panting.

Lin Feng stopped in his tracks. The sound also ceased.

Two seconds later, a man's voice came from the darkness, panting and helpless: "Brother, don't go any further, there are people here. There's even a couple inside! You two should go to the woods on the right, there's no one there."

Shen Yutong covered her face; it was burning hot, like she had a fever.

Lin Feng was also stunned, not expecting the business in the grove to be so busy.

He coughed, "Excuse me." Then he pulled Shen Yutong to the right.

The woods on the right were denser, and the leaves completely blocked out the moonlight.

Lin Feng felt his way to a thick tree trunk in the darkness, behind which was a small open space.

Shen Yutong leaned against the tree, and Lin Feng stood in front of her, so close that they could feel each other's breath.

Shen Yutong said softly, "Lin Feng, how about... we go out another day? What if we get spotted here?"

Lin Feng squeezed her hand; his palm was sweaty.

He thought for a moment and said something awful: "It's okay, it's so dark, nobody can see anyone."

Shen Yutong laughed in exasperation, and punched his chest, the sound muffled, like hitting a quilt.

Raymond Lam lowered his head and kissed her. This time there was no snot, no tears, just a clean kiss.

Shen Yutong's lips were very soft, with a hint of mint flavor, probably because she had chewed gum before coming.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, ran her fingers through his hair, and her breathing became erratic.

Shen Yutong's voice brushed against his lips, "Tonight, you don't need to take responsibility."

Lin Feng hugged her even tighter.

"Fool, I'm going to take full responsibility for you."

Shen Yutong leaned against the tree, "I...this is my first time, please take it easy."

"It's okay, I have a way to ease your pain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng bent down.

Shen Yutong suddenly widened her eyes, "You...you can do this?"

A moment later, Raymond Lam stood up. "Coming!"

Shen Yutong's eyes bulged out, and she quickly covered her mouth.

More than half an hour later, Lin Feng, panting heavily, said, "I can't take it anymore! This is too damn tiring. Let's lie down!"

"How can I lie down here? It's so dirty."

Lin Feng said, "It's okay, just put my clothes underneath, I'll take a shower when I get back to the dorm."

The two of them quietly took off their clothes and spread them on the ground.

The second round of combat begins.

"Lin Feng, you...you've been taking way too long! The dorms are about to turn off the lights and do room checks."

"Right away, right away, don't rush."

Afterwards, the two lay on the ground.

Moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting shards of silver light onto the two of them.

Shen Yutong closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, her breathing still rapid.

"I won't argue with them."

Raymond Lam said, "I know you don't need to argue with any of you, because I won't be biased."

The two got dressed and went outside.

"Raymond Lam".

"Um?"

"Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?"

Shen Yutong paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you for not lying to me."

Lin Feng didn't say anything, but put his arm around her waist.

One by one, the lights on the playground went out. The campus quieted down, with only the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves. The two returned to their respective dormitories.
