Meanwhile.
In a girls' dorm at Jinling University, four young women were curled up on their beds, scrolling through their phones.
Lu Yao suddenly sat up, slapped her phone down on the bed, and exclaimed, "Let's go to the beach tomorrow! Who's in?"
Song Miaomiao, startled, poked her head out from under the covers. "What's gotten into you? It's the middle of the night."
"Tomorrow's Saturday, no classes, and the weather's supposed to be great!" Lu Yao chuckled, crossing her legs and counting on her fingers. "I checked the forecast. It's going to be sunny, so let's go to the beach! I haven't seen the ocean in forever. The last time was in Suzhou, and that was only thanks to Uncle Lu and Silu."
Song Miaomiao rolled over and said languidly, "What's so fun about the beach? It's always crowded."
