The evening air was cool and refreshing. Su Qingnuan couldn't help but tug her jacket tighter around herself.
"Cold?"
"No." Su Qingnuan instinctively touched her neck and smiled. "Actually, it's fine."
Seeing this, Shen Lin'an took off his jacket and draped it over Su Qingnuan's shoulders. "Qingnuan, we've known each other since we were kids. Do you really think you can hide these things from me?"
"..."
Embarrassed, Su Qingnuan lowered her head, deciding not to say anything for the time being.
The two walked along the tree-lined path under the night sky. Ahead, clusters of lights marked the dormitory. Suddenly, Su Qingnuan stopped.
"I should head back now," she said.
Shen Lin'an nodded. "Alright, I'll walk you back."
"No need... I can go back on my own."
She spoke hesitantly, her expression conflicted, making her thoughts easy to guess.
Shen Lin'an chuckled softly. "Don't worry. I'll drop you off from a distance where no one will see."
