Author's note: I wanted to soothe the regret in my heart and give these girls a perfect ending, so I wrote this university installment of Forest's Deer. The plot is brief and mostly about their everyday lives.

Synopsis:

"Love can write my Book of Songs, but it can't calculate my fate.", Jiajia, "Fate"

"It's not just that you're in my heart. You're everywhere in the corner of my eye.", Yu Guangzhong

In a quiet little grove, Lu Linyu meets Song Wanci, who is diligently practicing her acting.

She looks as if she's stepped out of a painting, her features gentle. Wearing a white dress and holding a script, she says with deep feeling, "I love you."

At her words, Lu Linyu's heart skips a beat. At last, she understands what it means to fall in love at first sight and remember it forever.

[Bonus Scene]

"Hold me."

Song Wanci sobs as she throws her arms around Lu Linyu, tears soaking her white shirt.

"There, there. Don't cry, I'm here." Lu Linyu holds her too, and says gently, "Let's go back to school. It's too dirty here."

Song Wanci cries, "I don't want to go back today."

"Then where do you want to go?"

After a few seconds of silence, she looks up at Lu Linyu and says timidly, "Take me home. I want to stay with you tonight."

Lu Linyu looks at her. "You won't regret it?"

"If it's with you, I'll gladly do it."

Theme: It's not just that you're in my heart. You're everywhere in the corner of my eye.
