On the first day of university, Yun Que is being chased by debt collectors.
As poor as she is, she immediately shoves Shi Yue, who was waiting to walk home with her, behind her. Then she suddenly remembers that her computer, which contains her risque comic drafts, is still with Shi Yue. Yun Que stops, doubles back, and drags him along too.
The two run through the streets and alleys.
That day, the sunset filled the sky, more romantic than anything.
On the green riverbank, the girl lying on the ground lets go of his hand, leans over him, and takes back her computer. "You're so weak! What happened to all that basketball you played?"
Then she sits up and opens two bottles of soda.

The bubbles rise and burst.
"Here."
Shi Yue lies beside her, panting for a long while before looking up at the girl. He doesn't take the drink, curling his fingers as his whole body burns.
He straightens his rumpled shirt with a cool expression and says irritably, "Y-you! You used me as a human shield again."
"In the name of the Shadow Lord, I command you to apologize to me."

Later, Yun Que regrets not apologizing sooner. Then getting Shi Yue into bed wouldn't have been such a struggle.
