I went to live with Fabi in the summer fifteen years ago. I was in my senior year of college at the time and had already found a job in May of that year. Since I had enough credits for graduation, I only showed up to school once a week after entering fourth grade. Once, when I went to the Academic Affairs Department of the university to issue a transcript, the blinds were lowered on the side with glass windows because it was already summer vacation. I knew this was my student days and the last summer vacation in my life, but standing in front of the blinds, I decided to spend this vacation doing nothing as usual. Before going home, I stopped by the computer room. After turning on the computer, I saw an email from Saurer asking me if I wanted to go to Switzerland. He said that a Swiss classmate invited him to her home. Zhuo Lang has been to the UK since March in order to learn English, and he is currently on leave from school. I hesitated.
