Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After washing up, Wen Nian changed into her running clothes and sat on the bench by the door, putting on her sneakers.

Sun Min and Zhou Bei got out of bed and hesitated as they walked towards the door. They looked at Wen Nian, who was bending over to tie her shoelaces. Their mouths opened and closed, indicating their desire to speak, but they hesitated.

Wen Nian stood up after putting on her shoes and noticed her two roommates looking at her. She smiled and greeted naturally, “Good morning.”

With Wen Nian initiating the conversation, the two of them seemed to break free from their muted state and quickly responded, “Good morning.”

Seeing Sun Min and Zhou Bei speaking in unison, Wen Nian was momentarily surprised. She pointed towards the door and said, “I’ll go for a run first.”

Sun Min nudged Zhou Bei’s arm, indicating for her to speak first.

Noticing the subtle gestures between the two, Wen Nian smiled and asked, “Is there something you want to say?”

Zhou Bei no longer hesitated when she saw this and said, “Wen Nian, today is your birthday, right? Happy birthday!”

Sun Min followed, saying, “Wen Nian, happy birthday!”

Wen Nian’s gaze slightly froze, feeling somewhat surprised.

She hadn’t expected to receive birthday wishes from her roommates. After all, their interactions were more familiar than with strangers, but this didn’t stop Wen Nian from sensing their genuine sincerity. Her smile deepened, “Thank you for your wishes!”

In this moment, the thin ice between them started showing signs of melting.

Because of the messages she had received, Wen Nian’s WeChat had been filled with birthday greetings all morning. Looking at Shen Jun, who still hadn’t noticed her birthday, Wen Nian pretended to casually ask, “It seems like 1 haven’t seen you on your phone much today.”

Shen Jun turned his head to look at Wen Nian, slightly furrowed his brows, sighed lightly, and raised the book in his hand, “The program we’ve been developing is stuck at the final stage. We’ve been discussing these past few days, but 1 still think it’s not perfect. So, I’m planning to find inspiration in my books again.”

Knowing that Shen Jun had been working on the project for over a year and was now in the crucial stage, seeing his troubled expression, Wen Nian didn’t want to disturb him with her birthday matter. She quickly said with concern, “Then go ahead and read. I won’t bother you.”

Looking at Wen Nian’s obedient appearance, Shen Jun smiled and gently scraped her cheek with his index finger, affectionately saying, “1 might be a bit busy during this period, but no matter what happens, remember to come to me first.”

Wen Nian smiled and nodded. Shen Jun would surely spend a lot of time preparing for her birthday later. Thinking of this, she decided not to mention it this year and celebrate properly next year.

Just as the last class of the afternoon ended, Shen Jun suddenly held his head, his brows tightly furrowed.

Seeing Shen Jun’s flushed face, Wen Nian asked in confusion, “Are you not feeling well somewhere?”

Shen Jun lowered his head, tightly pursed his lips, and clenched his fist against his forehead. After a while, he looked up at Wen Nian and replied, “I suddenly have a severe headache and I feel a bit dizzy.”

Shen Jun wasn’t someone who would show pain for even a slight discomfort. So, seeing him in such pain, Wen Nian became even more worried, “Let me accompany you to the hospital.”

Shen Jun shook his head, a sharp pain causing him to take a sharp intake of breath. However, he still softly declined, “It’s not that troublesome. It’s just occasional nerve pain. I’ve had it before. 1’11 be fine after a good sleep at home. You still have evening self-study later, don’t bother with me.”

Seeing Shen Jun in this much pain, Wen Nian couldn’t let it go. She stood up, her tone resolute, “Why bother with self-study? I’ll ask for leave and take you to the hospital.”

After saying that, Wen Nian turned and left, heading to her teacher’s office.

Due to Wen Nian’s remarkable improvement in grades, Li Fang’s impression of her had become quite positive. Using her discomfort as a reason, Wen Nian applied for a sick leave to go home and rest for a night. Li Fang, without doubting, promptly issued a sick leave note. She also kindly reminded Wen Nian to take care of her health while focusing on her studies.

With the sick leave note in hand, Wen Nian left the school with Shen Jun. However, Shen Jun absolutely refused to go to the hospital. “It really is just nerve pain. I promise you, if I’m not feeling better when I wake up tomorrow, 1’11 definitely go to the hospital immediately. Standing around uncomfortably now, 1 just want to go home and lie down.”

Seeing Shen Jun’s discomfort, and worried that delaying things might worsen his condition, Wen Nian reluctantly agreed and headed back to Xifeng Court.

Shen Jun rested his hand on Wen Nian’s shoulder, seeming to feel weak all over. As they exited the elevator, Wen Nian skillfully opened the door to Shen Jun’s apartment..
