"We still have another semester."
Zhuge Yun laughed. "You're saying goodbye a little early."
Xiao Xiao paused for a moment.
Then he shook his head, a hint of amusement rising in his eyes.

Whenever people heard the sound of a conch, they could almost believe they were hearing the waves.
Xiao Xiao looked toward the sound.
The creature was staring in shock at the spot
