While going downstairs, Ruan Yuxia checked the map, which showed me where she was headed: Minqing Jiaotong University.
She was going to her alma mater.
So was Director Ma.
She left the residential compound, boarded a bus, and then transferred to the subway.
The journey passed peacefully.
All I could hear was Ruan Yuxia's heartbeat and feel her helplessness.
It was a bit of a long trip.
Minqing Jiaotong University had moved to the university town on the outskirts. There were seven or eight schools there, and the area was bustling.

Ruan Yuxia looked up at the building in front of her.
The old Jiaotong University teaching building had been preserved. I couldn't quite describe
