By the end of December, waiting for someone in the strong northwest winds of Beijing wasn't an easy task. It wasn't long before Xiao Xian and Zhang Yiyi shamelessly ducked into the guard room, not for warmth, but because the winds were mixed with sand that painfully lashed their faces. They waited quite a while until the sky had completely darkened when Zeng Xuerou finally hurried over.
"The car is parked in the residential complex across the street. Student council work has been hectic, and Wang Ke's reliability has been declining," said Zeng Xuerou, not one to complain, but today she couldn't help herself. As it neared the end of the term, the school's evaluations and select committee matters were mostly handed to the student council to sort out. Today was the final review day, and most of the work assigned to Wang Ke remained unfinished.
When the pair was sitting in the student council activity room organizing materials, Wang Ke even fell asleep.
