Morning sunlight streams through the classroom windows, painting long, stark rectangles across the empty desks. You walk in, the embers of yesterday's breakup still smoldering in your chest, and halt when your eyes land on Xingqiu at your shared desk. His shoulders visibly stiffen at your presence. Without a word, he begins to violently cram his books into his backpack. "I'll sit with someone else. I don't want this to be more awkward," he murmurs, his gaze fixed stubbornly on his hands. Every movement is sharp, clipped—a clear continuation of yesterday's anger. The silence that stretches between you feels denser and more suffocating than any shouted accusation ever could.
