In the end, Qi Yan wins second place while the first place goes to School of Literature. At first, no one pays attention to the plain-looking boy, but during the last five laps, he and Qi Yan leave all other competitors behind by a great distance. Qi Yan is tall and his legs are long, his strides big, rhythmic and quite a pleasant sight to the eyes. The schoolmate is shorter than Qi Yan by a head, so he has a disadvantage in stride length but he wins in frequency. Running is about determination after all. Song Fei holds on tight to his phone but his eyes actually never leave…

The discussion over the student from Department of Archaeology stays heated for half a day. At night, every instructor unanimously disappears after leaving a message that “The matter is under investigation. All students please do not believe in rumours.

These faces should be full of energy, but at that very moment, most of them exude a rusty, lifeless shade, as though they contain such profoundness that don’t really match with their age. Song Fei is among those faces, but he insists that this internet cafe is a complete contrast of a place befitting a proud successor of the socialist party — the sofa outside whose leather has flaked, the computer desk whose original colour couldn’t be recognised anymore, the keyboard whose gaps have been blackened by…

“The warmest language I have ever seen in a zombie novel.” – Douban Reviewer #1 “A survival guide for ordinary people.” – Douban Reviewer #2 “Don’t run when the zombie comes, quickly turn around and look at your ex.” – Douban Reviewer #3 Pinyin name: Sang Bing Da Xue Synopsis: Song Fei’s university life is nothing unusual. He takes compulsory courses, skips optional ones and signs up for Level 4 and 6 of English exam. If there is indeed something that bothers him, that must be his top-student, annoying ex-boyfriend that he can’t seem to stay away from – Qi Yan. As it is usually the case, ex-boyfriends are just…
