The school at night was blanketed in darkness, with even the streetlights dim, suggesting that the school was nearing the inability to pay the electricity bill.
In stark contrast, the lights outside the girls' dormitory shone so brightly that nothing could hide from their glaring beams.
This probably indicated that Xilin University of Technology was still relatively conservative in spirit.
Although after the turn of the millennium, nearly every university had changed its ways, embracing open-mindedness and no longer forbidding sweet romances among students on campus.
But still, one school differs from another.
Some institutions even offered policies allowing married student couples to apply for joint dormitories, while others maintained a stance of neither opposing nor supporting such arrangements.
Judging from this pattern of lighting, Xilin University of Technology evidently belonged to the latter group.
