Mei Xiawen was her class representative; he was always nice to everyone in her class.
The law students at their university were given the opportunity to intern at prominent law firms, starting from their junior year.

It was also true that Mei Xiawen had walked her back to the dormitories more than a few times, when it was dark out because she had lost track of time while buried in her books. But she had assumed this was only because Class Rep was just as passionate about his studies as she was.
