C205 (1/2)
An Hao had a dream. In the dream, she seemed to have returned back to her sophomore year, and accidentally fell onto the side of the road wearing high heels. Just as she was sitting by the side and rubbing her sprained ankle, a tall figure appeared in front of her, extending a hand towards her.
”Do you need help?”
She raised her head and saw him standing under the sunlight. Perhaps the sunlight was too dazzling, she couldn't clearly see his face, but she knew in her heart who he was, and she was extremely happy.
She began to run after him every day, finding ways to meet him by chance in the library, in the cafeteria, even in front of the washroom.
She wanted to date him. She wanted a formal confession. She wanted to sing a love song to him, as if that would be formal enough.
As she was wondering what song to sing, she heard a familiar song.
”I heard the raindrops fall on the green grassland, I heard …”
The man's deep yet female voice had a lazy tone to it. Although it didn't sound quite right, such a pleasant voice was still very pleasing to the ear even when one's singing was out of tune.
She decided to use the song as a confession. She started to listen to it every night, and not long after, she finished singing the song.
The confession she chose was from the university's sports field. She purposely used her bright red petals to make a big red heart on the green grass as she watched the slender figure slowly approach her.
She loudly said, ”Little big brother, I like you.”
She stood in the middle of the heart shape and looked at him, softly singing, ”So you are the lucky one I wanted to keep the most, so we were so close to love before …”
When she finished singing, she looked at him nervously and had a premonition that she would be rejected.
However, the man walked in front of her and held her in his arms. He whispered into her ear, ”Although you sang so badly, I still chose to forgive you. It's not like I'm here to listen to music …”
She asked dumbly, ”Then what are you doing here?”
”Of course I'm here to hear your confession.”
The deep, feminine voice was very familiar. She slowly raised her head to look at him, only to see a pair of peach blossom eyes and a lazy smile from the man's lips.
Her heart skipped a beat. She instinctively wanted to break free from his embrace, but the man held her tightly as if he was afraid she would run away.
”You were confessing to me just now, but now you want to run away?”
She struggled with all her might and loudly retorted, ”I recognized the wrong person.”
”You've been chasing me for months, and now you're telling me you got the wrong person?” The man pinched her flesh as if he was punishing her. ”Do you want to run after picking up the pieces?”
His actions were really ruthless, pinching her skin until it turned purple. She trembled from the pain, and her tears glistened as she begged for mercy: ”Lin Lang, let go of me, I'm afraid of pain.”
However, not only did she not let go, she even started pinching her even more fiercely. She was in so much pain that she could not take it anymore. She woke up from her dream with a start.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and Chen Xiyang was no longer by his side. It was unknown if he was cooking in the kitchen or had already left the room.
