In high school, I had a crush on Xiao Fu.
At that time, my family was poor, my father was in poor health, I was busy with my studies, and I was quite lazy. As a result, I always dressed poorly and wore clothes that smelled like dampness from rainy days.
Despite this, I was naturally beautiful and had a proud personality, which made it hard for me to get along with others.
Gradually, I became an outcast in my class—a girl who smelled of poverty and had a difficult temperament. I neither received sympathy from others nor kindness in return.
Xiao Fu was the first person who treated me well.
Once during a physical education class on the playground, the sole of my rubber shoe came off and flew away. I stumbled forward due to inertia, and while everyone around me laughed at me, only Xiao Fu from the neighboring class rushed over to ask if I was okay and took me to the school clinic.
He was warm-hearted and gentle by nature.
To me, he was like the bright moonlight—something I could never dare to approach. So, I transformed my feelings for him into motivation for my studies. I wanted to get into the same university as him; I thought that once I improved myself a bit more, I would take the initiative to pursue him.
Who would have thought that he got accepted into Public Security University while I failed to meet the requirements? My medical examination barred me from joining the police force.
I stubbornly believed that my fate with him had come to an end. Later, when my father fell ill, I took a completely different path and never thought about what might happen between us again. It was just a matter of going with the flow and holding onto some lingering attachment.
But Xiao Fu didn’t think that way.
On the day I was discharged from the hospital, he took leave to pick me up. We returned to the same old house, where we had to climb five flights of stairs. He carried my luggage ahead of me while I followed slowly behind.
Watching his back, I could sense his nervousness.
When we reached the door, he handed me the keys. He had replaced the locks and installed a new security door for me. As I opened the door, I found that our home looked completely new. After that malicious attack one night, the living room’s glass had shattered everywhere.
Now, the living room was fresh and clean again. Xiao Fu had used his meager salary to redecorate it and even placed potted plants on the balcony, which brightened up the atmosphere considerably.
He fidgeted at the door as I followed his gaze and noticed an unfamiliar suitcase next to the living room.
“Lin Yu Tang, since you have an empty room, can I rent it?”
？？？？？
I stood there, momentarily at a loss for words, unsure of what he was saying.
Xiao Fu stammered, "I need a place to stay. I can pay you. I've checked the rent around here; would 2500 a month work for you?"
Furrowing my brow, I looked at him for a moment and let out a soft laugh.
"How about 3000?" I replied, making a bold offer.
Xiao Fu was taken aback by my response, excitement flickering in his eyes. He stared into mine and, in a daze, blurted out, "Lin Yu Tang, I will take good care of you."
I shrugged and walked toward my room. "Just don't interfere with me; everything else is up to you."
Later that night, Xiao Fu was already asleep when I crouched down and opened his door quietly, slipping into his bed.
Xiao Fu woke up startled and looked at me in surprise.
I turned on the lamp beside the bed, the dim yellow light illuminating his sleepy face. He looked a bit dazed.
I shook him gently and asked, "Fang Xiaofu, do you like me?"
He blushed like a rabbit and tried to hide away. I grabbed him firmly and asked again, "Fang Xiaofu, if you like me, just say it. I'm not one for beating around the bush."
Under my persistent questioning, he nodded, avoiding my gaze.
"I liked you back in high school. Otherwise, why would I keep getting close to you?"
At that moment, I was genuinely surprised. "You liked me in high school?"
Xiao Fu fell into memories. "You always wore glasses and studied alone. I tried to reach out to you, but it seemed like you didn't remember me at all."
I felt a bit embarrassed and slightly annoyed but forced myself to maintain composure. "I was only focused on studying back then; I really didn't know how you felt."
Xiao Fu shrugged and said, "You're beautiful, and back then, there were so many boys who liked you. You didn't care about any of them, and I didn't dare to pursue you."
I pouted, "So how come you're daring now? You even have the audacity to step into my life."
Xiao Fu continued to fidget, and I couldn't stand it anymore. I leaned in and kissed him.
The kiss was intense, and in a moment of frustration, I bit down hard on his neck.
Lost in the moment, he flipped me over and pressed me down, kissing my ear and whispering something softly.
The memory of that night was pure, like the bright moon in the sky, casting a faint, clear light upon me.
I thought to myself that living like this wasn't so bad.
I could start anew.
After settling my debts, I tried to go with the flow and sought a peaceful life.
With Xiao Fu willingly handing over his paycheck and taking on household chores, I agreed to find a proper job.
We enjoyed a period of sweet harmony together.
However, having never worked in an office before, I couldn't handle the oppressive atmosphere and ended up quitting to start live streaming instead.
Xiao Fu hesitated but eventually supported my decision.
I gradually became bolder and discovered that making money online was surprisingly easy. Just by sitting there with my face on display, without saying a word, people were eager to compete for the top spot as my biggest supporter.
After that, Xiao Fu became quite vigilant. Whenever he wasn't busy with work, he would occasionally come home to keep me company during late nights.
One time, I was sitting in front of the screen watching a few older brothers flood the chat with messages, silently observing without saying a word.
Xiao Fu was secretly watching my livestream from the room. The more he watched, the angrier he got. He deliberately put on his police uniform and walked in front of my camera, swaying back and forth.
The chat exploded with questions like, "Who is this person?" and "Is this cosplay?"
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Xiao Fu peeking his head out from the room.
I turned to the camera and said, "This is our Little Officer, my boyfriend."
Xiao Fu finally let out a sigh of relief. From then on, no matter how freely I flew in the sky, he never interfered again. He would only occasionally sway in front of my camera to assert his presence, but that was it.
A year later, we had a wedding photo at home. I officially announced our marriage and retired from the internet.
I focused on studying at home for a year and passed an exam for a civil service position.
From then on, both Xiao Fu and I enjoyed stable government jobs and lived our quiet little lives.
(The End)
