After they got together, Chen Qian also had a dream.
She dreamed that she was standing in a sunlit classroom, facing someone.
She couldn't see the person's face clearly, only remembering that she coldly said, "I don't like you."
Her voice was hollow and indifferent, devoid of any emotion.
The person froze for a moment, then slowly lowered their head and replied softly, "Okay."
She watched as the person turned to leave, a strange pang of sorrow flashing through her heart.
Then she woke up.
Upon waking, Yuanyuan had already brought back breakfast, saying it was delivered from downstairs.
She glanced and recognized it was Cui Lidong.
Yuanyuan handed me the breakfast, her tone filled with frustration: "Why are you so calm?"
"This is Cui Lidong! You just agreed like that?"
I leisurely opened the bag and spread jam on the bread: "What else should I do?"
"You!" Yuanyuan widened her eyes and pointed at me, "Do you know you look especially punchable right now?"
I swallowed the bread in my mouth and winked at her: "Really?"
"Really!"
"Oh."
I got up and walked toward the bathroom.
Yuanyuan followed behind me, fuming: "You just agreed like that? Shouldn't you hold back a bit?"
"Why should I hold back?"
"You..."
Yuanyuan was choked by my words, stomping her feet in frustration but feeling helpless.
After washing my face, I looked at myself in the mirror and vaguely recalled last night's scene.
She looked up at me, her eyes sparkling, then nodded at me and said, "Okay."
At that moment, it felt as if I could hear the sound of flowers blooming all over the world.
During class, it started to rain outside. I took a few steps out and then turned back, discovering Cui Lidong standing behind me with an umbrella. He smiled at me, his gaze gentle. I was slightly taken aback, then smiled and walked towards him.
We walked out of the classroom building side by side and saw Yuanyuan standing at the entrance of the dormitory with an umbrella, looking at us with a resentful expression. I greeted her with a smile, "Yuanyuan, good morning."
Yuanyuan huffed, her tone unfriendly: "Good morning? It's almost noon."
"You two should hurry up and go, don't just linger in front of me."
I couldn't help but laugh, tugging at Cui Lidong's sleeve: "Then let's go."
After taking a few steps, I turned back and saw Yuanyuan still standing there, looking somewhat forlorn. Cui Lidong followed my gaze and nodded knowingly: "Next time I'll bring Ma Yiming to keep you company."
I nodded and withdrew my gaze. Cui Lidong reached out and wrapped his arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer to him with concern in his voice: "What's wrong? Didn't sleep well?"
I shook my head, pretending nothing was wrong, and smiled at him: "I'm fine."
After we got together, Cui Lidong was very gentle and attentive. Everyone knew that he liked me a lot. He knew everything I liked and disliked. When we walked on the road, he would shield me from the sun. On rainy days, he would hold the umbrella for me. He would accompany me to watch movies and go shopping. Everyone envied my luck for having such a wonderful boyfriend.
Even Yuanyuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Cui Lidong is truly the perfect boyfriend."
"You must have saved the galaxy in your past life."
I looked at myself in the mirror, slightly lost in thought.
Sometimes, I also wonder if Cui Lidong is looking through me at someone else.
When he looks at me, his gaze is dreamy, as if I am the person in his heart.
He says, "Chen Qian, I really like you."
He says, "Chen Qian, meeting you is wonderful."
When he says these things, it feels as if he is saying that I am great and that meeting me is also great.
This subtle illusion confuses me, as if his affection and attention are meant for another person.
This feeling intensifies when he gets drunk.
That night, he had been drinking and called me, saying he wanted to see me.
I hurriedly put on a nightgown and went downstairs, finding him standing below, tipsy.
Upon seeing me, his eyes were slightly red, and he suddenly stepped forward to hold me tightly in his arms.
His voice was deep, echoing in my ear: "Chen Qian, I miss you."
The embrace was so strong that it nearly took my breath away.
But I didn't struggle; I quietly listened to his breathing and felt his heartbeat.
In that moment, I suddenly realized that the way he looked at me and his expression mirrored my reactions to him.
It was as if his gaze was searching for another person while I looked at him hoping to see him looking at me.
Snowflakes fell from the sky, landing on my face, cold and refreshing.
I lifted my head to gaze at the pitch-black night sky, feeling a mix of emotions within me.
