In the library, Zhang Xiaowei always quietly sat across from Class Flower, accompanying her as she studied. He would hand her a warm cup of coffee when she needed it, or patiently explain difficult problems when she encountered challenges. He observed her emotions closely; when she seemed tired, he would suggest taking a walk around campus to relax.
His attentive care was meticulous. Zhang Xiaowei was like a guardian angel, constantly watching over Class Flower's every move. He would remind her to wear more clothes and keep warm; he would check on her meals, urging her to eat on time; he would listen to her troubles and share in her joys.
When Class Flower fell behind in her classes, Zhang Xiaowei did his best to help her catch up. He used his connections to find the best teachers at school for one-on-one tutoring sessions for her. He would patiently organize notes to help Class Flower understand those complex concepts.
Under Zhang Xiaowei's gentle influence, the tightly shut door of Class Flower's heart gradually opened a crack. She began to rely on his company; in front of him, she could shed all her disguises and reveal her most vulnerable side. She confided in him about her inner pain, expressing her longing and resentment towards Ye Jingtai.
Zhang Xiaowei always listened patiently, occasionally comforting and encouraging her. "Lin Shu Yao, don't worry, I will always be here for you," he said, his voice deep and magnetic, his gaze filled with sincerity.
Class Flower felt a gentle stirring in her heart, a warm current rising within. She started to enjoy this feeling of being cared for, as if a drowning person had grasped onto a life-saving straw.
Zhang Xiaowei's presence filled the emptiness inside her, allowing her to temporarily forget the pain that Ye Jingtai had caused. Although she did not agree to be Zhang Xiaowei's girlfriend, she tacitly accepted his pursuit and enjoyed his meticulous care.
"Lin Shu Yao, how about we go watch a movie tonight? The new romance film just came out; I heard it's touching," Zhang Xiaowei suggested gently, his voice as soft as a spring breeze brushing against Class Flower's heart.
Class Flower hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded. She needed something to numb herself, and a movie seemed like a good choice.
In the dim light of the cinema, Zhang Xiaowei's hand quietly took hold of Class Flower's hand. She did not resist but allowed him to hold it. A warmth spread through her, mingled with a hint of unease.
After the movie ended, Zhang Xiaowei walked Class Flower back to her dormitory. "Lin Shu Yao, would you be my girlfriend?" he asked courageously, his tone laced with nervousness.
Class Flower did not answer; she lowered her head in silence. She had not fully emerged from the shadow of her previous relationship and was afraid of being hurt again.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaowei did not press further but gently hugged her instead. "It's okay; I can wait."
Class Flower leaned into Zhang Xiaowei's embrace, feeling his warmth enveloping her as tears silently slipped down her cheeks. She was unsure if she was making the right choice; she truly needed someone to lean on.
In the days that followed, Class Flower and Zhang Xiaowei grew increasingly close. Zhang Xiaowei catered to her every need, almost reaching the point of being completely obedient.
He helped her with homework, accompanied her shopping, even washed her clothes and cleaned their dormitory. He organized every aspect of Class Flower's daily life meticulously.
Yet deep inside Class Flower remained a thread of unease. She felt that Zhang Xiaowei's love was too heavy, making it hard for her to breathe. She missed the independent self she once was—the proud and confident Class Flower.
