Nezha looked at Aunt Taiyi in confusion, not understanding the meaning behind her words. But before he could ask, there was a sudden knock on the office door, interrupting their conversation.
"Aunt Taiyi, there's a problem with the heating pipes in the dormitory building. We need your signature," came the voice of a maintenance worker from outside.
"Coming, coming," Aunt Taiyi stood up and said to Nezha, "Little Nezha, I have work to do. Remember my words: keep hope alive; fate has its own arrangements."
Nezha nodded and gratefully bid farewell to Aunt Taiyi. As he walked out of the office, his mood was much lighter than when he had entered. Although he still didn't know when he would see Ao Bing again, at least he no longer felt that it was a hopeless dream.
In the following days, Nezha often encountered Aunt Taiyi around campus. This enthusiastic member of the Dormitory Office always seemed to offer him subtle hints and encouragement, leading Nezha to begin questioning whether Aunt Taiyi's identity was as simple as it appeared.
A week later, on the weekend, Nezha went to practice at the soccer field as usual. The weather had turned quite cold, but it did not dampen his love for soccer. After training, he sat on a bench at the edge of the field, lost in thought as he gazed at the clouds drifting across the sky.
"Little Nezha, daydreaming all by yourself?" A familiar voice came from behind him, breaking his reverie.
Turning around, he saw Aunt Taiyi approaching with a thermos in hand.
"Auntie, what brings you here?" Nezha asked in surprise.
Aunt Taiyi sat down beside him, opened the thermos, and poured out a steaming cup of ginger tea. "It's so cold out; I saw you practicing for so long and thought I'd bring you some hot ginger tea to warm you up."
Nezha accepted the cup with gratitude. "Thank you, Auntie. You're so thoughtful."
Aunt Taiyi smiled as she watched Nezha drink the tea before suddenly asking, "Little Nezha, have you received any notifications about next week's event?"
Nezha looked at Aunt Taiyi in confusion. "What event?"
"The school is hosting a 'Winter Couple Challenge,'" Aunt Taiyi explained. "Pairs will participate in various fun challenges, and not only are there prizes, but it also helps strengthen relationships. I think you should join."
Nezha forced a smile. "Aunt, have you forgotten? Ao Bing isn't here. How can I participate in the Winter Couple Challenge?"
Aunt Taiyi smiled mysteriously. "Who said Ao Bing is gone?"
Nezha's heart suddenly raced. "What do you mean? Is Ao Bing back?"
Aunt Taiyi didn't answer directly. Instead, she pulled out a neatly folded note from her pocket and handed it to Nezha. "Tonight at seven o'clock, Campus Center Lakeside. Bring this. Don't be late."
Nezha took the note, feeling a whirlwind of emotions. "Aunt, what is this? Is Ao Bing really back?"
Aunt Taiyi stood up and patted Nezha on the shoulder. "You'll find out soon enough. Remember to be on time, bring the note, and dress nicely!" With that, she picked up her thermos and hummed a tune as she left the soccer field, leaving Nezha sitting there, tightly gripping the mysterious note.
Nezha carefully unfolded the note, which contained only a few simple words: "Water and Fire Harmonized, Destined." Below it was a strange symbol resembling a dragon entwined with flames.
What does this mean? Is Ao Bing really back? Or is Aunt Taiyi planning some surprise? With a head full of questions, Nezha returned to his dormitory to prepare for the mysterious date that evening.
He took a long hot shower and chose his best outfit—a deep red sweater paired with black jeans, which was Ao Bing's favorite look on him. He even styled his hair carefully and spritzed on some cologne, hoping to surprise Ao Bing (if it really was him).
