I began to observe Wang Yueming's movements more seriously. Every morning, I would leave ten minutes early and wander around the roads near the school, hoping to run into Wang Yueming.
Heaven rewards those who are diligent; after a week, I finally encountered him.
"Hey," I greeted enthusiastically, "What a coincidence."
Wang Yueming looked at me with a faint smile on his face. "Coincidence."
"Are you heading to school?" I asked.
"Yeah."
"Then let's walk together," I said, "I don't have anything else to do anyway."
Wang Yueming looked at me as if he wanted to refuse, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
On the way, I tried to find topics to talk about, but he responded very coldly; it was mostly me talking by myself. However, I didn't mind; I was already used to it.
As we walked, I suddenly remembered something: "By the way, do you eat anything in the morning?"
Wang Yueming looked at me with a puzzled expression.
"I was just asking casually," I said, "because I buy breakfast on the road every morning, so I wanted to know if you do the same."
Wang Yueming: "..."
"Well," I continued, "what do you usually eat in the morning?"
Wang Yueming: "..."
"Don't eat?" I asked. "Then would you like to try the sandwiches my dad makes?"
Wang Yueming: "..."
"They're really delicious," I said. "You can give them a try."
Wang Yueming: "..."
"Okay," I said, "since you don't like eating, then forget it."
Wang Yueming: "..."
I looked at him and suddenly felt that he was hard to communicate with.
"By the way," I said, "I think we really have a connection."
Wang Yueming: "..."
"Look," I said, "we both have the character 'Yue' in our names; this is what they call the 'Moon' combination."
Wang Yueming: "..."
"So I think," I said, "we are destined to meet."
Wang Yueming: "..."
——
That night, Wang Yueming lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.
The words of that girl kept echoing in his mind.
She was right; they indeed had a connection.
The character 'Yue' in their names represents the moon, and it also signifies the night.
And they had met under the moonlight of the night.
But why did he feel that their bond was more than just the 'Yue' in their names?
Wang Yueming couldn't figure it out.
He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down.
But he couldn't sleep.
His mind was filled with the image of that girl.
The way she smiled, how she spoke, the way she looked at him...
Wang Yueming opened his eyes and stared into the dark air.
He didn't know what to do.
——
In the morning, Wang Yueming woke up with a splitting headache.
He had a dream last night.
In the dream, he was lost in a forest.
Surrounded by trees with no end in sight, he ran alone through the woods but couldn't find a way out.
Eventually, he grew tired and lay on the ground, gazing at the sky.
The sky was black, without stars or the moon.
He closed his eyes and imagined himself on an open grassland, surrounded by countless fireflies dancing around him.
But he knew that was just an imagination.
The reality was that he was in a dark forest, unable to find a way out.
Wang Yueming felt an emptiness inside him, as if he had lost something important.
Yet he couldn't remember what exactly he had lost.
At that moment, his phone rang.
Wang Yueming picked up his phone; it was a call from Zhang Kai.
"Hello?" Wang Yueming answered.
"Are you awake?" Zhang Kai asked.
"Yeah."
"We have a game this afternoon," Zhang Kai said, "Don't forget."
"I know."
"Alright then," Zhang Kai said, "I'll hang up now. Bye."
"Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Yueming fell into deep thought again.
A game...
He pondered for a moment, then got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.
After freshening up, Wang Yueming left the dormitory and headed towards the teaching building.
On the way, he encountered many people, but they only exchanged brief greetings without saying much more.
He arrived at the multimedia classroom, pushed the door open, and walked inside.
A few people were already in the classroom; upon seeing him enter, they greeted him.
Wang Yueming responded to each one and then took a seat.
Someone next to him asked, "Why did you come so early today?"
"I couldn't sleep," Wang Yueming replied, "So I came early."
"Oh," the person nodded, "What are you planning to talk about today?"
Wang Yueming thought for a moment: "Just talk about whatever."
The person glanced at him: "Didn't you say you were going to talk about math?"
Wang Yueming looked at him: "When did I say that?"
The person: "..."
