Liu Xiyue sat alone by the sink for a long time, only relaxing slightly after Song Shudi was completely out of sight.
From the moment she saw Song Shudi, Liu Xiyue’s emotions had been in turmoil. On one hand, she was overjoyed to have found Song Shudi, feeling that all her efforts had not been in vain, and her lover had finally appeared by her side. On the other hand, she was heartbroken by Song Shudi’s indifference.
Even knowing that her lover couldn’t remember anything, Liu Xiyue still felt instinctively sad.
Who wants the person they like to be so indifferent to them?
“Sigh, don’t be too sad. Pursuing someone always takes time. She’s always been a little iceberg. If she were very enthusiastic towards you the first time, it would be even stranger.” 719 felt bad seeing Liu Xiyue’s red eyes.
Her host was beautiful and had such a good character; countless people pursued her, and she had never encountered anything like this before.
“You’re right. Her initial enthusiasm towards me was unlike her usual self.” Liu Xiyue wiped her reddened eyes. She kept telling herself that this was normal; she had experienced countless disappointments, and finding Song Shudi was her greatest fortune.
Just then, a girl came running from afar, her face anxious, glancing back every now and then.
Liu Xiyue looked closely and recognized her as Xiang Wenyi, a new trainee at the company.
This girl was pretty, considered a beauty in the company. She had met Liu Xiyue a few times, and each time she encountered her at the company, she would respectfully call her “senior sister.” Today, she didn’t know why she was running so hurriedly.
“Senior sister! Are you alright?” Xiang Wenyi rushed to Liu Xiyue’s side, her expression becoming even more anxious upon seeing Liu Xiyue’s red eyes.
“I’m fine, what’s wrong?”
Liu Xiyue had already composed herself, her voice very steady, revealing no emotion except for her slightly red eyes.
“Bai Lin didn’t do anything to you, did he?” Xiang Wenyi asked, glancing towards the hallway, afraid Song Shudi might return.
Bai Lin? ???
Liu Xiyue’s eyes darkened. It was all so easy; it turned out Song Shudi’s client was Bai Lin, and Song Shudi had come to this world on Bai Lin’s behalf.
And she’d been searching for him for so long.
“Senior?” Xiang Wenyi called out to Liu Xiyue.
Had her senior been frightened by Bai Lin? That Bai Lin was truly despicable.
Only when Xiang Wenyi spoke again did Liu Xiyue come to her senses.
“What could she possibly do to me?” Liu Xiyue asked, confused.
“Senior, you’ve only just transferred here; there are many things you might not know. That Bai Lin… she… she… likes girls.”
“So what if she likes girls? It’s not like it’s a heinous crime.” Liu Xiyue frowned slightly. Did this girl have a prejudice against same-sex relationships?
“That’s not what I meant… She not only likes girls, but she also likes to harass pretty girls. Taking advantage of her family’s wealth, she’s done a lot of things that violate school rules. Sigh, any girl she sets her sights on ends up in trouble. She’s a complete thug. Senior, you’re so pretty, it’s best to avoid her.”
Xiang Wenyi was telling the truth. She had been harassed by Bai Lin when she first entered school, and since Bai Lin’s family was in the entertainment industry, she couldn’t confront her directly. She had to use many methods to get rid of Bai Lin, and now she avoids him whenever she sees him at school.
Bai Lin’s favorite type of girl is pretty, especially those with great charisma; once he sets his sights on someone, it’s really hard to escape.
If Bai Lin really wanted to mess with Liu Xiyue, Xiang Wenyi would truly despise him even more.
“Hmm? Is that so?”
Liu Xiyue thought back. Although she hadn’t paid attention to Bai Lin, she hadn’t heard anything about this at school either.
“Host, after you transferred here, Bai Lin gave up his life of crime and warned those who knew about her gossip that if they spread bad news to you, they’d be in big trouble. That’s why you haven’t received any negative news about Bai Lin.”
Liu Xiyue: She didn’t know what to say…
Bai Lin also fell for Liu Xiyue. He was originally a womanizing hoodlum, but from the moment he saw Liu Xiyue, he became the most devoted person.
But there was nothing she could do; Liu Xiyue only loved Song Shudi, and even if the world collapsed, that wouldn’t change.
“Okay, thank you, I understand.” Liu Xiyue smiled and nodded to Xiang Wenyi in thanks.
No matter what, this girl’s intentions were good.
Xiang Wenyi’s face flushed.
Although she was straight… the senior was really too beautiful…
After saying goodbye to Xiang Wenyi, Liu Xiyue got into the car to go home.
…Night…
After Liu Xiyue got home, it was already 10 PM. She took a hot shower; the large white bathrobe couldn’t hide her delicate collarbones, and her wet hair fell freely over her rounded shoulders, creating a vibrant and alluring scene. She dried her hair until it was about 70-80% dry and leaned against the bed to rest for a while.
“By the way, what class is Bai Lin in?” Liu Xiyue fumbled with her phone. Song Shudi should be in Bai Lin’s old class now, but it had been so long that she had forgotten which class Bai Lin was in.
“He’s been chasing you for ten years, and you can’t even remember his class.” 719 felt sorry for Bai Lin; of all people he could like, he had to fall for Liu Xiyue.
“I only care about Song Shudi.” Liu Xiyue’s eyes darkened, a strong possessiveness appearing in them.
She only wanted Song Shudi; she wouldn’t even glance at anyone else.
“Science Class 30.”
Even 719 remembered.
“Class 30…it’s so far away, it’s inconvenient to see her.” Liu Xiyue complained, hugging her pillow. Class 30 wasn’t even in the same building as her; she’d have to run from Building A to Building C to see her darling.
“How about I transfer classes?” Liu Xiyue suddenly had an idea, her eyes lighting up.
“How could that be? Building C is all science classes. You’re already a sophomore, do you really want to study science? Besides, Song Shudi will definitely sense your intentions.”
Liu Xiyue was a celebrity in this world, and every move a celebrity made attracted media attention. If she suddenly transferred classes, it would only cause unnecessary trouble, and Song Shudi would definitely sense something, making it harder to get close to her. It might even push them further apart.
“That’s true.” Liu Xiyue turned off her phone, forced to think of other solutions.
Since she couldn’t transfer classes herself, she could only try to create more chance encounters at school, or work on it in student clubs. If she became familiar with them, or found opportunities to interact with them a few times in student clubs, maybe she’d have a chance.
In a daze, Liu Xiyue thought about many things and fell asleep without realizing it.
Late at night, Liu Xiyue dreamed that the person she had been longing for had returned to her side.
“Liu Xiyue, long time no see.” Song Shudi took her hand, his gentle smile making Liu Xiyue swoon.
Liu Xiyue nestled in his arms, her eyes sparkling with spring, her soft, boneless hands climbing up his neck. Her delicate, peach-blossom eyes were filled with Song Shudi. Unable to contain her desire, she longed for a sweet kiss. Just as her lips were about to touch his, Song Shudi pulled away.
“Hmph, why won’t you let me kiss you?” Liu Xiyue was incredibly aggrieved, playfully punching his chest—more like a caress than a punch.
“Do you remember our promise?” Song Shudi patted her head.
“Of course I remember! You said that after your last mission, you would take me home and let me marry you.” Liu Xiyue would never forget; it was her sweetest memory.
It was when they first became a couple, Song Shudi holding her hand at the octagonal table, saying those words. That year, the snow was heavy, and they warmed themselves by the fireplace. Back then, she was truly an innocent little girl, completely devoted to him, trusting Song Shudi implicitly.
Actually, she had wanted to marry Song Shudi long before this, but in the end, Song Shudi disappeared. She could only search for him in this vast world, to find the person who had made that promise to her, and ask him to fulfill that promise and take her home.
“Then wait a little longer, okay? It’ll be soon.” Song Shudi’s voice gradually became faint and ethereal.
“How much longer… Is there anything I can do for you?” Liu Xiyue anxiously grabbed Song Shudi’s arm. In her vision, Song Shudi’s face gradually blurred.
“I… can… go back…”
In the end, Liu Xiyue couldn’t hear what Song Shudi was saying. That face she had longed for disappeared with the morning sunlight.
Liu Xiyue almost struggled to wake up.
After hearing her phone ring, she immediately realized it was just a dream…
Although it was a dream, it felt so real. In the dream, Song Shudi’s every smile and gesture was so clear, and his body temperature was so real, as if the person she loved had truly returned to her side.
Liu Xiyue rubbed her forehead, unable to recall what Song Shudi had said last. Her head still throbbed slightly, even though she had gone to bed quite early last night.
“What’s wrong, Host?” 719 asked.
“I dreamt about her last night.”
“What did you dream about?”
“I dreamt she came back to see me, I dreamt she was holding me, and I wanted to kiss her in my dream.” Saying this, Liu Xiyue felt a little better; after all, she had spent some time in her arms.
“Did you kiss her?”
“No…”
Liu Xiyue said with some regret. Her lover was indeed the embodiment of ice, even avoiding her kisses in her dreams.
