Chapter 48: Chapter 48: I Hope You Can Rember
Zhang Yuan couldn’t help but ask, “I’m a bit confused, why did you still have to do this at the end? Isn’t this just adding unnecessary emotional burden on yourself?”
Han Ziyue thought for a mont and replied, “Three thousand years from now, I will have already disappeared from this world. If at that ti, soone still rembers , and it’s in another ti and space, don’t you think that’s quite aningful?”
Zhang Yuan was silent.
He felt that this idea was a bit pretentious yet sohow made so sense…
After a while, he plucked up his courage and slowly crawled out of the bathroom.
Han Ziyue just stared at his shoulders, laughing non-stop.
...
Then she hopped and jumped into the bathroom.
Zhang Yuan wondered if he should take the opportunity to run away while she was taking a bath?
Yes, that’s exactly what he should do!
Run!
Hey, where are my pants?
“…I brought your clothes and pants into the bathroom,” Han Ziyue said with a laugh, seeing Zhang Yuan searching for sothing through the frosted glass. “If you try to run away while I’m taking a bath, you might have to risk running around in a bathrobe.”
Zhang Yuan was instantly speechless.
He felt… that he was so nervous he was about to explode.
He quickly picked up his phone and started solving so calculus problems to calm his restless heart.
But with all his blood rushing to his lower body, his brain was indeed affected, and the usually simple problems felt cumberso; he couldn’t solve them for a long ti.
“Studying is not the cure for everything… This won’t do, I must think of sothing!”
Think of sothing!
After a few minutes, Han Ziyue erged from the bathroom, her hair wet, with a few fine strands clinging to her smooth, fair neck. A freshly bathed girl always exuded a fresh beauty, her skin shimring as if water could be squeezed from it.
She rushed over, grinning, like a joyful deer.
“This… isn’t right!”
Zhang Yuan trembled and stuttered, “If we don’t do anything tonight, it might leave a deeper impression. I really an it!”
Seemingly seeing through Zhang Yuan’s true thoughts, Han Ziyue said with a smile, “I’m not asking you to take responsibility, why be scared?”
“I’m not scared.”
“Then why are you trembling? I really don’t need you to take responsibility.”
“It’s not about taking responsibility; I just don’t think it’s right… Maybe we should just hug… Just a hug, wouldn’t that be nice and harmonious?”
Han Ziyue frowned and pouted, “Don’t you think you’re being too much? I’m putting myself out there! You think I’m not shy? I get shy too.”
Zhang Yuan hurriedly explained, “If I had known you longer, had more contact, maybe I would think this is naturally the next step. But now… it feels too sudden.”
Han Ziyue’s eyes began to redden, and she let go of his arm, wiping her eyes non-stop, “You must think I’m too cheap, just throwing myself at you like this, that’s why you’re acting this way!”
“…I have dignity too, you know. I have admirers, but I never keep them as backups! I’ve only had one boyfriend, my private life isn’t chaotic like you imagine!”
Seeing her burst out, Zhang Yuan weakly said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t think that way…”
“Who would believe that!” Han Ziyue was very angry.
But as she spoke, she began to laugh, her hands cradling her head, observing Zhang Yuan’s awkward expression. “Also, if you were so easily seduced by , I might not like you anymore and would soon forget you…”
“My sister used to say that you are a boy of great principle. Even after you broke up, she still spoke highly of you… Ha-ha, you tremble at the slightest touch, how cute, my taste is indeed not bad!”
She revealed her sharp canine teeth, lying on the bed as if admiring a fresh little apple.
“Wait a minute!”
She suddenly jumped up, rummaging through her bag, “I have a small gift for you, close your eyes quickly.”
“Again?”
Amid the shock, Zhang Yuan felt like he was suffocating.
“It’s a real small gift!” She didn’t keep him in suspense, handing a delicate box to Zhang Yuan.
Upon taking it, he saw it was a specin of a lily with Han Ziyue’s portrait on the right, lifelike and very exquisite.
At the bottom was a signature: “Han Ziyue, 2264.8.1.”
It must have been a plant specin made a few days ago.
She said earnestly, “I hope you will rember .”
“I am just an ordinary person among the masses, without any hope of becoming famous, nor the possibility to be rembered by history.”
“A hundred years from now, I will probably no longer exist in this world; three hundred years from now, any information about would be untraceable, maybe only the na ‘Han Ziyue’ could be found in the family tree.”
“A thousand years from now, maybe even the family tree would be gone. Who would rember an ancestor from a thousand years ago? Everything about would be lost in the cycle of reincarnation.”
Suddenly broaching such a serious subject, Zhang Yuan was stunned, his boiling blood slowly calming down.
The aning of life?
Han Ziyue continued, “I have always thought, whether I ever ca to this world, if there are no traces of my existence, then what’s the point? Is it just for procreation, just for pleasure? A human’s life is so short compared to the entire universe, it’s truly insignificant.”
“I hope you will rember because… you are probably the last person who will know I existed.”
“I hope that three thousand years later, when you awaken from hibernation, you will still retain mories of , um, that’s my only request. Is that okay?”
Zhang Yuan took the lily specin, nodding solemnly, “I promise you, a girl like you really is rare. But, in another ten or twenty years, you might not think like this anymore, perhaps you’ll think today’s you is very naive. Only the you right now would be this sentintal, right?”
Han Ziyue said embarrassingly, “I’m sorry, the future is the future , I know that the future will be smoothed out by reality, but the right now is the real .”
“This thought is actually quite selfish, for you, it’s completely an extra emotional burden.”
Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes, laughing, “So, you want to compensate physically?”
“Yes, I did quite like you when I was a child, hearing that you and my sister broke up, I was happy for a long ti! Physical compensation seems to be no problem.”
“You were in middle school back then, right? Did middle schoolers understand these things?”
“Doesn’t middle school count?”
Zhang Yuan said, “Let’s forget about physical compensation, I am a man of high moral standing and I hope to leave the best last impression on you.”
Han Ziyue leaned next to him, quieting down, “Then, on this long night, what should we do? What do you think is sothing very aningful?”
Zhang Yuan thought for a mont, jokingly said, “On our last evening, how about I teach you so math problems, how about that?”
