Chen Xi felt like she was really sick lately.
She had a dream while sleeping at night. In the dream, she accidentally stepped into a clear pool among the clouds, like a hot spring. The thick mist rising around her was so dense that it blocked her vision, leaving her unable to find any way out.
The young girl was barefoot, and stepping on the slippery ground was quite dangerous. She had to do her best to steady herself and keep moving forward.
A sound of water gradually echoed, and not far away, a man's silhouette slowly erged from the mist. Although he was subrged in the water with only half of his body visible, the solid muscles on his back were enough to indicate that he was a well-built man.
Chen Xi instinctively swallowed and tried to approach, asking, "You... hello... may I ask where this is..."
The man's figure remained unchanged, seemingly not hearing her inquiry. Chen Xi had to raise her voice and ask again.
But the man showed no intention of turning around to acknowledge her.
The young girl didn't want to waste ti on him, so she turned around, intending to leave and continue searching for an exit.
Just then, the sound of water echoed again, and the muscular figure unexpectedly stood up without warning, his back to her, revealing a nearly perfect form akin to an ancient Greek statue.
Chen Xi was stunned. It was her first ti seeing a man's body up close like this—the broad back, the smooth lines, and the tall physique. Even just a back view was enough to shock her young heart.
In an instant, her face flushed red.
Instinctive shyness forced the young girl to turn her head, stifling a cough of embarrassnt, and she softly said, "Sorry... I didn't an to peek..."
"It's okay."
The man's voice was familiar, but Chen Xi couldn't recall it at the mont.
The magnetic voice carried gentle words, making her feel as if just listening could provide a sense of security, even causing her usual self-protection asures to fail.
Under Chen Xi's gradually widening eyes, he slowly turned around, revealing a face the young girl was extrely familiar with.
"Little Xi..."
Chen Xi stood frozen, looking at Yan Feng in front of her, unable to move for a long ti.
She watched as he stood up, stepped onto the ground, left the pool, and stood before her.
He reached out, lifting her chin, forcing her to raise her flushed face and et his deep eyes.
"Little Xi..."
…………
The next morning.
Chen Xi woke up from her sleep, feeling groggy, trying to recall last night's dream...
And then, she was instantly awake.
She widened her eyes in shock, looking at her own delicate, fair hands, full of disbelief.
Her neck moved up and down, and she quickly grabbed a corner of the quilt, trembling as she lifted it slightly, then pressed it back down imdiately.
In an instant, her mind was in chaos.
Just then, a man's gentle voice ca from outside the room: "Little Xi, it's ti to get up. If you don't, I'll be late!"
"Coming!!"
Chen Xi hurriedly shouted, then frantically tidied up the sheets, rolling them up and stuffing them into the cabinet before finally breathing a sigh of relief. She shook her head vigorously, slapped her face a couple of tis, and then walked out the door.
At university, Chen Xi found herself in an unprecedented state.
The morning classes were full, but she couldn't focus at all. She just played the role of an invisible person, hiding in the corner, not saying a word.
The paper on her desk was covered in scribbles, chaotic lines with no discernible pattern, yet in the young girl's eyes, they seed to co to life, moving back and forth, fitting together to form a character that looked like the word "wood" with sothing beside it...
With a tearing sound, the paper was completely shredded, startling the surrounding classmates, but the young girl remained seated.
"Xi Xi! Xi Xi!"
Soone softly called out to Chen Xi, sowhat annoyingly, but it allowed her to distract herself from thinking about that na.
Chen Xi turned her head to see Xue Lan beside her, looking anxious, and only then did she realize she had unknowingly beco the focus of countless eyes.
The clash of desk and chair made a harsh sound as the young girl suddenly stood up, looking at the teacher on the podium.
Fortunately, the teacher didn't ask her any questions, seemingly just wanting to remind her not to be distracted, and then waved her to sit down.
That was the only interruption all morning.
The rest of the ti, Chen Xi kept thinking about all sorts of strange things.
At first, she just tried to understand what this weird thought in her brain was, how to correct it, how to clear it.
But as she thought, sohow, the question in her mind beca last night's dream, and the man's face appeared before her eyes, startling her and causing her cheeks to flush.
Chen Xi turned her head to look out the window, trying to let the cool autumn breeze take away her inner restlessness.
Outside, the sparse shadows of trees were not like sumr; in the season of ripe fruits, there were more fallen leaves. Chen Xi's gaze wandered among the poplars on the road, finally landing on a striking bright red.
It was a beauty that only appeared in autumn, but she only glanced at it before quickly looking away, turning her gaze back to the podium.
Because... that was a maple tree, and it was also the na of the person who appeared in her dream last night.
The morning passed slowly, but fortunately, she regained so rationality in the end, able to absorb knowledge, making it not too unbearable.
As the end of class approached, Xue Lan suddenly leaned over, full of mystery, and whispered, "Xi Xi! You seem a bit off today. Is there... sothing on your mind?"
Chen Xi's heart skipped a beat, but she calmly replied, "Is there?"
"There is!"
Xue Lan imdiately laughed at her words, earning a glare from the teacher, causing her to shrink back into her seat. After a while, she moved closer again and continued, "Xi Xi, we're all girls here, we understand, we understand~ It's okay if you don't want to tell . Let's go have lunch first?"
