When they first met, you were like a song in the cold south, healing me night after night as I lingered in hell.
Seven-year-old Nan Sheng found Yin Han in a cold alley corner and extended her...
September is the start of the school year.
Early autumn morning.
Even though it wasn't particularly cold, the fog was quite thick, and the chill was gradually building.
A cool breeze blew across Nan Sheng's body, but she didn't feel cold at all, letting herself walk on the campus.
Until they reached the bottom of the boys' dormitory building.
Nan Sheng looked up at the building, her eyes red with tears. In the end, she didn't leave, but instead sat down on a chair downstairs in the boys' dormitory.
Watching the sky slowly turn from darkness to light.
Meanwhile, in a male dormitory upstairs.
Yin Han got up early. For some reason, he couldn't fall asleep. After waking up, he went to the dormitory balcony and looked at the whitening sky in the distance, lost in thought.
As for what he's thinking, only he knows.
Two people, one upstairs and one downstairs, if the sky could speak, it would surely tell them that the person they miss is also missing them.
Yin Han checked the time; it was a little past five, still early. He picked up his laptop and, so as not to disturb his roommates' sleep, sat on the balcony to work.
He glanced at his studio's account balance and then logged out to organize his work.
Once the darkness in the sky had completely dissipated and the sun had slowly risen, Yin Han put away her computer and went to wash up.
He had just come out and was about to change out of his pajamas when he saw his roommate, who had come downstairs as soon as he got up, come in with breakfast.
"Han, the academic genius!" The speaker was Ma Wenyou, who had just come in and put down his breakfast before rushing to Yin Han's side.
Yin Han paused in taking off her shirt and glanced at him.
"Is that your girlfriend down there? She's much prettier in person than in the picture, but how could you bear to have her come to deliver breakfast to you so early in the morning..."
Before Ma Wenyou could finish speaking, he felt a gust of wind in front of him, which blew up a few strands of hair on his bangs. Then the person in front of him had already run out the door.
He said that according to what was said online, how could a top student like Han be willing to do that? He didn't expect that Han was unaware of the situation.
So, does that mean he's a bit ungrateful? His girlfriend brings him breakfast first thing in the morning, and he doesn't even want to get out of bed to get it.
Netizen: You know it but you still say it, it's annoying?
Yin Han ran downstairs at lightning speed. He was on the fourth floor, and it took him less than a minute to get downstairs. As soon as he got down, he saw Nan Sheng sitting on a bench wearing pink pajamas.
Their eyes met, and when Yin Han saw those slightly red eyes, his heart tightened. He took slightly heavy steps and carefully walked towards Nan Sheng.
After seeing Yin Han run downstairs in a panic, Nan Sheng guessed that the boy who had been staring at her must have found out that Yin Han had told him.
Her eyes were already a little moist, but the moment she saw him, tears welled up in her eyes again.
Nan Sheng slowly opened her arms, intending to call out to Yin Han, but then fell silent.
Yin Han could tell from her voice: "Baby Han, I want a hug."
Without any hesitation, he strode over and picked her up like a koala. The moment he touched her, Yin Han felt the chill emanating from her, and his brows furrowed deeply.
He didn't ask her what was wrong, nor did he say anything; he simply held her tightly and walked out.
After Nan Sheng hugged Yin Han, her tears fell even more heavily, quickly soaking Yin Han's shoulder. She deeply inhaled his scent and instantly felt much more at ease.
In her dream, everything he did broke her heart. She felt so heartbroken that she wished he didn't love her so much, so that he wouldn't act this way.
Yin Han carried Nan Sheng to his car, and he was now extremely grateful that he had driven the car in last night.
He unlocked the car door with his fingerprint and got in. He was about to put the person in his arms on the back seat, but the person clung tightly to him and refused to let go.
Yin Han felt heartbroken seeing her sobbing, but he didn't put her down. Instead, he held her in one arm, turned on the car's heater with the other, and then sat down in the back seat with her in his arms.
Nan Sheng straddled Yin Han's lap, still burying her head in his neck, unwilling to look up.
Yin Han held her waist and patted her back repeatedly. When the crying in his arms gradually stopped, he grasped her shoulders and helped her lift her head. When he saw the girl's face covered in tears, his eyes also reddened.
He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips and said softly, "Sweetie, I'm sorry."
Yin Han finally understood why he had been absent-minded and unable to sleep all night. He had clearly felt uneasy, but why hadn't he thought it was her?
Nan Sheng shook her head, her soft voice slightly hoarse: "Han Baobao, could you please not like me so much...?"
Upon hearing Nan Sheng's words, Yin Han felt as if he had been struck on the head, and instantly thought that Nan Sheng no longer wanted to be with him.
She spoke, her voice trembling, "Why...why?"
Was it because he hurt her? Or was it because being with him was exhausting? Or was it because he wasn't strong enough yet?
Nan Sheng sensed his panic, immediately shook her head, calmed down, and told him everything she knew as if it were a dream.
"I had a very, very long dream..."
"So I was scared, so I came downstairs to wait for you right away. That's why I said I didn't want you to like me so much anymore. I feel so sorry for you, and I hate myself in my dream. How could I be so stupid as not to notice you and make you wait for so long?"
Upon hearing this reason, Yin Han finally felt relieved, but then felt a pang of heartache.
I feel sorry for her; I feel sorry that what happened before had such a big impact on her.
"My dear, actually, I never thought you would give me a chance, that you would like me and be with me. So, for me, silently protecting you is also a kind of happiness. I don't feel wronged. Not loving you enough is what feels wronged. But now, I won't be as foolish as Yin Han in my dream. I will bravely pursue you, and I won't just stand by and watch you be with another man."
Because Yin Han now has the confidence that Guai Guai gives him, the confidence that comes with love, he won't be a protector of flowers, but only a knight standing shoulder to shoulder with you.
Yin Han gently stroked Nan Sheng's head, gazing at her with unfathomable affection. Noticing the sadness in her eyes slowly fading, Yin Han could no longer resist kissing her.
It wasn't exactly gentle, but it wasn't fierce either; the kiss was more of an attempt to prove his point.
Nan Sheng didn't struggle at all. Instead, she put her arm around Yin Han's neck and opened her mouth to cooperate with him.
Ambiguous sounds echoed in the small space.
Just as Yin Han was about to let go of the person, he heard words that made him willingly continue to indulge in the feeling: "Han baby, I love you..."
