Gu Yiming suddenly turned pale, clutched his chest with both hands, and the paper roses fell to the ground.

"Is that how you really think of me?" Gu Yiming said, clutching his chest, his voice filled with sorrow.

"Yes!" Jiang Hua's mind was still filled with the image of Gu Yiming kissing that girl. She gritted her teeth and said the word in an unfriendly tone.

"So that's how it is. So that's how it is." Gu Yiming repeated these words, then turned and left.

Jiang Hua had only taken a few steps when a girl rushed out from behind her, bumping into her. The girl then picked up the paper rose in front of Jiang Hua, ran up to her, and took Gu Yiming's arm: "Yiming, I love you! Let's be together!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yiming turned to look at Jiang Hua, who was sitting on the ground, and then glanced at the girl holding his arm beside him. It was the girl with the big eyes.

"Okay." Gu Yiming nodded firmly to the girl, then reached out and took her hand. Their fingers intertwined, they slowly disappeared from Jiang Hua's sight.

"No!!" Jiang Hua exclaimed, sitting up abruptly. Only then did she realize that her face was covered in tears.

"I'm back." Ji Kexin gently pushed open the door, her shoes making a sound as she walked on the floor, and called out loudly into the house.

"Why is no one responding to me? Is it because I came back too late? It seems so. Indeed, it's already 11 PM. I'd better keep my voice down so as not to wake them up," Ji Kexin muttered to herself.

"Shh, keep your voice down, okay? You're disturbing us... You see we're playing games? I'm not going to sleep until we knock out this big boss tonight!" said one of Ji Kexin's roommates.

After saying that, the roommate lay down and went to sleep.

"Pfft, what happened to playing games? What happened to staying up all night?" Ji Kexin chuckled and shook her head helplessly.

After listening to her roommate's words, Ji Kexin slowed down and walked carefully, afraid of making the slightest sound.

Then Ji Kexin walked to her bedside, and just as she put down her bag, she heard... a deafening sound coming from the bed opposite her. This startled Ji Kexin.

"Ah..." Jiang Hua was covered in sweat and was suddenly startled.

Jiang Hua's face was filled with fear.

Hearing Jiang Hua's shout, Ji Kexin was startled and said, "Oh my god, you scared me! If you had given me a heart attack... surely 120 would be closed by now, right? Jiang Hua! What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? Or were you still awake? Why didn't you answer me when I came back?" Ji Kexin initially intended to tease Jiang Hua, but seeing Jiang Hua's strange and blank expression, she immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly went forward to inquire about her condition.

Just as Ji Kexin was about to go over and check on Jiang Hua, Jiang Hua got out of bed and ran to the bathroom without even glancing at Ji Kexin.

Ji Kexin didn't know what had happened and assumed that Jiang Hua simply wanted to go to the toilet, so she didn't follow her.

Jiang Hua ran while crying...

Jiang Hua locked herself in a stall in the restroom. She didn't want her roommates to worry or cause them trouble; she just wanted to cry alone, then secretly wipe away her tears, knowing that nothing had ever happened. Everything was as usual.

Jiang Hua covered her face with her hands, calmed herself down, and composed herself after losing control of her emotions.

Then, she took out her phone and dialed Gu Yiming's number. At that moment, he was the first person she thought of; Jiang Hua wanted some comfort from him to ease her sadness.

The phone rang a few times, but the call wasn't answered.

After a while, Jiang Hua called Gu Yiming again. She missed him and wanted to hear his voice... just a simple voice would be enough. That would make her feel at ease.

After several attempts to dial.

The call finally went through.

"Hey... Yiming, are you asleep?" Jiang Hua asked in a sweet voice.

"Hello."

"It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet? My little darling, staying up late is bad for your skin, please go to sleep!" Gu Yiming's voice was full of affection, which made Jiang Hua feel an indescribable sense of happiness.

"I miss you so much, Yiming." Jiang Hua's face was filled with happiness as she lowered her head and smiled slightly, her cheeks flushed.

“I miss you too. I even dream about you. But you’re still up so late, calling to say you miss me. Did something happen?” Gu Yiming asked.

"I..." Jiang Hua paused, unsure whether she should tell this, or what would happen even if she did.

"What's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Just say it out loud, don't take it out on me! Say whatever you want, I promise I won't say a word back! Come on, it's so hard to keep it inside." Gu Yiming said in a panic. He didn't want Jiang Hua to be sad or feel even the slightest bit wronged, because that would make him sad too.

Gu Yiming suddenly realized. At this moment, what she needed most was a hug. He really wanted to see her.

"Where are you now? I'm coming to find you," Gu Yiming said firmly, his throat bobbing.

Jiang Hua wiped away her tears and said, unaware that she had already turned into a little kitten.

"I just..."

What happened to you just now?

"I just had a dream..."

Jiang Hua told Gu Yiming about her dream in detail...

After a while, the dream ended... but there was no sound from the other side.

"Gu Yiming... Gu Yiming? Where is he? Are you still listening?" Jiang Hua complained, realizing she had been talking to a brick wall the whole time.

Jiang Hua called Gu Yiming's name several times in a row, and cried as she did so...

Gu Yiming felt very sorry for Jiang Hua, but he didn't know how to comfort her. He felt that he had spent too little time with Jiang Hua and felt very sad.

After Jiang Hua called Gu Yiming's name, she finally calmed down and said, "Yiming, I'm tired. I want to sleep. Goodnight!"

"Go to sleep early, it's just a dream, don't take it too seriously, goodnight!"

After Jiang Hua hung up the phone, Gu Yiming belatedly said, "Goodnight, my darling!"

Meanwhile, Ji Kexin noticed that Jiang Hua hadn't returned for so long and started to worry, so she went to the restroom to look for Jiang Hua.

While walking down the street, Ji Kexin ran into Jiang Hua.

"Hey, why did you take so long? What happened?" Ji Kexin asked.

Jiang Hua remained silent.

"Why aren't you saying anything? What happened?" Ji Kexin pressed.

"It's nothing, I just have diarrhea," Jiang Hua replied.

"Why are you out here? Why aren't you asleep so late?" Jiang Hua asked again.

“I was worried about you because you hadn’t come back for so long, so I came out to check on you and ran into you. I was relieved to see that you were alright,” Ji Kexin replied.
