(nineteen)

Someone was looking for her? Who could it be? Ye Wenyu looked up, lost in thought. She thought fearfully, "Could it be Lin Tingfeng? In this life, he came to find her a day late, bringing her money and warmth, trying to lure her into a trap?!" Then she thought, "Impossible. In this life, I've never known Lin Tingfeng, never even seen him. So, as long as it's not Lin Tingfeng, I have nothing to be afraid of!"

Just as she was thinking, she heard footsteps, and then the dormitory door was pushed open. The dormitory manager was a very friendly woman in her thirties. She smiled at Ye Wenyu and then stepped aside. A tall young man stood at the door. He was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, and a light blue doctor's mask. However, you could still see that he had delicate features, fair skin, and a pair of big eyes that shone like obsidian. Because he was good-looking, he was like a ray of light, instantly illuminating the dormitory where the lights were not on.

Ye Wenyu stood up blankly, her hands covered in laundry detergent foam. Who was he? Why was he looking for her? Her roommate, who had been lying in bed happily playing mobile games, also poked her head out, dropped her phone, and stared blankly at the tall, handsome man at the door.

Because there are simply too few handsome guys like that.

"Wenyu, Xiaoyu—" The man at the door still didn't move, calling Ye Wenyu's name. Perhaps because it was a girls' dormitory, he was a little embarrassed, as his face seemed a bit red. His gaze was originally searching the dormitory, but when he saw Ye Wenyu standing up, his eyes fixed on her.

His once calm eyes now held warmth, even a hint of a smile.

Perhaps because the other person was so handsome and had come to see her, Ye Wenyu was a little nervous. She stammered, "I am... and you are—"

He was wearing a mask, and so was she. In this life, to avoid Lin Tingfeng, she deliberately made herself look ugly. Behind her mask was a huge, ugly birthmark created with makeup. When she took a shower earlier, she took off her mask in front of the bathroom mirror. Because of the hot weather during the day, she had sweated a lot, and the birthmark had become somewhat blurred. She had to redo it with waterproof makeup. If she took off her mask now, it would probably scare a lot of people.

Although life is very difficult and she still doesn't have the money for tuition, she remains determined to stay away from Lin Tingfeng. Money can make life easier and happier, but she doesn't need it if she loses her freedom and family. She doesn't have money now, but as long as she perseveres, studies hard, and completes her studies smoothly, she will definitely be able to earn it with her own hands in the future. Because Q University is the best university in the country, if she gets into Q University and graduates, she will definitely be able to find a high-paying job.

Ye Wenyu stared blankly at the man who had come to find her, her mind racing. Who was he? In any case, it couldn't be Lin Tingfeng. Because of the deep impression she had of him from her past life, she would recognize him even if he were burned to ashes, let alone if he was wearing a mask. Moreover, Lin Tingfeng only wore black clothes, while the handsome man in front of her was wearing a white shirt, looking as good as a man in a painting. Could he be him?

When Ye Wenyu realized who he was, her heart immediately started pounding wildly, as if a rabbit was living in her chest. She excitedly examined him closely.

The other person smiled and said gently to her, "Come out for a moment."

Ye Wenyu nodded, and as if drawn by a powerful force, she quickly walked out.

The two walked out of the girls' dormitory in silence. Ye Wenyu followed behind the young man, secretly watching his tall and imposing figure. She felt nervous and uneasy. Was it really him? But after thinking about it carefully, she felt it was unlikely.

Because they hadn't seen each other for so many years!

The two finally left the girls' dormitory and walked onto the path outside. Magnolia trees lined both sides, and the moon hung high in the treetops. The man in the white shirt suddenly stopped and turned around. At that moment, the moonlight was like water, pouring down from the treetops. He stood there in the dreamlike moonlight, looking as handsome as a celestial being descended to earth.

Ye Wenyu stared blankly, wondering if this was a dream.

The young man gazed at her, seemingly a little excited but trying to control himself. After what appeared to be a long time, seeing her standing there blankly, neither speaking nor moving, he couldn't help but laugh. He stretched out his slender, white fingers, removed the mask from his face, smiled brightly at her, and said, "Xiaoyu, do you still recognize me?"

Xiaoyu? He called her Xiaoyu in an extremely familiar tone, as if they had known each other for many years. Ye Wenyu, who had been looking down, suddenly raised her head and saw a handsome face in the moonlight. It was familiar yet unfamiliar. It looked somewhat like Cai Wenchuan in her memory, but not quite. Her older brother Wen was very handsome when she was a child, but he wasn't as tall as the person in front of her, and his skin wasn't as fair. Her older brother Wen was very handsome when she was a child, but he didn't have such delicate features as the man in front of her. The man in front of her was like a male protagonist who had walked out of an anime. His skin was whiter than the moonlight and more delicate than a woman's.

Seeing the shock and doubt on Ye Wenyu's face, Cai Wenchuan smiled gently, strode up to her and stopped, then reached out and patted her head. He was 1.8 meters tall, and she was only 1.65 meters tall, so when he patted her head, it was like an adult patting a small child.

This is probably the cutest height difference ever.

His palm was gentle, and when he touched her head, all the familiar, warm feelings from her childhood came back to her.

Ye Wenyu looked at him with suspicion and asked, "You...you're Brother Wen?!"

Cai Wenchuan laughed and said gently to her, "Who else could it be but me? Don't you believe me? Do you want me to show you my ID?"

Ye Wenyu smiled, but at the same time, tears welled up in her large, bright eyes. She reached out to wipe away the tears that streamed down her face, and called out to Cai Wenchuan in a choked voice, "Brother Wen—"

Ah, in this life, she never expected to meet him so soon! She originally planned to find him after she had solved her tuition and living expenses, but unexpectedly, he took the initiative to come to her!

Ye Wenyu felt a warm glow in her heart, a mixture of joy and emotion. She knew that in her past life, he had died tragically and prematurely because of her; she owed him so much!
