She had been working for a long time, though she didn't really know why she had to. Tomorrow was the holographic imaging assessment, and she should have rested properly.
No matter what, Zhao Xuerou just couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was full of thoughts, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she would start to overthink.
As the night deepened, Ke Bing, the carefree one, slept soundly.
There's no need to say more about Luo Xiaoli; she has excellent grades and a happy love life, so what reason does she have to have insomnia?
It turns out that most people who suffer from insomnia are those whose lives are not going smoothly.
A host of worries welled up in her mind. She couldn't just lie down on the bed and drift off to sleep without a care in the world. Instead, she stared blankly into her eyes, wondering if she would just stand there like that until dawn.
After a while, she started thinking about her home in Lanjing.
My mom called me a while ago and said everything is fine here, with plenty of food and lodging, except that the climate is quite different from back home, but she can manage to adapt.
When I call, I mostly talk about the same topics that I've repeated countless times. I can't tell the whole truth about how tough things are. If my mom knew that I have to do six or seven hours of physical training every day, like weighted cross-country running, she would be heartbroken.
Sure enough, after a short while, the words that came through the receiver were: "It would be so much better to just study in Lanjing. Why do you have to go to such a cold place? You're just a little girl, don't think so much. If the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up."
She said "okay, okay" to get through to the end of the call, but the only thing she did was keep her promise to eat properly.
People always have to grow up.
Zhao Xuerou sighed, turned over to the other side of the bed, and changed to a more comfortable position to continue her random thoughts.
This invaluable experience was precious to her otherwise ordinary life.
She'll probably get married eventually, and she'll definitely have a baby. She might as well become an office worker.
Wearing high heels, I live carefree in the city, without worrying about anything. I earn some money to buy groceries and put them in the refrigerator, then drive to pick up my child from kindergarten.
We'll cook a meal together in the living room, while a documentary about the Union's resistance against the invasion plays on TV.
Her little boy pointed at the soldiers in armor on the screen and asked, "Mommy, what's this? It's so cool."
"Oh, this is a defensive weapon created by a faithless man."
What's white?
“Arctic glaciers, very cold places,” she said, holding a spoon to the little boy’s mouth. “Ah~ open your mouth.”
The little boy obediently finished his bite and mumbled, "Mommy is so amazing, she knows everything."
Hearing this, she'll probably smile, thinking to herself, "I not only know... but I've seen it with my own eyes."
When the sky falls, there's always someone taller to hold it up. I've grown a lot now, and I've become that "tall one," holding the line on the Federation's front lines.
When I become a seventy or eighty-year-old woman, my beauty fades, and all my teeth fall out... I'll wear a floral dress and gold earrings, and at night, I'll sit and watch TV, almost falling asleep on the spot.
I'll definitely remember that war in my dreams then.
Lying awake at night, I listen to the wind and rain; in my dreams, I see iron horses and icy rivers.
That does have a certain level of understanding.
Zhao Xuerou found her random thoughts quite amusing. It was three in the morning, and the temperature was dropping. She pulled the blanket up a little, looked up, smoothed her disheveled hair, and rubbed her eyes.
If only I had said yes to Jiang Cheng back in high school, what a beautiful romance it would have been! The shy boy won over the prettiest girl in our class, and we both got into the same university. After university, he devoted himself to scientific research, reaching the pinnacle of his life. Then war broke out, and the beautiful girl stayed put, waiting for the general's triumphant return. After the victory, she proposed to him at the school gate.
After marriage, they lived a sweet life that others envied, having children one after another, giving birth to eight babies.
Before and after his marriage, countless "green tea sisters," "milk tea sisters," young married women, and widows tried to seduce Jiang Cheng, but he remained steadfast and never paid any attention to them.
All I want to do is finish work, go home, and be intimate with myself.
Even more outrageous are the women who actively throw themselves into your arms, all charming and alluring.
Jiang Cheng turned to the woman and said, "Please stay away from me. I already have Xiao Rou. She is the best in the world."
······
As Zhao Xuerou fantasized this far, she laughed until she was dizzy, and the blankets kept shaking in the middle of the night.
Xiao Rou often recalls one thing: she used to dislike Ke Bing very much, but later she found that this woman was not as bad as she had imagined. On the contrary, in many ways, this person's way of handling problems and attitude towards life were worth learning from.
She would always ask Ke Bing why he didn't try harder to win over Jiang Cheng like she did.
Ke Bing was extremely annoyed.
Later, she finally spoke up, in a very serious manner.
She said, "Xiaorou, let me tell you, you'll meet many people in life, and some you just can't be with. Fate plays tricks on you, as if it's deliberately making things difficult for you, and what can you do? But even so, I'm still grateful for the encounters, because on the table of life, every beloved person you've missed is an indispensable side dish..."
What's with Xiao Bing? He always acts so philosophical.
I wouldn't even think about those things.
If you like it, then go for it! What if you manage to snatch it?
This thought came to mind.
Finally, Zhao Xuerou yawned and wiped away two tears that had welled up in her eyes because she was too sleepy to fall asleep.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep at 3:20 a.m.
