Chapter 6 006 Springtime Sleepiness and Joy: The Little Cat Still Loves Happiness...
Seeing that the other person was speechless, Xia Mian quickly dismissed the guess.
[Spring drowsiness]: No, you couldn't possibly like Pei Yan.
[Spring fatigue]: After all, there's an old saying, "One should not covet a friend's wife."
[Valuri]: ...
[Spring fatigue]: Just kidding!
[Spring fatigue]: But if I think about it boldly, what's wrong with having Pei Yan as my wife for even a second?
"One should not covet a friend's wife" is just a saying, but the principle is the same.
Moreover, Qinglan is a decent person.
What decent person would secretly like someone while simultaneously creating opportunities for their best friend and their crush to bump into each other?
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Qinglan to have a crush on Pei Yan.
In addition...
Qinglan is now completely oblivious to everything else, focusing solely on her postgraduate entrance exam preparation. Aside from the occasional video of a handsome guy being sent to her by Qinglan, she's generally indifferent to worldly desires.
At this moment, Valuri on the other side fell silent.
Xia Mian's heart tightened. The conversation had stopped on the word "wife." Could this guy be jealous of Pei Yan?
Xia Mian knows that Qinglan is prone to jealousy when it comes to friendships.
When Xia Mian was chatting with Qing Lan, he referred to other friends as "wife." Perhaps the tone was too intimate, because Qing Lan was immediately unhappy and, disregarding the embarrassment, brought up the oath they made when they swore brotherhood ten years ago.
"When we became sworn sisters, we clearly agreed that we would only have one best friend for life and that I would be the only one we would call 'wife'."
Hearing Qinglan's righteous and stern words, Xia Mian responded with a "sweat-wiping" emoji.
Looking back ten years from that year, their sworn brotherhood was entirely a product of two elementary school students being "poisoned" by TV dramas.
It was a sunny afternoon when the two of them went hiking near their homes. For some reason, they suddenly thought of the ancient custom of sworn brotherhood and decided to become sworn sisters.
However, the sworn brotherhood ceremony was clearly mixed up, and the oaths were also a mess. After saying "We do not ask to be born on the same day, month, and year," they said "Our friendship will last forever," and then they brought up "wife."
After kneeling and kowtowing to the mountain, the two secretly decided to mark the anniversary of their sworn brotherhood.
result……
They completely forgot the exact date of that day the following year.
Years later, when the topic of swearing brotherhood on the mountain comes up again, they all instinctively dig their toes into the ground, feeling how silly it was.
But, but...
Their friendship truly lasted a lifetime; not only did they attend the same high school, but they also came to University A together.
The commemoration has ended.
At this moment, Xia Mian felt something was amiss and added a few more words.
[Spring Sleepiness]: Okay, dreaming is over in a second, no jealousy allowed.
[Spring Fatigue]: He's a man, so he can't be a wife.
[Spring fatigue]: Baby, you are my only wife ^O^.
【Valuri】：(Read)
But I didn't reply.
Xia Mian didn't think much of it, assuming that "Qinglan" was busy studying and rarely appeared.
However, after a few days, no matter how many videos of handsome men she sent to "Qinglan" on Douyin, even with coaxing and enticement, "Qinglan" remained completely silent.
The message hasn't even received a read notification anymore; this guy doesn't even bother to check it!
The private messages on Douyin were completely silent, which made Xia Mian almost unable to resist asking Qing Lan about it when she saw Qing Lan's normal expression during lunch in the cafeteria during the day.
When asked if she really didn't watch videos of handsome men anymore, she replied...
Or is she really jealous of Pei Yan because of that word "wife"?
This...this...
It was awkward; it seemed like none of the questions were suitable to be brought up in public, and Xia Mian couldn't bring herself to say it.
After much thought, Xia Mian swallowed all the questions back down, along with the shredded pork noodles.
That evening.
Xia Mian was scrolling through pictures of handsome men before bed, grinning from ear to ear. She subconsciously shared the post with [Valuri], but it was like throwing a stone into the sea, with no response whatsoever.
It suddenly tasted like chewing wax.
Enjoying something alone is definitely not as good as enjoying it with others. Watching videos of handsome men without someone to share the jokes with is pointless.
Xia Mian simply turned off Douyin and switched to Xiaohongshu. The precise push notifications on the homepage were indeed very accurate and hit the nail on the head.
"Best Friend Profile Pictures | Romantic Couple Profile Pictures | Super Cute!"
The cover features a cartoon cat head on a pink background. Xia Mian clicked on it and flipped to the second page, which had a cartoon dog head on a blue background.
Happy kittens and puppies, they suit her and Qinglan so well!
Without hesitation, Xia Mian immediately messaged the blogger to request the original image, changed the pink kitten into her WeChat profile picture, and then sent another profile picture to Qinglan.
"Honey, let's change our profile pictures to something new!" Xia Mian tentatively suggested. "I've already changed them!"
Qinglan across from her hadn't slept either; she changed her profile picture almost instantly and replied, "Yay! I've changed mine too!"
This scene is truly delightful!
I knew it! My best friend is easy to please.
Xia Mian happily opened Douyin (TikTok), and changed her profile picture again, casually adding a friendly reminder: "Qinglan".
[Spring fatigue]: Remember to switch your Douyin account too.
【Valuri】：?
"Qinglan" is indeed better now and has started talking on Douyin, but she seems a little confused.
Xia Mian didn't mind making things clearer.
[Spring Fatigue]: Remember to change your profile picture.
【Valuri】: Why?
[Spring Fatigue]: What do you mean why? We're a couple, we've already changed our WeChat profile pictures, so of course we have to change our Douyin profile pictures too.
[Spring Fatigue]: Have you heard? Best friends who change their profile pictures to matching ones will have a better relationship and a wonderful connection, allowing them to have a telepathic connection!
Stop for a while.
[Spring fatigue]: Okay, that was just a joke.
They paused for a while.
[Spring fatigue]: Don't you like it?
[Spring Sleepiness]: I think it's quite cute QAQ
【Valuri】: Hmm.
[Spring fatigue]: Hmm?
【Valuri】: Cute.
[Spring Fatigue]: Of course! Don't you even know who picked it?! (Proudly hands on hips.jpg)
A few minutes later, [Valuri] finally changed her profile picture after much hesitation.
Xia Mian discovered that Douyin profile pictures seem more interesting; they're round and chubby, unlike the square ones on WeChat.
[Spring Sleepiness]: La la la~ I'm a happy little cat! (Left hook! Right hook! Uppercut! Lowercut! Sweep kick! Roundhouse kick! Antelope kick! Goat jump!)
Summer sleep expresses its admiration for the avatar in this way, like a bouncy little kitten.
【Valuri】: You're really loud and boisterous.
The focus of summer hibernation shifts—
[Spring Fatigue]: You're a happy little dog! Come and chatter away with me.
【Valuri】: How?
【Valuri】: Do you want me to do a set of radio calisthenics for you too?
Spring fatigue: cough cough.
[Spring fatigue]: I'm outta here.
【Valuri】: Don't run away yet.
[Spring fatigue]: What?
【Valuri】: It's going to rain tomorrow morning, remember to bring an umbrella.
September in the southern part of the city saw quite a bit of rain.
[Spring drowsiness]: Okay.
[Spring fatigue]: My sweet wife, mwah, goodnight.
【Valuri】: ...Good night.
It was all because of Valuri's weather reminder that Xia Mian was half asleep before going to sleep, thinking about Pei Yan, who had shared a transparent umbrella with her a few days ago.
How romantic, like something out of an idol drama! Summer's memories alone are enough to make her blush, and then she drifts off to sleep.
The scene in my dream was the same, with the sunset and Pei Yan.
But for some reason, the rain in the dream never stopped, and they sat together on the steps watching the sunset.
The distant sunset and Pei Yan nearby both felt so real, so real that she could stand close to him and feel the warmth of his shoulder.
It was a perfectly normal dream, but she was so nervous that she didn't dare turn her head to look into Pei Yan's eyes.
But at some point, the dream stopped being conventional and started becoming bizarre and fantastical.
Sitting side by side, she and Pei Yan transformed into cartoon-like kittens and puppies.
The view before me was no longer the library terrace, but an endless sea, where the sky and sea almost met.
The kitten and puppy sometimes look out to sea together, and sometimes chase and play on the beach.
Up to this point, the dream city was still relatively peaceful and serene.
until……
The kitten started throwing left hooks and right hooks.
And the puppy started doing the eighth set of radio calisthenics...
Summer was woken up by the second alarm; she had to attend an 8 a.m. class this morning.
After hurriedly getting up and washing up, she went out and found that it was indeed drizzling outside. Luckily, "Qinglan" reminded her that she hadn't forgotten to bring an umbrella.
Holding an umbrella, she went to the cafeteria and bought soy milk and steamed buns. As she walked and ate, she was still reminiscing about her dream from last night.
What a...wonderful dream.
But she clearly swapped cat and dog matching profile pictures with Qinglan, so why were she and Pei Yan the ones who turned into cats and dogs in her dream?
After thinking it over, she figured it was probably because she kept thinking about Pei Yan before going to sleep, and what she thought about during the day, she dreamed about at night.
Having had a strange dream, Xia Mian was bursting with the urge to share. After swallowing the last bite of her steamed bun, she freed her hands and wanted to tell Qing Lan about it.
She had originally opened WeChat, but then remembered that the cat and dog topic had ended on Douyin last night, so she started keeping everyone in suspense via private message on Douyin.
[Spring Fatigue]: I dreamt of Pei Yan last night.
Xia Mian was focused on waiting for someone to ask her questions, but the other party remained completely silent.
Remembering that this was the time when Qinglan was reciting her lessons in the morning, Xia Mian calmly accepted the other person's composure.
People who are focused on preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam are really good at enduring things; they seem immune to all gossip when they're studying.
She also had to cue the process herself.
[Spring Fatigue]: Aren't you going to ask me what I dreamed about specifically?
【Valuri】: What did you dream about?
[Spring Fatigue]: That's a sloppy excuse, but I'll reluctantly tell you! Actually, it's...
[Spring Fatigue]: I dreamt that Pei Yan turned into a dog.
[Valuri]: ...
[Spring Fatigue]: Humans and dogs are different, so I can't like Pei Yan in my dreams anymore (shrugs regretfully).
[Spring fatigue]: Haha, just kidding.
[Spring Fatigue]: I've turned into a cat too, and we're doing parkour together on the beach!
[Spring Sleepiness]: (Blushing slightly) Happy Kitten still loves Happy Puppy!
If it were yesterday, the happy puppy she mentioned seemed to refer to Qinglan, who had changed her profile picture.
But at this moment, she was specifically referring to Pei Yan, who had turned into a puppy in her dream.
The person on the other end clearly knew as well, and suddenly said something casually.
【Valuri】: The kitten looks happy, but is the puppy really happy?
[Spring Fatigue]: Are you unhappy? He even has his own insights into watching the sunset.
【Valuri】: Perhaps it is because of unhappiness that we have insights.
[Spring drowsiness]: Ah.
【Valuri】: And he might really want to ask the kitten how it has always been happy?
[Spring drowsiness]: Hmm.
[Spring fatigue]: Even kittens aren't always happy.
[Spring fatigue]: But, but...
[Spring fatigue]: The kitten always encounters things that make her happy.
[Spring fatigue]: For example, beef balls, Cantonese roast meat rice, or the last braised pork bun you bought in the morning.
【Valuri】: It's all food?
[Spring fatigue]: Cough cough, there's more.
[Spring fatigue]: For example, perfect experimental data, or a perfect GPA.
Spring fatigue: For example, the sunset, or the drizzle...
[Spring fatigue]: For example, Pei Yan.
