When the minute hand and the hour hand both reach the number 12.
Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian had already lain down.
The two people are facing opposite directions, one to the left and the other to the right.
Even though there was a difference in elevation between the sleeping areas, and even though there was a distance of about two meters between them, they could still feel each other's temperature.
The lights were turned off.
The moonlight was also blocked out by the curtains.
The room was pitch black.
This was the first time Lu Yibei had slept in such close proximity with a girl of the same age since kindergarten.
The sound of waves crashing against my ears to the north of the land.
This is white noise playing on his phone.
Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian are both the type who can't sleep well without making a fuss.
“…Abei.”
Ji Qingqian called out to him from above.
Lu Yibei and Lady Ji had just had a casual chat at night. There were no exciting topics or anything particularly remarkable.
They simply talked about some minor past events that neither of them knew about.
For example, Ms. Ji studied in northern China until junior high school, and only returned to her hometown of Erbin for high school.
Lu Yibei's ancestral home is in Jiahe; his grandparents still live there...
Such as.
The two of them gradually explored each other's past.
The topics are always endless, with countless little details to discuss.
Lu Yibei still had a lot to say to Ji Qingqian, but when the latter tried to bring up the topic again, he closed his eyes and replied as if he were dozing off.
"…Um."
It was drowsy, as if it were about to fall asleep.
He has to get up early tomorrow. He doesn't have classes or military training in the morning, so it's easy for him. But it's different for the female warrior.
Ji Qingqian didn't call Lu Yibei again. After hearing his sleepy reply, Ji Qingqian closed her eyes as well.
Today, whether it was Zhou Zhou or his father's phone call later, it must have been a heavy burden for Abei. I'm just glad he was able to sleep.
Although she still had so much to say to Ah Bei…
But this is fine for now, let Ah Bei get a good night's sleep.
Lu Yibei and Ji Qingqian both understood that they could be unrestrained with each other, but they also needed to know how to restrain themselves.
Because love is restraint.
...
The alarm clock rang, shattering the waves.
Ji Qingqian was a little confused.
Actually, white noise had long since disappeared; she just had a dream accompanied by the sound of white noise waves.
In her dream, she was barefoot on the beach, with Ah Bei in front of her.
He held her hand, and the two walked together.
It's like wanting to walk the entire coastline.
Ji Qingqian opened her eyes, but didn't see the ceiling.
Something was blocking her view.
She touched her forehead and took off a sticky note that was stuck to it.
"Wake up first, I'm going out to buy something, I'll be right back. - North"
Ji Qingqian got up and glanced at the straw mat under the bed; sure enough, it was empty.
Ji Qing smiled faintly.
Ah Bei left a sticky note but didn't send her a message on her phone, probably because he was worried that she would be scared if she saw that he wasn't there at first glance.
Sticky notes are much more intuitive.
The first thing she would definitely see is the sticky note on her forehead.
"Abei's handwriting is so beautiful..." Ji Qingqian muttered.
She was not very knowledgeable and couldn't identify the style of the calligraphy, but the strokes, whether horizontal or vertical, all had sharp points, and the characters were rather tall and slender, much like the person he was.
Ji Qingqian folded the sticky note up to make it thin, then pried open the phone case a little and stuffed it inside.
She peeked out the window through the curtains; it was still early, almost six o'clock.
The rising sun is a vibrant red.
The dazzling light made Ji Qingqian feel even more cheerful.
She had thought she would have a hard time falling asleep last night.
Firstly, it was an unfamiliar place, and secondly... although she and Lu Yibei were not strangers, after all, Abei was a boy, and she had never, and never even thought, about sleeping in the same room with a boy.
But surprisingly, Ah Bei was able to give her a sense of security.
She slept soundly.
and…
She bit her lip and looked at the bed she was sitting on, as well as the straw mat under the bed.
This is still where Ah Bei lives.
She rolled off the bed and lay down on the bamboo mat.
Is this how Abei slept yesterday?
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth turned up even higher, and her heart pounded as if a deer were running through it.
She rolled from one side of the mat to the other.
Then roll back to that side from the other side.
I went back and forth several times, it was all pointless, but I had a lot of fun.
Then, she keenly heard the sound of a key unlocking the door.
With the creak of the door opening, Ji Qingqian immediately sat up in a duck-like position, but remained on the mat.
"...Heroine, what are you doing?"
Lu Yibei asked as he locked the door.
Ji Qingqian retorted, "What are you doing?"
"I went to buy you a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel," Lu Yibei said. "Luckily, the convenience stores around here open early."
"Don't we have some?" Ji Qingqian said, "Just make do with it."
She has a toothbrush and a cup... she can just use her mouth to drink water. As for a towel, she can just splash water on her face and then wipe it with a tissue, which is just as good.
"We can't always settle for less."
Lu Yibei laughed, "There's always tomorrow."
Then he wondered, "Could I have been wrong?"
...Does the heroine really intend to stay just one night and never come back?
That's a bit awkward.
Ji Qingqian understood the meaning of "always".
She lowered her eyes, and her usually cool face softened with a gentle expression.
“…You’re right,” she said softly.
Lu Yibei hummed in agreement, then said in a serious tone:
"Then, Corporal Ji Qingqian!"
Ji Qingqian has been undergoing military training recently, and she knows the rules and procedures very well. She immediately stands at attention.
"exist."
