Chapter 26: No Longer Nights, No More Dreams



"Hey, don't go." Taozi immediately stopped me.

I turned around and looked at her playfully: "Why, you promised me?"

"No... I didn't agree." Taozi looked very awkward: "You are an educated person after all, why are you acting like a little hooligan..."

"Hey, girl, that's not nice to say." I said with a straight face, "Why can't a little gangster be cultured?"

Maybe my stern face scared her, Taozi trembled slightly: "You, don't be angry. You are right, little hooligans can be educated. But you have received higher education, you shouldn't be so vulgar in words and deeds."

"Why are your words and actions vulgar?" I said, "The Book of Songs says: 'A fair lady is the ideal match for a gentleman.' Even the ancients could boldly confess their love to the girls they loved, so why can't I woo the girl I love? Shakespeare also said: 'Time is running out, come and kiss me, my fair lady of twenty, youth is fleeting.' I am in the prime of my youth, so of course I can choose to be with the girl I like!"

Taozi was stunned by this series of words, and I could see that her admiration for me deepened. I said proudly, "Whether you want to be my girlfriend or not, it's up to you. Now I'm going back to continue reading Shakespeare's works." In fact, I was going back to wash my feet.

"Okay, okay." Seeing me leaving, Taozi said anxiously, "I'll be your girlfriend, but you can't play tricks on me!"

I didn't expect it to be so easy to succeed. According to Liu Zihong's information, Taozi is the kind of girl who never talks to boys for more than three sentences. As a result, I just recited a few sentences from Shakespeare and made her my girlfriend? Happiness came too suddenly, and I was a little dizzy. This was my first time having a girlfriend, and the most regrettable thing was that I didn't like her that much.

For a moment, a thought flashed through my mind: Why not just be nice to Taozi? But I rejected this idea immediately. I was pursuing Taozi to win Xia Xue's favor, and my purpose was not pure. How could I continue? I thought to myself: Let's see if I can win back Xia Xue's heart this time. If I can, I will confess my feelings to Taozi and apologize sincerely. If I can't win back Xia Xue's heart, I will tell Taozi the truth and let her kill me or cut me up.

But come to think of it, Taozi probably didn't like me that much. She just wanted someone to give her some advice on Shakespeare's works.

Thinking of this, I felt less guilty, so I sat down with a smile on my face. "That's right, as my girlfriend, we can discuss Shakespeare, Alexandre Dumas, and other things together."

Taozi blushed, "I haven't been in love yet, so I don't know what it feels like. But don't you like Xia Xue from your class? You even confessed to him in front of the whole school. Why do you like me now? I always feel that it's a bit unreliable."

"I'm a passionate playboy." I really felt like I was about to vomit, but I persisted: "I hope to have a warm harbor. From the last incident, you should be able to see that I am a passionate person. Are you ready for my love for you? 'Love is like charcoal. Once it burns, you have to find a way to cool it down. Let it burn freely, and it will burn a heart.'" I quoted another line from Shakespeare's poem.

Taozi nodded: "You are awesome. You always use Shakespeare's words just right. This shows that you really have profound attainments."

"Of course." I said happily, "His sentences are very beautiful." I don't usually have the chance to say this. I still remember when I was in junior high school, I copied Shakespeare's love poems into a notebook, and Zou Yang took it to the podium and humiliated me in public. His words are still vivid in my mind: "Just because you want to fall in love? What girl is blind to fall in love with a piece of trash like you..." At that time, I could only lower my head and endure it silently.

But now, I have a girlfriend thanks to these love poems, although Taozi and I both had impure motives. But a couple was finally born in Chengnan High School. That night, Taozi and I stayed in her classroom for a long time. We talked happily about Shakespeare and his literary views. We got along very well and there was never a dull moment. We talked a lot. If the teaching building had not been locked, we could have talked for a whole night.

"I'll pick you up for dinner tomorrow morning." I patted Taozi's head downstairs of the girls' dormitory.

"Yeah." Taozi's face was still red, and she looked very cute: "Then I'll wait for you."

I don't know why, but my heart suddenly moved. Thinking that there is someone waiting for me in this high school, that feeling is really special and warm...

When I got back to the dormitory, it was almost time for the lights to go out. My roommates asked me, "How's it going, Hao? Did you get Taozi?"

I said with great pride: "Of course, how could I fail when Brother Hao took action?" But remembering that I failed last time when I confessed my feelings to Xia Xue, I could only hum and laugh to cover it up. Fortunately, my roommates did not take it too seriously.

"Brother Hao is the best!" "I knew Brother Hao would be fine!" "Brother Hao is the first one in our dormitory to have a girlfriend!" "Brother Hao, you were madly in love with Xia Xue a few days ago, and now you are about to get a new life and find a girlfriend. You are awesome!" "Brother Hao is the spiritual banner of our dormitory. We should follow Brother Hao's example!"

When the dormitory members were chattering, the door of the dormitory was suddenly pushed open. At this moment, the lights went out and the dormitory was dark.
