(47)
Ye Wenyu pulled her thoughts back from their flight like a kite, realizing it was already two in the morning. She was alone in the dormitory, so quiet she could hear her own breathing. A full moon outside the window, like a silver platter, looked down on her with pity. The dripping sound from the bathroom faucet amplified to an almost louder level. Ye Wenyu opened her eyes wide in terror in the darkness. Loneliness and desolation enveloped her again. She was afraid of meeting Lin Tingfeng again in her dreams, of blood and floating corpses everywhere. The only way to cope was to stay awake. Ye Wenyu sat half-upright on the edge of the bed, opened a book, and forced her eyes open. She didn't know when, but finally, she fell asleep from sheer exhaustion. However, she slept soundly through the night without any dreams.
She woke up the next day to the sound of her phone ringing. When she opened her eyes, she found that it was already bright outside. Her phone was playing a song to remind her that a new day had begun. Surprisingly, she hadn't had any nightmares last night! Ye Wenyu's mood inexplicably improved. She thought to herself that it must be because she was so happy with Brother Wen that nightmares didn't bother her. It seems that as long as a person's heart is strong enough, external people and things cannot affect them.
Who was calling her? So early, could it be her mother? Wen Yu happily picked up her phone and saw that it was Cai Wenchuan calling, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons.
She answered the phone and held it to her ear. It was still nine o'clock in the morning. Wen Gege was calling at this time because he knew she was very bored and lonely in her dormitory, so he was busy arranging things for her.
"Are you awake? Did I disturb you? I was going to call later, but do you remember? Professor Xun invited us to lunch yesterday." It was Brother Wen's gentle and kind voice, like the breeze in March and the sky in April, coming through the receiver and warming her lonely heart.
She smiled sweetly and immediately said, "No, I remember, right away." Because she was so happy, she was a little incoherent. She wanted to say that she was very happy to receive his call. He hadn't bothered her. She remembered that Professor Xun had invited them to dinner yesterday. She got up immediately. She also happily recalled that when she saw the old professor yesterday, he mistook her for Brother Wen's girlfriend. Brother Wen didn't seem to be in a hurry to deny it.
Thinking about it this way made me even happier. Haha, mutual affection is the happiest thing in the world.
Cai Wenchuan laughed and said, "Alright, get dressed and come out."
Ye Wenyu was stunned, somewhat disbelieving. Could it be that he was outside her dormitory at this very moment?
She wanted to ask him on the phone, but he probably thought she was getting dressed and hung up considerately.
Ye Wenyu had no choice but to get up in a hurry, put on her clothes, and pick up her mouthwash cup to go to the bathroom to brush her teeth. As she passed the window, she lifted a corner of the curtain and, sure enough, saw Cai Wenchuan standing under the camphor tree in the girls' dormitory with a bag in his hand. He seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time, as he kept shifting his weight from his left foot to his right foot, probably because he was a little tired.
Upon discovering this, Wen Yu immediately cheered and quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth. The girl in the mirror had snow-white skin, her eyes shone like stars, her cheeks were rosy, and her complexion was exceptionally good—it was the power of love.
However, when she saw that the birthmark she had painted on was a bit blurry in the mirror, she hesitated for a moment, then painted it on again and put on a mask before going out.
Wen-gege didn't seem to care about the birthmark on her face. Besides, everyone on campus knew her, and if she suddenly wiped it off, she wouldn't know how to explain it to him. For now, she didn't have the intention to explain. She was still afraid of running into Lin Tingfeng again at some point. It's said that looks represent everything, and ugly people don't have love, so the birthmark on her face was her protective color.
Thinking about this, she went out. Cai Wenchuan waved and smiled at her, and she ran to him like a happy little bird. She wanted to jump into his arms, but she remembered that this was a school and he was a teacher there, so she had to try her best to control herself.
Whenever she thought about their identities and the unwritten rules of the university campus, she eagerly looked forward to graduating.
"Here you go—" Cai Wenchuan handed her a cup of hot soy milk and a bag of steamed buns. Ye Wenyu felt warm inside; he had actually been so thoughtful as to buy her breakfast.
Oh my, this is so touching.
She ate her breakfast as she walked alongside him and asked, "Did you eat breakfast by yourself?"
He smiled and said, "I've already eaten."
Ye Wenyu nodded. She was indeed hungry and had slept in late. Now, eating a delicious breakfast, she immediately felt happy.
Cai Wenchuan glanced at her, his face slightly flushed, and said thoughtfully, "Last night, did you... blame me?" His voice was soft, like a dream.
He didn't know how she spent last night. Anyway, after taking her back to her dormitory and returning to his own home, he had a wet dream. In the dream, there were intimate scenes of him and her together. Thinking about those scenes still made him blush, his heart race, and his body feel hot.
Ye Wenyu understood what he meant and couldn't help but laugh. She said softly, "No, I'm very grateful to you now. I'm going to study hard and graduate smoothly. I don't want anything negative to affect me or you."
Last night, she was indeed willful and selfish out of fear. Now that she thinks about it, if she had stayed overnight at Brother Wen's place, and the school found out about it, even if nothing had happened between them, it would definitely have affected Brother Wen's future. The school would think that he had a problem with his professional ethics.
Cai Wenchuan nodded, gazed at her, and gently explained, "You won't have to worry about these things after you graduate—"
