75/Blowing a breeze
10 PM.
You Huai, who was idly scrolling through his WeChat Moments on his phone, suddenly sat up in shock, as if he were on his deathbed.
The latest one.
Dog domain:
—What should I do, friends? She says I'm so annoying.
The video wasn't accompanied by a photo.
In the video, Chen Mian, wearing a light gray sweatshirt, leans against a red and black motorcycle with a winding mountain road behind her. She turns her head away, seemingly trying to avoid the camera.
Holding up his phone, Chen Yu teased her, "Look at me."
Chen Mian used the helmet she was holding in her arms to cover her face and refuse.
"don't want."
The sound of the mountain wind howled through the loudspeaker.
The camera zoomed in, and a hand reached out from behind the lens, lightly flicking the helmet with a 'click' sound. A gentle, smiling voice said, "Girlfriend, don't block people's view."
Chen Mian still didn't let go, only complaining softly, "Chen Yu, you're so annoying."
The person holding the phone chuckled softly.
The video ends here.
You Huai's immediate reaction was: Excuse me, what's the need to be so flirtatious? Who doesn't have a girlfriend?
He then commented: "That's too tactful. Sister Chen should have just pushed you off the mountain and ended it all."
Some people just copied and pasted the comments to join in the fun, while others expressed confusion and asked, "Are you really dating?" Most of them were from Suizhong, and some mutual friends from the two universities commented with ellipses, which was a bit like saying, "Okay, okay, we know you have a girlfriend, stop showing off."
Chi Sheng, who can only play on his phone for half an hour a day, sent a long string of ellipses in the group.
Chi Sheng: I would rather there hadn't been this half hour today.
Chi Sheng: Some people go crazy writing the May 3rd textbook, while others ride their bikes with girls and enjoy the breeze.
Chi Sheng: Damn, double pressure, I should be a rapper instead of a high school senior.
You Huai: ...Are you sure you were in your final year of high school in Suizhong and not in a mental hospital?
You Huai: Be normal, friend, otherwise you'll make me think that being single will drive a man crazy.
You Huai: After all, you're the only dog left in the group.
You Huai: Oh, sorry, I missed it. @Chenyu, this doesn't count as a person, it's a dog that's finally registered.
...
The group chat was in an uproar, and my phone kept buzzing with messages.
Shen Yu completely ignored it and simply tossed it into Chen Mian's bag.
An hour earlier, in the living room of the Grand Mansion, the first thing Shen Yu did after officially gaining a formal title was to take his clothes to the bathroom and take a shower. When he came out, he was still holding his shirt and hadn't put it on yet. His hair was still wet. He stared at Chen Mian, who was watching TV in the living room, for a while before covering his eyes, leaning against the door, and laughing, "Oh, it's not a dream."
The evening news on TV was reporting that the weather in northern Suiyuan would be good for the next week.
Chen Mian looked at him, "Does it feel unreal?"
Shen Yu: "Yes, it is a bit, but it was quite sudden."
"We hadn't been in touch for two months, and then suddenly he came back like this, sending so many messages saying he wanted to see me and that he liked me."
He couldn't help but laugh as he spoke, thinking that Chen Mian was truly amazing. Her combination of moves made him surrender on the spot, completely unable to find her rhythm. And yet, she still claimed that she didn't understand love and couldn't love, when clearly no one understood it better than her.
She completely outmaneuvered everyone, giving them no room to react. If this continues, they'll eventually develop heart disease.
"Chen Mian, you're quite good at this."
Chen Mian was somewhat confused. "What meeting?"
"I'll print out that long string of text you sent me sometime and frame it at home. You can look at it more often and you'll understand what I mean. Seriously, I've already taken a shower and I still feel a bit urge to do it with you. Want to go for a drive?"
The topic changed too quickly.
Chen Mian was stunned. "W-what?"
The person in front of her walked towards her, just one step away, his calf touching her knee, and then he bent down. The sudden closeness made his action a prelude to a kiss. They had done more intimate things before, but the change in their relationship made the word "closeness" seem infinitely innocent.
Shen Yu did it on purpose, his nose brushing against her cheek and close to her ear.
"I said, 'Want to go for a drive? My girlfriend.'"
Chen Mian had overheard Deng Momo and Su Wangqiu calling their boyfriends, using all sorts of different terms of endearment, such as "baby," "stupid," "idiot," and "second dog." When they mentioned their boyfriends to others, they always used "my boyfriend" as a prefix. At that time, Chen Mian just thought that the couples were being a bit too cloying.
But when Shen Yu says the word "girlfriend," it's different; it evokes a feeling of 'So this is what dating is like.'
—Suddenly realized, finally understood, so that's how it is.
"OK."
Then there was simply no way to refuse his request.
She just didn't expect Shen Yu to be so ceremonious. He drove his car from the underground garage to the villa area's private garage, took out the red and black motorcycle, and tossed her a helmet to put on.
"Let's go for a drive."
Chen Mian sat behind him, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist. The warmth she could feel was constantly being dispersed by the howling wind. The streetlights appeared and disappeared from sight like fireflies flitting about.
The evening breeze turned into a typhoon, and they were in the eye of the typhoon, plunged into the endless night amidst the fierce winds.
It felt similar to the scene when I went out for a walk in the wind last time, but it couldn't be repeated.
Chen Yu parked his car by the roadside, took off her helmet, and, as if remembering something, asked her with a smile, "When will the sun come up, girlfriend?"
Chen Mian's breathing was still a little rapid. She didn't quite understand why Shen Yu suddenly asked this question, but she still answered, "In a few more hours. In winter, the sun won't come out until around six or seven o'clock."
Shen Yu nodded. "When will the moon leave?"
"As the night passed—"
Halfway through her sentence, Chen Mian suddenly remembered something.
The exact same problem.
The last time she came here, it was when she asked Shen Yu about it.
When asked when he would go back, he said he would go back when the sun came out. She then asked when the sun would come out, and he answered every question.
Questions and answers came one after another.
In the very end.
She asked.
"Do you want to kiss me, Shen Yu?"
"Want to kiss, girlfriend?"
Chen Mian looked up at him, smiled, and nodded.
"OK."
All questions received affirmative answers.
All the heartfelt wishes eventually received a response.
Everything is changing, but the mountain wind remains the same.
They kissed under the cover of night.
Only the motorcycles had their lights on.

Ah, they're a young couple!
