Send flowers
"Lin Yuan, I want to give you flowers too."
Xu Feifei happily handed the newly arrived flowers to Lin Yuan, carefully observing his expression. "I chose all these flowers; the shop owner arranged and packaged them. I only bought the pretty ones, and..."
She glanced at Su Huan, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I don't know anything about flower language, but I asked the shop owner. Every variety of flower here has a meaning associated with it. It seems even the heavens know I like you."
Lin Yuan lowered his head, smelled the flower, and smiled shyly. The smile was small, but it was clear that he was embarrassed.
Xu Feifei was very satisfied with the sight. She then handed over the blue plumbago bonsai in her hand, "There's another one here. I just saw it blooming when I was about to leave the flower shop. Seeing it reminded me of you. You were standing under the blue plumbago, and when the sunlight shone down, I felt like you were radiating a soft glow."
"Soft light? What does that mean?"
"You're like someone who stepped out of a painting; our dimensions have been broken. I must say, Lin Yuan, you look good whether you're dressed as a woman or a man."
Lin Yuan smiled helplessly, having no recollection of this. He was just annoyed that Nangong Ye was alone with her back then, but that didn't matter now; he knew that Feifei liked him.
"Enough, enough! When are you two going to stop flirting? Don't you care about the life or death of this single dog?!"
Su Huan protested vehemently, already feeling frustrated about not being able to go back, and seeing the two of them showing off their affection only made her more upset.
Xu Feifei raised an eyebrow and pressed on, "Haven't you seen enough these past few days? I told you not to come before, but you still came along!"
"How can this be the same? You weren't this flashy before, but today you're blindingly bright. I don't care if you have to pay my medical expenses, because you've blinded me."
"Pfft."
Xu Feifei laughed and patted her shoulder, saying, "That's a lame joke, isn't it? It's a bit dated."
Su Huan turned her head away in frustration and sighed heavily, not understanding why the two of them couldn't return to the real world even though they had confessed their feelings.
She remembered that when she confessed her feelings, she was able to return to the real world. Why couldn't she do it this time? Or was she mistaken?
Xu Feifei felt more happy than disappointed that she couldn't go back tonight. Going back tonight was too sudden for her; she wasn't prepared for anything.
Going back is a certainty, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon and so suddenly.
"Feifei, do you think we might just fall asleep and go back? Logically speaking, the male and female leads being together should open the entrance to the real world."
"I'm not too sure about that, but it seems like the original owner only appeared after I went to sleep, right?"
After Xu Feifei finished speaking, she turned to look at Lin Yuan. She believed that Lin Yuan knew more about the original owner's appearance than she did, because the original owner had lost her memory as soon as she appeared and knew nothing about it.
Lin Yuan's previously smiling face vanished, and he lowered his eyes to ponder the matter.
"That was the case in Europe, but not at the engagement. I previously speculated that her coming out and going back were triggered by some kind of stimulation or fright, but it could also be due to a major emotional ups and downs."
"Really? Europe and the engagement weren't a big deal for me. Besides, it was just that when she came out, I lost my memory and never returned to the real world."
Su Huan tugged at her clothes and whispered, "You forgot? The longer we stay here, the easier it is to be formatted. The original owner came out because you stayed too long."
"Yeah?"
Xu Feifei racked her brains but couldn't come up with a solution, so she simply stopped thinking about it. Since everyone was safe and sound and there was no new solution, she decided to just live like this for now and go back when she could.
She looked at Lin Yuan and smiled, saying, "Never mind, let's just live like this for now, one day at a time. Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring. Let's just make sure we're happy every day, right?"
Su Huan sighed helplessly, "Let's go back and think about what happened. Maybe we'll be able to go back after a good night's sleep."
Upon hearing that last sentence, Lin Yuan's eyes dimmed, and his mood became quite somber.
Speaking of sleep, Su Huan yawned, rubbed her eyes, and said, "I'm a little sleepy. It's getting late. Let's go back to our rooms and sleep early. Maybe we can go back tomorrow."
Xu Feifei glanced at her watch; it was already past ten o'clock, which was indeed late. She looked at Lin Yuan hesitantly and said, "It's past ten o'clock now. Should I go back? It's getting late; you should go back early too. Remember to let me know when you get there."
Lin Yuan shook his head, took her hand and said, "Don't go back to the dorm tonight, go to the hotel to sleep."
"hotel?!"
Xu Feifei and Su Huan stared wide-eyed, filled with shock and disbelief.
Su Huan firmly objected, saying, "What kind of talk is it to go to a hotel? We are all high school students and should follow the school's dormitory rules. We should turn off the lights on time and go to bed early. No staying out all night is allowed."
Xu Feifei nodded in agreement and solemnly lectured, "I like to take things one step at a time when we're dating, and you should focus on your studies at the age when you should be studying, instead of having any weird ideas."
Lin Yuan frowned, then smiled and said, "What are you thinking, Feifei? I'm just worried that you'll go back after you've had a good night's sleep. I want to be by your side when you go back. We can get a suite at the hotel, and the three of us can stay together."
"Now that I've resumed my identity as Lin Yuan, it's inconvenient for me to go back to my old dormitory. I don't want to be unable to be with you until the very end, and I don't want you to forget me."
Lin Yuan spoke his last words so softly they seemed as if a gust of wind could dissipate them. But Xu Feifei heard them clearly and sensed his worry and sorrow.
Initially, she blushed with embarrassment because of her overthinking, but after hearing the last sentence clearly, Xu Feifei's gaze softened as she looked at him. She took his hand, held it tightly, and said with a smile, "Okay, we'll stay at a hotel tonight."
Upon arriving at the hotel, Lin Yuan asked the front desk to bring up a vase, arranged the flowers, and placed it in a prominent spot.
After Xu Feifei finished washing up, she noticed the flowers Lin Yuan had arranged on the table, as well as the fruit cutter delivered from the hotel next door. She went over, ate a slice of watermelon, and then carefully examined the flowers in the vase.
"How is it? Does it look good?"
When Lin Yuan approached her, he smelled a fragrance, like the scent of jasmine after the rain, faint, refreshing, and captivating.
Xu Feifei looked up, her eyes filled with laughter, and said, "It looks beautiful. I really like how much you cherish the things I give you. But I also put the bouquet of flowers you gave me in a vase in my dorm."
Lin Yuan walked behind her and hugged her, burying his face in her neck and shoulder and taking a deep breath, saying sweetly, "Of course I should keep what you gave me safe, and you said that this is a destiny witnessed by heaven to show that you love me."
Every time he spoke, Xu Feifei felt a warm breath on her neck and shoulders, which tickled her. Her neck and ears turned visibly red. With a flushed face, she pushed him away and stammered, "Don't get so close, it tickles."
Lin Yuan bent down to the side and teased, "Are you blushing? Are you shy?"
Xu Feifei turned around and touched her face; it was burning hot, undoubtedly very red. But Lin Yuan continued to tease her, and she said, embarrassed and angry, "No way! How come your intimate actions and sweet words come so naturally? So practiced?"
Lin Yuan laughed and said frankly, "Because we're not together yet, I've rehearsed these scenarios in my mind countless times, so putting them into practice is relatively easy."
Hearing his words, Xu Feifei's face turned even redder than a boiled shrimp. She covered his mouth and said, "You're not allowed to say anything more. You're never serious."
Lin Yuan smiled, took her hand in his, his eyes filled with doting affection, and kissed it, saying, "What's wrong with you? Aren't we together?"
She was wrong. She had always thought Lin Yuan was the aloof and indifferent type. But he's actually a closet pervert; he rarely says anything serious.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I just came out and saw you two showing off your love again. Why are people in love so cloying?"
Su Huan came out of another restroom and saw the two of them flirting and being incredibly affectionate. Although she had experienced these things before, she always kept them under wraps, but these two...
Caught red-handed, Xu Feifei hurriedly pulled her hand away and gave Lin Yuan a coquettish glare.
Lin Yuan was in a great mood and didn't argue with Su Huan. He simply said, "You'll encounter these kinds of situations a lot in the future, so it's better to get used to them sooner rather than later."
"Tch." Su Huan rolled her eyes at him.
Xu Feifei fled back to her room. Her face was flushed from Lin Yuan's teasing, and she didn't want Su Huan to see her like this, otherwise Su Huan would definitely tease her again.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door. Xu Feifei opened the door a crack and saw Lin Yuan standing in the doorway, while Su Huan was peeking out from a short distance away, secretly observing the situation.
The blush on her face hadn't completely faded yet. She peeked out from behind the door and asked, "Why are you here? I remember you haven't showered yet. Go take a shower and then go to bed for a good night's sleep."
"Okay, I'll go later. You should go to sleep early. My room is right next to yours. No matter what happens, you have to let me know."
"What could be wrong? You should go to sleep early; I haven't seen you sleeping well these past few days..."
Xu Feifei spoke softer and softer until she was almost completely silent.
Lin Yuan touched her face and kissed her forehead, saying, "Goodnight. Whether you're still here tomorrow or not, I will always be thinking of you and loving you."
Xu Feifei pursed her lips, paused for a moment, and said, "Me too, goodnight."
Back in bed, Xu Feifei was lost in thought. Although she had prepared herself to just drift through life, Lin Yuan's words still made her feel distressed.
Tomorrow is unknown, and the present is the moment, but people always worry in advance about some bad things that may or may not happen in the future.
"Feifei, do you think we'll go back tomorrow?"
When Su Huan entered the room, she saw her lying on the bed in a daze. Thinking about how she had failed to return, she was now also having a headache.
Xu Feifei snapped out of her daze and looked at her, then slowly shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Su Huan adjusted the height of her pillow, pulled the covers over her head, and fell into deep thought. "Do you think we didn't choose the right place? Right, we missed a crucial piece of information. Didn't we say that East Lake at the school was a key location? You and Lin Yuan should have confessed your feelings there. No wonder we didn't make it back. It seems we missed a vital location."
Xu Feifei was still in a daze. She didn't know what she was thinking, but she just couldn't concentrate. She didn't want to go back so soon.
Are you listening?
Seeing that she hadn't replied to her for a long time, Su Huan nudged her with her hand.
“I’m listening, I’m listening, it’s East Lake, I can hear you.”
Seeing that she was listening, Su Huan continued, "Then you and Lin Yuan should find an opportunity to go to East Lake together for a date and see if it's because we didn't choose the right place that we can't go back."
Xu Feifei had no intention of discussing this further, so she made a few casual remarks and then turned off the lights.
The room was plunged into darkness. She stared at the dark ceiling above her, lost in thought. Negative emotions at night were always amplified by the silence and darkness, and her previously calmed mood became anxious again.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow..."
