★ Modern sweet romance | Rekindled love | Reunion after years apart | Healing
Cen Yu was having that dream again.
In it, the summers in her hometown were hot and humid, and she had transferred to a school there.
The elderly neighbor had gone out of his way to call his grandson over to help her move.
"This is the little girl from your Grandpa Yang's family."
Chen Qingyin leaned sleepily against the courtyard gate, his eyelids drooping as he glanced at her. Then he tilted his head and drawled, "Little girl?"
If she remembered correctly, this guy had just scammed twenty yuan out of her half an hour ago by pretending she'd bumped into him.
For the sake of their families' elders, Cen Yu decided to graciously let it go for now. She nodded, swallowing her indignation, and replied, "Big brother."
At the end of the dream,
The wailing ambulance, the cordon strung up below the building, the blood and the chaotic downpour, all became Cen Yu's final memories of the town.
-
They met again in an unfamiliar city.
Yet the nightmare from years ago played out all over again, like a movie being shown a second time.
By the time Cen Yu hurried to the hospital, Chen Qingyin had just finished getting stitches. Blood had seeped through the gauze.
He casually draped his jacket over his arm to cover the wound, then grinned with his usual carefree air. "Why are you crying? I'm fine, aren't I?"
Cen Yu's heart was still in her throat, and seeing how little he cared made her so angry she wanted to give him a good beating. "Who told you to act on your own?"
One eyebrow arched. Chen Qingyin leaned closer, utterly unafraid, his voice still teasing and amused. "Go ahead, hit me right here. If you don't knock my head off, it means you care about me."
"..."
Theme: You look toward me.
