Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Encounter, Reunion (17)
Tu Hengsha didn’t know when she had fallen asleep, she only felt the deafening sound of the torrential rain gradually fading away.
She had a dream, a dream where she returned to the school many years ago. She was in the first grade, carrying a small backpack, and saw him in the same school uniform for the first time. Excitedly, she ran up to greet him, but a car pulled up at the school gate. A carefully dressed woman emerged from the car and took his hand, leading him into the car. From start to finish, he never looked back, nor did he hear her calling him.
Behind the car window, his round, serious face appeared. She chased and called out to him, but that face finally gradually disappeared, never to be seen again...
Then the dream plunged into chaos, all about her chasing his silhouette—on the sports field, the teaching buildings, even the men’s bathroom...
Her voice echoed in the air above the schoolyard: "Brother Xu! Brother Xu! Brother Xu..."
But he never looked back...
Suddenly, the scene shifted to a rescue scenario. He was perched in a tree, rescuing people, when his body swayed and he fell into the water, instantly swept away by the flood.
"Brother Xu! Brother Xu!" she shouted and cried loudly at the river.
"Hey! Hey, hey!"
Someone was pushing her; she suddenly woke up to complete darkness around her and realized it had all been just a dream.
She was still fearful and reached out to turn on the lights inside the car. Under the warm yellow light, his eyes reflected a flowing radiance.
She touched her face; both hands were wet. These tears had finally flowed, maybe for Ah Gua, or perhaps for something else.
The sound of rain outside had lessened a lot. She wanted to crack open the window a bit for some air, pressed the switch, but it didn’t work—he had already turned off the car. She simply cracked the door slightly; the cool breeze came in carrying the scent of rainwater.
Following the rustling of a plastic bag, a box of chocolates appeared before her eyes.
She didn’t hesitate, pinching one and peeling it to eat. The heat from the cocoa butter slowly gave her energy.
"You stopped crying?" someone asked from beside her.
She was not one to cry in front of others, or rather, she wasn’t a person who loved to cry. At least in her twenty-some years of life, the times she had cried were few and far between.
She wasn’t entitled to cry.
Perhaps it was because it was in a dream that she had been so unrestrained, but she still felt embarrassed. She had to spin the crying back to control!
"It was all because of you!" she rubbed her face somewhat unreasonably.
"What’s that got to do with me?" His voice was low and slightly rough.
"You were ignoring me! I followed your car and fell; you still ignored me! And there was another time! I followed you right to the men’s..." She stopped abruptly, as following him to the men’s room had actually happened, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Men’s what? Men’s bathroom?"
"..." How could he guess right every time?
"So, did you peek at me peeing?"
"..." She threw the box of chocolates back at him in response, "In your dreams!" Following him to the men’s bathroom was true! That had happened because she was completely lost, not realizing she had entered the bathroom, okay? Of course, if those little boys hadn’t laughed at her, maybe she really would have wandered in without noticing, and then she might have seen everything...
She thought about it and felt quite embarrassed, but then again, what was there to see with little boys?
Just as she threw the box, he dodged it, and it hit him right in the face.
She was startled and sympathetically reached out to rub the spot she had hit, "Does it hurt? Why didn’t you dodge? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to..."
As she spoke, she felt something was off. Why was it so warm?
He brushed her hands away, "Don’t touch randomly... You really don’t hold back! Who gave you the courage!"
"Not that..." she touched his forehead and behind his ears, "You have a
