When they grew up, he always only watched her from afar and never dared to approach.
He watched her make funny faces at him cutely; watched her stubbornly tag herself along with his brother; watched her place her hands by her waist and smile arrogantly.
Just like that, she dashed across the green field, climbed over the tall fence, penetrated through the layers of darkness and pain, and walked into his heart. She never left since.
For the first time, he so desperately wanted to grasp onto something. Onto something tightly and never let go.
But, why, why was it that to her, he had never existed…
“Don’t… bully him… you guys want me…” Xia Yuxun mumbled and threw around a slap.
Leng Siche dodged it by a hair and quickly held onto her unsettling hands. He sighed helplessly and wondered why this girl wanted to fight even in her sleep.
However, she was cute as usual.
Xia Yuxun’s face rubbed against Leng Siche’s arm and then she hugged onto it. In a soft voice, she whispered, “Siche, I will protect you. I will make sure nobody can take care of you…”
Leng Siche’s body petrified and a wave of warmth washed over him. His eyes felt damp.
This stupid girl!
Was I in her dream?
“Fight against me instead… fight against me instead… you aren’t allowed to bully him..”
“Lil’ Xun, I’m no longer the sick and weak Siche anymore. From now on, I will be the one protecting you!” Leng Siche murmured by her ear softly, “Lil’ Xun, don’t keep on running in that direction. Occasionally turn your head and look back okay? I will always wait for you. I will wait for the day you see me…”
…
The next morning.
Xia Yuxun sat by the head of the bed, dumbfounded. Where was she?
Her memories were in snippets again…
She somewhat remembered how Leng Siche had let her stay for a night.
Though she wore a different shirt, because it was Leng Siche, she wasn’t at all worried. For certain she was the one who changed herself. The only other explanation was that the maid helped her.
On the bedside table were the clothes she wore from last night. It had been washed clean and a faint scent of laundry detergent lingered.
…
“Hi, good morning!”
Xia Yuxun put on the freshly washed clothes that were by her pillow, opened the door, and stuck out her head to look at Leng Siche, who was reading the morning news.
“Morning, Lil’ Xun! Come and eat breakfast!” Leng Siche greeted.
Xia Yuxun was stunned. She was basically blinded by Leng Siche’s sunny smile.
“Sorry, I had caused too much trouble for you last night!” Xia Yuxun walked over a little and said, embarrassed. After all, to drunkenly pass out in his house was terrible behavior.
“Don’t be so polite. We are all friends. Saying things like that make us too distant.” Leng Siche smiled.
While they ate, Leng Siche suddenly suggested in a manner that was half-joking but half-serious, “Lil’ Xun, how about I ask them to transfer you to work with me?”
