Hearing this, the two of them suddenly realized, exchanging shy glances before lowering their heads and falling silent. Since their classmates already knew, there was no point in hiding it anymore; they might as well be open about it.
A few minutes later, Xu Nancheng's right hand and Lin Menghan's left hand began to wander restlessly. After a few tentative touches, their hands found each other, and Xu Nancheng quickly took hold of Lin Menghan's small hand. He turned his head to look at her with a gentle smile, and Lin Menghan responded with a sweet smile of her own.
They gazed at each other, their eyes blinking slowly until they drifted off to sleep. Their hands fell apart as their consciousness faded.
Outside the window, sparrows chirped on the power lines, adding a touch of summer to the moment. The pencil in Xu Nancheng's hand moved back and forth across the paper as he struggled to find the right words to describe Lin Menghan.
The song playing on the radio was Jay Chou's "Qilixiang."
Lin Menghan stirred slightly and slowly opened her eyes, meeting Xu Nancheng's handsome face adorned with a smile. Xu Nancheng had actually been awake for a while; he couldn't sleep for long anyway. Instead, he chose to read while quietly watching Lin Menghan.
Noticing her drowsy eyes, a smile crept onto his lips as he softly asked, "Lin Menghan, are you awake?"
Lin Menghan blinked lazily and replied with a hint of playfulness in her voice, "Yes, I'm awake! Nancheng, why did you wake up so early?"
Xu Nancheng chuckled, almost revealing that he was a light sleeper but decided against it. "I just wanted to see you for a little longer," he said. After saying this, he couldn't help but marvel at how natural it felt to speak sweetly to someone.
Lin Menghan, who had still been feeling a bit sleepy, instantly woke up at his words. A blush crept onto her cheeks as she playfully scolded him, "Nancheng, you're so annoying!" She lightly slapped his arm a few times.
Of course, they kept their voices down; it was best not to disturb the other classmates around them. Most of their peers were still in a daze until they caught sight of this couple quietly flirting with each other, which jolted them awake—this was some juicy gossip they didn't want to miss.
"Nancheng! I'm sorry! What do you think of this song?" he quickly asked for forgiveness, feeling quite happy despite her playful hits—though he wasn't a masochist!
"What? 'Qilixiang'?" Lin Menghan asked knowingly, wanting to see how Xu Nancheng felt about the song.
"Yes! I think it has such a youthful vibe! It captures the beauty and innocence of love," Xu Nancheng said with his eyes closed, savoring the melody before sharing his thoughts with Lin Menghan.
Lin Menghan nodded her cute little head enthusiastically. "Mm-hmm! We're thinking the same thing!"
Lin Menghan leaned in cautiously, whispering softly into Xu Nancheng's ear, following the broadcast as she sang gently.
The rain falls all night,
My love overflows like the rainwater.
Leaves fall in the yard,
Stacked thickly with my longing.
A few words of gossip
Cannot cool my passion.
You appear on every page of my poem,
All night, my love overflows like the rainwater.
Butterflies on the windowsill
Are like beautiful chapters fluttering in my poetry.
I continue to write,
Inscribing "I will love you forever" at the end of my poem.
You are the only one I wish to understand.
Xu Nancheng closed his eyes, his heart listening to Lin Menghan's delicate voice, flowing like a gentle stream, melodious and enchanting, akin to celestial music. The boy quietly absorbed the girl's song, as if each note gently touched the strings of his heart. Her warm breath, that soft exhalation, intoxicated him completely.
On this beautiful summer day, with a perfect breeze blowing, the girl quietly entered his world, like a brilliant star illuminating his life, leaving a deep imprint on his heart. He had fallen deeply in love with this girl, and she loved him just as fiercely. He silently wished for time to freeze at this moment, for them to remain together forever, never to part.
He imagined that one day he could become her groom, walking hand in hand with her into the hall of marriage; and she would be his bride, sharing every beautiful moment of life with him. He envisioned that they would weather storms together, sharing laughter and tears until eternity.
With these thoughts, a blissful smile spread across Xu Nancheng's face, his heart brimming with anticipation for what was to come.
