The school bell rang as the students poured out of the classroom like liberated birds, and Ye Ziwei and Gu Pan were no exception. Ye Ziwei was particularly eye-catching today, wearing a loose T-shirt with a bright pattern paired with denim shorts, and a pair of flashy high-top canvas shoes. Her short hair was casually styled, showcasing her wild and energetic personality.
When she noticed that Gu Pan seemed a bit distracted, a mischievous thought crossed her mind. She lightly approached from behind and suddenly covered Gu Pan's eyes, playfully asking, "Guess who I am?"
Gu Pan was startled by this sudden move, but soon saw through Ye Ziwei's little trick and responded with a smile, "Ziwei, even if you turned into Superman, I could still recognize you at a glance!"
Ye Ziwei smiled, put down her hand, and turned to face Gu Pan, adjusting her short hair while asking with concern, "Panny, what's wrong? You look like you're carrying a heavy burden."
Gu Pan sighed, her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of frustration showed in her eyes. Ye Ziwei immediately suggested, "Come on, let's go to the nearby coffee shop and change the environment. Maybe it will help improve your mood."
The two quickly arrived at the coffee shop and found a seat by the window. Through the window, they could see the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and the soft music playing in the shop added a touch of leisure to the atmosphere. Gu Pan ordered a latte, while Ye Ziwei as usual, ordered her favorite cappuccino. After sitting down across from each other, Ye Ziwei began her "soul therapist" mode: "Panpan, what's been going on lately? You seem a bit distracted."
Gu Pan took a sip of coffee and smiled slightly, "It's nothing, maybe I'm just a little tired recently."
Ye Ziwei glanced at Gu Pan with eyes that seemed to see through everything, "Panpan, we are good sisters, you can tell me if there's anything. Is it related to Zhou Ziheng?"
Gu Pan heard Ye Ziwei mention Zhou Ziheng's name, and her heart couldn't help but tighten. She didn't answer directly, but lowered her head and gently stirred the coffee in her hand.
Seeing this, Ye Ziwei gently held Gu Pan's hand and said, "Panny, I noticed that your eyes are different when you're with Zhou Ziheng. Are you... starting to like him?"
Gu Pan After listening, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. She bit her lip and finally nodded. This small gesture seemed to open the door to her heart, allowing all her entanglements and unease to find an outlet.
Ye Ziwei saw this and showed a comforting smile, "Panpan, matters of the heart are very complicated, especially in your special relationship with Zhou Ziheng. But I think the most important thing is to honestly face your own feelings. Are you really sure about your feelings?"
Gu Pan Lifted her head, her eyes showing struggle, but more determination: "I... I don't know. But every time I see him, there's an indescribable feeling in my heart, very strange, and very sweet. I know this shouldn't be, after all, we are siblings..."
Ye Ziwei shook her head gently: "Panpan, there's no such thing as should or shouldn't in matters of the heart. What's important is the feelings between you. If you really like Zhou Ziheng, then be brave. Of course, be prepared to face all kinds of outcomes."
After listening to Ye Ziwei's words, there seemed to be a glimmer of hope in her heart: "Ziwei, thank you. I will think about it carefully."
The two of them chatted a lot, from academics to life, from dreams to the future. Ye Ziwei's cheerfulness and humor always made Gu Pan feel relaxed and happy. This friendship was like a beacon of light for her, illuminating the way forward in her confusion and frustration.
When the evening sun shone through the window of the coffee shop onto the two of them, Gu Pan's mood gradually became clearer. No matter what difficulties the future may bring, as long as she has a friend like Ye Ziwei by her side, she has infinite strength.
As they left the coffee shop, Gu Pan said to Ye Ziwei, "Ziwei, it's great to have you."
Ye Ziwei smiled and replied, "Silly, do I even need to say it? Come on, put on your brightest smile, and let's welcome tomorrow together."
The two walked side by side on their way home, and everything around them seemed so beautiful and peaceful. Gu Pan felt grateful, with a friend like Ye Ziwei, she felt like the luckiest person in the world.
On the way out of the coffee shop, Ye Ziwei looked at Gu Pan with a smile as she talked about Zhou Ziheng, and she secretly realized that her feelings for Gu Pan were much deeper than she had realized. Even though Gu Pan always complained about Zhou Ziheng's laziness and sharp tongue, whenever he was mentioned, her eyes would unconsciously sparkle, and the smile on her lips couldn't hide the sweetness in her heart.
A few days later, the school bell rang as students filled the campus with laughter and chatter. Ye Ziwei and Gu Pan walked together, slowly making their way towards the school gate. Gu Pan seemed to be preoccupied, muttering to herself from time to time, while Ye Ziwei listened curiously with a puzzled expression.
"Do you know, my brother did something infuriating again this morning!" Gu Pan she complained as soon as she opened her mouth.
Ye Ziwei raised an eyebrow and asked with interest, "Oh? What happened? Don't tell me he stole your breakfast again."
Gu Pan Qihuhu nodded angrily, as if just recalling that scene could make her angry again. "Not only did he steal my toast, but he also took my favorite strawberry jam! How can someone be so rude!"
Ye Ziwei couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, saying, "Oh, you siblings are really interesting. But seriously, isn't this just a little squabble between siblings? Is it that serious?"
Gu Pan gave Ye Ziwei a glare, clearly unsatisfied with her response. "Just a little squabble? Do you know that he didn't come home on time tonight, leaving me to have dinner alone! This isn't the first time this has happened, and every time it leaves me waiting and frustrated."
Seeing that Gu Pan was truly annoyed, Ye Ziwei quickly tried to comfort her, saying, "Okay, okay, I understand. Zhou Ziheng did go a bit too far. But to be honest, this kind of interaction between you siblings sounds quite heartwarming."
Gu Pan Upon hearing this, a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth, evidently Ye Ziwei's words had improved her mood somewhat. "Affectionate? I think he's just too much. But, in the end, he does sometimes do unexpected things, like suddenly bringing me my favorite dessert, or taking care of me meticulously when I'm sick."
Ye Ziwei listened to Gu Pan's words and a knowing look flashed in her eyes. "It seems that, although you complain on the surface, deep down you actually do love this lazy brother of yours."
When she was spoken to like this by Ye Ziwei, her smile grew even wider. She lightly patted Ye Ziwei's shoulder and said, "Ah, you've figured me out. But, don't let it slip, lest that guy gets too cocky."
Ye Ziwei made a motion of zipping her lips, smiling in response. "Don't worry, I'm the best at keeping secrets. But, next time he annoys you, just let me know, I'll help you vent."
The two of them continued to walk while chatting and laughing. Gu Pan's mood noticeably improved, and Ye Ziwei was also happy to be able to help her friend.
"Panny, do you know? Every time you mention Zhou Ziheng, a smile unconsciously appears on your face," Ye Ziwei couldn't help but reveal Gu Pan's little secret, looking at her with a mischievous smile.
Gu Pan Ye Ziwei was taken aback for a moment, then blushed and awkwardly retorted, "No, I just think he's too much of a headache."
Ye Ziwei didn't buy it, she raised her eyebrows lightly and teased, "Oh, really? Then what's with the smile on your face every time you mention him? It seems to me that it's not annoyance, but rather full of indulgence, isn't it?"
Gu Pan was exposed by Ye Ziwei with a single word, and couldn't help but laugh. She gently pushed Ye Ziwei and said, "Ziwei, why do you always think in that direction about everything!"
Ye Ziwei laughed heartily. Her feelings for Zhou Ziheng were no longer just ordinary sibling relations. However, she also understood that now was not the time to reveal this relationship. Gu Pan still needed time to sort out her own emotions.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. But Gu Pan, no matter what your feelings are for Zhou Ziheng, I support you. Remember, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side," Ye Ziwei said seriously.
Gu Pan felt a warmth in her heart as she looked gratefully at Ye Ziwei. "Ziwei, thank you, it's great to have you."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and this friendship seemed particularly precious and warm in the years of youth.
As the days passed, the friendship between Gu Pan and Ye Ziwei deepened in the ordinary campus life. Gu Pan's feelings for Zhou Ziheng also gradually accumulated and fermented unintentionally, but she herself had not fully realized it yet. With Ye Ziwei's company and support, Gu Pan's inner world became richer and more colorful, and this journey of youth became more exciting and unforgettable because of the interweaving of friendship and love.
