The city was still brightly lit in the late night, but for Zhou Ziheng, his home at this time seemed particularly quiet. He sat alone on the balcony, holding a bottle of beer in his hand, his gaze penetrating the glass window, looking at the distant and sparkling night view. Such nights always made people inevitably fall into deep thought. 0
 
The night breeze gently brushed through his slightly messy hair, one hand gently shaking the beer bottle in his hand, watching the transparent liquid sway with the movement. The city's night view shimmered before his eyes, and every light seemed to be telling untold stories. But at this moment, Zhou Ziheng's thoughts seemed to be drifting in another direction - anticipation. 0
 
 
Since his mother remarried, he and Gu Pan became a family, and their lives were filled with various small disputes and happy times. At first, all of this was just a part of family life for Zhou Ziheng, but gradually, Gu Pan's presence became more and more important to him. He found himself constantly looking for Gu Pan's figure unintentionally, and her laughter seemed to become the most Gu Pan d melody of his day. 0
 
This feeling left Zhou Ziheng feeling confused and struggling. According to traditional concepts, the relationship between him and Gu Pan should only be that of siblings, but his heart unconsciously crossed that boundary. He tried to use his usual laziness and sarcasm to disguise this emotion, only to find it was futile. 0
 
 
Zhou Ziheng raised his hand and rubbed his temples, feeling emotionally complex and unable to calm down for a moment. He remembered the day when Gu Pan glared at him with a pout because of a small misunderstanding. Her expression made him both amused and heartbroken. How he wished he could have held Gu Pan's hand at that moment and told her his true feelings. 0
 
He knew deep down that according to societal norms, his feelings for Gu Pan were not allowed, which made him feel immensely conflicted. On such a night, Zhou Ziheng's mood was particularly complex as he continuously questioned himself on how to handle the emotions between him and Gu Pan. 0
 
 
As time passed by, Zhou Ziheng's inner struggle did not receive any relief. His thoughts were like a tangled ball of yarn, getting more chaotic the more he thought about it. In the end, he decided to get up and go inside, no longer allowing himself to be immersed in this painful train of thought. 0
 
The next day, Gu Pan got up early as usual, preparing to go to school. When she passed by Zhou Ziheng's room, she noticed the door was slightly open, and Zhou Ziheng was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking as if he had just woken up, with a tired expression on his face. 0
 
 
Gu Pan gently knocked on the door and asked with concern, "Brother, did you not sleep well last night? You look really tired." 0
 
Zhou Ziheng looked up at Gu Pan and forced a smile, "It's nothing, maybe I had a little insomnia last night. You should go get ready, don't be late." 0
 
 
Gu Pan nodded, although there was some worry in his heart, he still turned around to prepare his breakfast. Meanwhile, Zhou Ziheng quietly watched Gu Pan's back, feeling even more conflicted in his emotions. 0
 
That day, Zhou Ziheng seemed particularly heavy-hearted, unable to joke and banter with his friends at school as usual. His friends noticed his abnormal behavior and began to inquire about it. 0
 
 
" Ziheng, what's wrong? You look really troubled today," Liu Haoran asked with concern. 0
 
Zhou Ziheng shook his head, trying to conceal his emotions: "It's nothing, maybe I'm just a little tired recently." 0
 
 
However, Liu Haoran didn't buy it. He knew that Zhou Ziheng had always been optimistic and cheerful, and wouldn't become so heavy just because of simple fatigue. "Come on, let's find a place to sit and have a good chat." 0
 
Under Liu Haoran's insistence, Zhou Ziheng had no choice but to follow him to a coffee shop near the school. Here, Zhou Ziheng finally confided in Liu Haoran about his worries, although he didn't mention specific details, Liu Haoran could roughly guess some of it. 0
 
 
Liu Haoran listened carefully to Zhou Ziheng's words, then pondered for a moment and said, " Ziheng, matters of the heart are very complicated, and I don't really understand them. But I think no matter what, you should face your own feelings. Avoidance is not a solution, and besides, you've never been the type to run away." 0
 
Zhou Ziheng was moved by Liu Haoran's words. He knew that he really needed to think about how to handle the emotions between him and Gu Pan. 0
 
 
This afternoon, Zhou Ziheng walked alone on the way home, his heart filled with complex emotions. He kept recalling every little detail spent with Gu Pan, those happy times, those carefree laughter, all of which he couldn't forget. 0
 
When he got home, he found Gu Pan already busy in the kitchen preparing dinner. Seeing her focused profile, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help but feel a tender emotion. He approached gently and then asked, " Xiao Tauzi, do you need help?" 0
 
 
Gu Pan Hearing Zhou Ziheng's voice, I turned to look at him, then shook my head with a smile, "No need, bro, go sit in the living room for a while, dinner will be ready soon." 0
 
Zhou Ziheng nodded, not caring about what kind of dark cuisine he would eat for dinner, and went to the living room to sit on the sofa, but his mind was still in a state of confusion. He could no longer escape this emotion and had to make a decision. But what exactly this decision was, he needed time to think about. 0
 
 
During dinner, Gu Pan and Zhou Ziheng sat at the table, and the atmosphere seemed somewhat different from usual. Gu Pan noticed Zhou Ziheng's silence and couldn't help but worry, asking, "Brother, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" 0
 
Zhou Ziheng looked up at Gu Pan's concerned eyes, feeling even more complex emotions. He softly replied, "It's nothing, just feeling a bit tired lately, and I also had your dark cuisine, which needs to be savored slowly." 0
 
 
Gu Pan After listening, there was some anger but more worry. However, there was no further questioning. If Zhou Ziheng is willing, he will naturally tell her. 0
 
During this dinner, the two of them didn't have much communication, each thinking about their own problems. But no matter what, this feeling between them cannot be fully expressed in words. 0
 
 
It's late at night, Zhou Ziheng lies in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He must face this emotion and make a decision. This decision may change everything between him and Gu Pan. 0
 
In the quiet of the night, Zhou Ziheng's thoughts are like wild horses, difficult to control. He tosses and turns, filled with longing and desire for Gu Pan. Finally, under the dual pressure of exhaustion and emotion, Zhou Ziheng enters a chaotic and intense dream. 0
 
 
In his dream, he strolled through the garden with Gu Pan, the moonlight gentle and the starry sky sparkling. Gu Pan was dressed in a white gown, pure and ethereal like a fairy, her smile fresh and otherworldly, causing Zhou Ziheng's heart to tremble. Unable to contain the impulse in his heart, he slowly pulled Gu Pan into his embrace, gently caressing her cheek and whispering softly, expressing his deeply hidden emotions. 0
 
Zhou Ziheng's hand lightly slid over Gu Pan's shoulder, slowly moving down her back, each touch accelerating his heartbeat and quickening his breath. He took a deep breath, gathered his courage, and held Gu Pan even tighter, lowering his head to place gentle kisses on her forehead, eyes, and nose. 0
 
 
Gu Pan's cheeks were tinged with a faint blush, and she closed her eyes, seemingly enjoying the warmth and sweetness. Zhou Ziheng felt excited in his heart, thinking that he was the happiest person in the world to be so intimate with Gu Pan. 0
 
However, just as Zhou Ziheng was about to further express his feelings, the dream suddenly changed, and he woke up from that romantic yet chaotic dream, his heart pounding like a drum, and his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat. He stared at the ceiling, trying to calm his breathing. The images from the dream still lingered in his mind, making him feel both ashamed and confused. This was an experience he had never had before, that his feelings for Gu Pan would erupt in such an intense way in a dream. 0
 
 
Zhou Ziheng sat up and found the sheet beneath him completely wet. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the thoughts that shouldn't be there. However, the anticipation from the dream, the cute and alluring figure, seemed to be engraved in his heart and wouldn't go away. 0
 
Zhou Ziheng got up and walked to the bathroom. The cold water running over his face couldn't wash away the restlessness and confusion in his heart. Looking at himself in the mirror, he saw a man with a haggard face and a bewildered look. At that moment, he deeply felt the struggle within himself. 0
 
 
Returning to his room, Zhou Ziheng found that it was already bright outside. He realized that he couldn't go to school today. He called the school to ask for leave, changed the sheets, and then lay back on the bed, looking blankly at the ceiling, filled with confusion. 0
 
"What should I do?" Zhou Ziheng repeatedly asked himself in his mind. His feelings for Gu Pan had exceeded the boundaries of siblinghood, but he didn't know how to face or handle these deepening emotions. 0
 
 
As time passed by, Zhou Ziheng tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep due to inner struggles and restlessness. Eventually, he decided to get up, put on some clothes, and go for a walk, hoping that the fresh air might help clear his mind. 0
 
Walking on the quiet morning streets, surrounded by occasional passing cars, Zhou Ziheng seemed to be searching for answers, aimlessly strolling with complex emotions filling his heart. He kept recalling the time spent with Gu Pan, the happy memories making it impossible for him to resist the growth of these feelings. 0
 
 
However, when he thought about the possible consequences of this emotion, his heart was filled with hesitation. He was afraid that this feeling would destroy his relationship with Gu Pan, and afraid that this forbidden love would hurt Gu Pan. 0
