In the evening, Aunt Chen specially prepared a table full of delicious dishes

I buried it in the rice and quickly swallowed it

After returning home, my father told me that I was in the same class as Shen Xiaoxi, which he specifically requested from the teacher. He knew that after my mother's passing, I had become increasingly reclusive and had few friends in class, so in his view, this would prevent me from feeling lonely

I suddenly woke up, realizing that it was raining outside. I had not closed the window, and the rain was coming in through the window, hitting my face and giving me the illusion of crying

I have always thought it was nothing more than a dream—a dream that was beyond reach

I can only smile and say thank you to him

At the age of seventeen, I was in the second year of high school when Shen Xiaoxi transferred to the school I was attending

He asked: "My beautiful princess, why are you not happy?"

On the first day of school, my father unusually took me to school, of course, because Shen Xiaoxi was also going with us. To celebrate the start of the school year, my father bought me a pink dress.

However, today, only Shen Xiaoxi came to school wearing a new dress. The dress that my father bought for me was one size too big—he bought it according to Shen Xiaoxi's height

Shen Xiaoxi timely placed a piece of braised pork into my bowl, earning praise from Dad

Only I, with my head buried, can see it; it is a large piece of fat meat

In my dream, I sit on a swing, surrounded by a profusion of flowers, while that young man stands alone, smiling beside me

I can hear my heart beating wildly - "thump thump"

In my dream, I looked at him in confusion and replied, "Why am I not happy? I am very happy!"

It was only when someone accidentally pushed me that I woke up from the illusion. The girl smiled at me shyly, her eyes curving into crescent shapes.

He is the first young man who smiled at me

I believe he must have simply forgotten, forgotten his daughter's height; he certainly did not do it intentionally

Why? Clearly, I was so happy, yet I cried

Why does it occur

She said: "I am sorry, classmate"

The wind of September stirs the tips of my hair, and I seem to see an endless expanse of dandelions. They sweep in from the distant horizon, and the young man in a tailcoat from my dreams suddenly appears before my eyes in this manner

He bought a total of 2, one for me and one for Shen Xiaoxi

I cannot protect my mother, I cannot protect my father, but at the very least, let me hold on to the right to dream

He looks exactly like the boy in my dreams

In the dream, I raised my hand, and my fingertips touched my own cold, damp cheek

He gently shook his head: "Touch your own face, you have clearly been crying!"

That night, I had that dream again

I hope she did not see the moment I changed my expression when that young man appeared; it was merely a dream of mine

Yet the boy in the dream, he is right here, at the bustling school gate. He comes against the current, a faint smile on his lips, his eyes resembling amber, filled with sunlight.

I shook my head in confusion, but when I turned around, I saw Shen Xiaoxi standing at the other end of the crowd. Her beautiful eyes held a faint smile as she looked at me, and in that moment, I instinctively lowered my head; it was a gaze that seemed to see through all my secrets

I stood outside the crowd, waiting for my father to finish paying the fee. My gaze swept through the crowd, and suddenly, a face caught my eye

What can I say
