Four

Seyou is not far from St. John's, so if I go to school a bit earlier and come home a bit later, I still have a chance to meet An Yixuan. I should create more opportunities. Speaking of opportunities, the name of my best friend and confidante, Lingdang, suddenly popped into my mind. This fiery girl has been my only constant sister for the past 10 years, and she just happened to be accepted into St. John's High School!

Indeed, people from 10 years ago were more innocent; a gaming console and a meal at McDonald's could resolve all conflicts. Watching the bell play games, she really hasn't changed much; even after 10 years, she still has long flowing hair and remains the good friend I can summon with just a phone call

That was back then, people can change, Saint John's is a first-rate high school, and you are there, of course I want to go! It would be so boring for me to stay at Seville alone! Bell, I might have to rely on you more in the future.

Wow, how generous! Upon hearing about the arcade games, Lingdang's eyes lit up with excitement. She didn't even finish her ice cream cone before pulling me towards the game hall

Bells, oh bells, for the sake of my lifelong happiness, it seems you need to contribute a little more! I chuckled mischievously and immediately invited Bell to lunch and shopping. Bell expressed her dissatisfaction over my disappearance for almost the entire summer vacation, but I offered to treat her to an extra McDonald's sundae, and she instantly felt better.

Since I am awake, I will get up and start reading, while also reflecting on the events that occurred during my high school years. Se Yue High School, the place that encompassed my entire adolescence, where I experienced both laughter and tears, had the best of friends as well as the most hypocritical ones, and that first love I once believed in. I was truly foolish and naive back then! I flip through the notebook adorned with celebrity stickers; ten years later, they have long since changed their images, some have exited the stage while others have become superstars. I pick up a pen and carefully write a sentence next to their stickers, suddenly thinking that posting a gossip thread about this on a forum would surely go viral. However, I prefer to remain low-key; some things are best kept to oneself. Having suffered so many losses in the past, I should have learned to be wiser.

Here it comes, here it comes. I gather my emotions and join the battle, I must not forget, I am truly just a 16-year-old child!

An Yixuan extended his hand towards me, gloved in white. I handed him my hand, and with a strong pull, I was already on the horse's back. He embraced me from behind, his voice gentle as water: "Xizi, let us wander the world together, accompanied by the mortal realm, never to part again." I was intoxicated in his embrace, murmuring, "Hug me..." "Ah! My head!" In a sudden turn, I fell to the ground. Rubbing my aching forehead, I felt a sweetness in my heart. For so long, this was the first time I had such a sweet dream. Could it mean that my relationship with An Yixuan would also have a good beginning?

I love you so much, just like I love my life! I raised my head and stared at him, who was bathed in sunlight, with a firm tone

"Hey, why are you staring at me? Let's play together, you seem a bit off today." Bell rolled her eyes at me.

I shook my head nervously and said with wide eyes: "Where is it different? Have I gained weight? I've been cooped up at home every day lately, either eating or studying, and I'm really about to go crazy. Let's go play some arcade games later, it's on me!"

What kind of relationship do we have? Why say such distant words? If you need anything, just let me know! However, Hizi, I always feel like you have changed a bit. " Lingdang said while swinging her two long braids and looking at me. " It seems like... you have matured? Oh, I can't describe it, but anyway, I feel like you are not the same as before. " Lingdang continued to lick her ice cream.

"Xizi, I love you so much, let us never part forever." The ease of An Yixuan, like a prince on a white horse, confessed his feelings to me

In fact, Se Yao is quite good, and it is very close. Don't be discouraged. I heard that you were crying and throwing a tantrum about wanting to go to St. John's, and I was quite shocked. Didn't you always say that Se Yao is very good?" Bell licked her ice cream cone, looking at me with an innocent expression, her tone filled with consolation

After many years without a summer vacation, I spent it alternating between diligence and laziness, and soon it was time to start school, which made me excited. It was really difficult to find opportunities to see An Yixuan at home during the summer vacation. Although I often wandered around his neighborhood for him, I never saw him even once. After all, it was summer vacation, and his schedule was truly hard to predict. School would be different; I refuse to believe I won't be able to see him! An Yixuan, just wait, I will soon appear in your life!
