Coincidence

Good ... ... so tired ... ...

After the fulfillment of her wishes, how did her soul wander aimlessly in all directions

Oh my! Although she, Xia Yuxi, is fearless in the face of the heavens and the earth, she is most afraid of thunder and lightning

She carefully examined the ancient mirror once again, nodding in satisfaction. With great interest, she placed it into her backpack and tucked the strange book under her pillow, then curled her entire body into the quilt.

The sky resembles a vast canopy, enveloping everything. Each twinkling star is embedded in the dark night, as if they are brilliant gems shimmering with radiance

Oh my God—what on earth did I do wrong

The power of God can fulfill her wish to have friends

Such a deceptive book, why does the librarian still make the borrowing process so complicated

The sporadic light rain suddenly intensified, transforming into a torrential downpour, drenching the soil with a loud patter!

Once again, a thunderclap erupted in the depths of Xia Yuxi's heart, as if heralding the end of her beautiful life of freedom from this moment onward

At this moment, the nerve in Xia Yuxi's mind, named "Rationality," completely snapped, and the flames of anger blazed fiercely, spreading throughout his entire body, with every cell in a frenzy.

"Do not look at me with that disgusting gaze!" After receiving no response for a long time, Xia Yuxi turned her head to glance at him, her face darkened, and she threw him a big eye roll. Then she rested her hands under her head and gazed absentmindedly at the night sky

A thunderclap exploded above Xia Yuxi's head! The lightning illuminated her face, which was pale to the point of being bloodless

Bang

Upon hearing the commotion behind him, Yan Qing immediately turned around and unexpectedly caught Xia Yuxi, who was falling into his arms

The rain poured down, creating a curtain of water between the two individuals. Yan Qing glanced at her, reached out, and took hold of Xia Yuxi, running into the downpour.

Very well, I will use it as bedtime reading to drive that annoying face of Yan Qing out of my mind, and then have a good sleep to welcome tomorrow, hmm, perfect

Xia Yuxi alertly looked down and discovered a very unique antique bronze mirror on the ground, so she bent down to pick it up

She unexpectedly fell into Yanqing's arms! ... Moreover, moreover ...! ... Her hands were tightly pressed against his chest!

Boom

Supporting her sore and weak waist and legs, Xia Yuxi swayed home like a deflated balloon. As soon as she entered the house, she collapsed onto the soft bed, too exhausted to open her eyes

"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with you!" Xia Yuxi, struck at her weak point, glared at Yan Qing, frantically launching her "Xia-style Eye Waves" at him

Wow!

Silence, an unbearable silence

"So indifferent..." Yan Qing pouted, a hint of mockery flashing in her emerald green eyes, deliberately teasing Xia Yuxi, "Just now, you were clearly calling my name with such enthusiasm."

Xia Yuxi, who was struck at a sensitive point, nearly went mad, her face instantly darkening as if doused in soy sauce: "How do you know I don't have any friends?!"

Why did I suddenly think of "him"?

Xia Yuxi's strike, delivered with one hundred percent of her strength, was effortlessly neutralized. She could not retract her foot, which was grasped by Yan Qing, and could only jump in place in frustration and anger, her flushed cheeks resembling two boiled tomatoes

What is going on? Is this a book for scamming money?

She once endured much pain, struggling in a foreign land

Perhaps it is simply because, in such a romantic moment, the person by one's side is neither a prince nor a knight, but merely a perplexing rival—precisely because this is particularly frustrating, one cannot help but think of "him"

At that time, the sorrowful girl could only pray quietly

Such a thick book, yet...! ... except for the first page, all the other pages are blank

She jumped up as if struck by lightning, pointing at Yanqing and shouting: "Nothing happened just now! You must not tell anyone!"

Strange! How could a mirror suddenly appear? ... Could it be ...? ... Did it fall out of a book?

rumbling

Xia Yuxi blinked in disbelief, and what came into view was the enlarged face of Yan Qing. It turned out that at a critical moment, Yan Qing performed a beautiful spin, placing herself underneath Xia Yuxi as a cushion.

That damned Yan Qing! Despicable and shameless! How could he use such things to threaten people! Are you even a man! If I see you again next time, I will definitely make you pay! Despite being very tired, just thinking about that guy's evil deeds in the cave made Xia Yuxi angrily pound the bed repeatedly, wishing she could smash a hole in it.

Mouth, mouth, mouth—colliding, colliding, colliding—collided together!

Amidst the rhythmic sound of tapping, an unusual noise suddenly interjected, resembling something falling from the bed to the floor

Ah?

Hehe! Without further ado! Xia Yuxi stood up and pounced towards that figure, saying: "Take this!"

Indeed, after running for a short while, a small cave that could save lives appeared before Xia Yuxi.

Xia Yuxi angrily threw the superficial and ostentatious book onto the bed. What day is it today! Misfortunes are happening one after another! Even the book borrowed from the library is a wordless one!

Next page

Quickly take off your coat and dry it! Sit close to the fire! Otherwise, with the weather being so cold now, you will definitely catch a cold. The icy winds of winter seemed to launch their attack at the fastest speed, and Yanqing's voice had already become deep and hoarse. He reached out to twist the heavy corner of his school uniform and skillfully lit the fire.

A few faint rust-colored characters are presented on the yellowed parchment.

No matter how beautiful something is, it must be appreciated with like-minded friends to truly feel its beauty. As for me now, I have no mood to gaze at the stars at all. Yan Qing was pouring cold water on the side.

Xia Yuxi unfortunately kicked a stone of moderate size in the cave, and she immediately lost her balance, flailing her arms desperately

Do not wander around, over here! After following Xia Yuxi for quite a while, Yan Qing could no longer bear it and called out sharply to Xia Yuxi. Xia Yuxi suddenly froze in her tracks.

Wait, how did it become like this

She shook her head vigorously and quickened her pace. However, running around aimlessly only caused her to become increasingly lost in her direction

Yan Qing let out a scream, and Xia Yuxi felt a sharp pain at the corner of her mouth. When she opened her eyes, her head suddenly felt as if it had doubled in size, and the blood in her body seemed to be on the verge of freezing.

Yan Qing chuckled lightly as she fiddled with the campfire: "I dare say, if it weren't for me, you would definitely be wandering alone on the streets tonight, right? You seem to have no friends at all..."

The sound of rushing water

As long as I take the opportunity to defeat that self-preserving individual now, the future will belong to me!

In the inner theater of Xia Yuxi's mind, scenes of herself achieving a perfect victory over Yan Qing through a knockout are continuously playing out

To demonstrate one's friendliness and gain the attention of friends

Xia Yuxi, who originally intended to take this book to the library tomorrow to discuss it with the administrator, suddenly fell into deep thought. However, after pondering back and forth, there was still no clue.

What are you doing

The most romantic thing is to gaze at the starry sky together with the person you love

The rain is becoming heavier, enveloping the entire world in a thick layer of mist. The colors of the dense forest involuntarily deepen, and from time to time, flashes of lightning strike, illuminating the dark sky as if it were daylight

Listen to me tell the story of the previous girl

Yan Qing stared fixedly at Xia Yuxi, her eyes and mouth transforming into three large circles of surprise, hanging numbly on her face

I have had enough

Huff—huff—

As Yan Qing's voice fell, a sound akin to the rumble of thousands of chariots and horses rolling over came forth, followed closely by a flash of lightning, its dazzling silver light seeming as if it were about to cleave the sky apart.

Ah? Is it telling the story of a girl? It has some similarities to my own, as expected, heroes are always fated to have tumultuous lives. However, the number of words on this page is rather few, isn't it?" Xia Yuxi murmured to herself as she gently turned the pages of the book

I just borrowed it and hurried to the gym, only to run into that big idiot Yanqing. I haven't even had a good look at the contents inside! With such a beautiful cover, I wonder what kind of beautiful story it tells inside

What what! I have no idea what you are talking about! Hurry up and shut up!" Xia Yuxi shouted in panic, and although her words remained defiant, the look of panic had already betrayed everything.

Unknowingly, a tall figure emerged in her mind, "he" had flowing brown hair and a pair of amber-like clear brown eyes

Xia Yuxi screamed in shock as if she had seen a ghost, her face instantly turning as red as a cooked shrimp

Before Yan Qing could respond, Xia Yuxi was about to pounce, just at that moment—

After having eaten and drunk to her satisfaction, Xia Yuxi lazily leaned against the campfire rack, idly gazing at the night sky

This is an artificial cave in the back mountain specifically designated for students to have outdoor barbecues. It is not only spacious but also features two rows of long benches for resting. Most importantly, there is a row of well-constructed fire racks placed in the middle.

Hmph! I don't need you to pretend to be kind! Although Xia Yuxi's lips had turned pale and her body trembled like a sieve, the anger in her heart was not extinguished by the heavy rain. Watching Yan Qing's busy figure, she rubbed her hands vigorously to keep warm while secretly plotting in her mind.

"Who called you!" Xia Yuxi, filled with anger and embarrassment, executed a beautiful roundhouse kick, her straight leg aimed directly at Yan Qing's handsome face. Just as it was about to make contact, Yan Qing nimbly stepped back and then seized her kicking foot.

A question mark flashed through Xia Yuxi's mind. She sat up in confusion and looked; on the floor by the head of the bed lay a magnificent ancient book with a leather cover.

Ah? Xia Yuxi seemed to have not yet reacted, blinking her eyes in confusion. However, a drop of water was falling from mid-air again onto the tip of her nose, the cool sensation causing her to involuntarily shiver all over

As for this mirror, it is...

Yan Qing spoke, gently shaking the mobile phone in her hand like a shy little rabbit, yet her eyes clearly sparkled with cunning.

Hearing Yanqing's doubt, Xia Yuxi hurriedly propped herself up, but accidentally slipped her hand

"No way? What a strange book!" Xia Yuxi flipped through several pages in succession, only to find that they were all blank!

Ah? Yan Qing almost thought she was hearing things; the girl beside her did not seem like a sentimental girl at all!

With these thoughts in mind, Xia Yuxi burrowed into the quilt, placing the book on her bent knees, and carefully opened the cover that bore an air of mystery

Xia Yuxi was like a shrimp just thrown into a pot of hot oil, jumping up and down in anger: "Why is there none?!"

Ah ah ah ah

A grief and anger greater than the heavens howled in, occupying her chest, and finally transformed into a roar that burst forth from her throat

At that moment, a loud "clang" was heard, as if something had fallen to the ground

Oh? Is it actually blank?

Cave, cave, where is the cave? Wow! It's thundering! Summer Rain Creek dashed wildly through the forest, constantly murmuring to itself.

Oh? Yan Qing asked with great interest, slowly turning to the side, her emerald eyes narrowing into a mocking slit, "If you have friends, then where are they now?"

She blushed and jumped up, pointing at Yanqing and shouting: "Hmph! Stingy! Aren't you just holding a grudge against me for winning a round? Perfect! Let's make the final match a wrestling contest! Whoever falls to the ground first loses!"

"Hello! What do you think is the most romantic thing in the world?" After being well-fed and satisfied, one tends to indulge in whimsical thoughts. Xia Yuxi gazed at the twinkling stars and casually asked.

Ah!

Boom

Isn't this book borrowed from that librarian at the school library

A perfect battle plan, yet there is no perfect ending

This mysterious attitude seems a bit suspicious

They fear the misfortune that may come from approaching her, as well as the slander of rumors

"You have someone you like, don't you?" Yan Qingyu continued to ask relentlessly, as if she had discovered something amusing.

"The stars are truly beautiful, like frozen fireworks..." Xia Yuxi said casually as she gazed at the twinkling stars

"Oh no, it's going to rain." Yan Qing furrowed her brows and looked at the sky. The weather in the forest is truly unpredictable; just a moment ago, it was clear and sunny, and now a heavy rain is approaching.

Under the call of the God of Fatigue, Xia Yuxi quickly fell into a deep sleep

Xia Yuxi's anger surged within her, and she abruptly stood up: "Hey! You big jerk, get this straight! I was only reluctantly forced to watch the stars with you! If you dislike me so much, you shouldn't have provoked me from the very beginning! I would much rather watch the stars with like-minded friends! I don't need to be staring at your annoying face!"

Suddenly, Xia Yuxi's eyes lit up

Suddenly, Xia Yuxi recalled the incredulous gaze of the librarian when she borrowed the book. At that time, she seemed quite surprised that she was borrowing this particular book, and even said: "Only those who harbor a wish can borrow this book"

Yan Qing seemed to ponder for a few seconds, the corners of her mouth slightly lifting: "That—could it be your first kiss?"

It is raining, quickly find a cave to take shelter from the rain

"If you don't want the person you like to know about this matter, then from now on, be obedient, my subject," Yan Qing whispered close to Xia Yuxi's ear, chuckling softly, "because... I just happened to capture a moment of the two of us..."

A flash of lightning suddenly appeared overhead, and the tremendous sound interrupted her movements, while the rumbling thunder followed the lightning, approaching from afar.

Even so, she is unable to obtain those companions, despite her efforts

Yan Qing cast a sidelong glance at Xia Yuxi, shrugged his shoulders in a dismissive manner, and said, "Do you really think anyone would want to stargaze with you on Christmas Eve?"

The front of the mirror faintly glimmers with a subtle copper hue, suggesting it is of considerable antiquity. The back of the mirror is adorned with a starry pattern made of pristine, smooth jade and dazzling glass, with a shallow crescent moon at the center that seems to emit a slightly cool light. The handle of the ancient mirror is intricately carved with elaborate designs, feeling extremely comfortable to hold.

Xia Yuxi ... ... can you come down now? You ... ... are very heavy!'' Finally, Yan Qing frowned and spoke up

Bang! Bang! Bang! Clap
