Lin Xi slept fitfully, her dreams filled with people and events from her past. In one dream, she was all alone in a vast manor, longing to speak to someone, but there was no one else there. The scene shifted, showing her father's strictness, his high hopes for her, and a jumble of other memories.
Eventually, she dreamt of Xue Yang. They were so happy together, and he took her to do many things she had never experienced before. She thought they would be together forever, but then one day, he suddenly left her. No matter how she called out, he wouldn't appear. The nightmare startled her awake. When she opened her eyes and saw Xue Yang was still there, her insecure heart was finally put at ease.
She glanced at the time—it was almost noon. With a hoarse voice, she said, "Xue Yang, why aren't you in class? You must be late. Hurry and go."
