“Why can’t they be together? Is it another long-lost sibling story? They’re just fooling naive tears like yours!”
“Yes, how stupid. I’ll never watch such stupid things again!”
“How come you’re not arguing with me? That’s not like you!” Fang Yuzhe was unaccustomed to being agreed with so easily.
Xia Yuluo hugged him, “I know TV is fake, but it still makes me feel that when two people can be together, they should cherish each other.”
Fang Yuzhe was completely exasperated, “What drama is this? This kind of show should be banned!”
This well-intentioned lie lasted for over a month. A month later, Yuluo had started school, but she transformed from a studious student who would attend class even when sick to a bad student who skipped mandatory and elective classes, spending all her free time sticking close to Fang Yuzhe.
“Yuluo, why did you suddenly stop loving studying?” Fang Yuzhe was curious.
“Who loves studying? Anyway, someone’s willing to support me!”
“If you don’t love studying, just drop out of college. We’ll make money together and travel the world.”
“Is this your dream?” Xia Yuluo asked seriously.
“I guess so. My dream is to earn enough money to travel the world with someone I love!”
Yuluo nodded, “My dream is exactly the same. If you mean what you say, I’ll really drop out.”
Fang Yuzhe always kept his promises but didn’t believe his girlfriend would make such a major decision so readily.
“Reflection
Fang Yuzhe attributed his doubts to himself after experiencing a blindness episode lasting over three minutes.
Three minutes was brief, but suddenly losing sight and falling into complete darkness made time seem to stand still.
He was driving on the city’s main road, and if his friend wasn’t in the passenger seat who could drive, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
“Yuluo, honestly tell me, is there something wrong with my body?”
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Xia Yuluo played dumb.
“I couldn’t see anything for a long time today, my eyes couldn’t see any light at all!”
Xia Yuluo’s heart went as dark as his blind eyes.
“Should I accompany you to see a doctor?”
“Do you really not know?”
“Know what? Don’t scare yourself!”
