Chapter 8 Are You the Right Person?
Just because I saw your eyes, I forgot the whole world.

Probably because my body temperature dropped rapidly, I was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness. In the chaos, I seemed to see He Xue again. She was still the same, standing in the crowd and looking at me, her eyes full of expectation and begging. She kept looking at me like that until the expectation in her eyes slowly extinguished bit by bit.
The next second, water suddenly gushed out from all around her, and huge waves rose on the surface of the water, which was about to drown her in an instant...
"No!" I screamed and woke up, only to find myself in heaven, surrounded by warmth. I closed my eyes helplessly, perhaps, at this moment, I was still dreaming?
I prayed anxiously that God would give me a good dream this time.
Sure enough, the next second, a gentle male voice called me softly: "Hexue, are you awake?"
His voice was soft and gentle, as if I was a bird that happened to perch in front of him. He was afraid that a louder voice would scare me away, so he carefully confirmed: "Hexue, are you really awake?"
I opened my eyes blearily and met a pair of eyes full of anxiety and panic.
It’s Xu Yun.
"Xu Yun..."
"Hexue." Seeing me wake up, Xu Yun was overjoyed and pulled me into his arms, saying repeatedly, "That's great, that's great, Hexue, you finally woke up. Are you still cold? Are you feeling better?" As he spoke, he hugged me tighter and rubbed my back up and down with his hands, trying to help me restore my body temperature.
I suddenly remembered the beautiful dream about the warm paradise. It was not a dream, the warmth like the sun came from Xu Yun's embrace, he used his body temperature to wake me up from the hallucination.
I curled up in Xu Yun's arms like a cat, greedily enjoying the warmth from his body. My limbs felt as if soaking in a hot spring, and my consciousness gradually recovered with the warmth.
I moved slightly, trying to break free from his embrace: "Xu Yun..."
"Don't move." Xu Yun hugged me tightly, as if she was afraid that I would fly away if she let go.
I felt his warm breath against my ear.
He said, "Hexue, you scared me to death, please don't leave me again, okay?"
He hugged me tighter, his sweet voice trembling slightly. Although I couldn't see his expression, I could tell that he was so nervous and scared, as if I would disappear in front of him in the next second.
"Xu Yun, I'm fine, really." I comforted him softly while turning my neck, "Can you let me go first? I can hardly breathe."
"Oh, oh." He quickly stepped back and let me go. He shone the weak light of his phone on me and anxiously checked my body. "Hexue, are you really okay?"
As soon as I looked up, I saw his sparkling eyes. His eyes were slightly red, as if he had just cried.
I was startled and asked hurriedly: "Xu Yun, are you crying?"
He pursed his lips and didn't answer me. He carefully checked my arms and legs from top to bottom. After confirming that I was okay, he opened his arms and held me tightly in his arms, muttering to himself: "Hexue, do you know? I was really scared by you. I thought..."
"It's okay!" His voice was so hoarse that it made me feel distressed. I patted his back gently and comforted him, "Look, I'm fine, aren't I?"
"Hexue." He let me go, looked at me intently and said, "Can you promise me one thing? "
The dim light of the phone shone on his face. I saw my own shadow in his eyes and suddenly felt anxious. I knew that the moment I had been waiting for had finally come.
"Hexue, can you stay with me forever and never leave?" He kept looking into my eyes while saying this, without a trace of hesitation on his handsome face.
This is probably a confession, right?
I secretly clenched my fists and reminded myself that this was not enough. Compared to what Song Hexue had done for him, how could this one sentence be enough?
I pretended not to understand: "What did you say?"
"I said..." He took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, "I said, I like you, Song Hexue. Please stay with me forever and never leave me again."
Never leave again?
Unfortunately, that person has left forever!
That person left with regret and will never come back!
That person will never have the chance to hear you say these words in person again!
Hexue, did you hear that?
I heard the long-awaited "I like you, Song Hexue" for you.
But I know that these are not enough!
I turned my head away so that he couldn't see the tears in my eyes, and asked directly: "You said you like Song Hexue, so what exactly do you like about Song Hexue? She's just an ugly fat girl with no self-awareness. What's more, she is so annoying and clingy, and she often wears weird clothes. It's bad enough that she embarrasses herself, but she also often makes people around her laugh at her. What's so good about her that you like her? Don't tell me that you don't need a reason to like someone." I deliberately changed the first person to the third person, finished it in one breath, and looked at him expressionlessly.
He was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and reached out to touch my hair. I turned my head away and his hand froze in mid-air.
But the next second, he reluctantly reached out his hand again, and when I moved away again, I heard his hearty laughter.
He said: "There are many reasons, but the most important one is your stubborn character."
"anything else?"
"You have the courage to admit that you are fat and you are not ashamed of it. You are optimistic and open-minded. You are smart, or cunning. You look fierce, but you actually have a gentle and kind heart."
"No." Looking at his serious face, I suddenly had a bad feeling.
The person he described was not the Song Hexue I remembered.
He ignored me, turned his head to look at me and smiled, then he reached out to touch my hair and said with a triumphant smile: "But these are not the reasons why I really like you."
