Pei Siyuan was in a good mood during this time.

In the past, he always felt that his life was uninteresting and dull, but now his days had something to look forward to – every day, in his heart, he looked forward to meeting that girl again.

Yes, after that first encounter in the library, he had found a way to see the girl.

Although he didn’t know why, there was indeed a mysterious power that prevented him from going to various places from time to time, and this was precisely the opportunity to see her and once he felt the invisible obstacle, he would fight against that force, and it turned out that his feeling was not wrong, and after each fight, he would see her again –

She wore a pink dress today, looking even prettier than yesterday. She seemed to like this color very much, the hairpin on her head and the water cup in her school bag were also pink.

She went to her usual breakfast store and bought the same three items: fried buns, tea eggs, and soy milk. The queue at the entrance of the store was always long. He was obviously not the kind of person who would spend time queuing up, but he still patiently waited behind the long queue. 

He got his breakfast and it didn’t taste much different from the other stores, but he still smiled approvingly.

Mmm, delicious.

She often went to the fruit store, and her favorite fruit was apple; she should be very afraid of sourness, every time she chose the red ones that are ripe at glance; she probably didn’t like durians, she always took a detour every time she went to that area.

The list went on and on. It turned out that when he deliberately wanted to see someone, their encounters could become so frequent that at most, he could even see her three times a day.

But it was not easy to see her. The invisible force was too strong. The process of fighting against the mysterious power always seemed so long. Every time he fought against it, he would be exhausted. The time he met her was always so short, so short that it was as fleeting as fireworks, so short that he didn’t even have time to go up to her to say hello and officially get to know her, the girl would always disappear in front of his eyes.

But he just craved the satisfaction of the moment he saw her. This kind of satisfaction was like a traveler in the desert who had been thirsty for a long time and finally got a clear spring, which made him yearn and made him feel painful and sweet.

The girl didn’t know him. She didn’t know there was someone like him who had seen her countless times in various corners – he knew what he was like, like a creep, like a pervert, but so what?

As long as he could see her, he didn’t care about anything else.

The only bad thing was that the time to meet her was too short and too fleeting. The sweetness she handed him disappeared between his lips before he could even taste it.

He thought that he was greedy, after all, such a sneaky meeting could no longer satisfy him- how could he be ever satisfied?

How much he wanted to be closer to her…. even just a little bit…

What was that power in the shadows, why was it stopping him from letting them meet- would there ever be an opportunity for them to meet officially?

Then, when would that particular opportunity come…

This time the meeting was at the gate of his school.

There was no doubt that he came here after fighting against the mysterious power again, and when he found that she appeared at his school, he was surprised because she did not seem to be of a high school student age, and he hadn’t seen her at school.

Sure enough, she was not a student in this school, she was here to find someone.

Pei Siyuan silently watched her laugh and joke with a boy wearing the same school uniform as him. They looked intimate, and the boy even touched her head.

Was he jealous? Yes, a little.

But it was okay, because he heard the girl address him –

She called him, brother.

Pei Siyuan took note of the boy’s face, and found him at school the next day. After some casual inquiries, he learned that the boy happened to be in the class next to him.

Gu Ningcheng, that was his name.

What about her? What would her name be? Must be very nice, right?

He didn’t want to make too many guesses for the time being. He still prefered the feeling of solving the puzzle step by step – to him, she was a puzzle to be solved, always cloaked in mystery, waiting for him to unravel it.

Pei Siyuan had been thinking about how to meet Gu Ningcheng. No matter how eager he was, he couldn’t just rush forward to talk to him.

Fortunately, that time came soon.

He talked to Gu Ningcheng under the guise of helping the teacher deliver exam papers. It was not difficult for a gentle person like Gu Ningcheng to get acquainted with him, and soon they became partners who often went to and from school together. However, he approached Gu Ningcheng not really to make friends, but just to inquire about the girl from his mouth.

It was easy to get the word out of an honest person like Gu Ningcheng. Pei Siyuan just gave a little direction, and the topic naturally shifted to the girl.

Of course Gu Ningcheng didn’t know that Pei Siyuan had already seen his sister in secret many times and had strange thoughts about her. He had a very good relationship with his sister, so when he mentioned her, he always talked a lot. Pei Siyuan pretended to be casual every time, but in fact he kept every word he said firmly in his heart.

Sure enough, she was a young girl, only fifteen years old this year, and still in the second year of junior high school. She was smart and excellent and had good academic performance. She rarely went out of the top ten of her grade and had also topped the list several times.

Xiaoyou.

When Gu Ningcheng mentioned her, he usually called her that.

Xiaoyou…

He really wanted to know what her full name would be, Gu Xiaoyou? Gu Youyou?

They all sounded very good…

As long as it was hers, any name would sound good.

In the evening, he went to Jiang Yao’s junior high school to find her. He didn’t really want to meet Jiang Yao, but he heard from Gu Ningcheng that the girl and Jiang Yao were in the same school.

While waiting at the school gate, Pei Siyuan was a little disappointed.

He didn’t feel that blocking feeling.

She was not here.

“Brother Siyuan!”

Seeing Jiang Yao waving at him, Pei Siyuan pulled out a fake smile: “Yaoyao.”

He still put on a patient face as usual and chatted with Jiang Yao, but in reality he didn’t hear a word Jiang Yao said, he was thinking whether to try his luck tomorrow at the breakfast place where the girl frequented, maybe he would see her again.

“Gu Ningyou is the top again in this midterm exam.” Jiang Yao didn’t notice that the man beside her had long been lost in thought, still talking with unabated interest, “She’s really smart and her grades have always been very stable.”

Pei Siyuan suddenly came back to his senses: “Who are you talking about?”

“Gu Ningyou.” Jiang Yao looked at him doubtfully, “Her grades are particularly good, I remember I mentioned it to you a few times.”

“Oh , it’s her.” Pei Siyuan felt his throat itch, “Hmm, I remember.”

Of course he didn’t remember, in fact, every time Jiang Yao talked to him, he didn’t pay much attention, but now he seemed to know who Jiang Yao was talking about – it was her, right?

The Xiaoyou in Gu Ningcheng’s mouth, the girl he has been thinking about all the time –

So her real name…her name was Gu Ningyou.

It really sounded good, much better than he had imagined.
