Another Way To Remind Me How Much I Love You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The room was dimly lit. The two looked at each other’s shadowed faces in the camera and whispered sweet words.

An electrifying romance bloomed.

“Not getting to meet each other is also another way to remind me how much I love you,” he finally said. “I want to be by your side even more now. Can I sleep now?”

Lin Wan’s face was flushed. She buried her head in her blanket.

Meanwhile, Li Yanchen was awed. He didn’t know how they had come up with such a thing. It felt both unique and embarrassing.

He took a quick shower and prepared to sleep.

Lin Wan’s forehead was covered in sweat. After trying to sleep for a while, she threw her blanket aside. She couldn’t fall asleep.

In the video call earlier, she had been talking with Li Yanchen and things had…

escalated.

She covered her face with her hands. ‘This is so embarrassing!’

Meanwhile, at Yun Xi High School, Li Zexuan and Sun Mingtao headed to the basketball court at the same time as the day before.

He sat down on one of the benches, saying that he wanted to watch the game for a while. In fact, he wanted to see if Xie Wanyu would appear again.

Xie Wanyu had changed into a pair of pink-rimmed glasses this time. She came out of the computer rooms and deliberately took a path away from the court.

It was about to be nine at night, and Li Zexuan still saw Xie Wanyu nowhere near the court.

Lu Wenqian, who was next to him, offered him water and snacks, but he refused.

The doors to his dormitory hall would close soon. Li Zexuan gave up. Perhaps Xie Wanyu was too occupied to visit the computer rooms today.

“I am heading back to the dorms,” said Li Zexuan as he got up from the bend. “I will walk with you,” said Lu Wenqian. She stood up to follow him.

“There’s no need.” He walked away.

Lu Wenqian was disappointed. They had sat side by side the whole time and hadn’t even talked to each other.

“Wenaian. I will treat vou to some skewers.” said Sun Minctao. “Let’s co! I will walk you to your dorms. Don’t worry about him. Xuanxuan can find his own way to the dorms.” Sun Mingtao realized that Li Zexuan’s mood wasn’t good. If Lu Wenqian kept pestering him, he might get angry and snap at her. “Alright,” said Lu Wenqian. “Li Zexuan, see you tomorrow!”

Li Zexuan didn’t turn back. He kept walking until he reached the wisteria flower rack from the night before. He hoped he could find her here.

In his backpack, he carried a small pack with five pairs of glasses.

Xie Wanyu had gone back to her room. She had taken a quick shower. She then took a short walk to the wisteria flower rack. She thought that there was a slim chance of finding Li Zexuan here. If she did, she would accept his compensation, so he wouldn’t get scolded by his father.

Xie Wanyu had worried so much that she hadn’t been able to sleep properly last night.

She brought a book along and a small lamp. She put the lamp on the bench and opened her book.

As he approached the wisteria rack, Li Zexuan noticed a bright light on the bench reflecting someone who was stooped over her book.

She was in her dark-blue school uniform. Her hair was pulled up in a ponytail. She was engrossed in her book.

His heart swelled with happiness. However, he didn’t want to disturb her. So, he stood at the side and watched her as she continued with her studying.

The autumn wind blew the wisteria petals everywhere. One landed on her book.

Xie Wanyu smiled and put the petal away in the pages of the book. She raised her head and saw Li Zexuan.

Li Zexuan pretended as though he had met her here by sheer coincidence.

“Hi! So, we meet again,” he said as he walked toward her.

Xie Wanyu turned and saw him. “Oh… hi! I actually came here hoping I would find you.” She smiled.

“Oh?” Li Zexuan felt happy without reason. He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. “Actually… I was here hoping to find you too.”

“But why?” both said at the same time.

They chuckled awkwardly. Both fell silent.

Li Zexuan cleared his throat. “I will go first then,” he said.

He unzipped his bag. “These are for you,” he said, taking out a smaller bag from inside. “I didn’t know your prescription, so I kind of guessed them and bought these glasses ranging from 100 to 500. If this doesn’t work for you, you can tell me. I will go and have them changed.”

Xie Wanyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at the glass cases.

“I am so sorry,” said Xie Wanyu. “When I went back to my room, my roommate told me about how strict your father is. My other glass was cheap. It only costs a few yuan. If I had known before, I would have told you.”

She could have told him the power of her glasses and saved him all the pain. “Which glass is the one with the power of a 100? I will take that one. You can return the rest and get your money back.”

Li Zexuan looked at the glass cases, chose the one on which “100 degrees” was written, and handed it to her.

“That’s alright. I can keep them and give them to my fans if they have the same power,” he said awkwardly.

“I’m Year 2, class 3. What about you?” Li Zexuan asked.

“Year 2, class 6. Thank you for the glasses. We should head back.”

“Xie Wanyu, you didn’t visit the computer rooms today?” he asked. Suddenly.

“How did you know I visited the computer rooms?” Xie Wanyu was doubtful.

“The path you took yesterday led to the computer rooms. I was thinking that since the computer test was coming up, you might be there to practice. I waited in the court today but didn’t see you. So, I came to take a look here when I was heading back to my dorms,” said Li Zexuan.

Xie Wanyu felt an inexplicable sense of sympathy for Li Zexuan. He must be

really scared of his father to go to this length to return her glasses.

“I am so sorry. I didn’t know your father was so strict. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have rejected your offer for the glasses yesterday. Now, you can go back and inform him.” She lowered her head.

“No, it’s alright. I just… c-can we be friends?” Li Zexuan stammered.

“What?” asked Xie Wanyu.

“You know what they say, if you never fight, you don’t make friends… or something like that…’

Li Zexuan tried to remain composed. Internally, he was nervous. He didn’t know what he was rambling about.

Xie Wanyu became vigilant. Luan Rongrong had told her that many girls chased after Li Zexuan, but they never dared get too close to him, except Lu Wenqian.

That was partly true. Li Zexuan had never taken the initiative to extend friendship toward another female student before. He always seemed unapproachable.

But now he was asking her to be his friend.

“Uh… I only have one friend in the whole school. His name is Sun Mingtao. But… he has been acting like such a snitch these days. He just hangs out with Lu Wenqian and tells her about my whereabouts. I have been in this high school for almost three years now. I don’t even have a friend I can actually rely on. It’s such a shame” said Li Zexuan in an attempt to explain.

“I… I have to head back for now. Goodnight.” Xie Wanyu picked up her lamp and her book and ran toward her dorm.

Xie Wanyu was suspicious. Why would famous Li Zexuan want to be friends with her all of a sudden? ‘Is it because he knows about my past and is just trying to make life harder for me here?’

However, she felt that he looked very sincere when he asked her to be his friend.

Luan Rongrong was just drying her hair when she saw the flustered girl entering the room with a spectacle case in her hands.

She turned off the hairdryer. “Wanyu, is that from Li Zexuan?” she asked in surprise. “Did you go to meet him just now?”

“I… no! I was sitting on the bench and reading my book. He happened to pass by. He said he bought the glasses because he broke mine. He bought five of them because he didn’t know my prescription. I chose one and ran here.”

“Wanyu, this… this definitely doesn’t look as simple as him just trying to compensate you for the broken glasses because his father would scold him! ” said Luan Rongrong. “I mean, nobody would even know about it, would they?”

Luan Rongrong felt that something was not right..
