Chapter 51: Me? I’m Not Being Controlled by Him


The cold on the mountain was freezing to the bone.


Luckily, there was a warm blanket to use… but… how did things end up like this?


When she said those “inviting” words earlier, Lin Yibai really wanted to slap herself. Why did she have to give that annoying rival a “sweet treat”?


At that moment, she was already thinking to herself, ‘I hope that annoying rival can see what’s going on and take the hint.’


But clearly, Lin Yibai couldn’t handle the cold anymore.


Just because he’s a guy, does that mean Xia Changyu can handle it better?


‘Don’t come over, annoying rival. Don’t come here.’


‘No, don’t, come, here!! Please, if you’re smart, just say no to me, and give me a way out of this, so I won’t have to share the blanket with you.’


But the response from him was, “Really? I can come?”


“......”


So what was that answer even supposed to mean? Lin Yibai wanted to take back what she said and say, ‘No, you can’t.’


Still… maybe it’s not that big of a deal.


It wasn’t that she was being shy about sharing a blanket with a guy.


She just felt like… two guys wrapped in one blanket wasn’t a huge deal anyway. What she regretted was making it easier for that annoying rival.


Lin Yibai didn’t want to overthink it anymore. She just turned her head to the side and said, “It’s not a big deal… it’s not like I’m losing anything.”


“Thank you.”


“You’re the one who found the blanket, what are you thanking me for?” Lin Yibai hesitated a little, then said honestly, “If anything, I’m the one who should thank you. I’m the one being taken care of here.”


Please stop saying thank you. I don’t deserve it.


This was just a win-win situation. No need to make it complicated.


But still, some things needed to be made clear.


Taking a deep breath, Lin Yibai said, “But don’t get the wrong idea, okay? It’s… it’s not like I wanted to share the blanket with you. Don’t overthink it, got it?”


“Got it!”


Finally, Xia Changyu got into the blanket. The two of them were sitting pretty close. He could feel the warmth and softness coming from Lin Yibai.


He couldn’t help but think, ‘Does this count as sleeping together?’


Maybe because he was feeling excited, Xia Changyu was still full of energy and felt like he could talk all night.


But sadly, Lin Yibai was really tired.


She wasn’t like Xia Changyu, who drove himself on a road trip and then took a long nap in a hotel.


She had to take the high-speed train, switch trains, plan things, keep watch… she was exhausted!


Xia Changyu couldn’t help but ask, “Lin Yibai, what department are you in? What’s your major?”


“I don’t know.” Lin Yibai closed her eyes and said, “I’m really tired and sleepy right now… so from now on, please stop talking to me. Don’t bother me. Let me rest, okay?”


Xia Changyu: “Okay, I promise.”


Lin Yibai: “Mm.”


Xia Changyu: “When the sun rises, I’ll wake you up for sure.”


Lin Yibai: zzZZZ


She was too tired. This was definitely going to be a good sleep.


She had a dream, in the dream, she had a cute girlfriend who was just as beautiful as when she was in her girl form now.


But sadly, someone came and ruined it.


That annoying rival again! You’re trying to steal my girl again?!


“Creak, creak~”


In her sleep, Lin Yibai ground her teeth with anger. Even in her dream, she was mad. In real life, her teeth were actually making grinding sounds.


Annoying rival, you with the surname Xia, I hope you suffer!


“She must be having a nightmare, huh?”


Xia Changyu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. He was pretty sure this girl didn’t have a habit of grinding her teeth in her sleep.


So… who exactly made her so angry?


Was she dreaming of someone else in her sleep?


Did she have someone she liked at school? Probably not… but she was definitely someone many people liked!


As time passed…


A long while later, Xia Changyu suddenly snapped out of it and said, “Wait, why am I thinking about this kind of stuff? I haven’t even figured things out with Gu Xiaoxue, and now I’m getting distracted.”


He couldn’t help but think of a classic line from a TV drama, ‘You just want her body. How low!’


But… was it really just about that?


Xia Changyu preferred to call it “being attracted.”


He admitted it, he was attracted to Lin Yibai’s beauty, her vibe, and her personality.


“Sigh~”


In the darkest moment before dawn, Xia Changyu let out a soft sigh.


He knew very well what he should do now.


“First, I need to deal with things with Gu Xiaoxue. Then I can think about other stuff.”


“And the first thing is… breaking up.”


“This time, there’s no turning back.”


Xia Changyu believed that as a person, at the very least, you should have some self-respect. You should be able to tell what’s important and what’s not. We’re all adults, we should know what we should or shouldn’t do.


And clearly, Gu Xiaoxue was a trap.


He also had to admit one thing, that he had started to like the girl beside him.


But now, he was beginning to doubt himself a little.


Was it real affection? Or was he just attracted to her looks?


Xia Changyu got stuck in that question for a long time. But really, no matter how much he thought about it, it didn’t help.


Right now, he just had to break up. He had to. 


He must break up with Gu Xiaoxue. Then, he could think about other things.


Xia Changyu really did have a lot of energy. He ended up thinking about all of this until dawn.


A streak of red appeared on the edge of the sea.


The sunrise at the beach came very early. It was only a bit after 5 a.m. when it started rising over the water.


Some people on the rocks by the shore had already set up their cameras.


He gently nudged Lin Yibai. She didn’t seem to notice right away, she used his arm as a pillow.


And even placed his palm right between her knees like she was holding a pillow at home.


“Uh…”


Xia Changyu was stunned.


He really wanted to freeze this moment forever. But sadly, he didn’t have the courage to take advantage of the situation.


After thinking a bit, he still decided to call her again, “Lin Baiyi, wake up. Look at the sunrise.”


Lin Yibai: “……”


Xia Changyu: “Lin Baiyi!!”


Ugh~ so sleepy. Lin Yibai finally opened her sleepy eyes. Honestly, she didn’t want to see the sunrise at all. To her, even a hard wooden bed sounded a hundred times better than that red sun.


So… could she just not look?


Xia Changyu was already just like the other travelers. He had set up his phone long ago and had been waiting for this moment.


Everything was ready —


All he needed now… was a girl to appear in his photo?


(っ- ‸ -ς)


Lin Yibai yawned and asked, “Are you trying to take a picture of me?”


“Well, who else? The sun?”


“Isn’t the sunrise about the sun? Shouldn’t the sun be the star of the photo?”


“I just want you to be a part of the picture. Is that okay?”


“Please spare me!”


“Why are you so different from other girls? Other girls would want their 128GB phone to have 129GB worth of their photos. But you won’t even let me take one!”


“I just want to look at the sunrise.”


“So?”


“I saw it. It’s very pretty.”


“……”


Xia Changyu gave up.


He had really prepared everything, hoping to take a perfect picture, the kind you’d hang next to your bed.


But Lin Yibai just didn’t feel like playing along. She felt like she had already been caught in this annoying rival’s trap too many times.


Was it just her imagination?
