Volume 3 Chapter 52: This Isn’t a Daydream?!
After hearing the girl’s words, Lin’s mother fell silent for a moment.
After a while, she blinked in surprise and asked in disbelief, “You’re looking for… Xiao Yu?”
“Yes!” Gao Ye quickly nodded. Then she realized she had not introduced herself yet. She hurried to say, “Hello, Auntie. My name is Gao Ye. I’m Gao Liang’s younger sister, and also a friend of Lin Yu and Lin Lin. When Lin Yu got hurt, I was there too. So I specially brought some things to visit him!”
“Oh…”
Lin’s mother still looked a little shocked. Xiao Yu had never been good at talking to girls. He was not as quiet as Xiao Lin, but still, having a girl come to the house asking about him was really surprising.
Wait… this girl in front of her…
Was she the younger sister that Gao Liang had mentioned several times?
“So you’re Gao Liang’s sister! Gao Ye, right? Haha, since you’re Xiao Yu’s friend, please come in!”
Lin’s mother stepped aside. Gao Ye walked into the house carefully. Lin’s mother was still surprised as she went to check on Lin Yu in his room.
After a while, she came back to the living room, took out a pair of slippers for the girl, and said a little awkwardly,
“Sorry, Xiao Ye. It seems Xiao Yu has fallen asleep. Should I wake him up?”
“Oh, no need, no need.” Out of politeness, Gao Ye quickly waved her hands. Since she had come to visit a sick person, how could she disturb his rest?
“Then… Xiao Ye, would you like to wait in the living room for a while?”
“Uh…”
Gao Ye suddenly paused. She realized something, if Lin Yu was asleep, then… where should she stay?
Either she would sit in the living room and awkwardly chat with the adults, or she would leave the fruit basket and go home.
That sounded so boring.
Uh…
Lin’s mother noticed her hesitation. She thought for a moment, then smiled and said,
“How about you go wake Xiao Yu up yourself? You two can talk alone for a while.”
“L-Like that?”
Gao Ye felt shy. But Lin’s mother happily pushed her toward Lin Yu’s room. No matter what, she did not want this kind-hearted girl to feel awkward standing in the living room.
At that moment, Lin’s father came out of the kitchen. When he saw a girl suddenly in the living room, he looked surprised.
Lin’s mother pushed the girl into Lin Yu’s bedroom and gently closed the door. Then she turned around and smiled at her husband.
“Who was that?” Lin’s father asked while wiping his hands with a towel.
“Ahem, she seems to be Gao Liang’s younger sister. She said she came to visit Xiao Yu. She’s a friend of Xiao Lin and Xiao Yu.”
Lin’s mother smiled softly. Lin’s father frowned a little and sat back on the sofa, but did not say much.
“A friend, huh…”
“Oh, come on~” Lin’s mother quickly stopped him when she saw his serious face. “I’ll remind the young people to behave properly.”
………………
Being suddenly pushed into the room of a boy she was not very close to, Gao Ye felt very nervous at first.
Luckily, she looked around the bedroom and saw nothing strange, except for Lin Yu, who was sleeping on the bed.
Ahem, not that Lin Yu himself was strange.
She moved a small stool and sat beside him. Auntie Lin seemed to want her to wake him up, but…
In the quiet room, Gao Ye could not help but start watching the boy’s sleeping face.
His breathing was steady and calm. He even looked a little cute.
Hehe.
This was the second boy’s sleeping face she had ever looked at closely, the first one was her brother’s.
And… it was not bad at all.
Gao Ye reached out her hand to wake him up. However, maybe because she was a little excited, her arm moved too much. Together with the sound of her breathing, it accidentally woke Lin Yu, who had been sleeping deeply.
Then…
As his vision slowly changed from blurry to clear, Lin Yu opened his eyes in a daze. Suddenly, he saw a delicate and beautiful face right in front of him. Long eyelashes moved gently. Her hair fell softly down, and because she was so close, the ends of her hair even touched his face, making it feel itchy.
The girl’s face looked young and shy. But when she realized that Lin Yu had woken up, she became even more embarrassed and quickly moved back, sitting up straight.
Strange…
Lin Yu felt his heart beat faster. He opened his eyes wide, confused about what he had just seen.
That girl was… Gao Ye?!
H-How could that be?
Lin Yu first let out a sigh. He must still be dreaming, right?
Even if he was really awake, there was no way such a cute and beautiful girl like Gao Ye would appear beside his bed. At most… it would be his sister with her usual unhappy face.
He was used to that kind of scene. So now, seeing something like a daydream, he could only think he was still dreaming.
Ah, I haven’t woken up yet?
No, wait. Why would he dream about Gao Ye? This strange dream… why was she in it?
They were not even that close. They had only met twice and chatted a little online.
Although… although he did have some good feelings toward her, it should not be enough to dream about her so soon, right? And in this kind of situation too.
Lin Yu shyly raised his head and looked around the bedroom. Other than Gao Ye sitting beside him with a shy face, there was no one else.
Hmm. A boy and a girl alone in a room. He must be dreaming.
Lin Yu turned back to look at her. Suddenly, a childish idea came into his mind.
Ah…
Since it’s a dream anyway…
Then he could do whatever he wanted, right?
On the other side, Gao Ye was startled when Lin Yu suddenly woke up. But instead of speaking, the boy stayed silent and stared blankly for a while.
After a moment, he turned to look at her. Before Gao Ye could say anything—
Lin Yu suddenly reached out his hand and gently held her hand.
Ah…
Holding hands… feels pretty nice.
It feels so real.
“……”
Wait, real?
Had his imagination become so strong that he could even clearly feel the soft touch of a girl’s skin?
Wait. Now that he thought about it, earlier he had also felt her hair touching his face.
That level of detail… c-could it be…
“Um… ahem, Lin Yu, what are you doing?”
“Ah—!”
Lin Yu quickly let go of her hand and looked at the real, living Gao Ye in panic.
Th-this…
This isn’t a dream!
Hiss—
Gao Ye was really sitting beside him?!
