Chapter Text
Gasp. It's the dream again. A dream where in Wei ying says goodbye like he's never coming back. I prayed for the happenings to be reversed. But it didn't. It's the eighth day today since the dream started. Sigh. Lan Zhan wiped a tear from her face then went and decided to prepare for the day even though it's still 4 am.
~~~~~~
Lan Zhan and Wei Ying are in a cafe called Revive. They decided to study there for their coming final exam.
" Baobei, I kinda need your help in understanding this part... " Wei Ying looked at Lan zhan beside him. As expected, she's spacing out again.
" Lan zhan. Lan zhan. Baobei?" I touched her shoulders. She blinked.
" Mn."
" You okay?"
"Mn."
" Umm. If you say so. So, Im kinda confused with this..." Wei Ying said as he showed Lan Zhan a part where he pretended he cannot understand. To be honest, he understands it. He just want Lan Zhan to interact with him to bring her out of whatever is bothering her.
Surely something is up with Lan zhan. The past days, she seems clingy and she's not clingy. Not that Wei Ying is complaining! He loves it.
They've been together for a year and a half and she rarely initiates anything with him. They haven't kissed on the lips yet. Not even a peck. They agreed on it mutually. Both of them want to save their first kiss on their wedding day.
Aside from the clinging, Wei Ying also noticed her sad looking face everytime they part ways. It hurts his heart. She's looking at him as if she's not gonna see him anymore. She has that extra strong grip while holding Wei Ying hands that would stay longer than usual before she lets go.
Wei Ying wants to know what's bothering her but she'll just tell him she's fine whenever he asks her. That she's just a bit tired.
" Oh I see! Smart as always Lan zhan. " Wei Ying said after Lan Zhan explained what he already understand.
" Not smart. "
" Aiya! When I say you're smart then you're smart! Got it? " Wei Ying said and Lan Zhan just sighed.
" Fine. "
Suddenly Wei Ying's phone rang. Then he immediately stood up.
" Sorry Baobei! I have to go! See you later alright? " Wei ying said. Then he walked towards the door after gathering his things and kissing Lan Zhan's cheek.
He missed the look of hurt and sadness in Lan zhan's eyes. And a tear fell on her beautiful cheek.

At a jewelry store, a young man is seen entering with a big grin on his face.

Wei ying and Lan Xichen, Lan Zhan's brother, have a talk under the tree inside the Cloud Recess University after eating lunch from the cafeteria.
" What is it Wei Ying? Why is A Zhan not allowed to hear this conversation? Is it about her?"
" Yeah. It' s about her. Uhm.. did you notice something different about Lan zhan? "
" Not much. But if you mean the clinging Lan zhan, don't you enjoy it?" Xi chen said with a teasing voice. Wei Ying blushed.
" Ah hahaha. Of course I enjoy it. But that's not it!" Wei Ying said sounding a bit frustrated amidst his blushing.
" What is it then?"
"Did she not tell you anything? She's just... she has that look in her eyes that seems sad and hurt whenever we part ways. Did you see her face as the two of us left the cafeteria earlier? "
" Wei ying, maybe it's just your imagination. A lover does have that sad eyes sometimes whenever their partner leaves. Maybe she just doesn't want to part with you yet earlier haha."
"Isnt it.. Sigh. I mean I'm happy she doesn't want to part with me but she looks at me like she's not gonna see me anymore. And we see each other everyday. "
Xichen looked at Wei ying.
" Well, not everyday. But almost everyday isn't it? Since we 're in the same campus. "
" Really?" Xichen asked looking thoughtful.
" Yes! You remembered that one time she held my hand longer than usual before letting go? I'm so close to inviting her at my place but I don't want to... You know! Temptations are everywhere. Most especially when two people are alone."
" Now that you mention it, I caught her one time during midnight, I heard her sniffling like she's crying from her room. Mom also told me about Lan zhan who apparently asked her about how mom felt after her separation with dad years ago. Then mom asked me if the two of you fought or something. I told her you two are fine and that your relationship is going strong."
" Did she somehow thought we broke up?"
" Must be because of A-zhan's question. I just brushed it before but now I realized , the question really did seem strange. If Lan zhan is really just curious, she could have asked that kind of question earlier right? Why now after all these years..... "
" Chen ge, do you think she's planning on breaking up with me? " Wei Ying said. He looks like he's going to cry.
"Of course not! She loves you so much. You know that more than anyone."
"Arghhh, what should I do?"
"You should talk to her, Wei Ying."

Lan Zhan and Wei Ying are on a date right now. Everything is so perfect. Wei ying planned it carefully. Right now they are in a beach. Their last destination for the date probably as the sun is setting.
Maybe after this he'll finally get to it. The day he'll break up with me then go away. Like in my dream. Lan Zhan thought as she looked towards the wonderful horizon standing side by side with Wei Ying close with each other but not touching.
" Lan zhan"
Lan Zhan turned her face towards Wei Ying. He smiled widely. His face so bright.
" We've been through so much together. You helped me grow in several areas of my life. Thank God He let me meet you.. "
Is this it? The goodbye speech ? Lan Zhan asked in her head.
" Now I finally understand clearly why God created a woman for the man" Wei Ying continues
Then suddenly, he stoop down one knee on the ground. Lan Zhan is surprised seeing that. Is he going to...
" Wei Ying, what-"
" I was planning to do this on graduation day but.. " Wei Ying said as he gets something out from his pocket.
H-He can't be.. She gasp as soon as she saw him hold a cute ring box. When he open it, she saw a very beautiful carved ring in it.
"Lan Zhan, I know it might not be soon but I want to give you a symbol of my love for you. A symbol of my saying yes to you forever."
"W-Wei Ying, you.. are you proposing to me?"
"Yes, Lan Zhan." He says smiling..
So he is not leaving me then?
Hearing what he said, she cant help but hug the man. "Wei Ying, Wei Ying!"
The man laugh softly at her reaction. "Are you that happy?"
Lan zhan looks at Wei ying with teary eyes. "Thank you, Wei Ying."
"Aiya, did I make you cry? Sorry Baobei. I take it as a yes then?"
"Mm. I will always say yes to Wei Ying."
Thank God! I really thought he'll go away like in the dream...
