71 Watching the Sunrise with the School Beauty (1 / 2)

By the seaside, Fangzhou and Chu Xinran were originally sitting side by side, waiting for the sunrise.

They chatted intermittently, like ordinary friends.

But as they talked, Chu Xinran fell silent, and a fuzzy head rested on Fangzhou’s shoulder.

It turned out that Chu Xinran had fallen asleep, leaning on his shoulder.

“Xinran?”

Fang Zhou called out once, but without a response, he didn’t call out a second time.

The moon gradually receded, and the distant sky began to brighten.

Fang Zhou watched the calm sea, recalling yesterday’s scene in his mind.

Qiao Sisi’s behavior was off; she was speaking normally when she suddenly grabbed a knife.

Which part of the conversation triggered her?

Fang Zhou pondered for a long time, finally pinpointing it to his own words, ‘But I don’t love you anymore.’

It was after those words that Qiao Sisi changed completely, her words and actions becoming bizarre, as if opening Pandora’s box, unleashing an evil demon.

The wound on his arm was still a real presence, occasionally sending pain to remind him that Qiao Sisi truly intended to harm him that morning.

If not for his quick reflexes and the red string, he might not have had the chance to see today’s sun.

Fang Zhou raised his hand, looking at the red string tied around his wrist.

Qiao Sisi had mistaken it for the one she gave him years ago, which snapped her back to reality.

He knew the significance of this string; it was one of the first gifts Qiao Sisi had given him.

The string wasn’t valuable, but it was the thought that counted.

The actress who used to run errands on set, took the time to learn woodworking during her free time, crafting a wooden plaque and a small leaf.

The plaque bore the words ‘Safety,’ which they tied in the temple on the mountain during a hike together.

And that small wooden leaf, Qiao Sisi learned some handicraft to weave him the simplest pattern.

Back then, Fang Zhou was so touched that he wore the red string daily, showing off, while his classmates thought he was flaunting a luxury watch.

But when revealed, it was just a red string, and they ridiculed Fang Zhou as being lovesick.

After they broke up, Fang Zhou took it off and never wore it again.

Little did he expect that his sister’s childish act would save him today.

Fang Zhou couldn’t help but lament his misfortune.

He never imagined that Qiao Sisi was not only crazy but also a yandere.

She wasn’t like this before; she was a bit dramatic, but adorably so.

Why had she become so twisted in just a few years?

Fang Zhou decided he must keep his distance from Qiao Sisi in the future.

It was too terrifying; she’d stab him with a knife over a disagreement. What if he wasn’t so lucky next time?

As he contemplated how to avoid Qiao Sisi in the future, dawn broke, and the sun slowly rose from the east, casting orange light across the entire sky.

“Xinran! Wake up! Look at the sunrise!”

Fangzhou quickly shook Chu Xinran awake to see the sunrise.

The girl opened her eyes in a daze, her first sight not the sky, but Fangzhou.

“Brother…”

Fangzhou nodded, accepting her address, and pointed eastward, reminding her, “Look quickly, the sun is rising!”

His voice carried excitement and agitation, and an unhidden joy.

For a child from the inland, seeing the seaside sunrise for the first time, it was quite restrained not to shout excitedly like a monkey.

71 Watching the Sunrise with the School Beauty (2/2)

Chu Xinran followed his gesture and indeed saw the newly risen sun, immediately sitting upright.

She stood up happily and ran towards the sun as if to embrace the sunrise.

“Ah, so beautiful!”

Fangzhou stood behind, watching her with a smile, not forgetting to remind her, “Be careful, don’t get swept away by the waves!”

Chu Xinran slowed down, walked onto the beach, took off her shoes, and stepped barefoot on the soft sand, shouting excitedly at Fangzhou.

“Come and play!”

She lifted her skirt, leaving footprints in the sand with her feet, like a child deliberately stepping in puddles on a rainy day.

Fangzhou smiled faintly, finding her actions amusing yet feeling a twinge of heartache.

Chu Xinran, as a child, must have rarely indulged in such play.

After dating her for a while, this naive girl had laid bare all her circumstances.

She grew up in an orphanage until she was adopted at eight, slowly experiencing the warmth of a family in her new home.

But the new family was strict with her: she had to be first in her studies, win awards in dance and vocal competitions, and always be mindful of her image when out.

As a result, Chu Xinran held herself to the highest standards everywhere, gradually forming a habit, never acting out such as taking off her shoes in public.

Fangzhou thought she had been stung by a jellyfish when she suddenly bowed her head silently, and he rushed over to check on her.

“What are you doing?”

Upon closer inspection, he found her writing in the sand.

“Look, I’ve circled our happiness, so it won’t leak out.”

The girl finished writing, looked up at Fangzhou with a radiant smile, her eyes shining with the sun’s brilliance.

Fangzhou looked down and saw his name and Chu Xinran’s, encircled with a heart.

It was a cliché and childish act, but coming from Chu Xinran, it didn’t feel tiresome.

Instead, her pure aura and the beauty she was unaware of only made hearts flutter.

Fangzhou felt his heart jolted by something, a mix of heaviness and warmth.

However, he quickly recovered and whispered,

“But soon it will be washed away by the waves.”

He was hinting to Chu Xinran that their relationship was like the writing on this beach—fleeting yet beautiful, but not everlasting.

Fang Zhou certainly knew what it meant when Chu Xinran came out to watch over him as he slept in the middle of the night.

She probably still liked him.

A pure girl can never forget her first love; even after two years without seeing each other, her passion reignited at the sight of him.

From the first day’s text message, Chu Xinran never hid her affection for him.

From noble mtl dot nete

Fang Zhou was no fool.

It’s just a pity that he couldn’t accept it.

“It’s okay, I’ll just take a picture!”

Chu Xinran said cheerfully, taking out her phone and ‘click’—captured the moment.

Fang Zhou couldn’t bear to speak words that would hurt her, so he could only walk her back.

“Let’s go back, the nurse will be looking for someone soon.”

Chu Xinran obediently nodded, following him for a dozen meters before turning back to look at the line of writing, which remained firmly in place, not washed away by the waves.

The girl curved her eyes into a happy smile: “I told you Fang Zhou is mine, even the sea agrees.”
