The living room was spacious and bright, a dreamy vastness filled with cool air. A chill spread across the soles of my feet. My eyelids lingered on the warmth the blanket offered as it flipped over my head, unwilling to open.

A thought popped into my head: my feet were uncovered! I lazily realized that my feet were being tossed about by the annoying indoor wind outside the blanket. I kicked my left leg against the end of the blanket and pulled it down with all my might, pulling too hard and ending up with my head exposed.

The white light was blinding, and I instinctively ducked inward, closing my eyes. I quickly burrowed deeper under the covers. My legs were bent, and in this cramped space, I seemed to forget something. I stretched out my legs, and my left leg suddenly became unsupported. Unconsciously, I turned to the left. As expected, I landed on the carpet.

Luckily the couch wasn't too high, so I slept with my left half on the floor. The sudden sleepiness woke me up completely. My right wrist was resting on the couch, and in a panic, to avoid hurting my right foot, I awkwardly propped my right leg up onto the couch.

I desperately wanted to let out a howl of frustration, but that would be too undignified. Instead, I just stared wide-eyed, replaying the wonderful performance in my mind, and immediately felt dazed and drained. Looking at the empty couch, I whispered, "Going back so early?"

"Bang!" The door swung open, followed by the sound of rolling suitcases. Before I could react, Leng Yang strode in. Seeing me lying on the floor, he frantically tossed his backpack onto the sofa and rushed over to pull me up.

Just as I was about to say "I'm fine!" the person in front of me picked me up and gently placed me lying on the sofa. They lightly moved my feet and covered me with a blanket, then said, "It seems my decision was right! But I just left for a while, how did you end up lying on the floor?"

I immediately sat up, my legs dangling naturally as if nothing had happened. Leng Yang looked at me gently with a warm smile and then fetched a pillow for me to put on my back.

I obeyed and leaned against him, then straightened my waist and asked, "Where are you going? Why did you get up so early?"

Leng Yang smiled softly and didn't speak. He only seriously lifted the quilt aside and said, "The alarm clock hasn't rang yet, are you sure you don't want to sleep?"

I shook my head and pressed, "No, I'm asking you! And did you just come with a suitcase? Where are you going?"

Leng Yang still didn't answer. He knelt down on one knee in front of me, seriously lifting my pants leg to examine my ankle carefully.

I am completely smitten with the man in front of me once again. My cheeks are already flushed, and my body is starting to heat up as his fingers brush against my ankle. My ears are now so red they feel like they're going to bleed.

I fidgeted and acted aloof, stepping aside and placing my hands on his shoulders. He looked up, and there it was—that face. His eyes sparkled like two deep seas, more like the entire universe, staring right at me. Lost in their depths, I watched the brightest star twinkle, filled with stories and longing. Understanding its message, I sensed a hint of sadness in him.

Leng Yang blinked his eyes, and I suddenly dodged to conceal my inner turmoil. Then, holding his cheek, I said seriously: "I'm fine, I'm asking you something? Answer me!"

Leng Yang smiled, his eyes fixed on me without blinking, his gaze saying a thousand words: "You're so cute."

I couldn't take it anymore, so I immediately let go. Leng Yang stood up and sat next to me, saying, "I was wrong. You have so many questions, which one should I answer?"

I didn't dare look at him. He said, in all seriousness, "Just tell me what you were doing out so early."

I went home to pack my bags.

I was surprised, "Why are you cleaning up? Where are you going?"

"Didn't I say I was going to accompany you to your grandfather's house?"

"Huh?!" I stared at him, "When? I have no idea!"

Leng Yang pretended to be wronged and said, "Last night! You clearly agreed."

I was at a loss, recalling the scene from last night. I had climbed mountains for ages and was exhausted. Lying on the sofa, drowsiness immediately overwhelmed me, and I soon drifted off to sleep. I couldn't remember anything that happened. Suddenly, Leng Yang excitedly exclaimed, "I've decided, I'm going back with you."

I am no longer conscious, a faint voice, "Do as you please!"

Leng Yang excitedly sat up, "Really? To your grandpa's house!"

"Well, it's your grandfather. I'm looking forward to you going! Yes...looking forward to it..."

Cold Yang warmed up, walked over and came closer to me, watching me asleep still mumbling to myself, smiling, "Really? I want to be with you and Grandpa Qin too."

Liang Yang worried that I wasn't stretching well enough, so he prepared to lift me up with the blanket. When his hands reached under my back and legs, I turned over, causing him to stop abruptly.

Look, I slept soundly. He gently lifted me a few centimeters. I seemed to be aware and struggled for a moment, almost slipping from his hands. Leng Yang immediately put me down and calmed himself like a thief. I mumbled, "You're a guest, you must sleep on the bed."

On and off, he said, "I won't sleep in bed. I absolutely refuse to."

Leng Yang was worried about waking me up, so he gave up the idea. In the middle of the night, Leng Yang couldn't sleep at all. He lay there with his eyes open, thinking about his decision just now, and from time to time he would tuck the blanket over me.

By five in the morning, Leng Yang finally stopped agonizing over it and got up immediately to go home and pack his things. Before leaving, he took one last look at me sleeping soundly.

...and I was completely oblivious to all of it, simply because I slept like a log...

……

I doubt myself, "Did I agree?"

Leng Yang nodded, then asked me seriously, “Don't tell me you don't count?”

"No, no, I don't have the right! The key is..."

"Wow, there's none?"

I seriously analyzed: "You're not going home for the New Year? Your parents agreed? You really want to come with me."

My parents agreed, and they also said that I haven't seen my grandfather in a long time!

I nodded helplessly, but inside I was beyond excited. "Okay, my grandfather misses you too. We'll go pay our respects to your grandfather together then! It hasn't been lively there in years."

Then I looked at him seriously and said, "Have you bought your ticket?"

"Oh! I got it." Leng Yang suddenly took out his phone and said, "You withdraw yours, and I'll buy us both a new one."

"Forget it, I'll take it!"

Leng Yang said in a cold and serious tone, "What if we aren't even sitting together, maybe not even in the same carriage?"

I nonchalantly said, "It's fine, as long as we reach the destination. What? Are you afraid of getting lost? I'll wait for you at the station and be your tour guide."

Turning my head, I saw Leng Yang looking at me seriously and sternly. I softened instantly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Leng Yang still spoke solemnly: "Quickly, listen to me and retreat."

"Oh!" He reluctantly clicked the button on the interface to cancel his ticket. Then he deliberately put the ticket cancellation result page in front of him, "Here you go, it's cancelled, look clearly."

Leng Yang immediately smiled and said carefully, "Look! Your leg is injured, and you have luggage. If I don't help you, how difficult it would be for you! It would be inconvenient in the car too."

I instantly understood him, and then obediently said, "Got it." Then I muttered mischievously in a low voice, "I'm not a little crybaby."

Leng Yang suddenly rushed over, "What did you say?"

I immediately turned obedient, "It's nothing, brother!" As soon as I finished speaking, I regretted it. The two words "brother" suddenly made the atmosphere awkward. I immediately changed the subject, saying something insensitive, "Do you still remember the address to my grandfather's place?"

Leng Yang looked at me with a serious expression, his nose deliberately lifted, as if to say: "Old friend, that's my hometown, you know!"

"Alright, I bought it. It's getting late, we have a 12:30 meeting, let's sit together."

"How did you buy it!"

"How do I say that?"

"How do you know my information?!"

Leng Yang said proudly: "What don't I know!"
