Psst! We're moving!
Sigh, it’s my fault.
It’s my fault for not being pretty enough, for not having the ability to make him fall in love at first sight.
But success, of course, depends on effort after birth.
I am an example.
— From the Diary of Fairy Su Zaizai
Noticing Su Zaizai’s gaze cast towards him,
Zhang Lurang licked his lips, unprecedentedly wanting to retract his words.
But he really didn’t know what to say to make her feel that he wasn’t being deliberate.
Before he could speak,
Su Zaizai slowly opened her mouth with a heavy tone.
“Rang Rang, let me tell you. Normally, in this situation, I should be angry with you.”
“...”
“But it’s only seven days, so I won’t waste time on this.”
Her voice suddenly dropped a few degrees, as if she were muttering to herself.
Her head was lowered, seemingly inviting someone to stroke it.
Zhang Lurang’s heart instantly melted completely.
He opened his mouth and softly said: “I...”
Before he finished,
Su Zaizai immediately lifted her head and hummed: “Then let’s leave it for now.”
“...”
“When we have time in the future, I’ll scold you then.”
“...”
She earnestly advised: “Rang Rang, one shouldn’t become arrogant just because they are favored.”
“...”
“Sigh, you are really spoiled by me.” Mentioning this, Su Zaizai felt somewhat proud.
Zhang Lurang averted his eyes, not wanting to deal with her.

In the height of summer, it was muggy and windless.
The asphalt road was scorched by the sunlight, shimmering with silvery light.
Pedestrians on the road held sun umbrellas, rushing back and forth.
Su Zaizai was in a hurry to go out and didn’t bring an umbrella.
She touched her forehead and suggested: “Rang Rang, let’s go eat at that café near where we went last time.”
Zhang Lurang nodded: “Okay.”
Then, he took out a pure black sun umbrella from his backpack and handed it to Su Zaizai.
Su Zaizai instinctively took it.
She held the umbrella but didn’t make any move.
Zhang Lurang waited for half a minute and couldn’t help but ask: “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Su Zaizai sighed. “I just suddenly feel that if we get married in the future, changing light bulbs and fixing water pipes will probably all be my job.”
Zhang Lurang: “...”
As Su Zaizai spoke, she opened the umbrella and raised it high.
“Come over, delicate skin can’t be exposed to the sun.”
“... You hold it yourself.”
“I just mentioned riding a bike to pick you up, and you refused me.”
“...”
“Now I want to hold the umbrella for you, and you’re refusing me too.”
“...”
Su Zaizai glanced at him and seized the opportunity to touch his hand.
Then she casually said: “You’re really like a little princess.”
Zhang Lurang’s temple twitched, and he took the umbrella from her hands.
The umbrella tilted, covering more than half of her body.
Su Zaizai turned her head and stared at his hand holding the umbrella handle.
Fair-skinned, long, and smooth like jade.
She lowered her head to look at her own and asked seriously: “Rang Rang, do you think our first hand-holding was initiated by me or by you?”
Is this the kind of question that is directly asked...
Zhang Lurang felt somewhat at a loss.
He hadn’t thought of how to answer yet.
Then he heard Su Zaizai open her mouth in frustration.
“Sigh, you can’t rely on you.”
Zhang Lurang inexplicably felt a bit displeased and lowered his voice: “Su Zaizai.”
Upon hearing this, Su Zaizai pressed on relentlessly.
“When will my status change from Su Zaizai to Zaizai?”
“...”
“Look, you’re not talking again.” Su Zaizai started lecturing him. “Except for the first kiss and hug which I forced myself to initiate, I guess I’ll have to take the initiative for everything else in the future.”
He turned his face away without speaking.
Su Zaizai counted on her fingers, listing things one by one.
“We haven’t tried holding hands yet, and what else... oh, taking off clothes... on the bed...” At this point, she paused and muttered, “Thinking about it like this doesn’t seem bad either.”
Zhang Lurang couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Alright, I’ll take the initiative.” Su Zaizai was in a good mood and stopped nitpicking with him. “It’s enough that you’re handsome.”
“...” Fine, he wouldn’t talk anymore.
A few minutes later, Su Zaizai said again: “But I still really want to see your wild and unrestrained side.”
There was a moment of silence.
“Su Zaizai.” He said indifferently.
“Huh?”
Zhang Lurang issued his first threat.
“If you don’t behave normally, I’m going home.”
“...”

The two walked into a café.
A few people were scattered around inside; it was very quiet.
The lighting was dim, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.
They found a seat and sat down.
Zhang Lurang ordered a cup of coffee.
After thinking for a moment, he ordered a yin-yang milk tea and a molten chocolate cake for Su Zaizai.
Su Zaizai rested her cheek on her hand, still thinking about what had happened earlier.
“Rang Rang, the way you threaten people, I used it back in elementary school.”
“...”
She grinned and mimicked: “Hmph! If you keep acting like this, I’m going home!”
Zhang Lurang looked at her expressionlessly.
After a while, he softly said: “Then go home.”
“...”
Su Zaizai immediately changed the topic.
“Let me tell you, Jiang Jia and Guan Han are together.”
“Mm.”
“They both happen to be in Science Class Twelve.”
“...”
“I haven’t experienced being in the same class as you.” Su Zaizai said gloomily.
He looked over.
Su Zaizai lifted her lips and began to tell him about the fantasies she had imagined in her mind.
“I want to sit next to you, then pretend to borrow a pen from you and take the opportunity to touch your hand.”
“...”
“Or, pretend my pen fell, bend down to pick it up, and accidentally touch your leg.”
The more Su Zaizai thought about these flirtatious methods, the better they seemed.
Delighted, she asked: “Wouldn’t this method make it easier for me to pursue you?”
Zhang Lurang was silent for a moment, serious. “I might call the police.”
Su Zaizai suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Looking at his serious expression, she almost burst out laughing.
But thinking about the future,
The same university, the same direction forward.
Su Zaizai lost herself in thought and softly asked: “Rang Rang, will we always be together?”
She felt her affection was too intense.
It seemed like it would never burn out in her entire life.
Hearing this, Zhang Lurang was momentarily stunned.
Their eyes met.
Su Zaizai saw him curve his lips slightly and softly say: “Yes.”
Do you know?
It’s not just you who can’t leave him.
He can’t leave you either.

After finishing the cake, Su Zaizai still didn’t want to go home.
Resting her cheek on her hand, she asked: “So, will you come back next time during winter vacation?”
“Mm,” he softly replied.
“But winter vacation includes New Year’s. That means less than half a month.”
Thinking about this, her mood instantly dropped significantly.
Zhang Lurang also didn’t know what to say.
After a while.
Su Zaizai grumbled discontentedly: “We just got together and are already in a long-distance relationship; my luck is really...”
“...”
“Are there any pretty girls in your school?” she asked.
Zhang Lurang thought seriously: “I don’t know.”
Su Zaizai widened her eyes, accusing him: “How can you say you don’t know? Shouldn’t you immediately say no? No matter how beautiful someone stands in front of you, you should think I am the prettiest.”
Zhang Lurang looked at her with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
It was as if he were struggling with how to respond.
After a while, he lowered his head.
Not daring to look at her.
“I like you.”
Su Zaizai’s heart skipped half a beat.
Before she could get excited, she heard Zhang Lurang continue:
“It’s not because of your face.”
“...”
Why did she feel that the handsome man returned to City B
and seemed not as pure and cute as before?
Su Zaizai didn’t want to talk anymore.
Zhang Lurang sighed and took the initiative to speak: “You need to study hard.”
“...Oh.” Here comes the principal again.
“The academic proficiency test is coming next semester; don’t ignore science subjects anymore.”
“Mm.” Su Zaizai began to act evasive.
He quieted down.
Perhaps a few minutes passed.
“I can’t put my mind at ease.” He murmured.

After drinking the last sip of milk tea, the two stood up and headed home.
The weather outside suddenly turned gloomy.
Large clouds gathered densely, looking like an impending storm.
Seeing this, Su Zaizai couldn’t be bothered to hold the umbrella anymore.
Walking beside Zhang Lurang, she grinned and said: “Rang Rang, do you remember the first time we met?”
“...Mm.”
“What did you think?”
...Being scolded by her the first time we met, what was that feeling?
He didn’t seem to treat her poorly because of it.
Zhang Lurang didn’t answer.
Suddenly, Su Zaizai chuckled and said: “I think you were probably thinking...”
He turned his head, patiently waiting for her next words.
“How to seduce me.”
Zhang Lurang seemed completely unable to understand why she came to such a conclusion.
He immediately furrowed his brows, enunciating each word: “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Su Zaizai shamelessly said: “How is that nonsense.”
“...”
“You only needed to hold up a sign telling me to quickly fall in love with you and chase after you.” Su Zaizai, the more she thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. “You’re so lucky, doing nothing and getting a beautiful wife.”
Zhang Lurang didn’t say anything, letting her indulge in her thoughts.
“Why can’t I look like someone who would make you fall in love at first sight?” She suddenly felt a bit regretful.
He suddenly smiled.
Reaching out to ruffle her hair, he said:
“This is perfect.”

The two walked into the residential area.
Seeing a pair of twins passing by, Su Zaizai suddenly remembered a photo she had seen on Weibo earlier.
While opening her phone, she asked: “Rang Rang, do you have an older brother?”
Zhang Lurang shook his head: “No.”
Su Zaizai instantly lost the desire to show him that photo.
After a while.
Zhang Lurang continued: “I only have a younger brother, one year younger than me.”
Hearing this, Su Zaizai became interested.
“You have a younger brother?”
“Mm.”
“Do you two look alike?”
Zhang Lurang thought for a moment, not entirely sure.
“We probably look quite similar.”
“Are your personalities similar too?” Su Zaizai continued to ask, loving both the person and their associations.
This time he answered quickly: “No.”
Su Zaizai wanted to continue asking.
Zhang Lurang took the initiative to speak: “His personality is very good.”
Bright and upward, like sunshine.
Unlike him, introverted and taciturn.
Su Zaizai blinked, earnestly saying: “You are also very good.”
Zhang Lurang didn’t say anything.
It was as if the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
Su Zaizai half-jokingly asked: “Who is better looking between the two of you?”
He still answered quickly.
“My younger brother.”
Su Zaizai humphed, correcting him.
“My Rang Rang is the best-looking.”
He suddenly lowered his head, curving his lips slightly.
Seeing this, Su Zaizai continued to praise him.
“Beautiful enough to make people lose their minds.”
Zhang Lurang laughed out loud.
Then, he seriously admitted.
“Mm.”
