Peninsula: I'm being supported by a top idol.

Lying on his bed in the dormitory, Liu Zhimin was still reminiscing about the sauna incident.

She had been observing the two of them the whole time. Cui Shi'an's overreaction came so suddenly that not only was the girl startled, but she, as an observer, also found it very inexplicable.

Is there anyone in this world who hates eggs to that extent?

And it's obvious that you bought it yourself.

He really is a strange person.

But what exactly is he afraid of?

Liu Zhimin became more and more curious, as if a kitten had crawled into his heart and was scratching at him.

She sat up, opened the bedside drawer, and took out a triangular piece of iron.

It was the arrowhead she had casually tossed into the drawer that day.

By the light of the lamp, she lay on the bed and examined the arrowheads closely.

"What exactly is this? It looks strange."

Liu Zhimin muttered to himself, and the scene from that day naturally came back to mind.

Even in that situation, it was still tightly held in its hand...

"Could it be a talisman?"

The more she looked at it, the more she felt it resembled a talisman, and given its old appearance, it might even be an antique.

"It seems I should find an opportunity to return it to him as soon as possible."

With this thought in mind, she casually placed the arrowhead on the bedside table and fell into a deep sleep.

This time, the dream took her to a completely different place.

There were no somber palaces, no cold weapons.

Before me stretched the boundless blue sea, and in my ears came the rushing sound of the tides lapping against the shore, and the exhilarating clatter of horses' hooves.

She rode a chestnut horse, galloping along the beach against the sea breeze, no longer wearing courtly robes, but rather a smart riding outfit.

Her long hair was tied back and fluttered in the wind.

A feeling of unbridled joy and exhilaration filled her heart.

"Faster!" she heard her own silvery laughter.

Looking back, a tall figure riding a black horse was following closely behind; it was Cui Shi'an.

He was wearing the same style of athletic clothing as her, his brows furrowed with youthful vigor, and a smile that was both indulgent and competitive.

"Princess, be careful not to fall!" he called out loudly, his voice particularly clear in the sea breeze.

"No way! Try and catch up with me if you dare!" she said coquettishly in her dream. In order not to be caught up, she subconsciously spurred the horse's belly, trying to speed up again.

However, the horse's front hooves seemed to have tripped over some rocks under the sand, and it suddenly stumbled!

"Ah!" she exclaimed, instantly losing her balance and being thrown off the horse by the inertia!

But the expected pain of falling onto the beach did not come.

In the blink of an eye, a dark figure had already leaped from the side!

At the critical moment, Cui Shi'an disregarded his own safety, leaped from the galloping horse, and caught her precisely in mid-air.

The two landed in a twirl. He stood steadily on the beach, while she was held firmly in his arms in a perfect princess carry.

The world seemed to stand still.

The sea breeze caressed her cheeks and ruffled the stray hairs on Cui Shi'an's forehead.

She could clearly feel the rapid, nervous pounding of his heart, which mingled with the pounding of her own heart.

Liu Zhimin looked up in shock, only to meet his downcast eyes.

Gone was the sorrow and despair of the square, and the alienation and indifference of reality; only deep worry and a sense of relief as if they had survived a catastrophe remained.

There was also a hint of... a barely concealed flutter of excitement that arose quietly from her gaze at him so closely.

Their eyes met, and an indescribable feeling, like a thin mist rising from the sea, quietly permeated between them…

Ring ring ring—

The urgent alarm clock interrupted Liu Zhimin's sweet dream.

She sat up in bed with her hair disheveled, her sleepy eyes filled with lingering memories of her dream, and a silly smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

After a while, she finally came to her senses and noticed the arrowhead she had left on her pillow the night before. She then chuckled to herself.

"Ugh... Am I... going crazy? Why am I dreaming about him again? It's so unsettling..."

……

On the other hand, Cui Shi'an has also been quite listless these past two days.

It all started because of the sauna incident; Song Zhiya hadn't spoken to him for several days.

Every time he tried to apologize after class, this senior would always find an excuse to brush past him, either by making a phone call or pretending not to see him.

Faced with this difficult situation, Cui Shi'an had no choice but to turn to his experienced roommate for help, hoping he could come up with a solution.

After hearing what had happened, Tian Ming rolled his eyes at him.

"Hey, why are you hiding? In that kind of situation, aren't you hurting the girl's self-esteem?"

Cui Shi'an smiled bitterly, speechless. He had his reasons for having to hide...

"I'm asking you, did she bite into the egg?"

"No? They just peeled it for me."

"That makes things even stranger..." Tian Ming scratched his head, looking completely confused. "I thought you were disgusted by her saliva~"

"How could I possibly dislike... uh..." Cui Shi'an quickly shut his mouth, but unfortunately, it was too late.

"Hehe, you admit it now? You're actually drooling over her~"

"Ugh." Cui Shi'an rolled her eyes at him, annoyed and embarrassed. "Is this the time for you to ask about these things? I'm asking you what I should do now? What should I do to make my senior calm down?"

"Why don't you go kneel down and apologize to her? Girls from the Peninsula really fall for that."

"Can't you think of something useful?"

Tian Ming curled his lip in disdain: "You brat, you've got pretty tough knees..."

Just then, Cui Shi'an's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at it; it was the school's security office number. A sudden tightness gripped his heart.

"Feed?"

"Is this Cui Shi'an? This is the security department. Two police officers are here to see you and need to ask you about the situation."

"Police?" Cui Shi'an was startled, his voice rising eight octaves. His first thought was that his identity as one of the "other overlooked individuals" had been exposed.

Did they say what it was about?

"It seems to be about a traffic accident last week. I need to confirm the extent of your injuries with you so that we can take appropriate action against the party at fault."

"Okay, I understand. I'll be right there."

Cui Shi'an felt a sense of unease. Why had the police come to the school?

"You were in a car accident last week??" Tian Ming rushed over in surprise, patting him all over:

"Where are you hurt? How serious is it? Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's nothing, just a little accident. Look, I'm perfectly fine." Cui Shi'an pushed him away, but felt a little warm inside because of her roommate's concern.

Tian Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Aha! I've got an idea!"

Cui Shi'an didn't react for a moment: "What method?"

"Of course, it's the way to appease Zhiya-senpai!" Tian Ming's face instantly broke into a sly smile.

Before Cui Shi'an could stop him, he immediately took out his phone and called Song Zhiya, even putting it on speakerphone.

The phone rang quickly, and Song Zhiya's familiar voice came through: "Is this Tian Ming? What's wrong?"

Tian Ming immediately adopted an extremely anxious, even tearful tone, and shouted into the microphone:

"Senior, something terrible has happened! Shi An seems to be in trouble! The police have even come to the school!"

Choi Si-an listened in stunned silence, and before he could say a word, he heard Song Zhi-ya's anxious voice coming from the other end of the phone:

"I'm coming right away!"
