The Sunset Will Always Fall Upon You

And so, the National Day holiday began.

Did Ding Yebai, as a third-year high school student, have time to relax???

The answer was no!

He was currently drowning in practice tests, practice tests, practice tests. His teachers always said holidays were a great opportunity to overtake others on the final stretch, and he was using this time to study like crazy.

Actually, for him, the only subjects he was studying were English and Chinese.

He had been eagerly anticipating the next monthly exam, wondering what kind of excellent score he would achieve.

Meanwhile, Yang Zhi was completely immersed in her dormitory at Jinghuai University, studying!!!

Their graduate student dorms were for two people. Her roommate was a plump girl who wore glasses and was named Luo Luo. Her family was quite poor, but she was very motivated and driven.

She got along well with Yang Zhi. When Yang Zhi wasn't in the dorms recently, Luo Luo would send messages like, "[Yang Zhi, when are you coming back? I miss you so much. It's so boring being alone in the dorm.]"

Well... in a way, Yang Zhi had really good people skills; she could get along with anyone, regardless of gender.

After not seeing each other for a while, Yang Zhi noticed upon her return that her cute little roommate seemed off. Luo Luo was listless, as if she couldn't muster any interest in anything. She kept going to dangerous places like the lake, the balcony, or the rooftop.

She did engage in normal conversation with Yang Zhi, but something still felt strange.

Yang Zhi understood deeply that this wasn't her fault; she hadn't done anything to make Luo Luo upset.

If it was something else, and Luo Luo didn't want to talk about it, Yang Zhi couldn't do anything.

A few more days passed like that.

The National Day holiday was already halfway through. Luo Luo and Yang Zhi were still the same, interacting normally, with no apparent abnormalities.

During this time, Yang Zhi had tried asking things like, "What's wrong?" but all she got were responses like "Nothing," which were obvious lies.

Yang Zhi acted indifferent on the surface, but she was still worried deep down. She had considered many possibilities but didn't dare to ask rashly.

After all, Luo Luo was very sensitive and fragile internally, perhaps even more so than Yang Zhi herself had been back then.

Finally.

On the morning of the 6th, Yang Zhi uncharacteristically took Luo Luo to a park to see the blooming flowers.

They sat in silence for a long time, then returned to the dorms together.

That night, after the lights were turned off, Luo Luo got into bed as usual.

Yang Zhi turned on a small lamp and wrote a line on a piece of white paper, then tiptoed to Luo Luo's bed.

Sensing the movement, Luo Luo put on her glasses and looked at Yang Zhi, softly asking, "What's up, Xiao Zhi?"

Yang Zhi chuckled, crouched down to meet her eyes, and handed her the white paper.

Luo Luo carefully took the paper, her pupils instantly widening.

[The sunset will always fall upon you, and you will have your own astronaut and moon.]

"Xiao Zhi, what is this?"

"I saw you haven't been yourself lately, so I thought I'd give you a hand."

This single sentence caused Luo Luo's defenses to crumble instantly.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Hmm... this must be what they call the fragility of adults, which can shatter in an instant.

Yang Zhi: "I've seen you looking so sad lately, but you're unwilling to tell me anything. I was thinking I could help share some of your burden. Sigh, but I never had the chance."

Luo Luo wiped away her tears, placed the paper on the bed, and said in a low voice, "I broke up with him. We were together for seven years. He doesn't want me anymore."

Yang Zhi nodded. "I actually suspected you might have broken up. That's why I wrote that for you."

Luo Luo: "Wuwuwuwuwu..."

Yang Zhi poked her forehead with her index finger, her tone carrying a hint of reproach. "Honestly, were you thinking about suicide recently?"

Stared at by such beautiful eyes, Luo Luo couldn't bring herself to lie and could only nod.

"Ah... I knew it."

With that, Yang Zhi opened her arms and hugged her.

"That's why I took you to see the flower exhibition."

"Mmm..."

"Did you feel a little better after seeing the flowers?"

"Mmm."

Too many people want to die, but sometimes they encounter a cliff or a lake and they die, while other times they encounter flowers or snow and they let it go.

"I used to have times when I felt down, too. When that happened, I would go out and see the scenery. I always felt happier than just lying in bed sulking."

"Xiao Zhi, you get in a bad mood too?"

Yang Zhi paused for a moment, then smiled, her eyes curving as she gently patted Luo Luo's head. Her voice was incredibly soft. "Yes~ Luo Luo, just like you, I'm delicate and sensitive too. I have sad moments as well."

"Wuwuwu..." Seeing Yang Zhi's gentle smile, Luo Luo's little dark cloud of sadness vanished. She immediately threw herself into Yang Zhi's arms.

"But Luo Luo, you're cuter and stronger than me. Back then, I was so miserable I couldn't even eat."

"Wuwuwuwu..."

Yang Zhi patted her back comfortingly. "You're still so young! You have so much time to travel, to study, to see mountains and rivers and the sea. Anything is possible, instead of being confined to this little bit of romantic love right now."

Luo Luo was sobbing so hard she was hiccuping, but she felt incredibly safe in Yang Zhi's embrace.

She's so kind! Even though I'm a mess with snot and tears, she doesn't mind me at all!!!

"Yang Zhi, you're so good."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"I got snot on your clothes and you didn't even mind."

"Ahaha..." Yang Zhi's smile froze for a second, but after a few moments, her voice softened again. "As long as you can pull yourself together, nothing else matters. Because Luo Luo, you're very important to me, and I don't want to see you fall into despair."

"Wuwuwuwu, Yang Zhi, why are you so good!" Luo Luo almost shouted. "I really hope someone like you appears to comfort and care for you!"

"Ahaha... I'm sure they will."

Yang Zhi wasn't sure herself, so her voice trembled.

"Wua wua wua!"

"There, there~ It's okay~"

Although Luo Luo's mood improved after that, she cried for the entire night. Yang Zhi, naturally, comforted her all night long.

The next morning, she woke up with serious dark circles under her eyes. Sitting on the bed, she suddenly remembered what Ding Yuerong had said.

"You're very good at taking care of people."

Ah, honestly.

Yang Zhi rubbed her throbbing temples, really not wanting to get out of bed.

Don't let her appearance fool you; she actually has a few bad habits. For example, she's a [notoriously difficult person to wake up].

She slowly opened her eyes and saw the breakfast Luo Luo had bought her on the table.

There was also a note.

[I went to the library.

Yang Zhi, thank you!!! I'll definitely cheer up quickly and won't worry you!!! I bought your favorite soy milk and fried dough sticks for breakfast. Oh, and a pack of White Rabbit milk candy. Don't worry about me! You can go find your 18-year-old brother with peace of mind!]

She was reading along fine until the mention of her [18-year-old brother], which instantly made Yang Zhi wide awake.

She scratched her cheek with her finger, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's been a while since I last saw him. How long has it been? At least half a month."

"Speaking of which, he should be having his next monthly exam soon."

"I wonder how he'll do?"

"I hope he gets good results."

After all, working hard with no results is truly, incredibly painful.

Hmm...

"Huh?" Yang Zhi's eyes shot up abruptly. She stared blankly ahead, slowly uttering a sentence.

"Am I... worried about him?"

No, it should be, "Why have I been worrying about him so much lately?"
