You Have to Think of Me Once Every Day

After finishing the bowl of chicken soup noodles, Wang Siyi no longer felt as down as she had when she woke up that morning.

Even with dark circles under her eyes, she was still a pretty little panda.

Wang Siyi packed her things in her room. She didn't plan to bring much, just a few simple outfits and a bag.

The bag held a few cosmetics she used regularly. It looked less like she was going to Shanghai for work and more like she was going on vacation.

When she finished packing, she took one last, lingering look at the master bedroom and murmured:

"I'll be back again!"

Then she closed the door to the room she'd lived in for over a month and softly said to Li Changle, who was waiting in the living room:

"Let's go."

Li Changle reached out toward her. Wang Siyi felt a little confused. Was he trying to hold her hand?

Should she let him?

He'd never held her hand before. Wang Siyi's cheeks flushed.

She tentatively held out her hand, meeting Li Changle's halfway.

Li Changle looked at Wang Siyi in confusion. Her cheeks were pink, her head bowed, and her hand was suspended in the air at a strange angle.

What was this woman doing now?

Li Changle was baffled and speechless. He hurriedly said:

"Why are you holding your hand up so high? Give me your suitcase..."

Wang Siyi's face stiffened at his words. She was mortified. How had she managed to embarrass herself again?

So he'd only reached out to take her suitcase...

This was so awkward. She'd lost count of how many times she'd embarrassed herself in front of him.

Her face grew even redder, the color spreading from her ears down to her neck.

"Why are you blushing? I'm just carrying your suitcase. Come on, or you'll miss your flight..."

Wang Siyi was annoyed at herself for reading too much into it. Wang Siyi, oh, Wang Siyi, he was a blockhead. Why would you think he'd dare to hold your hand first?

In a huff, Wang Siyi patted her forehead, handed Li Changle her suitcase, and hurried off.

She deliberately put some distance between herself and Li Changle. Otherwise, if he asked why she was blushing, how could she answer?

Li Changle didn't mind that she hadn't replied. He was used to Wang Siyi acting like this. He could handle this side of her.

It was still much better than dealing with the other versions of her: the clingy Wang Siyi, the crybaby Wang Siyi, or the drunk Wang Siyi.

He really couldn't handle those other bizarre personalities of Wang Siyi's.

In the car, Li Changle and Wang Siyi sat in silence. Wang Siyi still didn't know how to get past the awkwardness from earlier, so she simply said nothing.

Her phone rang. It was another message from Chen Baozhu.

"My goodness, when are you coming back? Tomorrow becomes the day after, then three days turn into another three. You need to finish recording your new album before the end of the month..."

"If you really can't make it, Xiuxiu and I will come get you..."

"Please don't! Sister Baozhu, I'm already on my way to the airport. Just wait for me at the airport in Shanghai!"

Seeing that Chen Baozhu was thinking of coming over again, Wang Siyi hurriedly replied.

She knew Chen Baozhu's personality. Before she became a diva, Chen Baozhu didn't want her dating.

Wang Siyi had also solemnly promised that she wouldn't date until she became a diva...

But fate came when it wanted to. There was no stopping it, and Wang Siyi had no idea what the old matchmaker was thinking.

If the matchmaker didn't help, Wang Siyi would tie herself to Li Changle with a chain and make sure he couldn't get away from her for the rest of his life.

If Chen Baozhu found out Wang Siyi had fallen for someone, she would definitely try every way she could to make Wang Siyi give him up, or go talk to Li Changle herself.

Wang Siyi didn't want to lose touch with Li Changle, and she didn't want to fall out with Chen Baozhu either. For now, all she could do was take things as they came.

When Chen Baozhu heard that Wang Siyi was finally coming back, she felt relieved.

She was also puzzled.

What was the matter with this girl? Usually, when Chen Baozhu asked about something that had happened that day, if Wang Siyi needed to return to Shanghai, she would either come back that very day or first thing the next morning.

This time, though, she'd dragged it out for a whole week. Chen Baozhu was sure that if she hadn't kept urging her, Wang Siyi would've put it off for another ten days or half a month...

Chen Baozhu shook her head, still confused. Fortunately, though, everything was going smoothly, and all the preparations were in place.

Now all they needed was for Wang Siyi to come back and record the song. Then everything would be settled, even if the company didn't promote it.

She knew a director whose upcoming film needed a theme song. This was exactly the kind of song he wanted.

She'd only approached him to test the waters. To her surprise, he'd looked at the lyrics and immediately made up his mind without even listening to the song: this was the one!

He was so decisive! He was a popular director, after all, and he spoke with confidence. He was cultured, too, and kept saying the lyrics were impressive and had a special flavor.

After listening to the demo, he was even more delighted. He told Chen Baozhu outright:

"I'd like this lyricist and composer to write the theme song for my next film, too. If possible, please introduce us when the time comes."

Chen Baozhu had been overjoyed. This was a famous, popular director! If she could get in his good graces, who would ever have to worry about opportunities again? She'd immediately agreed, planning to have Wang Siyi introduce them when the time came.

She had no idea where Wan Jun had met this person called Li Xiaoyao.

There weren't many musicians with this kind of talent these days. It was strange that Chen Baozhu had never heard of him.

"Why is your manager always hurrying you to Shanghai? Didn't you only decide to go a couple of days ago?"

Li Changle looked at Wang Siyi in confusion. The car was small, so he'd clearly heard what Chen Baozhu had said.

Wang Siyi glared at him, thinking, It's all because of you.

But she couldn't exactly say that. She just looked coolly out the window. She didn't know how to explain, so she decided not to speak...

Li Changle had tried to make conversation and gotten nowhere. Feeling awkward, he rubbed his nose.

He regretted not buying a car. They'd had to take a taxi to the airport, and having a driver in the car made things a little awkward.

He made a mental note to buy a car when he got back. That way, it would be easier to drive Wang Siyi to and from the airport, and to visit his parents, too.

Li Changle yawned, feeling sleepy. He'd gone to bed too late the night before and gotten up early, so he decided to lean back and close his eyes for a quick nap.

Wang Siyi saw Li Changle with his eyes closed and his brow furrowed, as if he were thinking about something. She gave up on the idea of starting a conversation with him.

She leaned back against the seat and closed her eyes, too.

The drive from Xingfuli to the airport took about an hour. Neither of them had slept well the night before, so they both fell asleep in the car.

At some point, Wang Siyi's head had come to rest on Li Changle's shoulder, a faint smile on her lips.

Wang Siyi stirred awake and realized she was leaning on Li Changle's shoulder. Her cheeks flushed a little.

But Li Changle was still asleep. She checked the time; they wouldn't reach the airport for another ten minutes.

She glanced at Li Changle again, feeling secretly pleased that he hadn't woken up.

Then, satisfied, she leaned back against his shoulder and closed her eyes, enjoying this moment of peace.

Leaning on his shoulder made her feel so safe.

At that moment, Wang Siyi felt that as long as Li Changle was by her side, she could face the whole world. He was all she needed.

The driver glanced at the sweet young couple in the rearview mirror. They were a handsome pair, and the girl looked so happy that he couldn't help sighing to himself.

"Young people have it good. I was just as handsome when I still had my hair... That girl used to lean on my shoulder like that, too..."

He didn't interrupt them. He just quietly turned up the air conditioning so they'd sleep more comfortably.

When they arrived, the driver hit the brakes, and Li Changle woke from his nap. They were at the airport.

Wang Siyi's eyes were shut tight as she leaned on his shoulder, smiling sweetly. She looked as if she were having a lovely dream.

In the end, Li Changle woke Wang Siyi up, worried she might miss her flight.

"Thanks, sir..."

They took the suitcase out of the car and walked into the departure hall. Wang Siyi followed behind, feeling glum.

Not only had her lovely dream been interrupted, but the ticket in her hand reminded her that she wasn't dreaming about dating Li Changle. She was saying goodbye to him.

Back at home, Wang Siyi hadn't felt that bad. But now that she was about to board the plane, her reluctance surged through her like a tide.

It threatened to drown her completely. She thought of the chicken soup noodles she'd had that morning.

She probably wouldn't get to have them again for a whole month. And she wouldn't get to see Li Changle every day, either.

Wang Siyi felt miserable. She didn't know how to describe it. Deep inside, a voice kept calling out:

"Stay. Please stay..."

At that moment, she really wanted to tear her ticket to shreds and throw the pieces into the air, then shout to Li Changle:

"Li Changle, I like you!"

But she couldn't do that. Not yet. Until she understood how Li Changle felt, she couldn't force him to make a choice.

She wanted them to fall for each other mutually. But Li Changle was such a blockhead. Even someone like her, who'd never dated before, knew what it felt like to like someone. How could he not know?

She wondered if he'd been single his whole life in his previous life, too, and silently grumbled about Li Changle.

In fact, Li Changle really had been single in his previous life. His life had been miserable, all work and nothing else.

Dating? What was dating? Don't bother me!

Women would only slow him down when he was writing proposals and waste his overtime hours.

So Li Changle, who couldn't have been more straight-laced, really was even worse at romance than Wang Siyi.

Li Changle saw Wang Siyi's eyes growing red again, and his heart tightened.

He was most afraid of women crying, especially Wang Siyi. Each time she cried harder than before, and there was no stopping her.

"What's wrong, crybaby?"

Li Changle decided to joke around with Wang Siyi and lighten the mood, although he didn't know why she seemed so down...

"You're the crybaby!"

Wang Siyi was fed up with Li Changle always patting her, and even more fed up with the nickname he'd given her. It was awful.

"Your tears fall like they're free every time. If you're not a crybaby, who is?"

Li Changle rolled his eyes and teased her.

"They're starting to board."

Wang Siyi's expression fell again.

"Come on, let's go. What are you standing there for?"

Li Changle hurriedly urged Wang Siyi to board.

"Are you really that eager for me to leave?"

Wang Siyi turned to look at Li Changle. She felt a little hurt. Did he not feel the slightest bit reluctant to see her go?

"Huh? No, it's just that you're in a hurry, right? Your manager keeps urging you. What if you miss your flight...?"

Li Changle looked at Wang Siyi in confusion. What was with her today? She'd been so sentimental all day.

He was getting a headache. She was the one who had to leave, but she was also the one dawdling.

Wang Siyi said nothing. She nodded, took the suitcase from Li Changle, and turned to enter the departure hall.

Suddenly, she set down her suitcase, turned back, and said to Li Changle:

"I might be in Shanghai for quite a while."

"I know. You have a new album coming out. I'll take good care of your place."

"You're not allowed to move out without my permission!"

Wang Siyi emphasized the point again.

"Okay, okay. I won't move. I'm comfortable here. Where else would I go...?"

Li Changle was exasperated. Why did she keep acting like she was afraid he'd run off?

"Then... I..."

"I'll be gone for a long time. Will... will you miss me...?"

Wang Siyi lowered her head, her cheeks pink, and asked softly.

"What?"

Wang Siyi had spoken too quietly, and Li Changle couldn't make out what she'd said.

"N-nothing..."

"Stop stammering. If you have something to say, just say it..."

"It's nothing."

Wang Siyi picked up her suitcase again and walked to the entrance of the departure hall. She paused, set it down, and ran back.

She gave Li Changle a gentle hug, then whispered in his ear:

"Remember to think of me once every day..."

Then she let go at once and ran off without looking back, quickly grabbing her suitcase and heading through security.

The moment Wang Siyi hugged him, Li Changle's mind went completely blank. He couldn't think at all.

Then he heard Wang Siyi's words in his ear again.

"Remember to think of me once every day."

The words kept replaying in his mind. Before he could come back to his senses, Wang Siyi was already gone.

And just like that, she left, without waving goodbye or taking even a cloud with her.

Watching Wang Siyi disappear into the distance, he felt strangely empty.

Wang Siyi sat in first class, her cheeks still flushed. Her heart was still pounding, as if a little deer were running wild inside her.

She'd been a little rash, but she didn't regret it!

If she hadn't hugged him and said those words, she would've regretted it.

The plane took off and climbed into the sky. As she watched the scenery grow smaller and smaller, Wang Siyi sighed. She was already starting to miss Li Changle...

Only after watching the plane disappear into the sky did Li Changle leave the airport. He couldn't settle down.

She'd just hugged him and told him to think of her. What did that woman mean?

He shook his head, feeling a knot in his chest that he couldn't release.

Then, as if remembering something, he took out his phone and sent Wang Siyi a message on WeChat.

"Let me know when you arrive safely."

They were friends, after all. A little show of concern was only natural, wasn't it?
