1422 I Have a Great Dream
Nalan Chunbo groaned and ma.s.saged his temples. He had never said he was a girl, how had that girl reached that conclusion?
[Shanshan: Everything is fine now, our university implemented a new system and I am so happy with it!
Shanshan: I should thank If. He is so incredible to be reforming this place even before he officially starts!
If Only Time Froze When We First Met: Really? Do you really think that he is incredible?
Shanshan: Someone as prominent as you probably wouldn’t feel it, but he is definitely amazing to me. I’m so psyched to be seeing him next month!
If Only Time Froze When We First Met: Are you really looking forward to see him?
Shanshan: Of course! He is a legend after all.
If Only Time Froze When We First Met: What if he is ugly?]
She once said that she was determined to marry a head of department. He wondered if she still had the same ambition?
Nalan Chunbo smiled bitterly. He felt like he might be going crazy.
[Shanshan: He can’t be that ugly, I guess?]
Wen Shan asked carefully.
Nalan Chunbo got up from his desk to pull the curtain open slightly and looked at the woman in the opposite building who was scratching her face. Did she regret what she once said so determinedly?
Nalan Chunbo returned to his desk and started typing again.
[If Only Time Froze When We First Met: He looks fine, not that terrible.
Shanshan: That would be fine.
If Only Time Froze When We First Met: That would be fine?
Shanshan: Yes haha. I have a great dream of marrying a head of department.
Shanshan: Does he have a wife?
If Only Time Froze When We First Met: I heard that he lost his wife somewhere.
Shanshan: Ah it’s hopeless then.
If Only Time Froze When We First Met: Why so?
Shanshan: He would definitely get her back if she was just lost, haih.
If Only Time Froze When We First Met: How do you know that he would definitely get her back? What if his wife doesn’t want to go back to him?
Shanshan: That would mean that his wife doesn’t love him that much, so maybe I still have a chance?]
Nalan Chunbo felt like the conversation was making him emotional and didn’t know what to say anymore.
[If Only Time Froze When We First Met: I have something on, I need to get going now.
Shanshan: Bye…]
Wen Shan looked at the profile picture that began to fade, resting her legs on a stool. Not satisfied with how little information she had about If, Wen Shan looked up the name online again while hugging her knees. She got nothing online too this time, but the profile of Nalan Chunbo who was just as famous as If popped up.
Wen Shan looked at Nalan Chunbo’s profile and was speechless.
It was safe to say that Nalan Chunbo was an attention seeker compared to If. After all, If had no pictures online while Nalan Chunbo had plenty.
Wen Shan stared at the man in the picture.
Nalan Chunbo continued to stand by the window and stare at the woman who was sitting by the window too. He had no idea what was on the woman’s mind, though he could tell that she was not happy.
Had she always been like this? She had always been the happy, chatty Wen Shan whenever she was with someone, and was only her true self when she was alone.
Nalan Chunbo looked at Wen Shan for as long as she sat on the stool.
She continued to sit on the stool until the sun set, until the lights in all the other houses came on, and until the light from the computer was the only thing that allowed Nalan Chunbo to see Wen Shan’s face clearly in the dark.
Until…
Wen Shan finally regained focus and fell down when she tried to get up on her numb legs. Nalan Chunbo instinctively wanted to rush out to help her when Wen Shan let out a cry, but did not do so eventually and looked at Wen Shan who was slowly getting up on her own instead.
Wen Shan got up from the floor slowly with the help of the table. Feeling the pain in her legs, she put her hands on the table, her small face twisting in frustration.
It took a while before she went back to normal again. Nalan Chunbo looked at her hopping around in her room and chuckled, then picked up his phone to dial a number.
