Chapter 98

"Li Li, there's something I want to tell you, something very serious and important, not related to movies, not about dreams, but about our relationship."

"What about our relationship... What's wrong with it?"

In the hazy scene, that handsome face showed a helpless smile, "It's over, let's break up."

"What are you talking about! We've been so happy, why? This doesn't make sense, don't play such a cruel joke!"

"Stop it, be mature, this isn't a joke, things have changed. Li Li, every relationship changes, it goes through different stages, just like the four seasons. When we first met, it was spring; then we became a couple, the passionate period, it was summer; then our passion waned, our interest in each other decreased, it was autumn; finally, we had no feelings left, it was winter. Now we are in winter, it's time to end."

"No, no... Wei, I feel we are still in summer... Isn't everything fine?"

"Sorry, girl, but I don't have feelings for you anymore, goodbye."

Ye Wei waved his hand, ignoring her cries, and turned to leave. Suddenly, another girl linked arms with him, her face unclear. They laughed and chatted, gradually walking away...

"No, Wei..."

Suddenly, Li Li woke up, the room was pitch black, her heart beating rapidly. She opened her eyes and saw that she was in her bedroom, lying in bed.

Just now, it was a nightmare, just a silly nightmare!

Damn, really, why would I have such a nightmare, and he even spoke like a philosopher, talking about the four seasons, really...

Li Li mumbled and turned over, wanting to go back to sleep, but she was already fully awake, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Her chaotic thoughts kept swirling, trying not to think about it, but naturally thinking about it, the more she thought, the more alert she became...

Gradually, she opened her eyes wide, staring at the ceiling, and reached for her phone on the bedside table. It was February 13th, 4:12 AM, still a long time before dawn.

She flipped through her contacts, looking at Ye Wei's name, a confused voice echoing in her heart: Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, then Wei will...

"Stop thinking about it, go to sleep." Li Li put down her phone, turned over, and pulled the blanket over her head. After a moment, she suddenly popped out, blinking her eyes, "Just for a little while!"

She got out of bed, put on a coat, and sat down at the computer desk by the balcony. She turned on the computer, and soon opened the web pages, with Google and Yahoo open.

Her bright eyes glanced at the No. 6 red and black jersey hanging on the wall, and her slender hands began to type, searching for "first-love (初恋)." Her face showed a hint of excitement, as if expecting to see something.

Millions of results appeared. She moved the mouse, looking at the top results: "Why is your first love so unforgettable," "No matter what the feeling, first love is never true love," "21 things first love teaches us," "10 things to watch out for in first love," "When should you say 'I love you' in first love"...

It felt like opening Pandora's box. Li Li's heart was a mix of unease, curiosity, and amusement. Isn't it interesting, people talk about first love like poets, just as Shelley said, hunger and love rule the world.

She bit her lip, hesitated for a while, and finally clicked on "Why do people's first loves always end in failure?"

Teenagers are more likely to accept each other, Blah-Blah-Blah, as both parties grow up, their life philosophies change, they meet more friends, and they find people more suitable and more attractive, Blah-Blah-Blah, falling in love too early often turns into friendship due to familiarity...

"First love is like a roller coaster, it makes every moment of life so exciting and wonderful, every detail gives you a new experience, opening the door to love in your heart, but it always gets tired quickly and then falls to the bottom. Cherish the time of your first love, good luck."

Her thick eyebrows furrowed, not 100%, right?

She closed the page, clicked a few more times, and opened a forum post titled "Why can't I forget my first love?"

The post was written by a middle-aged woman, who said she had her first love when she was a teenager. The boy was confident, excellent, and successful. They had an incredibly wonderful year, but because they attended different high schools, their relationship cooled, and he eventually broke up with her.

Years later, both had their own families, but the woman couldn't forget him, saying she had never loved anyone as much as him, and no one could make her love as deeply as he did. However, she knew they could never be together again, and she was confused, hoping for some help.

"First love is like that, it's the first time you love a stranger outside your family, and maybe the last time." "You miss the youth, not the person. Even if you get back together, you won't have that feeling again." "Sadly, those memories will stay with you for life, until you're too old to walk, you'll still be thinking about that year. That's the meaning of first love."

"SHOOT." After reading for a while, Li Li suddenly let out a small curse, closed the post, and returned to the Google results page. This wasn't a rare story, but a common development and outcome of first love.

But not 100%, right? There are other outcomes...

Suddenly, a memory surfaced, "I love you," "I love you too," her parents sweetly told each other, and then...

She propped her cheek, what was she really looking for? Some comfort, some courage, some good aspects? Some happy stories of first love couples getting married and having children?

Scared by this thought, Li Li shook her head in confusion. No, that's too far away, she just wanted to know how to make spring and summer last longer...

At least, through high school, college? At least then she could worry about their future.

She took a deep breath, her hands rapidly typing on the keyboard, searching for phrases: "How long can first love last," "How long does the passionate period usually last," "How to make the passionate period last longer," "Is it good to establish a relationship after dating for three months?" "The difference between boyfriend, girlfriend, and dating," "Reasons for breaking up in first love"...

Time passed, the sky outside gradually lightened, it was almost 5:00 AM.

Li Li suddenly angrily closed all the web pages and cleared the browsing history, as if she had just done something secret, and didn't want to remember what had happened.

She stared at the screen expressionlessly, looking at the photos they had taken together, thinking for a long time, but the more she thought, the more confused she became. Once the relationship was established, as Wei said in her dream, it entered the next season, getting closer to winter... The bad boy's summer, so short?

Stop thinking, stop thinking, live in the moment!

She told herself this, but her hands opened the web page again, searching for "Reconciling after breaking up in first love."

...

On the other side of Brentwood, Ye Wei was lying in bed, snoring loudly, the blanket almost completely kicked to the floor, with Toto lying on the side.

At this moment, he turned over, scratched his thigh, and mumbled in his sleep, "Because I like Chinese food, Chinese food is nutritious..."

...

Li Li stayed at the computer until nearly 6:00 AM, and was caught by her mother, who scolded her, "Don't you have school? Do you still have the energy?!"

She couldn't explain, just emphasized that she wasn't staying up all night, and had just woken up.

"Just now?" Taverman touched the hot computer, her face stern, "Do you think Mom doesn't know about computers? Did Wei ask you to play some online game?"

"No, what are you thinking?" Li Li didn't have many games on her computer, only occasionally playing "Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2."

"Mom, I want to ask you a question." She hesitated, then shook her head, "Never mind, don't worry about it..."

Taverman sensed something was wrong, her expression and tone softened, "Li Li, you can tell Mom."

"No, it would be weird." Li Li shook her head, "You can't tell me either."

In the end, she said nothing, turned off the computer, and went to wash up.

When the sky outside was fully bright, Li Li, in a light red tracksuit, went out for a morning run, heading to the "usual spot" on Sunset Boulevard. Recently, she and Ye Wei met there every day, spent some time together, and then ran back home separately.

The morning air was fresh, squirrels lined up on the tree branches, ready to forage, watching the residents who occasionally jogged by.

Her ponytail swayed as Li Li turned a corner and could already see Ye Wei, dressed in a jersey, standing far away.

"Hey!" Ye Wei saw her, ran up, his steps full of energy, feeling refreshed since things were settled.

Coming up to her, he looked at his watch and said, "You're three minutes late today, how should I punish you?"

"Come on, you were five minutes late yesterday, and I didn't punish you." Li Li smiled and rolled her eyes.

"But I'm not as merciful as you, watch out!" Ye Wei lunged at her, but she just laughed and pushed him away, not playing around as usual. He didn't mind, shrugged, and ran east, with her following.

They ran for a while until they were slightly out of breath, then slowed down to chat.

"Tomorrow is... Saturday, after school, do you want to go somewhere to play?" Li Li asked tentatively, with various web pages flashing in her mind.

Ye Wei looked at her, sensing her anticipation, and smiled, "Tomorrow is a big day, so after school, we'll meet at school, then go to Santa Monica to play, have dinner, and continue until 11 PM, how does that sound?"

"OK..." Li Li agreed, feeling both excited and anxious, the thought kept flashing, making her say, "I want to have a normal day tomorrow."

"Normal is good." Ye Wei nodded, "I like normal days now too." Mainly because he had no money for grand gestures like sending 999 roses, so he would send 9! A lucky number.

Did he catch my hint? Li Li's heart tightened, not knowing what to say: "I mean, a very normal day, like usual."

"Got it, no problem!" Ye Wei patted his chest, no grand gestures, no public confessions like in the middle of a sports game, okay, then after school, a romantic moment just for the two of them.

He thought and said, "Li Li, do you want to watch a movie tonight, or what? If we watch a movie, I'll pick a good one, I can't be casual about this, ha ha."

"Really, just a normal day, you know... tomorrow is just a normal day."

"Are you trying to say something?"

"No, I'm just afraid you'll make it too grand... I want it to be like usual."

"Understood." Ye Wei was a bit puzzled, he believed no girl disliked romance, maybe she was worried about him spending too much money, what a good girl! He laughed, "Don't worry, if it's grand, my car money will be gone, and we'll have to ride bicycles for a breeze."

Li Li was still hesitant, "Normal means..."

"Got it, as you wish!" Ye Wei looked at his watch, surprised, "We need to go back, or we'll miss the school bus, see you later." He ran back.

"Wei, just... don't..." Li Li stood there, her voice soft, watching him run away, she lowered her head and sighed.

Then, she lifted her face, raised her eyebrows, don't be like this, stop thinking too much, enough...

As Connie said, it's just nervousness, these thoughts will be gone when the time comes, right, just nervousness.
