A Dream in a Parallel World: If Lies Were Never Discovered

The reason why Bai Xunyin had a longing for the north actually stemmed from reading a poem by Liu Changqing before:

“At dusk, the distant green mountains,

The cold sky, the poor white house.

The sound of dogs barking at the firewood gate,

The wind and snow, a person returning home at night.”

It sounded desolate and cold, as if the imagery of ice and snow was rushing towards her.

But sometimes, the less one sees, the more one longs for.

Bai Xunyin grew up in the south since childhood, and she had her own imagination of the heroic spirit of ice and snow. Of course, she wanted to see it, but she wasn’t particularly fixated on it.

Especially after Yu Luoyin brought up this “wish.”

She was stunned for a moment, her heart couldn’t help but beat faster, and after a while, she asked in a dull tone: [Where do you want to go?]

“Lan University is good.” Yu Luoyin smiled. “

Or do you have any other schools in mind?”

Lan University? It was indeed good. Staying in Linlan would make it convenient to take care of her parents.

Bai Xunyin thought for a moment and nodded: [I also think Lan University is good.]

As one of the top three universities in the country, the requirements for scores were naturally very high. To be able to study in the ideal physics department, it would be even higher. She wondered if she could get in.

After school started, studying became the top priority, the most important thing.

As a result, she occasionally unintentionally neglected Yu Luoyin.

The young man often annoyingly poked the slender back of the girl with his pen, muttering, “Why are you ignoring me lately?”

Bai Xunyin turned back and simply wrote: [Studying.]

…

“Is it necessary to be so pressed for time?” especially considering Bai Xunyin’s grades.

The girl smiled, and with a calm heart, she wrote down a sentence for him: [I don’t want to do things without certainty.]

Or rather, risky things. She only wanted to increase the possibility of getting into a university to 100%.

Yu Luoyin’s gaze flickered, suddenly feeling like a slug.

[Moreover.] 

Especially when Bai Xunyin glanced at him and added: [Didn’t you say you wanted to go to Lan University?]

…

Yu Luoyin suddenly felt even more embarrassed.

“Alright.” 

He chuckled lightly, took the pen and answered her in a playful manner: [Starting today, I’ll study as long as you study.]

He suddenly felt motivated.

The most famous scene in the class after that was the sight of the class’s academic stars, the school grass and the school flower, studying day and night in the corner.

Almost all close friends knew that they wanted to go to Lan University together.

Just hearing about it sounded like a fairy-tale couple, and many girls envied them to death.

But during the day, focusing on studying was still manageable. However, when it was late at night and she couldn’t sleep, Bai Xunyin would unintentionally think about some very practical problems.

For example, her accent. Would she still receive strange looks and discrimination in a new environment?

For example, even if they really got into the same university… would Yu Luoyin still like her?

The questions she pondered might sound groundless worries, but they were real concerns.

Bai Xunyin was far from as indifferent as she appeared outwardly.

But apart from Ah Mo, she had no one to confide in about these worries. Not even her closest mother. So she had to keep them to herself and, taking advantage of the time alone with Ah Mo, typed them out on her phone.

Her thoughts were scattered, and her narrative was disjointed, but Ah Mo understood her, and could decipher her words.

After slightly understanding what Bai Xunyin was worried about, Ah Mo was stunned for a moment, and couldn’t help but laugh: “Yinyin, aren’t you thinking too far ahead? You should just focus on your relationship with Yu Luoyin right now, make the most of it—do you really want to think about things many years from now?”

…

Wasn’t it supposed to be like this?

Bai Xunyin blinked in confusion.

“Yinyin, you’re just thinking too much ahead. Hmm, this might be a common problem among you meticulous academic stars.” 

Ah Mo exaggeratedly put on a solemn face and said, “What I think is, seize the day, live for the moment.”

Enjoy the present moment as much as possible, why worry about the future?

Bai Xunyin was stunned for a moment, couldn’t help but laugh, and couldn’t help but feel that what Ah Mo said made sense.

Anyway, she was going to university to study, and her relationship with Yu Luoyin was just a way to balance things out. If they liked each other day by day, and if they liked each other for a long time, maybe everything would naturally fall into place.

And if in the end, they didn’t like each other anymore, then it would be fine to part ways.

What Ah Mo said was right, she didn’t need to worry about those things.

During the scorching days of the college entrance examination, the two of them didn’t meet. It seemed they were deliberately allowing each other to focus and not be distracted.

Until the day it ended, Bai Xunyin walked out of the school gate and saw Yu Luoyin waiting not far away under a tree.

He wasn’t wearing a school uniform, just a gray shirt and jeans, with slightly messy hair.

He was obviously a bit anxious. Although he had promised to quit smoking before, now he was biting a cigarette.

Bai Xunyin took a long breath and ran over to him in three steps.

Yu Luoyin looked up and saw her slender figure, and unconsciously took a few steps forward. 

“How did it go?” he asked nervously, feeling unfamiliar with this strange feeling.

It wasn’t until he saw the girl in front of him smile, nodding towards him, that Yu Luoyin breathed a sigh of relief—because he knew Bai Xunyin wouldn’t lie. If she said it went well, then it must have gone well.

“It’ll be about half a month before the results come out.” 

Yu Luoyin relaxed, naturally took Bai Xunyin’s school bag from her back, and carried it himself.

Both of them felt a sense of relief, feeling as if a weight had been lifted off their shoulders. He couldn’t help but ask, “Do you want to go out and have some fun during this time?”

Bai Xunyin was taken aback, realizing that she hadn’t actually thought about what she wanted to do after the exams.

In her mind, it seemed like everything would end once the exams were over.

But going out to have fun…

Bai Xunyin hesitated for a while, typing to him: [Where do you want to go?]

“I haven’t planned yet.” 

Yu Luoyin smiled and raised an eyebrow at her. 

“But if you agree to go out with me, I can plan right away.”

…

On a second thought, maybe not.

Bai Xunyin’s cheeks unconsciously reddened, shaking her head.

“Why?” Yu Luoyin blinked as if feeling rejected. 

“Are you refusing me?”

[Being alone together.] 

Bai Xunyin pursed her lips and typed in a somewhat old-fashioned manner: [It’s not appropriate to go out alone.]

Yu Luoyin couldn’t help but chuckle.

Feeling even more embarrassed, Bai Xunyin asked dryly: [What are you laughing at?]

“I’m laughing at you… you’re quite clever.” 

Yu Luoyin’s slender hand patted her head, and he couldn’t help but exclaim, “You know the importance of being cautious. It’s a pity that now that I want to take advantage, I don’t have the chance.”

He was deliberately teasing her like a rogue, and Bai Xunyin couldn’t help but smile after listening for a while.

Standing under the big tree, a few rays of sunlight filtered through the layers of leaves and fell on the girl’s body, giving her long eyelashes and the corners of her lips a sacred golden hue.

And yet she was obediently wearing her school uniform, looking even more untouchable.

Yu Luoyin suddenly felt a tickle in his heart.

For no other reason than today might be the last time the girl wore her school uniform… it seemed a shame not to kiss her.

The young man unconsciously licked his lips, his voice hoarse.

“Yinyin.”
