Su Li and Gu Ling'an walked quietly on the path together. The night breeze was slightly cool and the moonlight was beautiful. She hoped that the road could be longer and that this wonderful journey would not end so soon.

But soon she saw the sign at the intersection, which was less than ten steps away from them.

At this moment, Gu Ling'an finally spoke up to break the silence. He asked, "What is your dream?"

"Dream?" Su Li didn't expect that he would ask such a question. She was stunned by the question. The word "dream" was a bit unfamiliar to her. She only remembered that it had appeared in elementary school classes. At that time, the teacher liked it the most.

Ask your classmates, "What are your dreams when you grow up?"

The students had various positive answers, "I want to be a teacher."

"I want to be a great scientist."

"I want to be a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded."

"I want to be a policeman who catches bad guys."

She remembered that she was talking about being a teacher, but now she no longer wants to be a teacher.

So what is her current dream? Her mind felt blank.

The other party was still waiting for her answer, so she could only think about it hard. After thinking for a long time, she suddenly realized sadly that she had no dream.

God! She actually has no dreams.

What is the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?

She couldn't be a salty fish, not in front of the boy she admired.

But what is her dream? She became confused and at a loss as she thought about it.

Probably because he hadn't gotten an answer for too long, Gu Ling'an continued to ask out of curiosity, "What's wrong? Is there anything inconvenient to say?" He spoke in a gentle tone and looked down at her, with a soft light in his eyes as deep as night.

"No...no." Su Li couldn't say that she didn't have dreams, at least in front of Gu Ling'an, she couldn't have no dreams, otherwise she would be regarded as a thoughtless and boring person.

She couldn't, so when she was pushed into a hurry, she blurted out and replied hastily, "My dream is to work hard to get into a good university." Although it sounded nothing new and not great enough, it was better than having no dream at all.

What he didn't expect was that Gu Ling'an looked slightly surprised when he heard this, "My dream is the same as yours."

"Ah?" Su Li was much more surprised than he was. She didn't expect that the dream she had spoken out on the spur of the moment would actually collide with the other person's.

Is this God helping her secretly? She became a little happy and asked, "Which university do you want to go to?"

"Tsinghua University!" The four words pronounced clearly hit Su Li's heart. I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to get into this school even if she had to work hard for another ten years.

But Gu Ling'an is so good, he should be able to do it, so she raised her head and looked at him, "You can do it."

When Gu Ling'an heard this, he stopped and looked at her, with a strange expression and a flash of sadness in his eyes.

Only after a long, long time did Su Li realize that these words "You can do it" were the last words another girl said to him before she left this world!

At that time, Su Li only thought that Gu Ling'an felt stressed and unsure, so she said, "I heard from Chen Xi that your grades are the best in the class. If you can't even pass the exam, there will be no hope for this school."

,You can do it for sure."

Gu Ling'an smiled slightly after hearing this, looked up to a very far away place, with a serious and firm expression, and said like an oath, "I can do it!"

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the intersection. The traffic on the road was a little noisy. Two of the street lights at the intersection were broken, and the big tree next to it turned into a tree that could kill people at any time in the darkness.

The devouring beast.

Su Li stood on the left side of Gu Ling'an. He used his tall body to isolate the giant beast, which made her feel very safe.

The night wind blew toward them slowly, blowing her long hair and hitting his arm. She hoped that the car would come later so that she could stay with him for a while longer, even if she got scolded by her father for going back later.

It doesn't matter.

But a taxi quickly came to them. After stopping, the driver immediately rolled down the window and asked, "Where are you two going?"

Su Li told her the address, and the driver nodded, "Come up."

Gu Ling'an remembered something and took out his cell phone from his pocket, "What's your cell phone number? Send me a message when you get there."

Su Li felt warm in her heart. She liked his big brother-like thoughtfulness. After giving him the number one by one, she got in the car and waved to him goodbye, feeling a little reluctant to leave.

The uncle driver gossiped in front and asked, "Who is your boyfriend?"

Su Li's face suddenly turned red, and she quickly shook her head and waved her hands, "No."

"Oh." The driver glanced at her in the front mirror, "You are still young, so it is right not to fall in love early."

"Um."

"Still studying, right?"

"Yes."

"What high school are you in?"

"First year of high school."

"My daughter will also go to high school next year."

She didn't reply, but suddenly she felt that the driver was a bit verbose and his appearance seemed a bit vulgar, so she felt scared and grabbed the cell phone in her hand, ready to call Gu Ling'an at any time.

It would also be nice if there was a hero saving the world.

However, she was just worried about everything, and the car quickly took her to her destination.

After getting off the car, she immediately sent a message to Gu Ling'an, "I got home safely."

Gu Lingan's text message was answered quickly, "Okay, go to bed early."

She looked at the content of the message and the three words "Gu Ling'an" above it and giggled, feeling sweet in her heart.

Entering the living room, I saw my father sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face. When he saw her coming back, he immediately asked, "What did you go to buy?"

Su Li then remembered that she had lied to her father on the phone and said that she went out to the supermarket to buy things. Now that she came back empty-handed, the lie was immediately exposed.

She stood there with her head bowed in silence, not knowing what to say.

Dad came over, took the phone from her hand, and immediately saw the two text messages, "Who is Gu Ling'an?"

Su Li didn't answer. She didn't like her father's attitude toward her.

"A male classmate, right? You actually came back so late after being out with a boy." Dad was very angry and his face turned red. "How old are you? You are not yet a minor, do you know?"

Su Li raised her head, "He is the president of our literary club. We are just classmates. I went to his house tonight because I wanted to..." Before she could finish her words, her father interrupted, "Go to his house?"

Is it just a simple classmate relationship? It turns out that you have been with him recently, going out together until coming home so late every day? Is this called innocence? "

"We don't go out together every day." Su Li guessed that her father must have blamed Gu Ling'an for all the times he and Chen Xi went out.

Dad looked tired and waved his hand as if he didn't want to say any more. "Forget it before. From now on, you are not allowed to go out after seven o'clock without my permission." He said and sat back on the sofa, looking very tired.

Su Li looked at him in protest, "Things are not what you think. Don't you know what I have become over the years? Have I become a bad girl in your eyes?"

After some questioning, my father's expression finally softened a lot, and he said, "No matter what, it is my responsibility as a father to strictly control you. I can't just watch you do something you regret."

"Things I regret? What can I regret?" Su Li didn't understand.

"Today's children fall in love at a young age, hold hands, kiss, and finally end up on the road to abortion." The father became more and more excited as he talked, as if she had already embarked on that road.

"You think I would do that?" She felt extremely insulted.

"I don't care if you know it or not, you are not allowed to go out after seven o'clock." As he said this, he suddenly remembered something, "Whose name is Gu He'an? Is he the one you invited to your house for dinner before?" When he asked this question, he frowned.

Wrinkled into pimples, "He looks so careless and not serious at all. You'd better cut off contact with him and keep your distance." He picked up his phone and deleted Gu Ling'an's number and the two text messages they had just exchanged.
