Love Notes

Chapter 000: The Contract Son (ps: This kind of boring nonsense will only be said once; future nonsense will only be posted in the reply section. Due to too many loopholes, *(x) represents annotations, please look for them in the reply section)\The sun was shining brightly, and the scent of rice paddies wafted from the fields along the country road *(1). This road was not like the asphalt or cement roads in big cities; it was just a path made by mixing small stones used for building houses with dirt. Rather than being called a road, it was better described as an unfinished roadbed. This road was meant to be built by the village through pooling money, but the funds ran out halfway, leaving the road as this half-finished product. Although the road became extremely muddy when it rained, it was the only way for this village to communicate with the outside world.\My *(2) family was one of the beneficiaries of this road. I stayed at my grandparents' house, who were genuine farmers. They were frugal every day to do as much as possible for their children. My parents worked in another city, and although I should have been going to school where they worked, my household registration became an obstacle in my way. The government rules stated that students from other regions could not take the college entrance exam, which forced me to return to this unfamiliar "hometown."\My grades weren't particularly good; except for math, which was so-so, the rest were a complete mess. At the school I previously attended, I had always been the top student, and I had quite a few followers. This was because I once bribed a 'big brother' in junior high. Although this big brother was not famous, he was more than enough to intimidate some younger kids in the same grade. Back then, I often saw some male and female classmates holding hands as they went home together, and I envied them greatly. But I did not pursue any girls because I had seen countless long-distance relationships fail; only a few of them were genuinely wished to succeed. I had an inexplicable fear of long-distance relationships. When I was young, I had seen stories of couples in long-distance relationships breaking up and committing suicide, so I was afraid I might become such a story's protagonist.\I have a strange intuition about many things; some events appear in my dreams. For some reason, my dreams have been very accurate; anything I dreamt of once would happen. However, I do not dream very often during my sleep.Whenever I think about the scenes in my dreams, there are always various reasons that wake me up from them. Sometimes, after I wake up, the things that appeared in the dream just vanish in reality.
There is one dream that has surfaced countless times in my mind, yet this dream is very different from other dreams. In other dreams, no matter what happens, there will always be some voices that only the mind can hear. But in this dream, all the sounds seem to be sealed, making them completely useless in this world. He specifically studied lip-reading to try to decipher this dream. Yet in the vague dream state, he couldn't clearly see what they were actually saying. So I have no clue about investigating this dream. He doesn't know the connection between this dream and himself, but he knows that this dream must have some inevitable link to him; otherwise, how could the dream be guarded so tightly?
