You Are My Soul Mate | Xiao Xingchen

"In this life or in the next, I will always love you."

Suddenly, a girl with long blonde hair and black eyes wakes up from her sleep. She bows her head.

"That dream again, who is he really?" the girl thinks to herself.

For the past two weeks, she has been dreaming about the same thing or the same person - a man in traditional Chinese clothing in white, carrying something behind his back wrapped in white cloth. The man's hair is long and flowing, and his face is not very clear to her.

She also sees a girl wearing red traditional Chinese clothing with long hair tied in a ponytail. The girl's face is also not clear, but she looks familiar to her.

Suddenly, her bedroom door opens, revealing a man who looks like her.

"Zena, hurry up, you don't want to be late, do you?"

The girl, called Zena, gets up from her bed and looks at the man. "Yes, I know, brother."

The man just sighs and leaves his sister's room. Zena closes her bedroom door, takes a towel, and enters the bathroom.

Now Zena is sitting at a table with her older brother, Leona Baltasar. Leona watches his sister eating while daydreaming.

Leona gently hits his sister's head with a book, and Zena snaps out of her daydream when she feels something hitting her head.

"Don't daydream, or you'll be possessed by a demon," says Leona.

Zena pouts and looks at her brother. "You don't have to hit my head with a book, Leona."

Leona hits the book on his sister's head again, "It's impolite, call me brother."

Zena doesn't respond and continues eating.

"Why is school so tiring?" the girl complains while sitting on a bench in the park.

It is now March, the cherry blossoms have bloomed beautifully along the road. She closes her eyes and feels the wind. Unbeknownst to her, a man is sitting next to her.

"The weather is beautiful, isn't it?" the man says.

Zena opens her eyes and looks to her side, she sees a man wearing a white suit and white pants. His beautiful black hair and eyes are covered with a bandage.

"Are you talking to me?" Zena asks confused.

The man just smiles, "Is there anyone else besides you sitting next to me?"

Zena looks around and realizes that they are the only ones in the park. She nervously chuckles, "I'm sorry sir, I thought there was someone else here."

The man chuckles softly, "It's okay miss, by the way, if I may ask, what's your name? I'm Xiao Xingchen."

For some reason, Zena feels familiar with the man's name, but she doesn't remember where she heard it before. "I'm Zena Baltasar."

Xiao Xingchen's face looks surprised for a moment, but then he quickly replaces it with a sweet smile, "Zena... a beautiful name for a beautiful person like you."

Zena's face turns red, "Ah... thank you very much, sir."

Xiao Xingchen stands up, Zena looks at him confused. He looks at her and smiles sweetly.

"Hope we meet again, Zena," he says before leaving her alone.

Zena is stunned, she sees a familiar figure from the man. She stands up and walks in the opposite direction of the man.

The wind blows fiercely, scattering cherry blossom petals between them.

"It feels like deja vu," Zena says.

"Finally, we meet," Xiao Xingchen says.
