The smile on his face gradually changed from worry to exaggerated pleasure. He seemed to have turned a bit whiter, and his words also seemed taller. His casual, half-length windbreaker and dark jeans were still on the bicycle. His short hair was still fresh, and his facial features seemed much more robust.
However, that smile was still as dazzling as before under the warm autumn sun.
Seeing her sizing him up, Zeng Yaxi did not say anything, but his smile gradually turned bashful. He scratched his short hair, as if trying to hide his foolishness and to protect a little face. "I …" "I've always wanted to invite you to eat Hagan Das, because I promised you, so, I've always come here to find you …"
She smiled and raised her head to look at him. "Since you're so sincere, I'll have to give you a chance."
When he heard her words, he was just about to be happy when she spoke again. "It's just that the weather is very cold. Let's wait until summer …"
After saying that, she put the rest of the notepaper in his basket. "I'm leaving. Goodbye."
Zeng Yaxi felt his heart drop to the bottom. He had spent the past few months thinking and waiting, but had only heard a few simple words from her. If he hadn't read about the demolition of this place in the newspaper today, would he have missed this opportunity and lost her completely?
"Xu Huayan!" He shouted loudly and chased after her on the bicycle …
She was not stupid. She had guessed what this boy was thinking. Although she was moved, it was only to this extent. She was married, and she loved him very much. She couldn't get entangled with anyone else.
Even for this entanglement, she had to strangle him to death!
"Anything else?" Her smile had already disappeared, and her expression was one of impatience and indifference.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time …"
Zeng Yaxi was stung by her coldness, and all the confession words he had prepared in his heart were stuck in his throat.
"Did I tell you to wait?"
Her cheerful voice was cold as she looked at the loss and pain on his face. She couldn't bear it, but she had to do this.
"Xu Huayan, I … "I just want to get to know you …"
Zeng Yaxi mumbled. He felt as if the sky had turned dark, and everything started spinning, leaving him powerless.
All his beautiful and blissful fantasies had been shattered.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to." Then, she steeled her heart, turned around, and continued walking forward …
"Xu Huayan, I like you! "I like you …"
Looking at her frail back, Zeng Yaxi slowly walked away, about to disappear …
He suddenly chased after her on the bicycle as if he had gone mad, shouting loudly …
She quickened her pace and immediately walked to the other side of the street. Coincidentally, a bus slowly stopped at a bus stop not too far away from the bus stop sign. She quickly jogged a few steps and immediately jumped onto the bus …
As Zeng Yaxi watched her get on the bus, the car started and gradually sped up, pulling away from him bit by bit. He didn't know why, but the corner of his mouth curled into a smile as he frantically chased after the bus …
"Xu Huayan …" "Xu Huayan …"
His voice had originally been loud and clear, but now, with the distance of tens of meters between them and the sea of people and the car window, it became faintly discernible …
Her fingers, which were holding onto the armrest, were also dripping with sweat. She turned her head, passing countless people, crossing that long and short distance, and softly looking at the young man who was swiftly chasing after her …
She had never seen such a reckless person who was truly passionate. She had never been confessed so loudly in broad daylight like this …
Zeng Yaxi saw that the car was getting farther and farther away, until he could barely see it clearly. He was panting heavily from exhaustion, but he still did not give up and continued to chase after her …
If she left this time, he had a premonition that he would never be able to find her again!
It turned out that someone was about to get off the car at the next stop. Just as he was about to catch up, the car drove away with a loud bang, pulling the distance between them in an instant.
He stopped in shock, his heavy breathing making him feel uncomfortable. It was difficult to breathe as if something was stuck in his throat. His pair of black bright eyes stared fixedly at the bus that was getting further and further away …
Xu Huayan, how can your heart be so ruthless? So ruthless?
"Xu Huayan …"
He suddenly shouted out loud. The passersby seemed to be scared by him and quickly left while avoiding him …
"I just like you, I just like you …" "Xu Huayan …"
He helplessly pushed the car away and bent down, wanting to slowly kneel down …
He did not dare to raise his head, afraid that the person standing in front of him would not be her. The sweat on his hair drooped down one by one, hitting the dusty road, and was immediately drowned …
The noise of the cars, their voices, and the distant singing had all disappeared. The universe had become a wasteland of silence.
Meeting the person you meet among millions of people, in thousands of years, in the boundless wilderness of time, without a step earlier, without a step later, just chanced upon, there is nothing else to say but to ask softly: "Oh, are you here too?"
"Hey, Zeng Yaxi, why are you here?" Such a pleasant and melodious voice, the unhurried speed of speech, the slightly upbeat tone at the end, the voice that he would always keep in mind over and over again in his dreams …
Who else could it be?
Standing up, he ignored his dirt and dust all over his body and only stared at her, at that smiling and delicate face.
"Wherever you go, I'll chase you. If you go, I'll go as well. If you stop, I'll stop too. Xu Huayan, I've chosen you."
He spoke word by word. His tall body was still considered thin, and the stubble on his lips was still childish. However, his words, his voice, and his domineering oath still moved her.
