“At that ti, you were feeding two children, a boy and a girl.
One was about four or five, the other six or seven.
They were fussy eaters and yet, there you were, patient, humming songs and telling them stories as you fed them… You were telling them the tale of Sanmao the Wanderer…”
Nanxi was sowhat taken aback.
She had almost forgotten about this incident, but now that Lu Yinchu has brought it up, it seed vaguely familiar.
In truth, Nanxi wasn’t particularly good at storytelling.
The two children were little nuisances, absolutely refusing to eat.
Quite helplessly, she alternated between singing songs and telling stories…
Unexpectedly, all these things have been witnessed by Lu Yinchu, engraved in his mory!
Could it be possible that Lu Yinchu fell for her at that mont?
Highly unlikely!
The streets were full of girls.
There were plenty of volunteers feeding children.
A man like Lu Yinchu wouldn’t beco infatuated with soone so impulsively.
No, he just doesn’t strike as soone possessed by superficial attractions!
With a light stroke of his fingers across her cheek, Lu Yinchu smiled gently, “I’m grateful for those two hours, and equally grateful that you were within my reach during those hours.
I guess the force that led to take a detour probably was you…
Nanxi!”
“…” a dumbfounded Nanxi cleared her throat awkwardly and stamred, “Back then, I was just… an ordinary volunteer…”
What she ant was, the idea of love at first sight was rather absurd, sothing she didn’t quite believe.
Besides, didn’t Lu Yinchu harbor affection towards another woman in his heart?
Wasn’t that woman already… for eight years?
Lips curled into a gentle smile, Lu Yinchu fixed his gaze on her, never wavering for a bit.
He said:
“Yes, you were indeed an ordinary volunteer.
But amongst the many inhabitants of this world, amongst the myriad of female volunteers who participated in the event, why was it you that I ended up eting…
And what’s even more incredible is that after almost two years, we et again now….
Nanxi, don’t you agree this is so sort of a fate?”
A tremor passed through Nanxi’s eyelashes, not sure of what to say.
Lu Yinchu, observing her lovely cheeks, leaned in to kiss her.
She took a step back, unable to avoid him.
His lips touched hers, their eyes wide open, their lashes almost brushing against each other…
A stunned Nanxi tried to squirm away, but Lu Yinchu stopped her.
“Nanxi,” he said, “do you know what I want to ask you right now?”
Nanxi bit her lip, remaining silent.
Lu Yinchu smiled, “Don’t you want to know what it is?”
Nanxi: “…Fine, what is it?”
With a sigh, Lu Yinchu’s gaze flickered for a mont.
Despite being so close to him, she could see no imperfections in his srizing features.
If there were any, they were his eyes… too cold, intimidating enough to make one avoid direct eye contact…
“I want to ask you, if…
I an if, destiny arranged for us to et again two years later, and you didn’t have a longti boyfriend.
Instead, you were just a regular university senior.
You encountered a man nad Lu Yinchu….
He is extraordinary, handso, captivating.
He understands you and shares so many similarities with you.
He is tolerant, considerate, plans everything for you, prepares everything for you…”
Listening to his words, Nanxi frowned: Is it possible for soone to praise oneself so much?
Exactly how narcissistic could this man be!
At the sa ti, an underlying sadness filled her heart.
Lu Yinchu was saying ‘if’, but life doesn’t entertain ‘ifs’.
We all strive to advance, ceaselessly moving forward…
No matter what you encounter in the process, all you have is to keep plunging ahead, regardless of consequences.
When people speak of looking back, it ends up being hypothetical “ifs”…
He asked, “… so, Nanxi, would you still reject as you did today?
Would you consider … accepting ?”
Nanxi bit her lip, took a long mont before she spoke.
“I can’t, and I won’t answer to this question.
Because it’s utterly pointless,” she said.
Lu Yinchu furrowed his brows, “Why?”
“Because, if I didn’t have my boyfriend, I wouldn’t be in this city.
You wouldn’t have seen telling stories to the children two years ago, nor would I have taken my cousin’s place to pass you ssages a couple of months ago, let alone all the entanglent between you and … how do you expect to answer your question under such circumstances?”
Her aning was clear.
Li Weihuan played a critical role in her life.
Without him, her life as it is wouldn’t exist!
Yet, the irony was: she was the one who impacted his life the most!
Was this karma?
Probably so!
Lu Yinchu moved back to his seat, took a deep breath, seemingly struggling to suppress the anger within.
He said, “Nanxi, do you know?
I am insanely jealous of your boyfriend.
I am jealous of him for confiscating six years that could have been ours!
I even despise him.
No, it’s not a matter of ‘even’.
Truth be told, I resent him a lot!”
