“I’ll give you a hint. I’m not from your school, but we’re really close. I used to wear spectacles…”

As the man said this, he mimed pushing glasses up his nose bridge. Although he was not wearing spectacles now, when he did that, it gave one the feeling that he looked better wearing a pair.

“Ah!” She widened her eyes as the man touched his nose bridge with a finger. Next, a very bright smile blossomed on her lips.

“I know! You are Senior Fu!” she happily exclaimed. “Senior, why aren’t you wearing spectacles anymore?”

“You, lass, used to call me Brother Mingxuan; why are you calling me ‘Senior Fu’ now?” He shook his head in amusement and affection upon seeing her bright smile.

She blinked at him, asking a little abashedly, “Is calling you that no good?”

“Yup. Calling me that makes me feel very distant from you,” Fu Mingxuan softly agreed. “By the way, where have you been all these years? D’you know how worried I was about you? I even wondered what had become of you.”

Even though he only said these few words, she could still sense the affection in his voice.

He had probably looked for her for a long time after she had suddenly disappeared back then.

“Se—” Looking at his light smile, for some reason, she could not speak.

The two were not classmates actually and only met by chance when their respective schools organized a friendly basketball match. At that time, the man had come to her school to look for someone.

She was her school’s cheerleader. In her rush to arrive on time, she had collided with him and subsequently dirtied his uniform.

Under someone else’s urging, she agitatedly undressed him to wash his clothes.

That was how they met…

“I’m sorry…” She pursed her lips and gave him an apologetic look.

“That, you should be. Didn’t we make a promise to go to Ocean World together then? You broke it.” He smiled softly.

“Senior, I’m really sorry…” As she listened to his recount, she realized how terrible she was for leaving without even saying goodbye.

“You’re still calling me that?” He looked amusedly at her. Seeing her start to panic, he shook his head wryly.

“It looks like we’ve really become distant. You wouldn’t be this polite with me in the past.” He looked at her with feelings of nostalgia.

“The past you were never polite with me. You used to scold me all the time. You were always fierce and refused to smile at me then.”

She expressed her unhappiness at once when he started listing out her previously unladylike deeds.

“Since when have I ever scolded you?!”

“You never scolded me? Have you forgotten? You scolded me using those same words you have used on that woman earlier.” He was thoroughly amused now. For some reason, he also felt very happy.

He was celebrating the fact that he had tagged along to his friends to this banquet; otherwise, he would have missed meeting her.

“Ah! No wonder you easily identified me. You really know how to hold grudges! Back then, I merely mistakenly thought you were two-timing a friend of mine! You’re quite petty for remembering all that.” She pouted.

In fact, from knowing each other to becoming good friends, meetings had happened in between.

“Yes, yes, yes! I am petty. Then, can I ask our great Miss Pei: where have you been all these years? Why have I been unable to find you?” He desperately wanted to know how this little lass, whom he was holding dear in his heart even now, had been these past few years. Who did she meet? Did she have a boyfriend?

“I didn’t really go anywhere; only… Something happened to my family at that time. My dad… died in a car crash and my family’s business went bankrupt. Plus, I myself got into a car accident—”

He interrupted her at this point.

“You got into a car accident?! Were you hurt anywhere? Are you all right now?” he nervously interrogated, feeling panicky inside.

Noting his panicky look, she shook her head with a laugh. “It’s been over a decade since that happened; how would there still be any problem? Why’re you making a huge fuss over nothing…”

This was when he realized that his reaction was a little too huge.

“Th-Then… Were you hospitalized back then?” He frowned at her. There was suddenly a little pain in his heart.

Although she only casually brought this up, she had probably suffered a lot.

The little princess from back then must’ve been devastated after all that happening. I know how much this little princess loved and adored her father.

At that time, when he did not receive any calls from her, he went to look for her in her school, only to find out that something had gone wrong.

It was too late by the time he went looking for her.

He… had lost her and was unable to find her. It was as if the joyous time this little lass had brought to his life was purely a dream.

Still, he refused to give up this ‘dream’ in his heart even now…

“Yes, I stayed at the hospital for so long! That’s why… you shouldn’t get mad at me. I really didn’t do it on purpose.” Her doe eyes blinked at him. The pitiful appearance of her was too much for his heart to take.

Peering into her watery eyes, he could not help but pat her head gently.

“I will get angry with anybody, but that person will never be you.”

How can I ever bear to get angry with you? I’ve waited for so long… for you to appear before me again…

She wanted to dodge his hand originally but stopped when she caught sight of the loneliness in his eyes.

“Ge Ge, next time, don’t leave without a word again. I will get worried…”
