At that time, I was walking home from school with Xiao Huai, strolling through the neighborhood like this.
"You still seem unhappy," Xiao Huai's voice broke the silence.
I snapped back to reality and forced a smile, "Do I?"
"Yes," he nodded. "Since you joined the company, I haven't seen you happy."
I paused for a moment before realizing he was right.
Indeed, I hadn't been very happy since starting at the company. The work wasn't what I wanted to do, and then there was Ma Jia...
"Xiaoyue," Xiao Huai suddenly asked me, "why did you break up with Ma Jia?"
I pressed my lips together, unsure if I should answer.
Xiao Huai smiled lightly, "You don't have to say anything; I can probably guess."
"Xiao Huai," I suddenly wanted to know, "why did you come back to the country?"
"What do you think?" he countered.
I shook my head, "I don't know."
"You don't know?" He looked at me intently. "Do you really not know?"
I averted my gaze, unable to meet his eyes.
I heard Xiao Huai let out a bitter laugh: "Xiaoyue, do you know that for the past six years, I've been trying to forget you?"
I widened my eyes in disbelief as I stared at him.
Xiao Huai sighed.
"But I failed. I realized I can't forget you at all, so I came back home."
"Why?" I looked at him. "Why do you want to forget me?"
"Because I don't want to remember you."
He gave a bitter smile. "Because remembering you only brings me pain."
My eyes unknowingly turned red.
It turned out that just as I liked him, he liked me too.
"Xiaoyue," he suddenly asked me, "are you happy now?"
I lowered my head, unsure how to answer.
Am I happy?
Actually, I'm not happy at all.
But how could I say that out loud?
Xiao Huai smiled and said, "If you don't speak, I'll assume you're not happy."
"Xiao Huai," I whispered, "I'm not the same person I was six years ago."
"But in my heart, you'll always be that person."
He looked at me.
"Xiaoyue, I know you broke up with Ma Jia. Can I pursue you?"
My heart skipped a beat.
I didn't know how to respond to Xiao Huai's question.
So, I could only watch him leave helplessly.
After he left, I returned home, my emotions still unable to settle for a long time.
Xiao Huai confessed to me.
He confessed to me!
He asked if he could pursue me.
I lay on my bed, feeling sweet inside, as if I had returned to being eighteen again.
But then I thought about it and became scared.
I am already twenty-seven, no longer the little girl of eighteen.
How should I accept his confession?
How can I be with him?
The next day, I went to work with two huge dark circles under my eyes.
Just thinking about what happened last night made me anxious.
However, what made me happy was that the lawyer sent me a message saying I could sue to recover the money taken by Ma Jia.
But the process would be complicated.
I pressed my lips together; I didn't want to get involved with Xiao Huai over something like this.
After hesitating for a moment, I sent Ma Jia the lawyer's words along with my transfer records.
I hoped to resolve this matter privately.
There was silence from Ma Jia for a long time.
I waited for a long time, and he sent me a photo.
It was a picture of Xiao Huai and me together last night.
Due to the angle, it looked as if we were kissing.
I widened my eyes in shock.
Could it be that last night Xiao Huai...
"Jiang Yue, if you want to get your money back, you can," Ma Jia sent a voice message.
"But I want to contact the media to expose Xiao Huai for being the mistress."
