Seeing the shops in the distance, I secretly wished that this moment would last forever, hoping that the autumn rain would stay forever! Looking at Wan Er’s elegant face, I was at a loss for words. I didn’t know what to say and even when I did, the words would disappear when they reached my lips. I pursed my lips and looked at her once more. Distracted, I didn’t even realize I was standing in the same spot, silent.
Wan Er looked at me as her face reddened. Her two beautiful eyes looked as if they could stare into my inner heart, though I knew that she was not using her mind reading powers. If she had been trying to do so, my Yi Hai would had started to ripple in agitation.
Suddenly, Wan Er turned and faced me, her right arm wrapped tightly around my neck as her body remained closed to mine. Our bodies felt warm as she hugged me tightly; the gentle pitter patter of the rain hitting the umbrella was all that we could hear. I heard only incoherent murmuring as she spoke softly to herself. Even then, I still managed to piece together the words, “I’m not… If so, events in the future… No… At that time, please protect me… ”
Then, Wan Er looked up at my face; a pair of beautiful eyes stared straight into mine as her mouth curled into a beautiful smile. Her voice grew in strength as she said, “I don’t care how much of it you heard, I’ll only say that once…”
I lowered my head and said “Actually, I heard all of it…”
Wan Er’s face flushed with that declaration, “No…no way, you couldn’t have?”
I laughed and bowed slightly. My arm wrapped itself around Wan Er’s waist tightly and I said,
Wan Er, you are the one fated to change my life…”
Wan Er stopped walking and after some time, with a hint of longing in her voice, she said, “You too…”
I didn’t answer her.
