03.

I forced a smile, nodded, and turned around to walk towards my seat.

Because I had expended too much energy in the previous fast running, as soon as I got home, I collapsed wearily onto the bed, burying my face deep into the soft pillow. I fell into a deep sleep without knowing when, and eventually, it was the ringing of the phone that woke me up.

I nodded and gestured to Xiaole to indicate that I would be back soon, then quickly rushed towards the bar.

My cheeks are burning with a hot temperature, but I keep encouraging myself, telling myself that the boy in front of me might be the handsome boy I knew from childhood! Xia Zimu, you can do it!

But in the moment I turned around, I noticed that the girl across from Gu Yichen cast a glance at me.

I was contemplating, wanting to finish saying the apology that I didn't finish just now. But when my gaze unintentionally swept across his neck, suddenly, it felt as if a lightning bolt struck me!

She stared at me with such a gaze for a long time, then turned her head calmly and continued to chat and laugh with Gu Yichen in front of her.

My footsteps have become somewhat heavy, and I feel that the laughter behind me is particularly harsh.

Oh my God!

The handsome boy once said, "That necklace is one of a kind in the world."

The boy in front of me stared rudely at his necklace, frowned, but didn't pay much attention to me, and walked past me with his drink and coffee in hand to a nearby seat.

I forced myself to swallow the words I had originally planned to continue saying, but embarrassingly, I forgot how to react normally.

I was anxious to return to my seat and continue chatting with Xiaole, while tightly holding onto my juice cup. However, due to the frost on the cup, my hand accidentally slipped and spilled more than half of the juice.

Xiaole on the side seems to know what I'm going to do, covering her mouth and giggling.

Moreover, with such exquisite craftsmanship and unique style, there is absolutely no way I could make a mistake.

However ... ....

But while shaking my head, how much I wanted to nod, if he really is the boy I met when I was a child...

Night Blue Network ... ....

At a short distance away, the waiter apologized to me and said, "I'm sorry, miss. Can you get the juice yourself? Something has come up, and I can't leave."

My gaze returned to him once again.

This is a very handsome young man, standing next to him is a girl who is as proud and beautiful as a princess. The two of them look very compatible standing together, attracting many glances.

Zimu, what are you doing? Let's go have coffee together! Xiaole on the phone sounded very energetic, "A local coffee shop has launched a delicious new product!"

As I was about to talk about what happened today regarding the badge, suddenly I saw the bartender waving at us apologetically.

I raised my head and showed a deeply apologetic smile, sincerely saying, "I'm really sorry, just now..."

Just like the beautiful orange juice in the evening sun, the ice cubes collided with each other, causing a layer of slippery frost to form on the outside of the glass.

He smiled very gently at the beautiful girl in front of him, completely different from the cold and icy demeanor he had towards me before.

In his eyes, there is nothing but unfamiliarity.

Still... he no longer remembers me...

Because we haven't seen each other for a few days, there is a lot to talk about. We are telling each other about the interesting things that have happened these days.

I scrutinized the brooch in my hand, which had been lost and regained. The face of Ye Lanluo appeared before me.

But I still stood there, unable to come to my senses.

Isn't that the necklace that the handsome boy who gave me a brooch used to wear?

Although I have no impression of this name, I still hold a glimmer of hope that he might remember my name. So, I try my best to make my voice clearer and speak to him at an extremely slow pace, saying, "My name is... Xia Zimu."

Seeing her like this, my mood is great, and the annoying emotions I had just now have almost completely disappeared.

With each step closer to him, my heart beats a little faster.

"Zimu?" Xiaole's eyes curved, looking at me somewhat narrowly, with raised eyebrows. "What's wrong? Do you know the boy who just passed by?"

I pronounced every word with great effort and carefully observed his reaction.

When I stepped out of the house, I realized it was already evening. However, the air was still as hot and stuffy as before. The only difference was that the golden sunlight had turned into a deep orange, tempting me to reach out and grab a handful.

I am still lazily lying in bed, only to realize that the brooch is still held in my hand.

Unlike just now, he is laughing.

He just glanced at me lightly again, nodded his head, and had no other reaction.

That kind of gaze is very strange, with a slight hostility, mixed with a strange expression, indescribably complex.

Xiaole received a positive response and happily hung up the phone.

A very strange boy!

I don't know why, but there is always a strange feeling in my heart.

By the way! I once told him my name. If I mention my name to him again now, will he remember me?

How could this be so unlucky!

I stared straight at the ceiling, then suddenly sat up from the bed and rubbed my messy hair.

Indeed, upon seeing my arrival, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to want to speak but hesitated.

I gritted my teeth and approached him with big strides.

At that time, I couldn't hear his name, which has always been my regret.

When I arrived at the coffee shop, Xiaole had already chosen a nice seat and was sitting there. She waved at me from a distance, and her eyes curved into crescent moons with a smile.

I let out a slight scream, watching as the juice splashed up so high, mostly spilling onto the pants of a person next to me.

I was startled by such a cold tone, and then I carefully looked at the person in front of me.

I reached out my hand in a daze, carefully looked at the phone in front of my eyes for a while, and only then did I realize that it was a call from my close friend Xiaole.

At this thought, a faint smile appeared on my face, and my heart started beating rapidly, "thump thump", out of control.

I returned to my seat with the only half cup of orange juice left in my hand, but my gaze fell on the boy I had just seen.

I finished drinking the last sip of orange juice in the cup and, hearing her question, shook my head silently.

Full of disappointment envelops me.

However, after such a long time, if we could really meet again, recognize each other, it would truly be a rare fate, wouldn't it?

Finally, I spoke first. Although I had already mustered up the courage before, my voice still trembled slightly: "Um...about what just happened, I'm really sorry. Can you tell me your name?"

Isn't it him?

Is it really him?

My words haven't finished, but the other party showed an impatient look and said coldly, "Forget it, it's nothing."

Such an idea made my eyes light up in an instant, and I stood up with a "swish".

"Drink coffee?" I was still in a half-asleep state, murmuring and repeating, but subconsciously agreed, "Okay, um, see you later..."

In the eyes of the young man, the astonishment grew stronger, but in an instant, he returned to his previous cold and aloof appearance. He lightly uttered three words: "Gu Yichen."
