Chapter 97: Song Huating 2
“Ms.Tang!” Song Yi jumped over the school wall, stopping Tang Yu.
“Didn’t you go home?”
“I’m escaping from my brother. Ms.Tang, you have to save me.” Song Yi looked at her with tears in his eyes, as if he was trying to compose himself. “I can’t go back with my brother. He’s going to lock me up and even beat me up…”
Tang Yu looked at him in shock. “Your brother… doesn’t seem like such a person…”
“Why not? He’s very fierce. Tang Yu-Sensei, can you hide me? Take me with you.”
“Where else can I take you then?”
“I don’t care. Take me with you wherever you want to go. That way, my brother won’t find me so quickly. Ms.Tang, you’re my favorite teacher. Now that I’m in trouble, you have to help me! I want to stay with you for a while longer, even if I’ll be caught soon…”
“Where to…”
Song Yi saw that her heart had softened and decided to add on. His eyes sparkled as he said. “Let’s go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park!”
Tang Yu hit his head. “I knew you’d want a place like that!” She looked at the time and thought for a moment before saying, “I just thought of a place that you definitely won’t want to go to…” She smiled menacingly.
Half an hour later, they were at a bookstore.
Tang Yu was reading with Song Yi beside her. He secretly sent a message to his brother on his phone, “Brother, come and save me.”
Song Huating was just outside the bookstore. He silently admired Tang Yu’s graceful back view through the window. It was fresh, beautiful, and elegant.
She did not look different at all. She was still the lively and cute little girl in the school. She was the girl who would tell him everything, whether she was happy or unhappy. She would always follow behind him, asking about his well-being.
He had liked her for two years. Because of his family, however, he had not dared to confess. He had not dared to express his feelings to her. He had not dared to hold her hand and promise her his life.
However, he did not expect her to be married so soon. In just half a year, she had already married someone else.
His mood was very heavy. He wanted to see her, even in his dreams. Yet so what if he met her? He was the one who had left without saying goodbye.
Song Huating had been prepared to give up this relations.h.i.+p. It was only after he returned back to this country that he realized he wasn’t prepared at all. He couldn’t forget her, thinking day and night about her.
Every day, he would immerse himself in his precious memories. He would recall her every frown, smile, and every little detail of the past. The more time pa.s.sed, the more he realized his true feelings.
He had always wanted to throw everything aside and go look for her. He wanted to confess to her, propose to her, and hold her hand as they took a happy stroll down the road.
He was ready to go against his family. He was already planning to turn back. He did not expect that he would meet her the day after he had made the decision. It was already too late by then, she was already married.
Then, he realized that she had not come to San Francisco for him. The joy of their first meeting instantly turned into a bolt of lightning that struck him into an endless abyss.
It turned out that their relations.h.i.+p was not even worth remembering for her. So worthless that she was already in a new relations.h.i.+p. It seemed like he was the only one who had been immersed in their joyous memories for so long.
She was always in his mind, he thought that she would always be waiting for him. He had really overestimated himself.
Song Huating stood at the entrance of the bookstore. He stood straight, attracting the gazes of many girls around him.
“He’s so handsome! Is that handsome guy waiting for someone?”
“He keeps looking inside. I don’t know who he’s looking at.”
“Could it be that girl in a one-piece dress?” The girls discussed in a low voice. They were jealous of the girl’s beauty, but they also felt sorry for the handsome guy. Thus, they walked over indifferently and tapped the girl’s shoulder. “Miss, is someone looking for you at the door?”
Tang Yu turned around and saw Song Huating standing outside the door. He had the same deep look, the same cold look with that arrogant temperament. He did not change at all
Song Yi also turned around and cried, “Oh my G.o.d, he finally came.”
She looked at him in a daze, her emotions fluctuating at the sight of him.
“Are you still running away from him?” She asked Song Yi.
“I’m not running anymore.” Song Yi sighed, but his body ran towards his brother very honestly. He blinked his eyes to indicate that he had completed the mission.
“Long time no see.”
“Long time no see…” Tang Yu lowered her head, not knowing what to say. What was there to talk about between them? It was just the relations.h.i.+p between a senior and a junior. After graduating, it was normal for them not to contact each other. No longer interacting with him, she no longer felt the same helplessness she had experienced in the past.
In the beginning, she had gone to seek his help, hoping that he would help her when she was at her most desperate moment. She wanted to ask him why he had left without saying goodbye.
Now that everything had pa.s.sed, she had already obtained happiness, and had nothing left to say to him.
“Are you married?” Song Huating’s hands trembled slightly as he waited for her answer. He was afraid of her answer. He had been holding back this question for a long time.
