Chapter 142: Haohua's Explanation 4

142. Chapter 142 Haohua's Explanation 4

"Hehe, no need, my and Xuanxuan's tastes are almost the same, so thanks." It seems Haohua also isn't backing down.

But hearing Haohua say that, I always find it grating; my and his tastes are almost completely different—he prefers sweeter food, while I prefer lighter flavors, a faint sweetness is enough for me; he likes to eat celery, whereas I dislike it.

So I couldn't help but glance at Haohua, meeting his gaze; his eyes suddenly became extremely gentle, a faint smile curling his lips as he softly said to me: "Sometimes some things will gradually change, but some things cannot be changed."

I didn't understand what he meant, feeling vague.

"Some things can change, some things gradually change with the passage of time." I said with a faint sorrow. As I spoke those words, my heart gave a slight twitch; I don't know why I feel this way—could it be that I still regret the feelings between Haohua and me? Or am I afraid of this new feeling with Shangguan Yun?

Time can fade everything, but time cannot fade feelings. These were Haohua's words before he left. He didn't join me for a meal; he just left after saying that, and before departing he gave me another line: "At eight tonight, I'll wait for you at the old place. I'll wait until you come."

Watching his slender figure, I felt a bit sour inside, recalling when we were together—I could always see that brilliant smile on his face, that smile like winter sunlight warming my heart; every time we were together, I felt that all I needed in the world was him. My eyes held only him, my heart held only him; in truth, everything else seemed empty to me.

I always thought he was my whole world; every time I hugged him, I would tell him, "I love you more and more," "I can't imagine what I'd be like without you by my side," "I don't know if I could still go on." And each time he would smile, gently pinch my nose, and say, "Silly, how could I leave you? Don't think nonsense." Although deep down I knew he would never abandon me, I still wanted him to say over and over to my face that he loves me, won't leave me, and will cherish me for a lifetime.

I also clearly remember that after school each time we would go to the park near Xuexiao. Regardless of winter or summer, after dinner each evening we would always go to the park near Xuexiao to sit, find a secluded spot, sit down, lean into his embrace, and when it got dark he would always gently kiss my cheek. It felt like life back then was simple and happy.
