Chapter 143 Who Is He?
"Nothing. It's just a bit hot. I'll eat it later," Norah said.
As she lowered her head, she smiled lightly with sweetness.
She remembered when she was in high school, couples would often go out to eat together. She had
never been in a relationship before and didn't really know about love.
But she often saw couples sharing a bowl of rice or noodles. Sometimes, when the boy fed the girl
noodles, the girl would smile happily, the two of them so sweet.
Back then, she was young and naive, thinking that love was just sharing a bowl of noodles. Couples
would be willing to have food together.
That was enough.
As she grew older, she realized how naive and wonderful her thoughts were back then.
She came to understand that adult love was fraught with complexities, compromises, and calculations.
But she still stubbornly believed that love was beautiful and sweet.
Although she had been hurt by love countless times, she still believed in it as she always had.
Although they no longer had the fate of spending their lives together, at least at this moment, she felt
that they were like any other young couple around her.
It was as if they were not adults, and they had never been married or divorced.
They were just like these high school students, innocent and sweet, enjoying the sweetness of love to
the fullest.
And that was enough for her.
They both ate the large bowl of rice noodles very slowly.
In the end, they finished the noodles, leaving just a bit of soup.
Norah was already full.
Just as she put down her chopsticks, she saw Shawn pick up the spoon and drink the soup from the
noodles.
At that moment, she was shocked.
In her impression, Shawn didn't seem like the kind of person who would even drink the soup from the
noodles they shared. Eating together with her must be hard for him enough.
She was stunned for a moment before asking, "Are you... not full? Do you want me to order another
bowl of noodles for you?"
"I'm full."
Shawn quickly reacted and explained, "I just feel that sharing a bowl of noodles with you is something
wonderful. We may never have this opportunity again, so I treasure it."
When they left the small restaurant, the sky had already turned dark, and the stars were shining.
The weather was clear, so there were lots of stars in the sky, shining like dazzling jewels. It was a
breathtaking sight.
"I miss this place so much. I wish I could go in and take a look." Norah sighed as they approached the
school gate.
"Wait for me."
After saying that, Shawn quickly ran away.
Norah saw him run towards the guard's office at the gate, and he seemed to have said something to
the security guard. Then he ran back to her.
He ran very fast, so he was panting as he said, "Alright, let's go in and take a walk."
"What?"
Norah was really surprised and couldn't react for a moment.
After a while, she gradually came back to her senses. "Did the security guard agree to let us in? I heard
that the management here is very strict, and unrelated people are not allowed to get in and out."
In fact, Norah had tried to get in many times before but was always stopped outside.
"We can go in now." Shawn said, "But, I might need to hold your hand as we go in."
"Why?"
"Because..." Shawn paused, his deep and pleasant voice slowly coming through the darkness. "I told
them that my wife and I were alumni of this school. We met here ten years ago, and today is our
wedding anniversary. My wife really missed this place and wanted to go in for a walk. I promised we
would leave within an hour." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"Then, I gave each of them a box of cigarettes."
Norah couldn't help but exclaim after hearing this. She said, "It's not right to deceive people like this, is
it?"
"It's not entirely a lie. Some of my words are true!" Shawn said.
Norah's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Did he know that? Did he know that she first met him at this school?
Looking up, she asked in a trembling voice, "Do you know that?"
"Know what?" Shawn was puzzled.
"I mean..." Halfway through speaking, Norah was afraid that she didn't express herself clearly, so she
hastily changed the way of asking him. "Do you remember when we first met?"
"The first time?" Shawn thought for a moment and said, "Wasn't it when you brought the bracelet to the
Lawson family to find Grandpa?"
In the darkness, Norah shook her head without a sound. He really didn't remember.
He completely forgot about it, not even having a trace of memory left.
"And when did I forget about it?" Shawn asked again.
Norah shook her head. "No, I was mistaken."
When they entered, Shawn held Norah's hand.
The night wind was a bit chilly, and Norah's hand was cold. At this moment, it was wrapped in Shawn's
big palm, and she immediately felt much warmer.
When they entered and he released her hand, her hand had been warmed up by him.
"Where do you want to go for a walk?" Shawn asked.
"The playground."
This time, Norah answered decisively and directly again.
Because she first met him on the playground.
When they arrived at the playground, Norah was a little excited.
Ten years had passed, but this playground was still the same as before, with the same scenery and the
same location.
Many things in this school had changed over the past ten years. The walls were renovated, new
teaching buildings were built, and even the locations of the library and cafeteria had changed. But this
playground remained familiar.
As soon as she stood on it, memories of the past flooded into her mind like a tide.
She felt like she was watching a movie. Every scene, every minute, and every second was so clear and
so real.
Suddenly, she even felt that everything had just happened yesterday, but it had been ten years.
Time really flew.
She had actually known him for ten years.
A clear tear slid down the corner of her eye, but Norah raised her hand and wiped it away quietly.
Although it was dark, Shawn saw it.
At that moment, his heart sank continuously.
It sank hard and crazily as if it had sunk into an abyss in an instant.
He struggled but felt suffocated in his chest.
He suddenly thought of the question he had asked her earlier. He asked her, "Do you have a special
attachment to No.1 Middle School?"
What was her answer?
She said, "Because I'm filled with nostalgia for the past. I spent my best and happiest years of my
youth here."
So, was she so happy and content because of the man in her heart?
That man was at this school, so she even felt that this school was gentler, encompassing her entire
youth.
Was it true?
Shawn only felt uncomfortable and depressed in his heart. He had told himself not to think about or
mind it.
But now he couldn't stand it anymore and asked recklessly, "Is it because of him?"
