Chapter 22.4: Two People’s Time Machine (两个人的时光机)

When she entered university, Zheng Xie has already entered the working world, hence do not have any holiday. But on occasion weekends, he return to visit his mother. She also rarely had the opportunity to meet him.

Zheng Xie treat He He not much difference from before. He treats her just like a little girl, bring her out to play, buy her snacks and toys and even frowning when she straighten her hair. He was surprised when he found out that she is now much taller, her height reaching his earlobe.

He He is the late bloomer. When Zheng Xie graduated from the university, He He’s height is still below his shoulder.

And then that day, Zheng Xie took her out to eat while meeting some of his old cla.s.smates. Those are no longer students and have the elite social look. Their topic of conversation are too esoteric for her, so she was not interested. Because the food tasted food, she buried her small mouth into eating. Should she find someone looking at her, she will turn and respond with a friendly smile.

She sat beside Zheng Xie. Next to other side is another guy with the surname s.h.i.+. The ‘s.h.i.+’ in the 时间, indeed a strange surname. When he found out that He He loves the dishes served on the table but too embarra.s.sed to eat a lot, he will turn the dishes in front of him and then filled He He’s plate up.

时间 (pin ying: shí jiān) – means time / hour

He He found out later about the missed calls. In additional to Cen s.h.i.+’s number, there are many unknown local number.

She know that Cen s.h.i.+ had come, so returned his call.

Cen s.h.i.+ said: “I came to apologize to you but I promised your brother not to see you again. He He, I wish you happiness…..”

This sentence from Cen s.h.i.+ gradually torn the wounds that had gradually healed.

If Cen s.h.i.+ did not come, she would not had mind. But Cen s.h.i.+ came and for whatever reasons, easily abandon her again.

He He is more hurt the second time. And to make it worst, she is embarra.s.sed that Zheng Xie knew about it.

She had always been growing up in Zheng Xie’s shadow. He treats her like a child. She had always wanted to prove to him that she had grown up.
