Chapter 23: Someone Looked Up To You (1/2)

Proofread by Peter Gong

Charlie feels that he is trapped in a blind alley and can't find a way out. Obviously, he should give up Mandy and keep the relations.h.i.+p between Vivi and him. But, he is unable to do that.

That night, what Mandy says still echoes in his ears, and the cynical look in her eyes constantly lingers in his mind. He feels upset, and then the door is suddenly knocked.

Cleaning the annoyance that shouldn't be in his eyes, Charlie restores to his calmness and shouts, ”Come in.”

The visitor is Young.

Charlie is stunned at first. Then he stands up, walks towards Young and asks, ”Why do you come here?”

”I deal with something near here and remember that your company is here. So, I drop in. Don't you welcome me?” Young smiles with natural and graceful eyes.

”Why don't I welcome you? I just thought that you fall in love with someone lately.” Charlie deliberately entertains him when he recalls the photos.

Young still smiles and says with the unchanged look, ”I don't fall in love with someone lately. But it's you who just married a beautiful wife.”

Charlie has observed him all the time. When he sees that Young looks normal, he has no idea why he is a little relieved. He also laughs and says, ”If you want to get married, I can introduce someone to you. The second daughter of Wen's family is pretty good.”

””No, no, I just came back. I want to have a secluded life for some days.” Young refuses constantly, then changes the subject, ”Have you finished your work? Are you free to go out for drinks?

”Well, wait for me. I'll be ready in a minute.”

When Young leaves Jiang's company, it's not completely dark outside. Young gets into Charlie's car, and they drive to the bar street. They talk and laugh on the way. When they arrive there, it's completely dark and the bar street presents a scene of feasting and revelry.

After drinking a gla.s.s of wine, Young can't help recalling the past. He talks about some interesting things in his childhood, and then he talks about Mandy. Charlie has never thought that Young would suddenly talk about her, and is stunned for a moment.
