Alvin remained stiff and did not move for a long time.
After a while, he felt the warm wetness of her tears dampening his shirt, spreading to his shoulder area.
Aurelia cried silently in his arms.
He did not comfort her because he did not know what had happened in those five years. Furthermore, something must have happened since Aurelia was so sad when she reunited with him.
“You said that when you were young, you hated black puppies for some reason. When you saw them, you always felt that you were going to be unlucky.”
“You also said that your initial dream was to become a doctor. Your family supported you. Your father thought that doctors made a lot of money, and your mother thought that girls would love doctors.”
“You did not explain to them the reason behind your dream. One day, you told me the actual reason why you wanted to become a doctor. It was because you wanted to have the ability to save lives.”
“But later on, you couldn’t stand the anatomy course, so you didn’t apply to major in medicine. You thought long and hard about it for an entire night. The next day you used a die to decide and applied for the finance department.”
“You even lied to your family and said that you had thought it through and knew what you wanted.”
“All of these things… you’ve only ever told me.”
“Alvin, do you believe that I’m your future girlfriend now?”
Alvin was stunned because every word was true.
These were all things that Alvin kept in his heart, unwilling to share with others.
These were all things that were on his mind.
He regretted what he had filled in in his aspiration form, so much so that he embarked on a career that he did not like at all.
Therefore, even though it had been a long time ago, he still remembered the matters related to his career.
However, he would not tell anyone about it, because adults have to bear the pain alone.
But if there was one person who was willing to accept everything about himself, Alvin would probably complain about it all to them in some casual late-night chat.
Being in a relationship was actually a process of growth. It made him more honest and aware of himself.
Alvin now completely believed that the Aurelia in his arms really came from the future.
“I believe you.”
Alvin replied, “I would also like to apologize to you. I heard that you cried on the side of the road after our encounter at the cafe.”
He had heard about this from Jerry. Alvin did not understand Aurelia when they were at the cafe, so he directly rejected the confession. As a result, Aurelia could not control her emotions and thus, cried on the road.
“Yes, I did,” Aurelia didn’t hide anything and confirmed the matter.
Alvin nodded slightly, “You can tell me. Tell me that you feel very aggrieved. Maybe I’ll change my mind.”
“I won’t tell you,” Aurelia answered. “Adults have to bear the pain alone. That’s what you always say.”
The two of them were silent for a while, and then Aurelia spoke first.
“Alvin, be my boyfriend.”
“Roger that.”
Alvin did not even think about it and directly gave an affirmative answer.
Although in Alvin’s perspective, the two of them had known each other for not more than half a day.
But according to Aurelia, the two of them had been in love for at least five years. They eventually even held a wedding.
This showed that she was indeed very compatible with him.
Alvin was the type of person who would rather have no one than settle for someone who was not suitable. He would only think of furthering the relationship if it’s with someone compatible.
