Chapter 280 - Nicolae (1/2)
'Wait... why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?'
”What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that? What's on my face?” The young man became uncomfortable because Aleksis looked at him like a hungry person.
”Prince Siegfried, Big Brother...!” Aleksis murmured. She hurriedly got up and hugged the young man with tears in her eyes, ”Oh my God... It's been such a long time!!”
”Er... what is this?” asked the young man in confusion. ”Who is Prince Siegfried?”
He tried to push Aleksis away but the girl hugged him very tightly.
This girl was strong, he thought to himself.
”It's been eight years. I intentionally moved to Singapore to find you...” Aleksis said softly. ”We must compete in a Go match, and I will defeat you. Then you must tell me your name...”
The young man scratched his head, it was not itchy but he was feeling awkward. He did not understand what this weird girl was talking about.
”Are you a student here? If you don't know my name, you must have been living under a rock. Everyone knows my name,” said the young man. There is a bit of pride tucked in his words. ”My name is Nicolae.”
Aleksis was stunned. She let go of her arms and observed the young man from head to toe.
Gosh... apparently this was the guy who teased her about eating flies when she was yawning. Aleksis did not pay attention to his face this morning because he walked so quickly.
But now Aleksis was aware that this was the guy who was worshiped by the groupies. He was very handsome, and his long blond hair was tied with a red ribbon. He was tall and well-built and wore very fashionable clothing.
His eyes were brilliant dark blue and looked like a deep sea where people would feel like they could drown in them. He had covered his eyes earlier with a pair of large sunglasses, so Aleksis did not notice.
For a moment Aleksis felt shocked. She had courageously hugged a stranger. She really believed that this man was the Prince Siegfried she was looking for, but now she realized that they had different eye colors. Prince Siegfried had purplish blue eyes, while Nicolae had dark blue eyes.
”Do you wear contact lenses?” Aleksis asked in a probing tone.
The young man shrugged, ”Maybe.”
”Ugh...” Aleksis stared at Nicolae for some time, and then she took a deep breath. ”You're right. I got the wrong person. There's no way Prince Siegfried still looks like you... He should be in his 30s by now...”
With a limp shoulder she walked away from Nicolae, who was left astonished by her behavior.
This girl had hit him very hard, then hugged him, and now nonchalantly left him without explanation. He felt used.
”Hey... don't go yet! I want to talk...” exclaimed Nicolae. Aleksis didn't even turn her head. She only raised one hand and waved without looking at Nicolae. The young man was now curious. ”Weird girl...”
Since meeting 'Prince Siegfried' eight years ago, Aleksis could not forget him. Slowly her memory of her savior's face began to erode with time, but Aleksis was determined to return to Singapore eight years later to find him, compete with him in a Go match, then ask for his name...
