Chapter 11：When They Met (2/2)

It was around the mid-autumn festival when he first heard her name. Su Feng purchased a hazelnut milk tea with a group of friends before he heard a girl call out, ”Song Ren!”

He saw her back and followed through the crowd but it was large and the gaps were too narrow. He left his friends who called out his name but he did not listen.

He kept walking through the gaps but lost her.

He noticed some students selling mooncakes when he asked for a sweet bean pastry. A group of girls from his school approached him. Although he did not court anyone, he did enjoy the attention from girls.

He then caught a glimpse of a young woman behind the girls who flirted with him. He could not understand why but when he saw her, he could not tear his eyes away.

She was a dark-haired beauty with waist-length black hair that swept behind her shoulders. She walked straight and confidently and he composed himself believing she was walking towards him. When she approached the stand, she asked for a sweet bean pastry to the employees.

Su Feng glanced at her but she did not spare one in return. Some of the girls tried speaking to him, but he desperately wanted to ignore them. Politely, he collected his sweet bean pastry when he heard someone say, ”Xiao Ren, which flavour are you getting.” Su Feng stilled.

”Sweet bean,” she said gently with a small smile.

The crowd was large, and because he rarely attended school events more approached him. He tried to squeeze through before Song Ren left, but one of the girls grabbed him when he crashed into someone and the drink spilled on her.

Song Ren was covered in milk tea, her hair matted to her shirt. She glanced at her uniform and the ground. She picked up her sweet bean pastry and pouted. She then asked the student for a new one and exchanged it.

Song Ren then ate the pastry in two bites and walked away nonchalantly. Su Feng wanted to laugh but he did not dare. The girl was more upset about her fallen pastry than the mess of her uniform.

Su Feng stood rooted to the ground when she left. He felt utterly foolish. He did not expect himself to look so uncool, but more importantly he did not expect her to be so pretty. She barely acknowledged him which surprised him even more, but he knew that he wanted to get to know her.

And now, six years later, he still can't tear his eyes away from her. But it was still the same as the before, the distance between them was still large.
