Chapter 133

"Raina Nan, come over for a photo?"

A few girls waved at her.

"Sure."

She nodded and got up, walking over.

"Don't cry~"

"But..."

Looking at the side of her face, there were people immersed in the atmosphere of graduation joy, and naturally, there were also people lost in sorrow.

"Come on, it's not like you'll never see each other again~"

"But, sniff..."

"..."

She fell silent, walking through the crowd.

"Ready, 3, 2, 1~"

The girl in the middle raised a selfie stick.

Only then did she lift the corners of her mouth, looking at the camera with a faint smile.

"OK~ I'll send the photos to the group later."

"Okay~"

"Raina Nan, Raina Nan, I saw Gu Zihang calling you just now~"

A girl sat beside her and asked with a smile.

"Huh? Really? Confession? Did he confess?"

"And then? And then?"

A few girls gathered around when they heard the conversation.

"Well..."

Is this what graduation feels like?

Even people who rarely speak to each other on normal days would exchange a few words today.

Just a few simple greetings, maybe more than the past three years of high school combined.

Even though it was just a gathering, she could see a side of her classmates that was unknown to others.

She inexplicably felt a sense of... deepened understanding?

But...

Is it too late?

...

"What are you thinking?"

Someone tapped the back of her head.

She looked up.

"Nothing..."

It was Bell Tong, holding a cup of mango juice and sitting beside her.

"Do you want some?"

Saying that, she handed her the juice.

"..."

She took the juice and took a sip.

"I really want to have a boyfriend."

Bell Tong rested her chin on her hand and suddenly said.

"Oh..."

Raina Nan was speechless, just looking at her from the side.

...

"Rain, Rain"

Perhaps thinking that her calm reaction was too boring, Bell Tong tilted her head and looked at her.

"What kind of man do you think suits me?"

"..."

Raina Nan fell silent, looking at her suspiciously, thinking for a moment before speaking:

"Are you serious...?"

"Of course, why would I be joking?"

"Is that so..."

She looked at her sideways in disbelief, half for a while, and then spoke softly.

"Well... for Xiao Ling..."

"Xiao Yu, you're here!"

At this moment, Roxie Lin walked over and sat beside her.

"It's you who disappeared, where did you go?"

Come to think of it, she hasn't seen her for a while.

"Just went out for a moment..."

Roxie Lin smiled bitterly and scratched her cheek.

"Is that so?"

"Yeah... by the way,"

As if suddenly remembering something, she took out her phone from her bag.

"I almost forgot to take a photo with Xiao Yu~"

"We haven't taken enough photos together, no need to make a special effort..."

"It's different this time~"

She said while carefully playing with her phone.

"..."

The last time

Wanting to capture the youthful and inexperienced look on her face as a high school student.

The future is promising

But who can guarantee... where the future "self" will be?

"Phew..."

At this moment, Bell Tong suddenly stood up.

"I'll go first."

She said and prepared to leave.

"Huh?"

Raina Nan looked up at her.

"Where are you going?"

"..."

She didn't say anything, remained silent, glanced at Roxie Lin who had been playing with her phone, and after a while, turned her head and whispered,

"Do I have to be in the same frame with that know-it-all idiot... or forget it.""......?"

Raina Nan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Roxie Lin.

"......"

She seemed to have no reaction, as if she hadn't heard anything, still looking down at her phone screen.

"What's going on with you guys..."

"Ugh, so annoying~"

Roxie Lin interrupted Raina Nan's words, smiled lightly, and spoke softly.

"From the beginning, I just wanted to take a selfie with Xiaoyu~ But it seems like someone misunderstood~"

She didn't seem to have any intention of backing down, and slightly lowered her voice:

"To be honest, it's really troublesome."

"......"

Raina Nan was surprised and stayed there. When did Roxie Lin, who was always timid, dare to talk to Bell Tong like this?

"Tsk..."

Bell Tong clicked her tongue, didn't even look at her again, and walked outside.

"......"

Only the two of them were left sitting there.

"Well, let's do this~"

After a long time, Roxie Lin smiled again and raised her phone.

"Yuexi, are you guys fighting?"

She turned her head and looked at her.

"......"

Roxie Lin was stunned, a moment of dimness flashed in her eyes.

But it was only a moment...

The next second, a smile appeared on her face again.

"We fight every day, it's not the first time~"

"Really...?"

Raina Nan looked at her suspiciously.

"Yeah~"

...

...

"Excuse me, sir..."

The waiter walked up to him, smiled apologetically, and pointed to the wall.

He looked up.

Only then did he notice the clear business hours posted on the wall of the coffee shop: 8 am to 1 am.

Glancing at the time, it was already 1 am.

"Sorry..."

He finally finished his last sip of coffee, stood up, and walked towards the exit.

...

Although it was already this late, the various late-night snacks and hot pot restaurants in the distance showed no signs of closing.

The noisy sounds of clinking glasses could be heard from afar.

He took out his phone and looked at the screen.

He had agreed with Raina Nan to pick her up after the gathering.

But she only told him the location of the gathering, and wasn't sure when it would end.

He could only find a nearby cafe and wait.

It was already 1 am, but he still hadn't received her call.

No one answered when he called William Wei either. Did that guy get drunk and pass out...

"I told you not to drink so much~"

"Hurry up! Take a picture of her like this!"

"I'm not drunk, hehe~"

There were occasionally a few drunk people stumbling by on the street.

Both males and females, and some of them were even wearing Raina Nan's school uniform upon closer inspection.

"Haha, found a little brother~"

At this moment, three or four girls staggered toward him.

"Hey~~ little brother, can you send me home?"

Saying that, she hugged his arm.

"......"

He didn't say a word, sighed, and helped the girl onto a bench by the street.

As he turned to leave, one of the girls mumbled again:

"Little brother, I don't want to go home today~ Can you take me somewhere?"

"Haha, you're serious, huh~"

"......"

Do high school students really look like this when they're drunk? It's really sad to see...

He swallowed, feeling a sense of uneasiness for no reason.

He looked up.

The gathering location was not far ahead, so he decided to go and take a look.

With that in mind, he turned and walked towards the front.

...

...

Walking all the way along the riverside road.

The already stuffy air was mixed with a faint smell of the river, blowing past his ears.

...

Along the river, there were street lamps shining.

A petite girl leaned against the railing, standing there.

Silent, looking at the dark and empty river surface below.Samson Nan paced by, walking past her.

As he got closer, he stopped his steps.

"Bell Tong?"

Despite not seeing her face, he could barely recognize her in the dim light.

"..."

The girl trembled slightly upon hearing his voice.

But she didn't turn around.

"..."

After a short pause, she suddenly turned her head in the opposite direction, trying to escape.

"Wait!"

Samson Nan reached out and grabbed her wrist.

She turned around.

The flickering light fell on her face, making the tears on it even clearer.

"What happened to you?"

He was probably startled as well, loosening his grip a little.

"Let go!!"

Bell Tong broke free from his hand, turning around.

Then she wiped her face with her palm in a messy manner.

Although this would only make her already teary face even messier...

"Why are you crying alone here?"

"Am I crying? Did you see me cry?!"

She was aggressive, refusing to admit.

"..."

Come to think of it, he had never seen Bell Tong cry so much...

What could have happened to make her like this? He couldn't think of it for a moment.

"What are you looking at?"

"Can't I just take a look?"

"You're annoying..."

"I'm afraid you'll jump from here."

"Huh? Who would jump?!"

"Then why are you crying?"

"..."

She swallowed, avoiding eye contact.

Muttering to herself,

"What's the use of talking..."

"Is that so?"

He glanced at her.

He never asked about things that others didn't want to say.

"If you encounter any trouble..."

But this time, he couldn't resist saying more.

As he spoke, he walked past her.

"Just tell me, got it?"

"..."

Bell Tong stared at his back, her mouth slightly open.

A moment of silence.

"Why are you acting so cool, idiot..."

"Huh? Say it again?!"

"I don't feel like talking to you, I'm leaving!"

She hurried her steps and walked in front of him.

"Going home?"

"Obviously."

"Then just take a taxi directly home, stop wandering outside!"

"Mind your own business..."

"..."

He was speechless, standing there and watching her.

Although her words were full of aggression.

But there was no hint of anger in his deep pupils.

This made her inexplicably annoyed.

"..."

After taking a few steps, she stopped again.

Turning her back to him.

"Yuyu, she..."

After thinking for a moment, she spoke in a low voice.

"Is still waiting for you."

"Oh! I almost forgot about this!"

Only then did he slap his forehead, taking out his phone and seeing several missed calls.

In a flurry, he hurriedly rushed forward.

"..."

Bell Tong stood in silence, still in place.

After a while, she turned around and walked away.
