Chapter 17: Chapter 17

"Sit down."  She jerked her face toward the chair across from her.  I only use one word to describe her.  Haughty.  Too fancy.  After she waited for me to settle down and a glass of orange juice was served, she got to the point.  "I don't know what you like to drink, so I ordered it, but the little one, Myouin, likes orange juice!"

“Yes.” Myouin, Myouin, seemed to test my patience.  Knowing that me and that girl were love rivals, living in a relationship with each other, but also mentioned.  I sat down with a glass of orange juice.

"Why don't you drink?"  she asked.

"Ah, yes, I used to not drink or eat food that was ordered by others first, who knows if there is any medicine here?"  I tell you the exact reason.

“Haha, smart girl!  Quite the look of the successor to Sharon's corporation!"  What did she say?  Sharon is my aunt's real name.  But never mind, let it go, I don't care what nonsense she says.

"If you have something to say, please say it quickly, I don't have time to deal with you!"

“Okay, I will tell.  If it's the girl Myouin, she'd love to talk to me."

“If you call me out here to talk about Myouin, I'll leave first!  Hi!"  It is better to say that I am disrespectful than to sit there and listen to the story of a love rival.

"What's your urgent, I want to ask you the story you said at the plaza, is it true?"

Every day, like every other day, I had to carry my body to school and then see Simon again, I was bored and scared.  He just stood there, what was he doing?  Wait for me?  Free work.  I turned a blind eye and walked straight into the classroom.  He didn't say anything, just stood looking at me and then he went to class.

"Hey, did you two break up?"  Anne asked me in a sad voice.

“Um!”  I replied lightly.

"Unfortunately, such a beautiful love soon bloomed and fizzled out!"  After saying that, he plunged into the novel.  I sat there in silence, sad and sad.

"If you want to know, you can go and ask your son."

"It doesn't speak!"

“So sorry, bro.  I can't speak either!  Welcome back my uncle!"  I nodded slightly and pushed my chair up.  Turn around and walk out the door.  Tired of her useless words.

As soon as I pushed the door open, I met someone I shouldn't see - Myouin.  Why do I keep meeting one person after another.  Just hearing the name makes me feel bad.  I dodge people, go away.

Annoyed, out of interest in walking.  I took a taxi to go home.

The house is so empty today, there is no aunt or Leo, there are a few maids running in and out like a joke.  I went up to my room, lying on my back.  Learn, study, learn, love, love, love, hate, hate, hate.  Too complicated.

I shook my head to clear away the thoughts in my head, rolled over, rolled over, I hugged my pillow to sleep without realizing it.  When I woke up, it was seven o'clock at night.  My phone screen keeps flashing.  Looks like a missed call.

I opened it, it was Simon, I was about to dial again but those memories came rushing back and made my heart hurt so I stopped.  I delete those calls, it's better not to see them.

I have lost faith in him.  That's enough of a lie.

In the novel once said "in love, if you don't trust each other, there's no room for anything!"  I see that seems to be correct.  Even though I knew I was being lied to and his early morning explanations were fake, it was true that “I never stopped loving!”

Standing up, I went down to the canteen, it was still early to buy something to eat and play to ease my sadness.  As I passed the school's backyard, I saw Myouin standing and talking to a male student.  Not Simon, you look weird.  Look how terrible this baby is.

I looked at the two of them with a mocking smile and then left.  Why is my heart suddenly so light, the feeling that Myouin betrayed Simon is so comforting.  I feel that life is worth living and much more fun.

During class, I received the school's loudspeaker inviting me to the finance room.  I remember I never lacked money for this school's tuition for any semester.  Why are you still summoning?

I went down to see what it was that called me, with a wallet in hand, so I could close everything.

“Miss!  I'm Brittany, just now a school speaker called me down here, why?"  I asked the girl sitting in the room, I studied here for three years and I don't know her name at all.

“Someone gave me this bouquet of teddy bears and this gift box.”  She gave it to me.  Insert, the bouquet of teddy bears is huge.  The bears inside are so pretty too.  And this red velvet wrapped gift box, what is it?  I opened it, wow, was a necklace and a decent French brand watch.

"Who sent these?"  Silently ask my heart who is the millionaire, who brings these things.

"You don't know me anymore!"  I nodded and went to class, there were no cards here.  But what day is it today, why did I get a gift?  I passed Simon's class, he was laughing in class, but when he saw me, he stopped immediately.  His eyes were fixed on the bouquet of teddy bears and the velvet box.  Don't tell me he had an intention to rob him.  I hugged the gift and ran straight to class.

When I left, Anne kept whispering in my ear who gave it to me.  I answered a thousand times I don't know and it keeps asking.  Before going to the school gate, I realized a strange thing that the school gate is now crowded.

I went out with Anne to see what was going on, when I caught my eye was a shiny black Camry that was parked at the school gate defiantly.  The man standing with his arms crossed at the front of the car was equally unruly, his brown hair was messed up by the wind, his face exuded the cold expression of a successful man.  His glasses covered his eyes.  A very beautiful eye.  The white shirt and black casual pants accentuated his unmodified standard figure.

His fingers beat lightly on the top of the car, slow but rhythmic.  He straightened up and smiled when he saw me.  I also smile, smile happily.  He stretched out his arms, and I ran over and swooped in his lap.

"Brother!"  I buried my head in his chest, at this moment I felt strangely peaceful.  If I hadn't caught the angry look of Simon looking at me over there.

"Hello!"  Anne's son walked and bowed politely to him.  He just smiled and nodded.

“How are you?”  He asked me.  I nodded, tears rolling down my cheeks, I was so happy.

He grabbed my hand defiantly and pushed me into the car.  Saying push, but he was very gentle, fasten my seat belt and then he returned to the driver's seat.  Sitting in the car, my eyes went to Simon, who was asking something to Anne's son.  But I saw this one shaking its head wildly.

"Did you get the present?"  He asked me when the car was out of school.

“Then you!  Is it yours?"  I replied laughing.

“Um, do you like it?”

"Yes, but what day is it?"

“February 26”

"What day is it?"  I asked stupid.

"It's my birthday!  I'll take you out to eat today!  OK?"

"Bear!"  He looked at me and smiled affectionately, his dimples deepened very cool.  We were silent all the way to the restaurant.  Today you covered a whole floor to celebrate my birthday.  There are cakes, music, wine, food, …

We happily sat down to have dinner together by romantic candlelight.  He understands what I mean, he never forgets what I like and don't like.  He is really a good man.  He gently wiped my mouth with a tissue.  Very gentle.

“Can I play a piece on the Harp?”  he suddenly asked.  I just nodded.  As soon as I nodded, I was forced to go to the stage, where the harp was prepared.  I took my seat and started the first notes of Sky City.  The music is loud, not fast, not slow, not happy, not sad.  This song gives people many different emotions.  After playing the song, the whole floor clapped.  All are service staff and you.

I smiled down, he came to hold my hand.

“I played well!  Shall we go home?"  he asked.

“Yes” I nodded.

He took my hand and walked out of the restaurant, it was already dusk for me.  He drove me home.  When I got off the car, I still felt a little nostalgic for the moment I was with him.  It's been a long time since I've seen him, only he gives me a sense of peace when I'm with him.

He got out of the car, stood in front of me, looked at me and smiled.

“See you again!”  I nodded sadly.

"When will I see you again?"  I ask.

“If you want, I will come pick you up every afternoon!  Is that Okay?"

“Okay, of course you can!”  I nodded and hugged him.  He hugs me too.

"Come on, let's go home baby, see you tomorrow!"  He leaned down and kissed me lightly on the forehead.  He is still the same, always saying goodbye to me in this way.  Simon also said goodbye to me in this way, but he was different from you.  He gives this kiss everywhere but I don't.

Going to school today was the scariest day of my twelve years at school.  The girls say I fish with two hands.  There is Simon but also se sua handsome boy.  The boys hate it.  But that doesn't matter, what matters is Simon's feelings.

As soon as I got to class, I was stopped by him.  Drag me to the back garden.  His face tells me that this relationship is very tense.

"Let go of me, Simon!"  I struggled to get away but couldn't.  When he got there, he jerked his hand, causing me to lose my balance and rush towards the opposite stone bench.  I rub my wrist, it's all red.

"Who?"  What?  Who what?  Is he prolific?

"Who?"  I asked again.

"Who was the person you went with yesterday?"  He scribbled every word.  The sound that came out was horrible.

"What does it have to do with who you are?"  I purposely made fun of him.

"How long have you known?"

"Already!"

"Who is he?

"Why should I say it?"

"I asked you who he is?"  He shouted.  Fortunately, this is the backyard, this place is relatively deserted, few people pass by.

"Are you jealous?"  I asked him.

“Yes, I'm jealous, I'm jealous, I can't stand the way you look at him, the way you hold him.  All those things, all those things you never did to me!  Britt, I tell you, you're mine!  If you don't remember this, don't blame me, I'll make you remember it.  Where is he better than you?  You say, rich, handsome, fame, money, he has it, I have enough!  What does he have that you don't have?"  He grabbed my shoulder and pressed it against the arm of the chair.  Pain is felt throughout the body.

“He has a tenderness that I don't have, he loves you unconditionally that I don't have.  He didn't hurt me like he did and is doing.  He didn't hurt me.  He didn't lie to me.  He is good to me in every way.  He remembers my birthday.  He knows what I like and don't like.  You don't have all these things!"  I sobbed choking.  My tears poured out.  His arm loosened and then let go.  “All that you don't have but I still love you unconditionally, you took a part of my life at the age of seventeen but I have no complaints.  I still love you, love you more, but until I know you cheated on me!"  I stood up, wiping my tears.  He came closer and hugged me.

"I'm sorry!  You are wrong!"  I pushed him away.

"Don't cause trouble and apologize, I don't blame you.  I'd rather you don't lie to me, I'd rather you don't hide from me, I'd…better you…then everything wouldn't turn out like that!”  I turned to go back to class.

"You love him more than me?"  He shouted.  I continued silently.  Tears still fall.  Don't talk like that Simon, how can I love anyone more than you.  You really don't understand me at all.  You're an idiot.

“Britt!  You are mine!"  He shouted again.  I felt happy because of that statement, but my heart skipped a beat.  What if he yelled at Myouin like that?  So, I'm not your only one.

"True love is not far, the furthest is distance."  I remembered that line from a novel I once read.  Now, there was a distance between me and Simon.  That is the third person distance.

I went to class, put my head on the desk and cried.  There were a few whispers around.

“Britt, don't cry!  You cry, your heart is broken!”  I looked up, a boy with a smile as gentle as the morning sun was looking at me.  Hand holding paper towel.  This friend is Terasaka, who has had a crush on me for three years.  As time goes on I love Simon nonstop.

"Thanks!"  I received the tissue from that friend's hand.  Tried to smile, but couldn't.
