“It’s too windy now, so I’ll send you back.” Charlie had already stood up. He then took off his coat and put it on me.My head was still in a daze because of Dylan, and I did not even have the time to think. After being stunned for a few seconds, I replied, “Sure.”Charlie asked if I could still walk.Even if I could not, I still had to say that I could. Otherwise, would he have to carry me?We walked for a while and finally arrived downstairs. I immediately saw that Dylan was leaning at the edge of the flower bed while smoking. He raised his head and looked at me mischievously.I felt chills in my heart. Why did I feel like I was having an affair?“He’s my cousin,” I explained to Charlie.Charlie’s smile froze for a moment. After a few seconds, he handed my purse to me. “Do you need me to send you upstairs?”“There’s no need.” I quickly rejected Charlie because I did not know when Dylan, that ticking time bomb, would explode.“Mhm. Be careful when you bathe later at night. Do

When I arrived back home at night, I planned on sending Charlie a text to explain it to him.However, I held my phone for a long time and did not know where to start, so I ended up not texting him.I leaned on the couch in the living room, wanting to check if Dylan had started tidying up.It turned out that he had not started.After thinking about a lot of things all night in a daze, I finally understood one thing. I could not bear to see him leave.The next morning, I woke up early and planned on sending Dylan off. However, my dad said, “You woke up too late. His plane took off long ago.I stood there in a daze, and my heart felt empty.“My boss came to pick Dylan up personally in the morning,” my dad said with tears in his eyes.“Oh, I see.”“When Dylan left, he even asked us not to wake you up. The kid doesn't look the part, but he's very attentive. He knows that you're not a morning person." My mother smiled mischievously.“Don’t even think about it. If you want such a ha

When I said those words, I finally felt a little better.From then on, Charlie and I became good friends.Putting aside the fact that we were blind date partners, I found that Charlie and I got along more harmoniously, and we no longer restrained ourselves.Moreover, we had the same hobbies. Even the songs, movies, and actors we liked, and the places we wanted to go…As expected of someone from the same era. Our hobbies were quite similar.However, every time I was surprised at how similar we were, I would think of Dylan for some reason.It was as if there was more than a generation gap between me and Dylan, and I could not understand his behavior.I also wanted to send him a text through Facebook Messenger to ask him how he was doing, and to know if he had a girlfriend.However, on second thought, what did that have to do with me?With Dylan’s looks that could even attract bees and butterflies, it was hard for him to not have a girlfriend.Another half a year passed, and Cha

“Charlie is so useless…” Dylan paused for a moment before continuing, “I gave him a head start of half a year, but he still couldn’t become your boyfriend.”I was startled. What did he mean by giving Charlie a head start?“You’re drunk.” I did not know how to answer Dylan.“Just admit it.” Dylan said in a playful tone, “You like me… and I like you too.”‘I like you too…’I felt a buzz in my head and did not say anything.My brain stopped working. I do not know how this happened, and my heart started beating rapidly.“Say something!” The voice on the phone brought my thoughts back to reality.I still did not speak as I did not know how to answer.I think I like Dylan, but was he serious? There were still problems before us, so could we solve them?After a while, Dylan sighed. He lowered his voice to comfort me. “Can you say something?”It seemed like a century had passed, and my inner struggles were of no avail. I realized how moved I was when I heard Dylan’s confession and h

The moment I ran outside, my dad looked at me suspiciously. “What happened to your face?”I was so scared that my heart was shaking, and I tried to calm my breathing. “Allergies.”“Dust allergies?” My dad asked for more details.I felt like I was almost dying. “Maybe.”At this moment, my mom came back coincidentally.“What are you two doing here?” My mom was carrying big and small bags of vegetables. It felt as if she almost emptied the entire market. “Why are you two still not coming over to help out?”“I’m coming!” I was thankful to my mom for saving me from that dreadful situation. I hurriedly took the initiative to help.My mom was shocked and muttered, “There are 365 days in a year, but it's rare to find a day when you’re diligent. What big mistake have you made? Tell your mom first.”How could I be that lazy?“Did you lose money in stocks?”“No.” While picking the vegetables, I was tortured by my mom.“Did you get dumped by Charlie?”“I've never been in a relationship
