2 Aurelia's Confession

Alvin admired her for a moment.

It was not every day that he could enjoy the view while sipping coffee in the middle of a busy afternoon.

But out of politeness, Alvin lowered his head after a few seconds.

He was going to change his position and try to find a full-length window that reflected light. This was so that he could 'politely' peek at the beautiful lady.

However at this moment, he didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt like someone or something was watching him.

That sensation was very strong, causing Alvin to frown and twist his neck to look around.

Then, Alvin realized that this feeling came from the floor-length window beside him.

He looked at the floor-length window.

In the window, he saw the beautiful lady's face.

Her face was facing the table but her eyes were not staring at the magazine. Instead, they were slanted to the side and looking in the direction of the floor-length window.

Their eyes met through the reflection of the window.

Two seconds later, Alvin retracted his gaze and took a deep breath.

He felt as if he had experienced a blissful moment. Being able to experience such an encounter in a cafe made him feel better.

However, he was not a greedy person. Being able to make eye contact once with such a beautiful woman was enough for him.

After all, in today's society, such a beautiful woman would not be in the same world as him. His salary was not high enough. 

While he was happy, Alvin suddenly became a little wary.

When he was in school, he understood that when a beautiful girl took the initiative to talk to him, it was most likely because she wanted to copy the exam answers.

If not then she enjoyed the feeling of being pursued by others. Hence, she would occasionally throw a few flirtatious glances at him.

That was the case when he was a student, and it got worse when he became an adult. There was a lot of pretense going on in relationships. Whoever was serious in that relationship would lose.

When Alvin thought of this, he had already completely calmed down. He casually took out a magazine and was ready to pass his last ten minutes of break time.

"Hehehehehe..."

Alvin suddenly heard a burst of laughter.

Then, the beautiful lady suddenly stood up and sat down on the leather chair in front of him.

The fragrance of women's shampoo accompanied the beautiful lady's crisp voice.

"Hey, Alvin! Let me guess what you were thinking earlier... 'Oh, this beauty must be a gold digger pretending to be pure and innocent', right?"

"Hahaha, Alvin, you are as cute as ever."

...

Alvin was stunned after hearing her call his name so familiarly.

How did this beautiful stranger know his name?

Alvin lowered his head to take a look, making sure that he was not wearing his employee identification card.

"Don't look for it anymore, Alvin. Your employee identification card is in your left hip pocket. You are used to putting it there because you said that your right hip is big, so it will break the card if you place it on your right side."

Alvin frowned. He didn't need to confirm it because he really did put his card there when he was resting.

The pretty lady was right. It was as though she could read his mind.

"Also, Alvin, why didn't you reply to my messages? I saw you take out your phone earlier."

Hearing this, Alvin was relieved and voiced his guess, "You're Aurelia?"

"That's right! I am the said beautiful girl, Aurelia!"

Alvin was silent for a moment.

He had a lot of questions to ask, but he did not know where to start.

Firstly, how did Aurelia know him?

He was sure that he had absolutely no contact with Aurelia. After all, he would never forget a beautiful woman after meeting her once.

That meant that if they had met, he had not noticed Aurelia at that time. Furthermore, Aurelia had seen him and even gotten his contact information.

Then there was the second question. Why did Aurelia like him so much?

Alvin looked at her again. He was sure that with Aurelia's beauty, she could become an Internet celebrity tomorrow if she wanted to. There were plenty of agencies who would be willing to promote her.

If not, then with the confidence brought by her looks, Aurelia should also pursue handsome men of the same level as her. She should not be going after a workaholic like him, who could be found everywhere.

"You..."

Alvin was about to say something when he saw Aurelia's index finger positioned upright in front of the two of them.

"Don't say anything first. Listen to what I'm about to tell you."

When Aurelia said this, she looked left and right. Then, she lowered her voice and said, "Actually, I'm from the future."

"I was reincarnated."

"One year later, we will meet by coincidence and fall in love very quickly. We will spend four sweet years together. Five years later, we would hold a wedding on a piece of ruins."

"So to be precise, you are my husband."

"Now that I have been reincarnated, the time has returned to five years ago for me, when we did not know each other yet."

"I put on your favorite makeup and your second favorite outfit today... Of course, I also brought your favorite outfit. However, this is a public area, so it's not very convenient for me to wear it."

"Ah, what I meant was...Alvin, let's date. I can't wait anymore. After I was reincarnated, I felt so sad every day without you by my side..."

"Hmm? Alvin? What are you doing?"

Alvin opened his phone and replied, "I'm checking if the city's mental hospital has issued a missing person notice."

When Alvin heard the first sentence, he felt that something was wrong.

In today's world, society believed in science. Thus, one had to be reasonably logical.

He did not believe Aurelia's story at all.

He also thought that Aurelia was most likely a lunatic who ran out of a mental hospital and used some unknown method to investigate him.

And now, she showed up here to make a joke out of him.

Therefore, Alvin stretched out his hand very seriously.

"I'm sorry, Madam. I don't know what you're talking about. Out of a gentleman's spirit, I can help you call an ambulance to the hospital. You can discuss the matter of 'reincarnation' with the doctor instead of joking around with me."

Aurelia's smile gradually faded.

Alvin was also prepared to take action at this moment. If she suddenly went berserk and hurt people, he would get up and run.

After a long silence, Aurelia lowered her head. Her long hair covered her face.

"Then... then how about this?"

Aurelia suddenly raised her head, and her eyes flashed. She said, "Just pretend that I didn't say anything earlier. I'm confessing to you as a stranger."

"My name is Aurelia. I like you. Would you be my boyfriend?"

Aurelia was probably unable to control her emotions. Her voice was a little loud. This immediately attracted the attention of the others in the cafe.

At the same time, Alvin also gave an answer that he had long prepared.
