Chapter １７

[Alex perspective]

"This dress is not good-looking, this one is simple, what kind of clothes is this?"

I can’t find something that could satisfy me.

After three hours of struggle, it seemed that the appointed time was coming soon.

I bit my teeth.

He cruelly picked the best clothes that He didn't want to wear in ordinary times.

I just put on a coat and ran.

The road to Baiqiao South was smooth and there was no big problem.

Except for a little traffic.

However, it is normal. During the rainy season, the lights and horns of cars together formed a wonderful movement.

The rain was ticking—

Bridge has a wide field of vision, but there is no shade.

I went to the south and looked around, but I couldn’t find him.

"He isn’t the type of person to arrive late”

“Why hasn't he arrived yet? "

I had some doubts and a bad feeling in my heart.

"Forget it, maybe he’s still angry at me,it’s totally acceptable if he won’t come."

I consoled myself.

Ten minutes later, he hasn't arrived yet at the appointed time.

But nothing appeared on the road.

“Charlie isn’t the type of person to be late. He is always on time when I work with him.”

"He may have been stucked by the traffic on the road."

I looked at the lights in the distance and thought.

"When you arrive, I will definitely tell you that there are beautiful lights here."

Half an hour later, there was still no sign of Charlie on the road.

"Meow ~”

A cat caught my attention in a daze, and a beautiful orange cat squatted on the sidewalk, rubbing his trouser that was full of dirt because of the rain splashed.

"The cat is so cute."

I stretched out my hand and scratched its chin, and my mood seemed to be better and calmer.

"Why doesn't this little cat go home?"

"Meow ~ Meow ~"

I stooped down and and held the cat into my arms.

"You are so smart!"

I took a jerky and gave it to the cat

"Eat, I have this one."

I held the cat in my hands and watched it chew the meat bit by bit and licked its claws contentedly.

After a long time, it broke free from my arms and jumped to the ground.

"Meow ~"

"Are you going home?”

“go. "

I patted it on the head.

"I have to wait for someone ..."

Suddenly, the brightness turned pale.

"Why are the lights turned off?"I looked at the lamp that went out in the distance and looked at my cell phone. It’s 1: 20 AM.

It turns out it’s already so late. I have been waiting for nearly four hours.

The heavy rain dropped on my face, which made me look at the sky.

It will rain soon, but Charlie hasn't come.

I smiled a self-deprecating smile.

Different thoughts are coming in my mind.

"Don't be silly, Alex, what are you doing?”

“What is he?”

Why are you wasting your time here? "

I wiped the water marks on my face, but I don’'t know whether it was the rain or my tears.

"You will only hold him back. People can't wait to deny you. Are you still waiting for people to come to you?"

"How dare you expect?”

“Alex, what makes you do this to yourself? ! "

"Charlie really doesn’t care about you! "

I looked at the few lights in the distance. I feel like I couldn't breathe.

There was no familiar heartbeat.

"It turns out that you won't feel sadness when I leave."

"What are those care and concerns you’ve shown before?”

“Is it just my wishful thinking? "
