Chapter 142 Fool, You're the One (1)
Norah quickly wiped away the tears on her face and said, "It's nothing. I just thought about some things
from the past and felt a bit emotional."
"It's okay. I'm already fine," she said, trying hard to put on a smile to hide her true feelings.
"Really? Are you not lying to me? What makes you so sad when you think about it? Can you tell me?" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Shawn naturally had his doubts.
"Just some old things. It's better not to mention them. Oh, by the way, didn't we say we were going to
have dinner? I only had a little for lunch, and I'm actually quite hungry now."
"Okay, where do you want to eat?" Shawn asked.
"On the street outside of No.1 Middle School." Norah said almost without thinking.
She had decided on this place long ago.
Originally, she thought that if she ever went back there with him one day, she would go back with
beautiful memories. But now, everything was filled with sadness and sorrow.
Forget it. This was for the best.
Their relationship would end where it had begun.
At least they started and ended their relationship in a good way. It was not too awkward.
But Shawn was particularly surprised and curious, asking, "You seem to have a special attachment to
No.1 Middle School."
"Really?" Norah smiled and did not explain.
In summer, the sky always got dark late. When they arrived at No.1 Middle School, the sky was still
bright, and the sun was bending in the west.
A large swath of radiant clouds appeared in the sky, orange, reddish-orange, and deep red... Various
shades of red spread across the sky, forming a beautiful ink painting. It was truly stunning.
The horizon was filled with rosy light.
Norah looked up with joy, the afterglow of the sunset falling on her oval face, making her look even
gentler and prettier.
"It's so beautiful!"
The gentle breeze blew.
Everything was so wonderful, but her heart was as heavy as lead.
In the end, since everything started here, just let it end here.
"Shawn, have you been back here after graduating?" Norah asked.
He shook his head. "I haven't had time to come back since graduating, except for the time I came with
you."
"What's wrong? Do you often come here?"
Norah nodded. "Yes, I come here every year, sometimes three or four times a year. At least I would
come back once a year."
"Why?"
Norah smiled and looked at Shawn. At that moment, she was facing the wind, smiling like a child,
youthful, lively, and flawless.
She said, "Because I'm filled with nostalgia for the past. I spent my best and happiest years of my
youth here."
So, how could she not miss it?
Her best and happiest years?
At that moment, the first thought that came to Shawn's mind was "him", the man whom she had loved
for ten years in her heart.
"Is it..." Shawn spoke.
But he hesitated before he could finish the question.
He admitted that he was scared and timid.
He was afraid to hear her answer and even more afraid of an affirmative answer.
If that was the case, he would go crazy with jealousy.
For now, he would continue to deceive himself. As long as she didn't say the answer, he could pretend
not to know anything and continue to lie to himself.
At least it wouldn't hurt so much.
"What do you want to eat?" Shawn changed the subject.
Norah pointed to a noodle restaurant across the street. "I want to eat noodles. What about you?"
"I'll have what you're having."
"Okay."
They arrived at the noodle restaurant together. Since it was mealtime, there were quite a few people
inside. But fortunately, the place and table were large enough to give a spacious feeling despite the
crowd.
They found a spot by the window and Norah sat down.
The waiter quickly brought the menu. He was too busy, so he hurriedly placed it on the table and left.
"Take a look first and let me know when you're ready to order," the waiter said before rushing off to
another table.
Norah nodded. "Okay, thanks."
That was normal for a small restaurant like this. They couldn't provide the same level of thoughtful
service as a big restaurant.
But it was cheap, so the business was good near the school.
"I want tomato-flavored noodles. What about you?" Norah asked.
"I'll have the same."
Norah was taken aback. At that moment, a girl's voice from a nearby table could be heard pleading in a
soft and cute tone, "No, I want spicy noodles. I don't like the plain flavor."
"Okay, I promise to only eat spicy noodles this time. Next time, I'll follow your words and eat something
lighter," the girl said, blinking her eyes and making cute gestures.
She was really adorable.
Norah listened and smiled faintly.
It was truly sweet love between a young couple. It was so heartwarming.
Although she had been married for two years, she didn't find it annoying at all. Instead, she found it
cute and sweet.
Yes, the girl could act like a spoiled child as she wanted, while her boyfriend doted on her. That was
what love was all about.
If love didn't have a bit of acting cute, a bit of throwing a tantrum, a bit of sweetness, and a bit of
impulsiveness, then how could it be called love?
Norah was very envious.
Unfortunately, she was no longer young and impulsive.
It seemed as if her heart had been worn down. There was no more cuteness or sweetness, nor passion
or impulsiveness.
Therefore, her envy grew stronger.
Watching them, Norah seemed to have returned to her school days at that moment.
Love was so simple back then, and the things she wanted were very pure.
Looking at Shawn again, she suddenly summoned her courage to say, "Since we have the same flavor,
do you want to share a large bowl with me?"
"Sure."
Afraid that he would misunderstand, Norah explained, "Their large serving doesn't come in separate
bowls. Two people use two pairs of chopsticks to eat one serving of rice noodles."
"Okay, one large serving." Shawn repeated.
His words were simple but clear and firm.
"Hey, we want a large serving of tomato-flavored rice noodles." Norah waved her hand and placed the
order.
Soon, the rice noodles were served. It was a full large serving, steaming hot, with vegetables and some
tofu on top. It looked and smelled delicious.
Two pairs of chopsticks were placed on the table, and they almost put their chopsticks into the bowl at
the same time.
Norah picked up some vegetables, while Shawn picked up a fish ball. However, as they lifted their
chopsticks, they realized that the two pairs of chopsticks had crossed and intertwined with each other.
At that moment, they both looked up.
Through the steam, their eyes met, and their faces becoming blurry and dreamy.
At that moment, they both seemed to hear their own heartbeats pounding rapidly and passionately.
Clearly, they had feelings for each other!
However, they both tried to hide it, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor.
"You eat first." Shawn made a concession.
Norah picked up some vegetables with her chopsticks, and only then did he pick up the fish ball.
As Shawn lowered his head to eat the fish ball, Norah looked at him and suddenly froze. Then her
heart beat violently.
It had been ten years.
She didn't expect that her wish back then would actually come true.
Although it was too late and everything had already changed, she was quite happy that it came true.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that she hadn't eaten and seemed to be lost in thought, Shawn lifted his head
and asked.
