He asked.
Yes, he couldn't help it and asked.
"What?" Norah raised her head. Feeling a bit confused by Shawn's sudden question, she looked at him
with puzzlement.
"You said that you spent your best and happiest years here, so? Is it because of him? The man who
you've loved for ten years?" He gathered his courage and asked, no longer restraining himself.
After realizing what he meant, Norah turned around. Her bright eyes blinked lightly as she looked at
Shawn and asked softly, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Yes, the truth." Shawn nodded.
Norah also nodded. "Yes, you're right. It's because of him."
It was just because of him. What other reason could it be?
He was such a fool. That man was him! He was right before her eyes.
Although Shawn had expected this answer, he still felt a tightness in his heart when he heard her say it
and admit it herself.
He felt like his neck was pinched by something, and it was difficult for him to breathe.
"Can you tell me about him?" Suppressing the intense bitterness in his heart, Shawn asked softly.
Norah raised her head and looked at him with particularly clear eyes. "Do you want to hear?"
"Yes, I want to."
After hesitating for a moment, Norah brushed her windblown hair and walked forward.
Shawn followed her.
In the end, Norah stopped at a certain place, looked around, and nodded. "Okay, I'll tell you about him."
"I met him for the first time on this campus, on this playground. It's been so many years, and almost
everything in this school has changed, but this playground is still exactly the same as before."
"That year, I was a freshman in high school and just started military training. I remember I stood in this
position. It was a particularly sunny day, and the weather was particularly hot. I didn't feel very well and
suddenly fainted while standing in attention."
"Later, he rushed over.
When we went to the school clinic, I could feel someone holding me while I was in a daze.
He held me and ran desperately all the way to the clinic.
The distance from the playground to the clinic was actually quite far, but he carried me all the way
without stopping, holding me tightly until we arrived at the clinic.
Although it was very hot that day, I felt that his embrace was very cool and had a calming effect.
When I woke up in the clinic, I saw an empty seat next to me, but he had already left.
How should I put it? I felt a little lost at that time.
I felt that he had saved me, but I hadn't even seen him.
Just when I thought he had already left, suddenly, he came out with a hot water bottle and a thermos,
handed them to me, and told me to have a good rest.
At that time, my face suddenly turned red because those days happened to be my menstrual period.
Later, I learned from the doctor that I fainted because of the intense training during my menstrual
period.
I thanked him, but he just responded and left.
I didn't even have the time to ask his name."
After finishing her story, Norah felt a deep sense of melancholy.
Many times, when she thought of that day, she felt that everything was arranged by fate.
During military training, the school had arranged for a logistics support team, but too many students
had accidents that day, and the entire logistics support team was not enough.
Later, she heard from a classmate that he heard the cries for help and commotion while passing by the
road outside the playground, and he rushed over on his own, saying that he would safely escort her to
the infirmary. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
If the timing had not aligned at any point, she might never have met him.
She wouldn't have fallen in love with him so stubbornly at first sight.
Sometimes when fate arranged something, one could never avoid it.
Their encounter was not as grand and unforgettable as she thought, but it remained in her memory for
ten years.
So how deeply did she love that man?
Shawn felt that a vine was tightly entwined around his chest, hurting and tightening her.
He wanted to struggle, but the more he struggled, the more it hurt.
"What happened then? Did you know his name?" He asked, suppressing his heartache.
Norah nodded and smiled. "Yes! In a speech given by an outstanding senior in high school, he stood
on the podium and spoke. I recognized him at a glance. At that time, I knew his name and that he was
a senior high school student."
"I also found out that he was very outstanding. He not only had great academic performance but was
also very popular, especially among girls."
"You know what? He is like a brilliant star that I accidentally saw, shining brightly and dazzling, but..."
Norah's voice lowered. "At that time, he didn't remember me at all."
"After knowing that his academic performance was excellent, I studied harder. I tried my best, just
hoping to be as outstanding as him one day and go to the same school so that I could still see him and
think of him."
"Even if he didn't know me, I felt so happy. I didn't want much, and my wish was simple. As long as I
could see him, I would be satisfied."
Norah spoke and had a soft smile in the gentle night breeze.
They eventually ended up with a "divorce" after ten years.
But recalling those memories, especially that period of youth when she had tried her best to get close
to him recklessly, she still felt that it was wonderful.
Not all crushes were bitter. At least during the year in high school, this crush brought her a lot of
sweetness.
When she studied hard and felt tired, she just needed to look at him, and she would immediately feel
energized.
Sometimes, even if she just saw him from afar, she could be happy for a long time.
When the happiness disappeared, she would secretly go to see him again.
"At that time, I studied very hard and almost stayed up late every day, except for one time. Every time
the teacher called for a lunch break, I rushed out desperately. Do you know why?"
Shawn shook his head, feeling extremely bitter in his heart. "I don't know."
"Because..." Norah smiled and answered foolishly, "Because senior high school students were the first
to eat lunch. His classroom was on the second floor, and mine was on the fourth floor. If I rushed there
early enough and he finished his morning class a bit late, I could see him from the stairs."
"When eating, he was always in the first line, and I was always in the line next to him, so I could see
him from afar."
"But this kind of situation was rare and depended on luck because the dismissal time of the first year
and the third year of high school differed by several minutes. Many times, when we just left the
classroom, they had already finished eating. In a month, I could only see him two or three times at
most."
"But I was..." She wanted to say that she was satisfied.
Before Norah finished her last few words, she suddenly realized that Shawn had turned around and
walked away.
Yes, he couldn't force himself to listen to her sweet and happy memories anymore.
He straightened his body and walked forward alone, proud and lonely.
For some reason, at that moment, she seemed to see the loneliness and sadness in his back.
Norah looked at his back and suddenly gathered all her courage to shout, "Shawn, do you want to
know who he is?"
