Chapter 1138 - 1135: I’m Relieved That You’re Not Doing Well (Part 1)

His companions were greatly surprised to see him suddenly chasing after a foreign girl. However, Wan Donglin could no longer care about their gazes, because he clearly saw that the woman with the backpack had already melted into the vast sea of people.

This scene, so vivid.

Just like back in the day at C University, when she finally resumed her studies, she hurried to and fro every day with a large backpack, her long hair brushing against her face, wearing a shirt and jeans, making it hard to see her true appearance. Her way of carrying the backpack was always like that, holding it with her right hand and slinging it over her right shoulder, just like a worker carrying a sack... Even though it was such a distant memory, he recalled it so clearly, exactly as it was, as if he had "occasionally" dropped by the school to check on her back then.

A meeting by chance in name, but in truth, it was because he feared Huang Xiaojue would come to find her again, or that she would be flirting with another guy.

To his relief, back then he never once "caught" such an inappropriate scene.

Just like now, he chased after her, but in the blink of an eye, somehow that figure disappeared.

At the street corner, the red and green lights intertwined as crowds of people passed by. He panicked and disregarded the red light, rushing across like the wind, grabbing hold of the woman with the large travel bag.

The woman suddenly turned around.

Her blonde hair, but her eyes were brown, glaring at Wan Donglin with obvious anger, speaking in flawless English: "What are you doing?"

Wan Donglin was stunned, awkwardly taking a step back.

Clearly, this person wasn’t Yan Xixi, as she had very distinct strong body odor characteristics. She stared intently at this man from A Country, her anger intensifying.

"What are you doing? I’m going to call the police..."

Wan Donglin apologized repeatedly, "I’m sorry, I mistook you for someone else, I’m very sorry..."

She glared at him once more and turned to leave.

This time, Wan Donglin saw clearly that the way she carried her backpack was wrong—she was using her left hand to carry it, Yan Xixi never carried it this way.

Moreover, this woman’s height was slightly shorter than the one he had seen before.

He suddenly caught up, "Miss, excuse me..."

The beauty was thoroughly enraged, "What exactly do you want?"

He was extremely polite, "Miss, may I ask if you had any turkey earlier?"

The beauty looked at him as if he were insane.

Wan Donglin’s gaze fell on her hand, which was slightly rough but had no trace of turkey grease.

This time, without waiting for her response, he quickly apologized, "Mistaken identity... I’m very sorry, it was truly a mistake..."

The beauty strode away briskly.

At that moment, the green light appeared again, leaving only Wan Donglin standing beside, watching blankly as the shadows of people across the way became increasingly blurred.

There were quite a few people with backpacks, but not a single one was Yan Xixi.

Just like her first year at South Country University, waiting for his call, yet he never called. Just as she was about to lose hope, he rushed there on New Year’s Eve.

At that moment, all the grievances vanished into thin air.

During their time together, he liked creating this kind of surprise, once believing that moderate "surprises" would bring unexpected romance and tenderness, enhancing their feelings.

Only now did he understand that no kind of "surprise" could surpass everlasting togetherness.

Distance does not deepen feelings between each other; only mutual care will see a couple grow old together.

This is why countless couples living apart have major problems, drifting into strangers.

Good neighbors are better than distant relatives, even more so with couples. If anyone claims that distance creates beauty, don’t believe it, that’s because the other person doesn’t love you enough.
