Chapter 54: Encounter with You

  Nie Zhiyan's gaze fell on the teacher's kind face, and she thought back to seven years ago when she was 18 years old, sitting in a sweltering high school classroom, writing this letter stroke by stroke.

  Hello, future Nie Zhiyan:

  I don't know what you will be like five years, six years or ten years later, but I can be sure that you must be engaged in work related to language, maybe you are a teacher, maybe an editor, maybe a journalist, or you will be a translator.

  You can use Chinese, French, English and even more languages fluently because language is your interest since childhood, and you will never lose this interest throughout your life.

  Maybe at that time you were still single, and you would look for his shadow in the crowd. Maybe you already liked another person, but that person must have had similar eyebrows and eyes to him.

  Maybe...

  Maybe... at that time, he was by your side, smiling at you, holding your hand, gently hugging you, and softly kissing your forehead.

  No matter which one you are, I believe it won't be too bad. You will quietly wait for the day when I can open this letter and lie under the golden sunlight to slowly savor the past years' bits and pieces.

  Wait for me, wait for me to meet you.

  A teardrop silently fell from the corner of his eye, and Nie Zhiyan's lips curved up into a subtle, upward arc.

  She muttered, Teacher, I did it!

  Time flies like a white horse passing through a crevice, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

  Nie Zhiyan was dragged by the bored Lu Mama to stroll around, and the bustling pedestrian street was crowded with people coming and going, perfectly interpreting the four words "population giant".

  She emerged from the fitting room with her head down and tugging at her clothes, asking Lu Mama with a uncertain smile for the nth time.

  "Auntie, are you sure it's really you who wants to buy clothes?" Why did she always have the feeling that it was her trying on the clothes?

  "Of course, but when I see beautiful clothes, I want to put them all on you and dress you up beautifully," said Lu Mama, fiddling with her from head to toe, smoothing out every wrinkle in her clothes. "Xuan Xuan, doesn't this light blue windbreaker look good?"

  "Does it look good?" Miss Nie looked at herself in the mirror, a light blue windbreaker paired with a white T-shirt, and a pair of white jeans underneath. She thought to herself that she still had some youthful capital left, so she nodded her head, "Mmm, not bad."

  Lu Mama is infinitely satisfied.

  When passing by a men's clothing store, Miss Nie's residual light fell on a white shirt worn by a male model, and then her eyes didn't move.

  A white shirt paired with Lu Yi Heng... = elegant and charming + deadly attractive to a group of women.

  ...to death a group of women... this is not good.

  (I revised the text two days ago, and it's already settled today. Actually, now there is only one person who is slow-witted, when Mr. Lu couldn't tolerate various misunderstandings about Miss Nie anymore... then there was no need to tolerate it anymore! Thanks to friends who pursued the text!)
