Later, Charlotte told Evelyn that Noah’s parents had been investigated for financial issues.
They sent him abroad in a hurry.
Evelyn hadn’t seen Noah since then.
This was the first time after graduation.
Noah still looked as handsome as before.
He wasn’t disabled anymore.
If anything, he seemed even taller.
Evelyn remembered how much Charlotte used to talk about Noah in high school.
What clothes did Noah wear today?
What brand of shoes did Noah wear today?
What did Noah say to her today?
It was always about Noah.
Then they both went abroad.
Evelyn thought maybe they would end up together.
But Charlotte said they didn’t even go to the same country.
Well, it really wasn’t meant to be.
When Evelyn arrived, she started ordering.
What’s spicy?
Charlotte said she hadn’t had real Sichuan food in a long time.
She was craving it.
Actually, they didn’t really like spicy food.
They ordered Sichuan cuisine because it was the most exciting for their taste buds, just like Hunan food.
The dishes came one after another.
They ate delicious food and drank beer while chatting about the past.
They mostly talked about elementary and middle school.
Those carefree days.
Later, somehow, the conversation turned to Evelyn and Noah.
“Have you and Noah kept in touch all these years?” Charlotte suddenly asked.
Evelyn looked up in surprise and glanced at Noah.
He happened to be looking her way.
Evelyn had been class monitor for three years in middle school.
Noah had been the study committee member the whole time.
They got along with each other just like any other classmates.
But because they were class officers, they sometimes met to discuss class matters.
Later, somehow, rumors spread that they were a couple.
Because of that, Evelyn was called to the Academic Affairs Office for questioning.
At that time, Evelyn was so anxious she cried.
Noah handed her a tissue and said half-jokingly,
“If we don’t make a good show of it, it won’t be too bad to be rumored.”
Evelyn really wasn’t in the mood to joke with Noah then.
She didn’t respond.
Then nothing came of it.
Because Noah went abroad.
When Evelyn thought about what he said in the Academic Affairs Office, she never quite understood if he was joking or confessing.
But there was no way to find out now.
“We didn’t keep in touch. I wrote to Evelyn, but she never replied!” Noah answered half-jokingly.
“No, I never got it!” Evelyn quickly retorted.
“No way. Is it really fate?
Luckily, luckily, you’ve finally come back home. Now there’s still a chance!” Charlotte joked.
Evelyn blushed and said awkwardly,
“You two talk first. I’m going to the bathroom!”
She made an excuse and walked out of the private room.
She went straight to the hallway.
But she couldn’t find the bathroom.
She had to ask a waiter.
The waiter pointed her in the right direction.
She had to go back, look for the restroom sign, and walk in with her head down.
Just as Evelyn was about to enter a stall, she heard the sound of water.
She turned her head, a little confused.
The next second, she closed her eyes and screamed.
Then she waved her hands and cried,
“Pervert! Exhibitionist! Creep...”
Alexander Sterling, who had just finished urinating, frowned.
He zipped up and turned around.
He saw a young girl dancing and screaming like she was hysterical.
“Little girl, you’re in the wrong bathroom!” Alexander frowned and reminded her.
