"Hello, is there anything I can help you with? I think I've come to the wrong place." The woman in front of her smiled gently, remembering what Li Yao had said: you must make a deep impression on the first meeting. If a man asks for your contact information, never give it to him. Instead, keep him in suspense and find an excuse to take you home. He'll only contact you after he knows your address.
This person's face is exactly the same as Tongtong's, but her height... Xiao Se looked the woman up and down. If she wasn't Tongtong, she wouldn't be that tall, and she wouldn't dress like this. She was a well-behaved girl who wore a school uniform to school, and she would never show her collarbone in her daily outfits.
She was quite frightened and couldn't stand up straight. "I'm sorry, I'm looking for a woman wearing the exact same clothes as you. She should still be here." Realizing her lapse in composure, she quickly apologized, her face still pale.
"Xiao Se! Come here, come here quickly!" The groom called out to him from afar. This person's appearance was out of the ordinary and would definitely scare the classmates to death. It was a bit unlucky on such a joyous day. He whispered a few words in his ear.
Yes, she's been dead for four years. Everyone knows that Tongtong is Principal Xia's daughter.
"Excuse me, what's your name? Where are you going? I'll take you."
Han Han looked at the person in front of him without daring to look up at her. She had always been like this. When she was embarrassed or shy, she would never look up to hide her feelings. Forgetting her current status, she excitedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand. The icy feeling made him frown.
"I'm sorry, I was scared for a moment. I... am a student at the Women's Academy, in the dance department. My name is Xiaohan."
The girls' college is so far from here, how could she come to this place? This is a wedding in the wilderness nearby, and he booked the whole place when he was planning it. She gently pushed away the hand of the person in front of her.
"Okay, let's go. I'll have the butler take you."
Subconsciously, I distanced myself from Xiaohan. I had originally planned to deliver it myself, but I felt it wasn't appropriate, especially since Weiwei was still angry.
"Hey bro, I got pranked by my classmates and it's bothering you, I'm off now."
"Little brother..." I'd heard that title many years ago. Only Tongtong would call him that, and the person in front of me always pouted when addressing people. A shiver ran through Xiao Se's heart as memories flooded his mind.
That early summer, during the final year of high school, a transfer student arrived. She wore black-rimmed glasses, had waist-length hair and bangs, and spoke very softly when introducing herself. The students in the class started to tease her, which finally caught her attention. She looked sleepily at the shy girl on the stage.
At the time, all the seats were full except for his. The teacher reluctantly arranged for her to sit next to him. It was because of the teacher's attitude that we later learned that she was Xia Meifen, the daughter of the principal who had recently passed away. Because of this identity, everyone often directed their dissatisfaction with the principal at her.
They would doodle on her back, put caterpillars in her schoolbag, and hide her books in the trash. Back then, Tongtong had a very good temper. No matter how her classmates bullied her, she would never tell on them and would patiently find her things.
As the saying goes, people always like to bully the weak. Seeing the girl's gentle and weak appearance, Xiao Se's sense of justice kicked in, and he could no longer stand it. He stood up and started a fight, becoming the leader of the class. However, he also paid the price for it and received a major demerit.
She folded a paper crane by hand and placed it in front of his pencil case. When she opened it, she found the first time she had addressed him.
Thank you, sir.
From then on, he became her protector. They were together every day on their way to and from school. At that time, he didn't know what love was; he was just used to her presence. Moreover, Tongtong was always confused and couldn't distinguish between left and right or between red and green.
"Well, Xiaohan, let me take you. I'm going out to find my girlfriend anyway."
In front of her, Xiao Se made a point of introducing himself, saying that he had a girlfriend and that he was giving her a ride because it was on his way and he had no other intentions.
Han Han walked ahead with a smile that made his eyes look like crescent moons, but inside he was heartbroken. He introduced Lin Weiwei as his girlfriend, but he just couldn't believe it.
Inside the car, the two remained silent. He sat in the passenger seat, not next to her, while Han Han, though looking out the window, would occasionally steal glances at Xiao Se's every move in the rearview mirror.
"Hey buddy, the light's green! Why aren't you moving?"
Knock knock knock
That familiar feeling washed over him, and Xiao Se suddenly turned his head, looking at the bewildered person, "What did you just say? Say it again!"
"I... I said the light was green, why didn't you go?"
With trembling hands, he unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, and sat in the back with her. He looked at Xiaohan in disbelief, repeatedly saying "impossible."
Tongtong had stomach cancer at that time, and died in his arms when her heart stopped. How could the person in front of her be exactly the same as her in speech and behavior, especially her eyes, which had that misty, dreamlike quality?
"Hey bro, I'm here. You don't need to see me off anymore. I can walk to my dorm by myself."
He was lost in thought for so long that he didn't even realize he had arrived at his destination. Xiao Han waved to him and then walked up the small stairs.
"Hey Xiaohan! Could you please give me your contact information?"
Han Han froze on the spot. It turned out that Li Yao was right. Men don't like women who are too enthusiastic and proactive. Moreover, they are visual creatures. So, she had to wear whatever Lin Weiwei wore in order to attract his attention in the crowd.
"Uh...no, your girlfriend will get angry, bye-bye."
Upon hearing this, watching Xiao Han stride away, he wanted to bite his tongue off. What was he doing? Lin Weiwei was his girlfriend now, how could he forget her existence just by meeting someone who looked exactly like his first love?
No, this woman seems suspicious. I need to get Quick-Tongued to investigate.
He picked up his phone and dialed Lin Weiwei's number, but no matter how many times he dialed, the phone was switched off. This woman! She actually switched off her phone, she didn't want my child, she didn't want anything I offered her, what exactly does she want?
"Young master, should we send someone to get that young lady's contact information?"
"No need. Go to Ma Fei's house and find Lin Weiwei. Remember the new girl! Don't mention what just happened to your sister-in-law when you see her again."
He felt a pang of guilt. He had just asked Xiaohan for her contact information, and the two of them had even sat in the same row. If Lin Weiwei found out, he would probably go further and further down the road of pursuing her.
He opened his voicemail inbox and left many messages, waiting for Lin Weiwei's reply. Even if she had blocked his number, she should still be able to receive messages. "Wife, I was really wrong! I'll definitely win you back." Xiao Se watched a couple passing by outside the window and silently vowed to himself.
