On the day of the graduation ceremony, Elaine stood quietly in the corner in her bachelor's uniform, as if she didn't fit in with the hustle and bustle of everything.
There were many parents of students who came to celebrate this most important moment in their lives.
If her father was still alive, he would have come to attend.
Aaron walked up next to her and put the flowers he bought in her arms, "Eh, your family didn't come either?"
Elaine retrieved her thoughts and subconsciously reached out to catch it: "Aren't you alone too?"
Aaron leaned against the wall next to her and spoke lazily, "I didn't tell them that I didn't like the scene."
Elaine didn't say anything.
Aaron added, "What I told you last time, have you thought about it, do you want to go to City H with me?"
Elaine said, "I haven't thought about it yet."
She was supposed to go back to Riverside City immediately, but for some reason, when the day was really near, she began to retreat involuntarily.
She seems, not ready to face everything in Riverside City.
Aaron said, "There is no hurry to think about it, you can go to City H with me to play a round, if you really do not want to stay there, I will send you back to City N on the line, anyway, not far away."
At that moment, a girl came over with a bouquet of flowers and communicated with her in English, "This is what a gentleman over there just asked me to give you."
Elaine sniffed, looked in the direction the girl pointed, then immediately shoved the bundle in her arms to Aaron, took the one the girl handed her, quickly said thank you to her and ran with her legs.
Aaron looked at the flowers he just sent out and returned to himself, his eyelashes slightly drooping, and then smiled lightly and got up to give the flowers to the girl still standing next to him: "Here you go."
The girl looked confused: "WHAT?"
Aaron said, "Happy Graduation."
Happy graduation.
Elaine hugged the bouquet of flowers and ran in one breath to the street outside the school, but never saw the familiar figure again as she did on her birthday night two years ago.
She stood in front of the school, panting slightly, looking down at the bouquet of flowers in her arms, wondering what she was thinking.
At that moment, she was tapped on the shoulder.
Elaine jerked her head around and saw a slightly familiar face: "Hello ah, are you looking for me?"
She skimmed, "Why are you here."
Vincent said, "Why can't I be here, as your brother, to celebrate my sister's graduation ceremony, also can't."
Elaine suddenly realized something: "Did you send this flower?"
Vincent asked rhetorically, "Or else? Who do you think it is? Who else could it be?"
Elaine: "......"
Elaine handed the flowers back to him, "I got them, thanks. It's too heavy, you can carry it for me."
Vincent: "......"
This can't be said without some level.
Vincent put one arm around the flower: "How about it, what do you want to go eat tonight? Brother treat you."
Elaine was silent for a few seconds before saying, "You have to stop saying that, I don't like to make jokes like that."
A few years ago at City N, Vincent lied to her and told her that she was picked up by her father and he was the real one, causing her to be sad for a long time.
She knew Vincent meant no harm and was just trying to tease her.
But now that her dad is gone, a joke like that would be hard on her.
Vincent raised his hand and said, "Sorry, it won't happen next time."
Darnell instructed, "Drive."
......
Elaine returned home, put the flowers aside and began to pack her things.
Before you know it, you have collected several large cartons.
As she sat down to rest, she took out her phone and booked a flight to City H. She also booked a hotel.
Elaine thought about it for a while and decided to talk to Aaron about it, so he wouldn't know that he could read about it again for half a day.
After Aaron received her message, he immediately called: "Didn't I say, I'll pay for your food and lodging at City H?
Elaine said, "No, I'm leaving tomorrow morning, City H is so big, I probably won't run into it either."
Aaron tsked: "Elaine, you really I have seen, the most cold-blooded people, two years of time eh, you are still treating me as an outsider, you are afraid that I will kidnap you, blackmail your family to get money to ransom people."
Elaine explained, "No, I consider you a friend, but a lot of people at school think we're in a relationship, and I think it's important to keep a little distance, otherwise it can cause problems in both of our lives."
"So what's wrong, I don't have a girlfriend, nothing is bothering me in life."
Elaine said, "I have."
Aaron asked, "What?"
"I have a boyfriend, and I don't want him to get the wrong idea."
Aaron was silent for a few seconds: "It's been two years, where did you suddenly pop up with a boyfriend? If you have one, how come you've never heard you mention him?"
Elaine said, "Anyway, that's it, for now, I'll see you sometime when you get back to City H. Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Elaine put away her phone and looked at the rows of gifts on the cabinet, and couldn't help but be a little lost in thought.
It's been two years, why hasn't he come to pick her up.
