Cindy had a bad memory and almost forgot what had happened in her childhood.
She had a happy life all the time, so she rarely recalled the past.
She couldn't remember the memories of Harley indeed.
Ten years ago, she was just 13 years old and in the second grade of junior middle school. At that time, she still lived at home.
Nothing special had happened that year. Her life was as usual. She went to school in the morning and went home in the afternoon.
She couldn't remember what had happened that year and glanced at Stephen subconsciously. She said, "Stephen."
Hearing her voice, Stephen opened his eyes, glanced at her and asked, "What’s the matter? Have you changed your mind and decided not to date so early?"
Hearing that, Cindy felt embarrassed and said, "I didn't mean this. Did you meet Harley 10 years ago?"
After Stephen heard that, his face clouded over. He said, "No, I didn't."
Cindy said, "But I heard your conversation with him just now. He said that he knew me ten years ago. Besides, you didn't ask him about that. It means that you also met him ten years ago! Did he live in the same villa district as us and move house later? But it's not reasonable. Harley didn't have a good family background at that time..."
Cindy knew Stephen well. Even if she continued to ask him, he wouldn't tell her.
Thus, she stopped asking him but nagged beside him.
As expected, he couldn't bear it soon and asked, "Are you so interested in it?"
Cindy widened her eyes, stared at him and nodded nonstop.
He looked at her for a while and said," When you were in the second grade of junior middle school, you went to a party with your classmates during the winter holiday. Didn't you meet a boy on the way home?"
Along the way, she felt sad and wronged. She even didn't hear what Stephen had said.
She just looked outside the window blankly. The snow was heavy. The outside world was covered with white snow. She didn't know what she was looking at or what she was thinking. She even didn't notice that Stephen got out of the car to buy snacks for her.
What a coincidence. Along the empty street, she saw a boy who was in a sorry state.
It was snowy and cold, but the boy only wore 2 pieces of clothes. He looked thin and weak in the loose school uniform.
He showed up in the empty street suddenly and attracted Cindy's attention.
She squashed her nose against the window and saw him stepping on the snow slowly.
He walked so slowly that even the change of his shadow under the street lamp became slow.
