When Uncle Shane Yu entered the living room, his gaze fell directly on me. A faint smile played on his lips as he walked over and gently pinched my cheek.
He then frowned, sternly questioning me, “Why didn’t you greet me when you saw me at the restaurant that day?” I had overheard their conversation; he had just brought up divorce, and Uncle Shane Yu still had the nerve to pinch my cheek.
I was truly disgusted. I gently pushed his hand away, sincerely saying, “Uncle, I might not have seen you clearly. I didn’t know it was you.”
Shane Yu’s eyes scrutinized me: “Was that young man your boyfriend?”
I lowered my head, avoiding his gaze. “We’re just friends.”
At that moment, my aunt came out. “Sharon’s here.”
I immediately went to my aunt, wanting to distance myself from Uncle Shane Yu.
“Auntie, Mom asked me to get your things, I left them in the living room. I’m going to Grandma’s.”
I was walking ahead, standing at the intersection hailing a taxi, when a Range Rover pulled up behind me, the window rolled down. It was a handsome, baby-faced man: “Little girl, let me take you.”
“No need, I can go by myself, don’t trouble yourself, Uncle.” I quickly waved my hand in refusal.
Shane Yu looked at me with a smile, saying, “I was thinking of greeting you next time we meet.”
I sincerely replied, “I will, Uncle.” At the city library:
Chris He was looking at an English book. He looked up at me and whispered, “Sharon, come study English with me.”
“Okay.”
I listened to the English questions, my head spinning more and more, I was so anxious I started pulling my hair out.
“Chris, I don’t know how!”
“I’ll teach you! You need to memorize them carefully, for example, prioritize memorizing things you like.” Chris patiently taught me English grammar.
Chris said gently, “Anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me. I’ll teach you carefully! Stop scratching your hair, or you’ll go bald and won’t be pretty anymore.”
I nodded at him.
Chris laughed at my confused expression, “Sharon, you’re such a beautiful idiot!”
I playfully punched him, “You’re the idiot!”
He immediately pulled me into his arms, looking at me affectionately, and said, “I like idiots!”
Seeing my face quickly turn red, Chris He released me.
“I’ll explain the questions to you.” He carefully explained the English questions to me, one by one.
“Is there anything you don’t understand?” Chris asked earnestly.
“Yes, yes, thank you, Chris!” I smiled and thanked him.
Chris He playfully pinched my nose. “Don’t be so polite.”
“I recommend a tutoring class for you, to improve your English. You can come with me!” Chris He recommended a tutoring class.
“Okay!” I nodded obediently.
…There’s a grand cultural performance and fireworks show in Shengcheng today.
Chris He had asked me to go with him to the performance early on.
I was wearing a light red long dress with a white Chanel-style jacket. My long hair was styled in curls, which, combined with my delicate, fair face and large, double-lidded eyes, gave me a particularly alluring look.
From afar, I saw Chris He standing tall and straight in a black casual suit. His features were clean and refined, and his smile revealed Sharon’s dimples.
Chris He greeted me first. “Sharon, over here.”
I ran over, and he gazed at me with deep affection.
“Sharon, you look so beautiful today!”
I smiled happily at him. “Because I have to look beautiful for you!”
He laughed heartily, took my hand tightly, and excitedly ran towards the venue for the performance.
When we arrived, we discovered that the performance was being held in such a grand and solemn auditorium. What’s even more surprising is that after watching the spectacular cultural performance, a dazzling fireworks show awaited us outside!
We walked hand in hand into the magnificent hall and found seats in the center.
Just then, the stage lights suddenly illuminated the stage, and a unique and grand cultural performance began. Various spectacular scenes unfolded before our eyes, leaving us breathless. The most eye-catching was a beautiful woman in a red dress, gracefully waving a bright red ribbon in her hand, like a butterfly in flight.
However, fate played a cruel trick on her. She was unfortunately taken by a powerful man and ultimately forced to separate from her beloved, a truly regrettable situation.
The story’s protagonists decided to elope. Despite encountering countless hardships along the way, they remained steadfast and inseparable.
Unfortunately, they were ultimately defeated by cruel reality and could not escape their tragic fate. In the end, they chose to die in each other’s arms on that cold winter day when they first met, ending their young lives.
Seeing such a tragic ending, I couldn’t help but burst into tears. “It’s so heartbreaking…” I sighed softly.
Chris He, seeing this, comforted me tenderly, saying, “Sharon, it’s just a fictional story, don’t be sad.” He gently took out a tissue and softly wiped away my tears.
He comforted me, saying, “Don’t cry, Sharon, it’s all fake. Don’t worry, I’ll never leave you!” Hearing his words, I felt incredibly warm inside.
“Would you like some drinks? I’ll go buy you some!” Chris He carefully asked.
“Let’s go together!”
He took my hand, and we picked out drinks.
I looked at them and ordered: “Just a lemonade!”
“Okay, two lemonades, please.”
As we walked out with our drinks, I saw Uncle Shane Yu in a suit and his alluring second wife.
I really didn’t want to say hello, so I used Chris He’s back as a shield.
I suggested, “Chris, let’s go watch the fireworks!”
