Yeah, I did enjoy it.
I wanted to say that, but obviously, I couldn’t.
Ethan sneered: “Three years without seeing each other, cat got your tongue?”
No, no, it hasn’t.
I smiled faintly: “Hello, Ethan Collins, long time no see.”
Since I couldn’t avoid it anyway, might as well face it bravely.
But Ethan couldn’t smile.
He stared at me as if trying to bore a hole through me.
His slightly reddened eyes and trembling hands betrayed him.
I don’t know how long this went on.
Long enough for passersby to start staring at us.
Ethan finally lowered his head and helped me with my luggage.
Along the way, neither of us spoke.
Ethan walked quickly, with no intention of waiting for me.
I dragged my suitcase, falling behind.
I couldn’t help but speak up: “Ethan, slow down.”
2:53 PM
Ethan stiffened for a moment.
-It used to be like this.
He would walk in front, and I would follow behind, calling “Ethan, Ethan.”
This feeling was long overdue.
Ethan impatiently said: “Are your legs short?”
But his pace noticeably slowed down.
“Your legs are long, the longest,” I retorted without courtesy, “Too bad the part that should be big isn’t.”
The words slipped out, and the ambiguity was immediately apparent.
I meant his capacity for forgiveness.
But… Ethan misunderstood.
He turned his head, lips tightly pressed, his face three parts embarrassment, the rest utter disbelief.
“Is this why you left without a word?!”
Me: …
The situation was very bad.
He pulled me into the stairwell, insisting that I explain my previous statement in detail.
I shrugged: “There’s nothing to explain, it means exactly what it sounds like.
“You must be remembering wrong, you were drunk that day too.”
“Whatever, it’s not important.”
“It is very important!” Ethan’s cheeks were red, probably from anger, “No, I must prove myself.”
I was about to ask how he planned to prove it when I saw Ethan put his hand on his pants zipper.
I was stunned.
“You’re not serious…?”
What kind of childhood friend would start undressing on the first day of reunion?
Ethan’s expression told me he was very serious, this was a matter of dignity.
Before I knew it.
His zipper was already open.
