“Tell me about the girl you like; what was she like back then?”

Ji Ziming sank his weight on the padded back seat and regarded the man in the driver’s seat with his dark eyes .
He casually asked that before closing his eyes as if he were planning to sleep .
He seemed to be merely curious and had no other motive .
Fu Mingxuan noted his calmness through the rearview mirror and tightened his hands around the steering wheel .
“I already forgot . ”
He sucked in a deep breath .
“Forgot? If you had truly forgotten, you wouldn’t have remembered and looked for her for years . ”
The man lightly rapped his fingers on the padded seat .
“…” He fell silent at this .
At this moment, the traffic light turned red . In tandem with the slowing down and eventual stop of the car, his riled-up heart also turned calm .

Swish!
He took out an exquisite-looking silver lighter and lit up a cigarette stick for himself .
As white smoke wafted out of his mouth, he started speaking .
“She’s a beautiful girl inside and out . ”
His cold expression turned gentle at once as his eyes became filled with nostalgia at the mention of the girl .
“She might not be the prettiest I’ve seen, but she’s definitely the purest and kindest . Her smile was even the nicest . ”
At this point, his face was a picture of happiness .
“We were two people who should never have met, but because of that basketball match…”
He turned to look at the man . “It’s that match you rejected . ”
Hearing this, Ji Ziming’s eyes opened wide .

“It’s actually funny . Of us four, you and I are alike in terms of personality, but the difference lies in that yours is innate, whereas mine is a mask I wear to hide my feelings .
“People like us find it hard to like someone or even fall in love with one, yet miracles do happen sometimes . ”
Seeing that the man’s eyes were now open and looking at him silently, he turned around again .
“I’ve liked her the moment I first laid my eyes on her . I won’t ever be able to forget the pure and bright smile she gave me back then . ”
Ji Ziming could not help his chest from constricting at his friend’s narration .
This was his friend and his woman’s past – a past that he was not part of . It was a past… he had not seen .
“Weren’t you guys always wondering why I seldom hung out with you all at that time? That’s because I was with that girl . It’s all so I could hear her call me brother Mingxuan and stare at her pure smile .
His hands tightened into fists as his eyes shone with displeasure .
Brother… That d*mn woman hasn’t even called me that affectionately!
“That’s the happiest time of my life . I thought that we could keep going on like that and I could continue staying by her side, growing up with her… and becoming each other’s beloved . Unexpectedly, she got into an accident, her father passed away, and her family was ridden in debts, causing her to vanish completely from my life . ”

The happiness on the other’s face disappeared, and in its place was anger and regret .
Compared to him, the man felt much better .
Although he should not be thinking this as Pei Ge’s boyfriend, he still felt a little happy that mishaps happened to her family .
That was because his friend was truly outstanding . He could not be certain how it would have ended if none of those things had happened to her and they continued to spend time together .
Maybe, the two would date, get married, and…
Just as his mind was in disarray, the other continued indignantly . “Do you know? I resented you back then because of this . ”
He was stunned to hear this .
“Resented me? Was this somehow related to me?”
He narrowed his eyes at him through the rearview mirror .
He noted the seriousness on his friend’s face and understood that he was not joking at all .
“Weren’t you kidnapped back then? Everyone was worried about you, so we all stayed by your side . Do you know? That’s the day I lost all contact with her, and she vanished from my world . ”
His friend chuckled sorrowfully .
“If not for you, maybe we would’ve started dating long ago . I should’ve stayed by her side back then . She has just lost her father and family, so she must’ve been very confused, but I wasn’t…”
Although he felt a little guilty upon hearing that, he did not feel a shred of regret .
“The day that you were kidnapped, her father passed away and her family went bankrupt . On the day that you were saved, she went missing . From then on, I haven’t been able to find her . ”
His friend turned to give him a desolate look . “Tell me; shouldn’t I resent and blame you? Because of you, I lost the girl I’ve always liked . ”
“…” He did not reply and just silently looked at his friend .
Seeing that he did not have the intention to speak, Fu Mingxuan exploded at once .
“What about you, though?! You clearly already have Qiao Jingyun! Don’t you only treat that woman well?! Why do you still have to go after the girl I like?! You know it! You know how long I’ve looked for her! You know how much I like her! Why must you snatch her from me?! Aren’t we good friends?!”
