Chapter 853: The First Date with Love
Translated by Zhang Bao for the first time with love 2018.7.7
The first time I made an appointment with my boyfriend, I was still a little hasty. After all, this is my first date with a man, and I am a little at a loss. What makes me nervous the most is that he looks so handsome. He spoke to me very easily, as if we had known each other for many years. I've been thinking nervously. He asked why he hadn't seen me on the balcony for the last two days. I just shrugged my shoulders and said, "Because I'm in a bad mood." "I couldn't believe it would be nitpicking in front of him. Oh my God, you should have subtracted me 200 points!
My first date turned out to be ridiculous. Like a fool, I spread the branches I had cut from the tree on the ground and sat down. Believe it or not, it's surprising that this kind of thing doesn't end there. He asked me out to meet him again, and we went on dates together a lot. He is pursuing a graduate degree. Over time, I learned more about him and his family. His name is Andrew. The name is not romantic at all.
But I can honestly tell you that he is the most romantic man in the world. He is a very responsible person, and even if he loses faith in me, I am not afraid to be with him. He's mine and I couldn't ask for anything more. He proposed to me and it was the best day of my life. Of course, I accepted, and we were going to get married soon.
However, just last month, I found myself on Facebook for the first time, and someone was in love with me. The man got my phone number from an old classmate of mine and called me to say he was in town and wanted to meet me. Why? That's why he met an old friend. He begged to meet me. Even though I didn't want to meet him, I agreed to meet him at the café the next night.
When I told my fiancé about this, he told me that I could go and see him, and said, "Chatting doesn't die, and as long as your old love stories don't come back, I won't worry." He teased me that the "old love story" hadn't been revived for years. Actually, I can't remember his full name.
The next day after work, I went to a café to meet the man. What surprised me was that I still recognized him, he hadn't changed at all. But the difference is that this time I didn't feel anything for him, not at all. It just felt like he was a stranger and what we were saying was like a conversation I overheard someone else. Maybe it's because I've grown up, maybe it's because my love story is full of another person's name.
We were together like strangers, he no longer made me feel any pain, and half an hour with him felt like a business meeting. There is no communication of emotions, and there is no false exchange of emotions. I don't even understand why he came to see me. We were never friends. He seemed shocked when I told him I was engaged.
"You can't treat me like this, I like you so much!" he said to me suddenly.
"What do you mean by that?"
I was surprised by his reaction. "Your bright red lipstick looks good," he reminded me, hoping to rekindle the spark of love I had been crazy for him that day.
But instead of rekindling the spark of love in my heart, he reminded me of the pain and scars he left in my heart that night. I gave him a blank look and said, "I don't want you to live in the past. "I couldn't hold back this time and said it.
"It was just a childhood obsession. Please don't take it seriously. I'm happy with my life and I don't know why you're bringing it up again, now, after all these years. I have a very good relationship with my fiancé and hope you can find someone who truly loves you. Please don't contact me again. Hope you can live well. With these words, I hurried to see my beloved.
We may fall in love many times, but there is always a special moment when we encounter a completely true love story in our own lives.
So don't be afraid to fall in love and never give up, because a romantic love story can be like a fairy tale that usually awaits you around the corner.
