Chapter 170: I Like You Just as You Like Me
The most familiar road, the most familiar figure.
However, at this time, although we are standing side by side, there seems to be a galaxy between us.
"I'm sorry." Kim Nam-hoon stopped first and opened his mouth.
This kind of silence always makes him have an indescribable sense of depression, and he is no longer like before, even if he doesn't speak, he can be like that, with the slack of getting along all day.
Huang Fuxi also stopped, looked back at him, the familiar face of the young man who once seemed to be gentle and restrained, but was actually indifferent and proud, lowered slightly, and did not dare to look directly into his eyes.
Suddenly, there was some distress.
"It's not your fault." She spoke, then turned, and continued to walk on her own.
Yes, these things have never been your fault.
When I first met you, I wondered why this beautiful little boy's eyes were full of alienation, indifference, and distrust of people.
Later I learned that I saw you alone in the dark with your knees in your arms, sitting from dark until dawn.
Then sit from dawn until dark.
Like a delicate puppet doll, it has lost all its color.
Then, I saw that you were covered in blood, your eyes were bloodshot, that crazy look that wanted to destroy everything, I was afraid, but more of a heartache.
So I couldn't stop getting close to you, talking to you, going to school, chatting with you, and playing with you.
I can't help but tease you, I want to see what you look like when you laugh.
And then I saw it, and that was the first time I saw you smiling, like a wild rose all over the sky, beautiful but faintly thorny, and you can't get close.
Now, we are so close, but I can't go back.
But I know that all this has never been your fault.
I didn't want to blame you, never, never.
She walked over to the stone platform, sat down, and watched the sunset turn the sky red.
"Xiaoxun." She called.
His body froze slightly, and he turned to look at her.
"I like you, you know."
Everyone thought that you had been by my side, but for the past ten years, from the very beginning, I took the initiative to be close to you.
The words of confession came out without warning, and he was stunned, not knowing how to react.
"I don't know when it started."
Perhaps, it was from the mourning hall that I couldn't help but hug the numb you at that moment.
Or maybe it's in the classroom, and I open my eyes and see the side of your face, glowing with warmth in the sun.
"I'm used to staying with you, going to school together, leaving school together, I'm used to being able to see you within three steps, I'm used to you letting me, accompanying me, always just looking at me, only caring about the way I look."
"I'm not stupid, for so many years, how can I not see anything that others can see?" She laughed, yet so sad.
I always thought that we would go on like this.......
"Xiao Xi ......" didn't know why, he suddenly felt a little flustered, the person in front of him seemed to be illusory, as if it was within reach, but it was a mirage, and when he touched it, it dispersed.
"It's me who I'm sorry for you." Huang Fuxi took a deep breath.
I'm sorry, I'm going to give up first.
I once said that I would be there for you.
But......
"Namhoon." She looked at him and threw herself into his arms, trying not to let the tears fall.
