Chapter 17 - A Glance At Her
Chapter 17 – A Glance At Her
"You can stop here. I need to buy some things."
"Then you go inside. I'll wait here for you."
Mo Roulan let out a frustrated sigh hearing Shen Youlin's words. After Shen Youlin came to know that she needed to go somewhere, she told her that she would go to the hospital by herself and need not her help. When she reached the University and went inside her class, she was surprised to see Shen Youlin there.
She and Shen Youlin were in the same College and in the same class. The class ended and Shen Youlin sticked to her till they left the college. Mo Roulan didn't mind. She didn't know why but she saw another Little Mo Chen in Shen Youlin. But when she was about to leave the college, Shen Youlin still didn't leave her.
She literally stuffed Mo Roulan in her car saying that she would take her wherever she wanted to go. Mo Roulan felt very complicated about her behavior. Shen Youlin was different. Very different from those girls from rich families who used to mock her in her last life. It was true that earlier in the alley she was a little cold to Shen Youlin because she had thought that Shen Youlin will also dislike her because of the difference between them.
Mo Roulan even mentioned to her intentionally that she was not from City but was from a town. She has moved here. But she didn't even see any change in her expression.
Now she was sitting inside Shen Youlin's car as she asked her to stop the car. She had thought that she would part away from Shen Youlin here and then will go to her home. But it seems that her plan was not working at all. Shen Youlin wanted to wait here for her.
Mo Roulan finally let out the words from her heart.
"Miss Shen"
Shen Youlin frowned hearing her calling 'Miss Shen'. She had been telling Mo Roulan to call her 'Youlin' or 'Linlin' whatever she wanted except Miss Shen. But she didn't listen to her.
"You don't need to feel as if you owe me something. It was my decision to save you and even if anyone else had been in your place, I would have done the same."
Mo Roulan saw that her face was almost on the verge of tears. She looked away as she felt that it would soften her heart.
Such a delicate girl.
She got out of the car opening the door and then bend down to look inside through the mirror.
"You should go to the hospital."
Shen Youlin had covered the redden cheek with makeup so that it would not be visible but it was starting to swell now.
Saying this, she turned around and took a few steps forward. But her hand was suddenly held from her behind. When she turned around to look she saw Shen Youlin tightly holding her hand with a hesitant expression.
"I just want to be friends with you."
When she didn't hear any answer from the other side her head got lowered so much that Roulan wondered how could she bend down her neck so much just like an ostrich.
Shen Youlin continued in a low voice.
"You see… I am not this talkative and clingy other times. I just wanted to be friends with you. If you don't like it, I will talk less."
She raised her head slowly and her eyes were a little misty.
"I promise. Will you be my friend?"
Her voice was filled with pleading as she forwarded her hand to shake.
A soft smile surfaced on Mo Roulan's lips and she also forwarded her hand.
Shen Youlin eyes gleamed with joy as she tightened the hold of her hand. Her eyes never moved away from their hands.
On the other side of the road, inside a car, the driver looked ahead to check when the road will get clear. On the back seat sat a man working on his laptop. His fingers moved on the keyboard very fastly. The phone placed by his side vibrated and on seeing the name he closed the laptop and answered the call.
"Old He"
A large shout came from the phone as soon as he answered the call. But it didn't bring any change in his ice-cold blue eyes.
"What do you take me for? You suddenly left all the work here for me to handle and I didn't even know about it till this morning. I had planned so…"
The voice on the phone continued saying many things but the listener didn't pay any attention at all. Because all his attention was on the other side of the road. No, actually on a pair of eyes. The same black-brown eyes. From her eyes, he could tell that she was smiling. Only she had such a pair of expressive eyes.
Someone was standing in front of her. He could only see her eyes. But he could not see them anymore when she turned around and walked away from there.
Frantically, he opened the door. The phone and laptop fell on the car's floor. The voice on the other side of the phone paused on hearing the sudden sound.
"Old He…Old He ..are you alright?"
The driver who was standing with a stupid expression on his face looking at his master's back hastily picked the phone.
"Sir…Boss suddenly ran away."
"Ran away, where?"
"Sir, I don't know."
A large shout rang in the driver's ears.
"Then what are you doing? Go and chase He Jian."
The driver obeyed and hurriedly ran in the direction where his Boss went.
While He Jian hurriedly crossed the road. A number of people started yelling at him as he suddenly ran in front of their vehicle. But he didn't care. He just wanted to see her once.
But when he reached the other side of the road, no one was standing there. His blue eyes looked around but couldn't see anyone. He was sure that she was here a moment ago.
But she disappeared again just like she did five years ago.
And he again could not stop her.
