I added that doctor on Facebook, but he did not accept my friend request. I held in the anger in my heart and prepared to go downstairs for a walk.Once I walked out the door, I saw Callie sitting beside Dylan with her eyes filled with tears.Dylan was expressionless as usual.I had an inexplicable feeling in my heart, but I just opened the door and wanted to leave.“Where are you going?” Dylan asked.I never imagined that even at such a moment, he still had the time to pay attention to me.“Downstairs.” I changed my shoes, turned around, and went downstairs.However, I did not expect Dylan to get up and follow me downstairs.What was more outrageous was that Callie also followed.None of us spoke. Hence, the atmosphere was extremely awkward in the elevator.When we walked out of the elevator, I asked Dylan in a low voice, “Why are you following me?”Dylan glanced down at me and hesitated. “Don’t you know why?”I admired him. His little girlfriend was still crying and follo
As soon as I arrived home, I received a Facebook notification. That doctor had accepted my friend request.After hesitating, I set his display name as ‘Charlie Smith’.“I’m sorry, I had a patient just now, so I just saw your friend request,” Charlie explained to me politely.I was not in the mood, so I just replied, “It’s fine.”Once I finished replying, I saw Dylan standing by the balcony and smoking.Dylan was very tall as he was around 188 centimeters. However, he was also skinny. Especially when the light shone at the balcony, making him look even skinnier.I thought about Callie’s confidence and suddenly thought that Dylan was a little pitiful.Dylan did not eat much during dinner. He kept staring at me, causing me to feel quite uncomfortable.I could only avoid his gaze.My dad picked up a chicken drumstick and handed it to him. “Dylan, you’re too skinny, so you need to eat more and nourish yourself.”However, Dylan stared at me and passed the chicken drumstick to me wi
The moment I went out, I was forcefully pulled over to the stairs by someone. I was so shocked that I shouted.After seeing that it was Dylan, I was so angry that I was about to reach out and hit him.However, he did not avoid it at all. He just stood there and stared straight at me.I felt guilty from his stare, so I retracted my hand.“What are you doing?” When I asked this, I felt like I was asking just for the sake of asking.One had to know that this stairway was at my house’s entrance, and my mom would be able to see the both of us if she were to come out to dump the trash.Dylan did not say anything and just lowered his head, forcing me to look at him.“Just say it if you have anything to say. He’s still waiting for me.” I started to lose my patience.Dylan’s body leaned closer to me. Thus, I was forced against the railing, making my back sore.After a moment, only did he ask, “Are you playing with me?”I felt chills in my heart.Who was the actual player? Dylan had a
Once I saw Charlie, he was in formal attire. He stood by the river while answering a call.When he saw me, he smiled at me and put a finger in front of his mouth to gesture to me to stay quiet.I stood awkwardly by his side, waiting for him to finish his call.“I’m sorry, I had an urgent patient at the hospital, so I had to make you wait.”Once I lifted my head, I saw Charlie’s gentle smile.His voice was really special. It had an inexplicable feeling of gentleness.“It’s fine. Your work is more important.” How could I be more important than the safety of those patients? I was not that insensible.Later, we chatted while walking.Charlie could be considered a gentleman. There were often people passing by with their bicycles, and he would always protect me.My feet started to hurt which made me regret wearing heels out for the walk.“Why don’t we have a seat there for a while?” Charlie’s gaze stopped at my ankles as he slightly furrowed his brows.I was surprised in my heart.
“It’s too windy now, so I’ll send you back.” Charlie had already stood up. He then took off his coat and put it on me.My head was still in a daze because of Dylan, and I did not even have the time to think. After being stunned for a few seconds, I replied, “Sure.”Charlie asked if I could still walk.Even if I could not, I still had to say that I could. Otherwise, would he have to carry me?We walked for a while and finally arrived downstairs. I immediately saw that Dylan was leaning at the edge of the flower bed while smoking. He raised his head and looked at me mischievously.I felt chills in my heart. Why did I feel like I was having an affair?“He’s my cousin,” I explained to Charlie.Charlie’s smile froze for a moment. After a few seconds, he handed my purse to me. “Do you need me to send you upstairs?”“There’s no need.” I quickly rejected Charlie because I did not know when Dylan, that ticking time bomb, would explode.“Mhm. Be careful when you bathe later at night. Do
“What the hell are you trying to do?” I cursed and climbed onto Dylan’s back.“Don’t you know already?” After he finished speaking, he carried me and walked upstairs.My house was on the tenth floor, so I thought that he was crazy.However, I could not win against Dylan, so I chose to shut up and stay on his back obediently.“Am I heavy?” Halfway through, I saw that Dyan’s hair had become wet from his sweat, so I could not help but ask.“It’s alright.” He smiled and continued walking.I did not know why he insisted on doing this.“Why don’t you put me down?” I was afraid that he would not be able to get up by the time he finished climbing the stairs.“If you’re worried that I’m tired, then stay put,” Dylan said unhappily.I thought, ‘He really doesn’t know what’s good for him.’“I’ll be leaving tomorrow,” Dylan said suddenly.My heart felt a chill. “Oh.”“Have you made up with your dad?” I asked.“I guess so.” Dylan seemed to be in an oddly bad mood.“Congratulations.”It
When I arrived back home at night, I planned on sending Charlie a text to explain it to him.However, I held my phone for a long time and did not know where to start, so I ended up not texting him.I leaned on the couch in the living room, wanting to check if Dylan had started tidying up.It turned out that he had not started.After thinking about a lot of things all night in a daze, I finally understood one thing. I could not bear to see him leave.The next morning, I woke up early and planned on sending Dylan off. However, my dad said, “You woke up too late. His plane took off long ago.I stood there in a daze, and my heart felt empty.“My boss came to pick Dylan up personally in the morning,” my dad said with tears in his eyes.“Oh, I see.”“When Dylan left, he even asked us not to wake you up. The kid doesn't look the part, but he's very attentive. He knows that you're not a morning person." My mother smiled mischievously.“Don’t even think about it. If you want such a ha
One day, Dylan accepted my Facebook friend request, but we did not chat. His name was just lying quietly in my friend list.What was more shocking was that he did not post anything on his news feed at all.I had added him in vain.The days went on like this. I thought Charlie would never contact me again after the awkward situation that day.However, one day when I was walking on the road after getting off work, I saw a circle of people on the side of the road.I walked over and saw Charlie.Charlie was giving first aid to an old lady who had fallen onto the ground.When I saw the old lady’s ragged clothes, I realized that this was the old lady who would pick up garbage near my area.She was quite pitiful. Although she was already old, she could only make a living by picking up garbage, while her children did not care about her.I stopped at the side and watched quietly.More and more people surrounded the area, and everyone was nervous.However, there were also people gossi
