Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life

Chapter 14 Loneliness

On the evening of the second day, Song Yan, who got bored in A City, finally went back to B City unhappily.

On the third night, Xia Lin suddenly received a MMS message from Song Yan before he went to bed, with a blurred photo attached.

He only took a glance at it and then silently deleted the photo.

A short while later, Song Yan called and asked, “Xia Lin, did you see the photo I sent?” There was an unfulfilled excitement in his voice.

“Yeah.” Xia Lin responded and looked at his watch. At this point in time, the concert should be over.

“How about it, how about it, isn’t it beautiful? Especially when he smiles, his eyes are curved like the moon in the sky. And those two little tiger teeth, don’t mention how cute it is.”

“Hmm.” Xia Lin clearly remembered that when Song Yan had first met Yu Luotong in his previous life, he had described him in the same way.

How great was the power of love, to make a thick-skinned brat instantly sensual.

Song Yan did not notice Xia Lin’s coldness and was still talking about himself: “But can you imagine that such a cute guy is not a girl! I was going to confess my love to him as soon as the concert was over!”

Xia Lin: “Oh.”

“But he’s actually a boy, I can’t believe it!” Song Yan was already a bit incoherent, “How can there be such a cute boy under the sky, this is so unscientific!”

“Heh.” Xia Lin thought to himself, “No matter how unscientific it is, you’re still chasing after him.”

Song Yan finally noticed Xia Lin’s coldness: “Xia Lin, are you in a bad mood?”

“It’s okay, just a bit tired.”

“I know, you want to see this concert too, right! But who made you aspire to be a school bully, are you in a particularly depressed mood right now?”

“……” Xia Lin thought to himself, where am I not being depressed because of this—ah–no, I’m not very depressed.

“Don’t worry, I bought a lot of ET peripherals before the opening, I’ll send you a few later.”

Xia Lin didn’t actually want them and mulled over how to refuse.

However Song Yan brought the topic back to Yu Luotong, and it was without any segue at all: “What a pity, I forgot to ask him for his phone number. I didn’t even ask for his name, I only focused on stealing his picture, I didn’t even say a few words to him!”

Xia Lin silently rolled his eyes, he was very reluctant to tell Song Yan that he would be able to see the other party again when school started this was the so-called destiny.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”

Xia Lin’s coldness finally made Song Yan’s adrenaline rush gradually cool down.

After a moment of silence, he asked, “Xia Lin, are you annoyed with me?”

“No, I’m just tired,” Xia Lin closed his eyes, a deep tiredness in his voice, “I’ve been doing mock questions during the day, and my brain cells are a bit overdrawn.”

The slightest hint of annoyance in Song Yan disappeared in an instant: “There’s still six months left, so why fight like this now? Too much brain cell overdraft can shorten your life, you need to take care of your body.”

Xia Lin was a little surprised, it was rare to hear Song Yan chattering about advice, as he was usually the one who got the advice.

Imagining the look the teenager on the other end of the phone might have, Xia Lin unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth. However, he soon realised that he was damn lacking in determination again.

With a slightly embarrassed cough, Xia Lin’s attitude returned to his previous coldness: “Got it. I have to get up early tomorrow, so I’ll hang up now, good night.”

“Oh, good night.” Song Yan heard a beeping sound from the other end before he hung up the phone as an afterthought.

At this moment, he was standing alone in the empty square of the Sports Hall, the crowd around him was gradually dispersing. Although the party had come to an end, the noise of the concert still seemed to be fresh in his mind.

However, at this time, Song Yan’s heart was flooded with loneliness, an indefinable loneliness.
