Chapter 63
“It’s okay, I won’t make fun of you.” I patted his shoulder and changed the subject with a smile. “So you like Eason as well, but you never mentioned it before.”
Jack looked towards the stage, his voice tinged with melancholy. “It’s natural to love something because
of association.”
“She liked him?”
“Yeah, she was really into him back in university.”
“What a coincidence.”
I smiled. “I used to love listening to Eason’s songs back in university too.”
He smiled knowingly. “Quite a coincidence.”
We were in VIP seats, with a perfect view of the performance, and no blind spots anywhere.
With the familiar intro, the singer appeared on stage, instantly lifting the atmosphere in the entire arena, and causing countless fans to scream and sing along, Jack and I were like two outliers, quietly listening. Scenes from the past years flashed through my mind like a movie playing, frame after frame.
Ten years ago
I didn’t know you
You didn’t belong to me
We were still the same
Keeping company with a stranger
Walking through gradually familiar streets
Ten years later
We
are friends
Still able to greet each other
Just that tenderness
No longer finding reasons to embrace
Lovers eventually become friends.
Upon hearing the last line of lyrics, tears suddenly streamed down my face. I cried silently for a long time. When I tried to find some tissues to wipe my tears, a pack of tissues was handed to me.
Jack’s eyes held restrained emotions. “After crying, will you still turn back?”
I don’t think so.”
I wiped the tears from my face, watching him hold back, I couldn’t help but say, “If you feel like crying, just cry. Maybe like me, after crying, you’ll be able to move on from this hurdle. I won’t tell anyone.”

He teased me with a light smile, “Who told you I want to move on?”
“Then what do you plan to do?”
I realized, unexpectedly looking at him, “You still want to pursue that girl?”
He nodded. “Yeah.”
“No wonder Jane always praised you as a good man. You are indeed very faithful. Well, go and pursue her quickly, we’re all waiting to attend your wedding
‘From university until now. That’s almost like my feelings for Ryan. Except he still has a chance to develop a relationship with that girl. Once Ryan and I get a divorce, we won’t probably even be friends. Eight years of liking someone, but still ending up as strange. Quite ironic,‘ I thought.
Jack’s lips curved slightly, his amber eyes sparkling like stars in the night sky. “I can’t pursue her right now.
“Why?”
“She hasn’t divorced yet.”
“Oh.” I nodded subconsciously, then suddenly reacted, unable to believe what I just heard. “What?”
