Selina thought for a while. Although she was not particularly happy, she didn't feel as bad as before.
Lothar was a man with a "silly yet amusing" nature. Whenever she was with him, she would be infected by his mood subconsciously.
"I don't feel too bad," said Selina.
Lothar pointed ahead. "Why don't we take a walk together at the park?"
Selina didn't have anything to do, and she also didn't want to go back home too early.
She agreed immediately.
When she was walking with Lothar in the park, she suddenly thought of the first time she went to the park with Matthew. At that time, she had been nervous.
However, she didn't feel anything like that when she was with Lothar.
Selina felt that Lothar was a very innocent person, and they had a lot of things that they could talk about. It was as if their genders did not matter. They hit it off pretty well as friends, and no one would think too much about it.
"You're lost in your thoughts again. Are you thinking about your man again? Have you come here before with him?" Lothar asked.
Selina froze for a second.
Your man...
She had taken a stroll at this park with Matthew and Dylan before. However, the only person she remembered was Matthew and not Dylan.
It had been a very long time since she'd recalled anything to do with him, so long that she could not even remember how long it had been. It seemed like she did not think of Dylan at all.
What on earth was going on?
A trace of confusion flashed through Selina's eyes.
It turned out that whenever she and Dylan quarreled and broke up in the past, however long it lasted, she would be suffering from constantly thinking about him.
However, she no longer felt anything like that at all.
When did Dylan start to leave her memories?
"If someone hasn't thought of a lover for a long time, what does that mean?" Selina couldn't help but ask.
"That means you don't love him anymore." "However, they had been together for so many years. How could they easily forget each other?" said Selina.
Lothar laughed. "Sometimes, a person's emotions can be very strange. I remember when I was in high school, I was crazily in love with a girl and almost wanted to jump from the school building because of her. However, I didn't meet her during the summer break, and all of a sudden, I forgot my feelings for her. Even when we did meet again, my heart didn't flutter. Similarly, relationships are also like that. It's not strange to forget about him."
Selina was silent.
Dylan was no longer in her heart, but at this moment, it was occupied by Matthew.
"Then what does it mean if you're constantly thinking about another person?" She said it very softly, almost as if she was talking to herself.
However, these words were immediately heard by Lothar.
He took up the tone and demeanor of a spiritual mentor, "That means you've fallen in love with him."
"Of course not!" Selina immediately retorted.
She spoke in a loud voice, frightening Lothar.
Lothar patted his chest. "Selina, if the answer is no then so be it. Why are you being so agitated? Look at you, you're already very ugly to begin with. The way you look now almost scared me to death."
Selina was taken aback.
She glared at Lothar. "You don't have to be so eloquent with your words right now!"
She paused and continued, "I didn't fall in love with him. It's just because I hate him that I'm constantly thinking about him. I hate him so much."
"What sinister things did he do to make you hate him so much?"
"He's supporting female entertainers!" Selina said in a self-righteous tone.
Lothar said nothing.
He was a little speechless. "This is not a big deal, and this is common in the entertainment circle. What's more, there are a lot of men who are supporting female entertainers. Don't tell me that you hate all of them and think about it every day?"
Selina was silent.
She didn't know what to say to refute the statement.
After a long while, she said, "I, Selina indeed hate such people."
"Come on." Lothar didn't believe Selina's words, "I think you've fallen in love with him!"
