Seven Days Seven Nights (Nicholas and Nancy) novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 You Idiot, You’re The Ten-year Crush! 

Nancy swiftly wiped away the tears from her face. “No, I was just reminiscing about some things from the past, and it suddenly made me a bit emotional. It’s nothing. I’m fine now,” she said, forcing a smile 

to conceal her true emotions. 

“Really? You’re not lying to me, are you? What made you so sad? Can you tell me?” Nicholas was naturally somewhat skeptical. 

“Just some old stories that don’t need to be mentioned. By the way, didn’t we say we were going to have dinner? I only had a light lunch; I’m really hungry now.” 

“Alright, then. Where do you want to eat?” Nicholas asked. 

“The street outside Pinnacle High School,” Nancy replied without hesitation. 

This location was something she had decided on earlier. 

Originally, she had thought that if she ever returned with him, she would bring back beautiful. memories. But now, all she could think of was sadness and sorrow. 

Well, it was still a good place to say goodbye. 

Let it end where it all began. 

At least, it was an amicable parting. 

However, Nicholas was quite surprised. He curiously asked, “You seem to have a special fondness for Pinnacle High School.” 

“Yeah?” Nancy smiled but didn’t explain. 

The sky turned dark much later on summer nights. When the two arrived at Pinnacle High School, the sky was still bright, and they were just in time for the sunset. 

A large expanse of fiery clouds appeared in the sky. Shades of orange, red, and deep red formed a beautiful painting. It was incredibly stunning. 

The afterglow filled the entire sky. 

Nancy looked up happily. The sun’s rays fell on her petite face, making her look even more gentle and beautiful. 

“It’s so beautiful!” 

A gentle breeze blew. 

Everything was so perfect, but her heart felt as heavy as lead. 

In the end, since everything began here, it had to end here as well. 

“Nicholas, have you been back here since you graduated?” Nancy asked. 

He shook his head. “I haven’t had the time to come back since I graduated, except for the time I came with you. Why do you ask? Have you dropped by often?” 

Nancy nodded. “Yes, I’ve been coming here every year, sometimes as many as three or four times when I’m free. But I come here at least once a year.” 

“Why?” 

Nancy smiled and looked at Nicholas. At that moment, she faced the wind and laughed like a child. filled with youth and liveliness. She was flawlessly beautiful. 

“Because of nostalgia. The most beautiful and happiest years of my youth were spent here.” 

How could she not be nostalgic? 

The most beautiful and happiest years of her youth? 

At that moment, the first thing that came to Nicholas’ mind was “him”-the man she had silently loved and buried in her heart for ten years. 

“Is…” Nicholas began. 

But when it came to saying the words, he couldn’t bring himself to ask her the question. 

He admitted that he was afraid. He was dreading it, truth be told. 

He feared hearing her answer, and he feared hearing a definite one even more. 

If he did, he would truly go mad with jealousy. 

At least now, he could continue to deceive himself. As long as Nancy did not say anything, Nicholas could continue to pretend he didn’t know and numb himself. 

At least that way, it wouldn’t hurt so much. 

“What do you want to eat?” Nicholas changed the subject. 

Nancy pointed to a pasta restaurant across the street. “I want pasta. How about you?” 

“I’ll have pasta with you.” 

“Okay,” 

They went to the restaurant together. Since it was dinner time, there were quite a few people inside. Fortunately, the place was spacious, so even with many customers, it still felt roomy. 

After they found a table by the window, Nancy sat down. 

The waitress quickly handed them menus and then, because she was so busy, hurried off to another table. 

“Do take a look at the menu first, and let me know what you want to order,” the waitress said before busily attending to another table.

Nancy nodded. “Alright. Go ahead and do what you need to.” 

This was typical for a small eatery. They couldn’t provide the same level of service as a high-end restaurant, but it was affordable and convenient for students in the area. 

“I’d like some tomato spaghetti. How about you? What do you want?” Nancy asked Nicholas. 

“I’ll have the same.” 

Nancy paused for a moment. Just then, the soft and coquettish voice of a girl came from a nearby table. “Aw, let’s not order that. I want chili garlic pasta. The carbonara one isn’t good at all. Alright, alright. I promise I’ll just eat the spicy one this time. Next time, I’ll listen to you and eat something milder. The girl spoke while batting her eyelashes and making cute gestures, 

She looked truly adorable. 

Soon, Nancy heard the boy relent, “Okay. I’ll agree to it one more time, but no next time!” 

Listening to this, Nancy couldn’t help but smile. 

As expected of a sweet young love-it was so heartwarming. 

Although Nancy was someone who had been married for two years, she didn’t find it cloying at all. Instead, she found it the epitome of sweetness. 

Yes, that was what love was all about-sweet and tender moments filled with pampering and spoiling each other. 

If love didn’t involve a bit of silliness, playful acting, clinginess, and impulsiveness, could it even be considered love? 

Nancy was envious of them. 

It was a pity, though. She had long outgrown that stage. 

Her heart seemed to have been worn down without any cuteness or sweetness left, and there was no more passion or impulsiveness. 

Therefore, her admiration grew even stronger. 

The moment Nancy looked at them, she felt like she was back in her student days. 

Love was so simple then, and what they wanted was straightforward. 

Looking at Nicholas again, she suddenly summoned the courage and asked, “Since our tastes are the same, do you want to share a large portion with me?”
