Chapter 103 I Can't Help Kissing You
It was a sunny day. Caroline wrapped her coat tightly in the blazing sun. There were few people walked along the path today, but whenever someone passed by her, she would receive odd looks.
"Is there something wrong with her brain?"
A young couple passed behind her and looked back at her again. Although they didn't speak in front of Caroline, they didn't deliberately lowered their voices.
She was accustomed to their comments which sounded behind her, and the surprised expression of people who passed by occasionally.
Looking up at the scorching sun in the sky, she understood how frightening her costume was in other's eyes.
When everyone was wearing T-shirts, shorts and skirts, she was wrapped tightly without any exposed skin.
Looking at her long-sleeved shirt, she regretted not wearing a thicker coat.
She felt bursts of pain from her bones. At this time, another young couple riding a bicycle wobbled next to her.
The girl wore a white skirt and the boy was dressed in a white shirt. The girl was so bright and animated that Caroline could hear their brisk chat from afar.
"Let's go to the amusement park later. It's a lovely day. We'll have a good time."
"OK. Good idea. Let's go to the amusement park."
"How about camping tonight? I bought a tent."
While they were chatting, the bicycle passed by Caroline.
"Hello! Wait a minute."
"What?" The young couple were surprised. The boy stood on one foot and stopped the bicycle. "You called us?" He looked Caroline up and down. The boy was quite handsome. He frowned with suspicion. "What's the matter?" Was she a lunatic?
Caroline was stunned. She didn't want to stop them, but she couldn't help speaking.
"Are you all right?" The girl with short brown hair in the back seat tilted her head, stretching out one hand and shaking it in front of Caroline.
Caroline was still in a daze.
Why did she suddenly stop two strangers?
"You want to ask for directions? That's okay. My boyfriend is a knowledgeable person and he is familiar with the way in this area."
The girl's voice was full of youthful vitality. Caroline hurriedly lowered her eyelids and blinked. She raised her hand to inadvertently wipe the corner of her eyes, and then she said warmly, "According to the weather forecast, it's going to rain today."
After saying this, she turned and left. She was lame, so she was staggering. It seemed that her pace was a little hurried.
The conversation between the young couple was getting farther away.
Caroline could faintly hear the girl asked, "Does the weather forecast predict it will rain today?"
The boy also looked puzzled. "Maybe she was wrong? But she is really a good person."
The voice gradually faded away, and Caroline smiled wryly. Was she a good person?
If they knew she had been in prison, would they still say she was a good person?
Walking aimlessly, when she looked up again, Caroline froze.
Under the banyan tree, a man with a white shirt and khaki pants came into view.
He stood in the shade of the tree with his hands in his pockets, smiling at her with white teeth, as if the air was full of romance.
In a trance, Caroline seemed to see the summer of that year.
Under a banyan tree taller than this one, a boy stood in the shade of the tree with a white shirt, khaki pants and white sneakers. She trotted over in a hurry, and he looked impatient and urged lightly, "You are too slow. Hurry up, otherwise I will go first."
