Chapter 62 Should Expose Him?
Annalise ran faster.
Julian sped up again. Similarly, Annalise sped up.
When he reached the other bridge, Julian suddenly stopped. He stood on the bridge with his hands cupped around his lips and he shouted at the river, “Ah-”
After shouting, he turned to smile at Annalise. “Come on, shout!”
He knew that she was in a bad mood today. She would feel much better if she let it all out. She could also take the chance to say goodbye to her past.
Annalise was already sweating profusely from running and a ball of fire had been accumulating inside her, so she shouted toward the river as she stood on the bridge, “Ahhh-Get lost! Get lost, all of you!”
After shouting, she immediately felt much better.
She exhaled and looked at Julian. “Are we going back?”
“Yes,” Julian replied.
The two of them walked back.
The journey was silent, but the atmosphere was very natural and not awkward at all.
She didn’t say who she was asking to get lost, and he didn’t ask.
They had not known each other for long, but they had formed a tacit understanding.
He seemed to know what she needed all the time.
A car passed by them, and Julian reached out to pull Annalise over. He said to her, “You walk inside.”
“This is already a sidewalk.” Annalise could not help but laugh.
Suddenly, her mood became better.
She realized that with him, she would naturally become relaxed.
“Yes, but you can still walk inside. It’s safer,” Julian said.
Annalise walked inside.
When Julian and Annalise walked together, he subconsciously wanted to hold her hand.
Thinking of the phone call she had just received that made her very frustrated, he retracted his outstretched hand and placed it by his side.
At night.
The two of them were sleeping side by side as usual.
After saying goodnight to each other, Annalise curled up into a ball and went to sleep.
Afraid that she would use Julian as a pillow again in the middle of the night, she deliberately reached out to hug the pillow. Moreover, she was facing the left completely. She felt that she would definitely not turn over if she slept like that.
She thought that she would not be able to fall asleep easily after being disturbed by Benjamin today. Unexpectedly, the moment she closed her eyes, she did not even have time to think about the details of her relationship with Benjamin. She felt her eyelids droop and… she fell asleep.
Half an hour later, Julian did what he did last night. After calling out to Annie and getting no response, he reached out and gently poked her.
There was still no reaction, so he pulled her to the right like last night. After moving her to the middle, he flipped her over and placed her leg on his leg and her hand on his waist.
He then moved closer to her.
After he was satisfied with the posture, he turned off the light and closed his eyes.
In the morning
Annalise was dreaming. She dreamed that it was almost the new year. The village’s pond owner was fishing.
and after draining the water, she could see that the pond was filled with fish. She and the villagers were catching fish in the pond.
A few of her mentors shouted at the top of their lungs from the bank, “Anna, on the left. The big one on the left is a bighead carp. Let’s make a chopped chili fish dish.”
“My goodness, look behind you. There’s a mandarin fish behind you. Let’s steam it.”
Annalise wanted to raise her leg and turn around to catch the mandarin fish, but she realized that her leg seemed to be stuck in the pond and could not be pulled out.
She lifted her leg with all her might. She was so anxious that she woke up.
