“He has a heart problem, but he’s fine now. Thank you.” We talked about everything. And finally, the topic cto Southsville, where we went to high school together for three years.
After studying in another city for years, | often thought of many people and things in Southsville. My high school classmates were the most vivid ones in my memory.
Matthew was very talkative. | didn’t even remember many things he said, but he narrated them as clearly as if they happened yesterday.

He spent ten dollars to change places with the boy behind me, successfully taking the spot closest to me.
“Matthew, | have the graduation photo on my phone. Do you want to take a look?” His eyes lit up, and he smiled softly. “Of course. Show it to me.” | soon found the photo, clicked it, and pushed my phone toward him. | pointed to his position. “You were already much thinner by then, gradually becoming handsome.” Matthew ignored my teasing and stared at the photo silently, seemingly thinking something.
When the phone screen went black, | was about to Ba x 4 phone back. But he suddenly grabbed my hand and held it tightly.
| felt like my cheeks were burning. No matter how hard | tried, | couldn't break free from him.
He stared at me, saying softly, “Lulu, Ithought we'd never see each other again. | was sad for a long time. But today, | met you again. | don’t want to hurt myself anymore. | hope you can becmy girlfriend, marry me, and have my children. Let's be together for the rest of our lives. Can you accept me?” His question cso suddenly that | was at a loss for the moment.
“You've read all the letters | wrote, right? Every sentence in my letters is sincere and will stay true forever. Lulu, can we give it a try? | want you to be my girlfriend. I've had this wish for many years. Can you fulfill my wish?” This noble man was begging me, almost trying to please me.
| never thought that one day, a man would hold my hand and askto be his girlfriend.
| had never experienced anything like this and did not know how to answer him.
His affectionate gaze and the warmth in his hands madefind it difficult to say no.

| quickly withdrew my hand back.
Awkwardly, he took his hand back and clenched his pants tightly .He didn't let go of his pants until we left after the meal. It was quite a distance from the college, at least half an hour's drive.
Before the meal, we were just former high school classmates who met in the crowd. We were able to chat happily.
But the atmosphere becunclear because of his request.
On the way back, he kept trying hard to find topics to enliven the enliven the atmosphere .I lowered my head and responded to him casually, not daring to raise my head. When his luxury car stopped in front of my apartment, | was so embarrassed that | wanted to run away. But | couldn’t open the car door.
