Meeting him... How should I meet him?
Should I act as if nothing happened, as before, and just go to him with this book in hand?
... Of course not, since the incident has already happened. If I wish for things to return to normal, I need to resolve it.
If we were to meet, we would need to talk... about this issue.
So how should I bring it up?
... With a lighthearted tone, crack a couple of everyday jokes, and tell him, "Pei Ye, it's nothing really...", and then, I would playfully point at myself, "Piaoqing! You actually like me, ha ha."
Then I'll glaze at him sternly.
And so, the matter would pass.
This envisioning briefly loosens the tightness in the young girl's heart. A smile emerges at the corner of her mouth, but a second later, a wave of inexplicable bitterness and grievance strikes, causing her nose to sting and her eyes to redden.
Is it settled then?
How could it end so ambiguously and casually?
