Novelette Waves, Waves

Chapter 14

Xu You was less than eight years old when he came to our place. It is said that he fled to Qinghua Town because he avoided the beating of his stepmother.

Grandma Xu who adopted him treated him very well, and he repaid Grandma Xu with the best grades.

He graduated from Onmyoji at the age of 16. He is so outstanding that everyone guessed that he would choose to stay in the imperial capital as a Beijing official.

After all, the economy of Qinghua Town is too poor to give him a good salary.

It is reasonable for such an outstanding him to stay in the imperial capital.

But unexpectedly, he gave up the opportunity to stay in the big city, and resolutely chose to return to this remote and barren town.

While the townspeople didn't understand, they were truly happy deep in their hearts.

Qinghua Town finally has its own onmyoji.

Looking at Xu You like this, the deer in my heart suddenly bumped.

I fell in love with him, but he always avoided me on purpose.

Women have thin skins, no matter how stupid I am, I know this is a tactful refusal, so I am as proud as I am and will never pester her again.

Later, I met my first love, who took me out of Qinghua Town, and he came to my noodle shop for the first time that day.

I was surprised, every time he passed by my bakery in the past, he would walk in a hurry, but this time he would take the initiative to enter the door.

He ate three bowls of noodles, stared at me for a long time, and finally left without saying anything.

Many years later, when he held my hand and talked about the past, I realized that he ate noodles to strengthen his courage, and he once wanted to confess his love to me.

The words came to his lips, but he couldn't speak them.

'The big fool. '
