Anna: “…”
She just really wanted to make sure who that person was; she wasn’t going to ask him for his number.
“I really don’t want his phone number, it’s just that he looks like someone I knew, so I wanted to find out if it was him or not.”
One of the girls patted her on the back, smiled and said, “Is that the excuse you thought of to start a conversation? It sounds like a good excuse. Then we’ll use it too, we could say he looks like a former student from our school.”
Anna: “You…”
“Don’t be so embarrassed, we will go together.” Then he took Anna by the arm.
Anna was going crazy, she felt she was unable to control herself. So he said angrily, “Do we happen to know each other? Did I give you permission to take my arm? Besides, what I just said is the truth. He really looks like an old acquaintance of mine. I just wanted to make sure if it was him. Now get away from me. Thank you.”
With that said, the expression on his face also grew colder and his gaze fixed on the girls.
The girls were stunned for a moment, then let her go.
“What’s the matter with you? You think you’re so beautiful that you don’t want us with you?”
“That means she won’t talk to him, I didn’t imagine you would want to monopolize it.”
“Let’s leave it alone, let’s go to him.”
“Yes!”
Several women came forward. Anna just wanted to go and see him, but thinking back, if these women had spoken to him, he would not have had a chance to see her face.
Only if those women stood behind him, then he would turn around.
Thinking about this, Anna decided to stay in her seat and keep watching. She stayed behind the car to watch how the situation changed.
Anna held his breath and watched in silence. After the girls came to him, they shyly covered their cheeks and after a while asked aloud, “Hey… You know, you look so much like a student from my former school, what a coincidence.”
Anna, who was not too far away, almost fell forward after hearing what that girl said.
This woman… She really used that excuse to talk to him, but she said it in such an unsure tone, how would he know she wanted to start a conversation?
Of course, the man did not flinch; he seemed not to have even heard her. He stood still and his cold breath mingled with the night chill.
Silence fell as if crows had passed by.
Anna looked at the scene and could not help but cover her eyes with her hand.
She didn’t even want to watch how it turned out, how could she be so stupid.
“Hey…” The girl probably did not expect that he would stand there motionless as if he had not heard her, as if he did not even consider them.
But immediately her friend said smilingly, “I’m sure he’s thinking we’re not talking to him. Let’s try to go in front of him.”
The girls went in front of him smiling shyly.
“That…”
Cristian frowned. The smell of their perfumes entered his nose, all the surrounding air had the pungent smell of their perfumes.
These women.
“Hey, you…”
“Go away!”
Suddenly Cristian addressed them.
Finally, he said what he was thinking, but those words pierced the women’s hearts like knives.
The faces of those women whitened in a second. Their pallor clashed with the night darkness; they looked like ghosts.
Seeing this scene, Anna could not help but put her hand to her lips and laugh.
In fact, she could tell that the man did not enjoy the company from the fact that he had moved away from the crowd. Those girls did not notice him and believed it would be easy to approach him.
However… The more the man acted that way, the more anxious Anna felt.
If it had really been him, she probably would have had the same reaction.
But he was in a wheelchair, while that person was standing around, she could not understand how they could be the same person.
Anna lowered her gaze and began to think. When she raised her head, she saw the man with his hands in his pockets walking in the opposite direction from the girls.
Seeing him walking in her direction, Anna could clearly see his face, while Cristian kept his gaze cold and fixed, so he did not see Anna behind the car.
When Anna saw his face, she felt like a cold shower.
Anna continued to stare at Cristian until he had moved away. The girls approached with red eyes. After seeing such a scene, they were filled with anger and shame, so they said to Anna, “You must have enjoyed seeing that scene.”
Having heard someone address her, Anna came to her senses and looked at the women in front of her.
She was not the one who was told to leave, but her face was even paler than theirs.
One of them saw something wrong with her and asked curiously, “Why are you as pale as a ghost? Aren’t you the one who was rejected.”
Anna took a deep breath, struggling to listen to what other people were saying to her.
All she knew was that the man standing there at that moment was identical to the man five years ago!
He-he was identical to Manuel!
How was that possible?
What a coincidence, they had only been back in Italy for such a short time, and already they had met him on the highway? It was unbelievable!
Cristian!
How was it possible that Cristian was here!!!?
Maybe it was because when she looked at Manuel’s face every day she thought of Cristian? And maybe that was why she saw Cristian again in that man?
Thinking about this, Anna did not care what those girls thought of her, and asked directly, “He just left just now? Right?”
The girls looked at her doubtful eyes.
“Are you okay?”
“You were watching us the whole time?”
“Really… Is he gone?” Anna asked absently.
So, was that really Cristian she had seen?
