Before today’s meal, Summer and Theo had resumed their relationship from over twenty years ago.
The two of them are as gluey and mushy as can be.
But now, it actually shrugged off Theo’s hand directly.
What’s really going on?
Summer’s eyes also flashed a trace of panic, opened his mouth to explain, “Sorry ah, I just thought it was a stranger, that’s why …”
Theo believed, squeezed out a smile, “It’s okay, it’s good that you’re so alert, so that even if I don’t accompany you out one day, I’m not afraid that you’ll be cheated by strangers.”
Summer squeezed out a smile in response.
No one noticed the imperceptible smile that crossed the corner of Mrs. Keomany’s mouth next to her.
It flickered and returned to blandness, “So, can we go shopping now?”
Summer’s mind was mixed, and she forgot to refuse for a while, so she followed him to the mall.
Theo naturally followed along.
When she had almost finished shopping, Mrs. Keomany sat down on a bench at the side of the road and pounded her calf with her hand, “I’m a little tired, son-in-law, can you get me a bottle of water and come back?”
“Sure. Is mineral water okay?” Theo readily agreed.
“Yes.”
Once Theo’s back disappeared around the corner, Mrs. Keomany’s eyes fell on Summer, “You seem to be starting to reject him.”
Frozen for a moment, Summer reacted to what this meant.
Immediately retorted with a stern face, “Not really, it was just so sudden that I thought it was just a stranger.”
“Really, I thought it was because you didn’t like him anymore and got bored with him that you dumped him.” Mrs. Keomany narrowed her eyes slightly.
Summer continued to deny, “We have been going around for more than twenty years to get back together, how can we not like it, it is a deeper love, okay?”
Mrs. Keomany hmmed and asked no further questions.
But even so, the smile that swept away at the corners of his mouth still made Summer irritable.
Luckily, it didn’t take long for Theo to return.
He handed Mrs. Keomany the mineral water, and then handed Summer another cup of milk tea.
“It’s still your original favorite flavor, try it and see if you still like it?”
Summer reached out to take it, and after just one sip, the corners of her eyes curved with pleasure, “It still tastes exactly the same as before, it’s really good!”
“Right, our first meeting is in that milk tea store, you are anxious to drink to meet customers, so ask me if I can let you insert a queue, the results I asked what you like to drink, then directly after the broad hand, all the milk tea to buy.”
Summer was so angry that she stomped her feet and said she would curse Theo every time she saw him.
“That thing is long gone, what else is there to mention.” Summer shook her head, with the words not interested written plainly in her eyes.
Theo had a lot more to say, but when he heard this, it all got stuck in his throat.
Not a word can be said.
Snapped and squeezed out a smile, “Yes, it’s been more than twenty years, it’s normal that you’re not interested.”
He just thought that after all, it was the first time they met and made an awkward mess, and Summer would remember it.
Summer also realized that his attitude is too cold, hurried to explain, “those things are after all in the past, people, or live in the present is the most important, so much time in the future, will certainly happen a lot of very interesting things.”
These are things that they can all experience together.
The enthusiasm in Theo’s heart was rekindled and he nodded heavily, “Yes, you have a point, we still have the present and the future.”
Why keep holding on to the memories of the past?
