Chapter １６
[Alex perspective]
"After this afternoon, I can pay your salary!"
I was a little excited.
Today, my body feels so tired that I went downstairs without taking off my walking clothes.
Alex:"Charlie? !”
“Why are you here? " Alex exclaimed.
Alex was a little surprised.
Looking at Charlie is not light, seeing him walking and limping.
Alex felt sorry to see him limping in the rain.
"Be careful! ! ！”, said Alex
The dull sound cut through the sky.
Charlie fell down on the ground
Alex didn't dare to speak anymore. He approached and lifted him up.
"Thank you.", said Charlie.
“……”
"Can you talk with me?" ,asked Charlie.
I nodded and we sat down in the stairwell.
"You are so cute, so cute that I think of you everytime"
"What's the matter? What’s wrong? " ,Charlie asked with confusion.
Alex dared not show it too clearly.
He is so cute, and I like being with him. These are the weird thoughts running in my mind
“But, but, time and tide wait for no man!”
Charlie left, and he just left without saying a word!
“I was very bad to him, so I understand if he leaves." "What should I do ..."
"I miss him so much ..."
"It turns out that I am so hated"
Charlie said some things before leaving but I didn't hear it clearly, and I didn't have the courage to listen.
When I got home, I almost collapsed.
"I was wrong to treat him like that before. He only wanted the best for me."
"If I can just ask for his forgiveness ..."
"……
These fragments kept popping up in my mind, and it keeps on coming back that I can't get rid of them.
Angry Charlie, laughing Charlie, serious Charlie, holding a bear in the rain Charlie…
"Isn’t this too much ... he too must be feeling lonely now..."
My heart was full of heartache.
I continued to imagine the possibilities of things and I kept on giving myself a self-talk.
"I don't want him to do this, I want to find him!"
I suddenly wanted to call him and send a message.
But I can't find my mobile phone.
"Where is it?”
“Where is it?”
“I clearly just put it here? "
I turned the sofa anxiously.
"Ah!”
“Found it! "
Lying quietly in the crack of the sofa, just like his owner , he is only good at hiding.
I don't know what to say.
"Are you asleep?"
I slowly typed this sentence in the chat box marked " Charlie ".
But it felt inappropriate, I felt very embarrassed.
"I have something to say, I want to see you."
After many thoughts, I finally sent the message.
"Are you busy?”
“I have something for you. "
“？”
There was a lot of question marks running inside my thoughts.
"I want to see you."
"OK, when." Charlie answered.
"Tomorrow, Golden bridge, OK."
"Hmm."
I felt something strange, but I don’t specifically know what's different this time.
