Chapter 27: A Different Kind of Reunion (02)

  Bathed in the golden light of sunset, Chen Haonan laid out his test paper on the railing and started doing questions with a "swish swish" sound, not even noticing that the railing had been scorching hot from the sun.

  It wasn't until he had solved the last difficult problem that Chen Haonan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: as he admired the beautiful sunset, he folded up his test paper and stuffed it into his pocket along with his pen, feeling extremely comfortable in his heart...

  Shaoyan, Chen Haonan smiled and made a silly gesture towards the beautiful sunset view, saying "Goodbye!" But just as he turned to leave, another breathtaking scene stunned him: two slender and pretty girls, dressed in white, seemed to have descended from heaven. They stood not far away, two girls holding hands, standing there motionless.

  Chen Haonan was stunned because those two girls were staring at him with exaggerated wide eyes.

  Suddenly, Chen Haonan had a feeling that he seemed to have experienced before. Like many of his peers, Chen Haonan had also had beautiful fantasies about the opposite sex. He had dreamed of growing old with a girl in a white dress and long skirt, like an immortal fairy: pure and elegant, detached from worldly cares, with an air of noble elegance that was beyond mortal reach. So, all along, whenever he saw a peer wearing a white dress or long skirt, he would have a special feeling and couldn't help but take a few more glances...

  Although he said so, the sudden arrival of the two white-clothed girls made Chen Haonan somewhat flustered. For some reason, he had a very strange feeling, as if a child had done something wrong and was afraid of being scolded by an adult. However, knowing that he was a "good citizen" who had never done anything harmful or evil, and having no wicked thoughts or ideas at this moment, Chen Haonan suddenly gained some confidence - his footsteps also opened up unconsciously.

  As he walked closer, Chen Haonan saw more clearly that the two girls were both wearing white long-sleeved T-shirts on top and white casual pants below, with white sports shoes on their feet. Moreover, their clothes were all of the same style, even their height and hairstyle were roughly the same: He immediately determined that they were a pair of twin sisters.

  But with this determination, Chen Haonan's feeling in his heart suddenly became even more strange. This feeling prompted him to take a closer look at the two girls again, and as soon as he looked, there was a problem. The familiar feeling made him excited, and the sentence "I think I know you..." almost burst out of his mouth. He quickly suppressed his excited and thrilled mood - at this time, he only thought of one word, which was "escape", and it was "hurry up and escape"!

  To keep a distance from the two girls, Chen Haonan walked as close to the wall as possible, slowly, one step at a time. Walking like this, and also with his back slightly hunched, made him feel a bit ridiculous even to himself.

  It wasn't easy to walk past the two girls, and Chen Haonan couldn't help but feel a little pleased with himself. He finally let out a sigh of relief. However, before he could even take another step, he was stopped by a voice: "Excuse me, classmate, can you wait for a minute?"

  The sudden voice, although gentle and sweet, seemed to be a heavenly sound that shocked Chen Haonan. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and asked with a puzzled face: "Are you calling me?"

  "Of course I'm calling you, is there anyone else here?" The girl on the right was slightly taller, she took a small step forward, swinging her silvery laughter.

  "This is..." Chen Haonan felt a bit embarrassed, his hand involuntarily scratched the back of his head. Since high school, Chen Haonan had rarely interacted with girls, especially after his father's illness, he had hardly spoken to any girls at all. So when he saw the girl in front of him giggling at herself, he felt a sense of unease in his heart, suddenly feeling hot and dry all over, his tongue tip parched. To avoid more awkwardness and to salvage some masculine dignity, he made an effort to steady his tone and hastily asked: "Do you have something to say? If not, then I'll leave first..."

  "It's like this, as soon as we saw you, we felt like we'd seen you before..." The girl who was speaking pulled another girl along with her as she moved closer to Chen Haonan.

  "Oh, is that so? Are you twin sisters or something?" Chen Haonan hastily interrupted to ask, seemingly with a hint of pretentiousness.

  "Yes, we are twin sisters..." The girl from before replied. Then she immediately asked: "Excuse me - what's your name?"

  "Why ask for my name as soon as we meet?" Chen Haonan wondered in his heart. But thinking again, reporting his own name wouldn't cause any loss, so he hastily replied: "I'm Chen Haonan, 'Chen' from the Chen family, 'Hao' from vast and mighty, 'Nan' from the nanmu tree, I am..."

  "Ah! Chen Haonan!" Before Chen Haonan could finish speaking, the girl who had been quietly standing beside her suddenly grabbed her companion's hand and jumped up. In an instant, she hastily asked: "Were you in middle school at Zitan Middle School?"

  "Yes, how did you know?" Chen Haonan's face was full of doubt, and he didn't even care about his gentlemanly demeanor anymore.

  The two girls were not in a hurry to answer Chen Haonan's question, they held hands and laughed for a while before pretending to be mysterious, almost in unison asking: "Then do you know who we are?"

  "I don't know——" Chen Haonan was about to throw out these three words, but suddenly a gleam of light seemed to flash before his eyes. As a result, he involuntarily had some vague feelings... After pacing back and forth several times, he vaguely remembered some things, but no matter what, he couldn't remember the names of the two girls in front of him.

  Several minutes passed, but Chen Haonan was still frowning in thought. The slightly taller girl became impatient and walked forward to tap his shoulder, saying: "Brother Haonan, you really are a noble person who forgets things easily, even forgetting about me and Yu Fen, two little sisters..."

  "Brother? Little sister? Yu Fen?" This string of words quickly flashed through Chen Haonan's mind, and the fragmented memories from earlier suddenly connected. He excitedly shouted: "Yu Fen, Yu Na - Fen'er, Nana! How are you two girls?! You've both grown so tall, I almost couldn't recognize you at all!"

  "Oh dear! Master Chen has finally come around!" The Yu sisters, Fen and Na, almost cheered.

  Chen Haonan couldn't help but smile foolishly, he didn't expect to reunite with his former sister and confidant like this... Memories suddenly flashed back to their middle school days.
