Chapter 22

  The dance class started at more than 9 o'clock in the morning. As it was during the summer vacation, many students signed up for tango dancing. However, most of the girls were enthusiastic about signing up because they heard that tango dancing could help them maintain a slim figure or lose weight. As for Youyou, she had no worries about her figure and wasn't particularly interested in tango dancing either. She simply went to sign up with Du Jiajun one day when they were out shopping together.

  The dance class is not far from home, and there's a direct bus. Youyou waits at the bus stop in front of the convenience store downstairs every morning, this bus route has always had few passengers, but the waiting time is a bit long. Youyou is used to standing at the entrance of the convenience store, pretending to be careless and stealing glances at the boy under the station sign across the road.

  That boy likes wearing clean white shirts, carrying a guitar and always holding a box of lemon tea.

  He stood under the green shade, with short sunlight slowly crawling over his young face. He and she were separated by a road, with unfamiliar figures and buses constantly passing through, filling the distance between him and her with the clear summer air.

  She didn't know his name, age.

  I don't know if he likes Eason Chan's music?

  Which middle school does he attend?

  Which bus does he want to take?

  Will he even finish drinking the lemon tea he bought?

  She knew that one day she would muster up the courage to walk right up to him and ask him about all this. Only, before then, she could only pretend to be reserved while secretly stealing glances at him, secretly liking him.

  In her thin youth, her secret love was like a naive sketch.

  However, he has not appeared yet. Youyou stood at the entrance of the convenience store, gazing at a bus on the opposite side of the road slowly stopping and taking away all the people. The desolate wind was wandering in front of the bus stop under the shade of the trees. And the bus she was waiting for would arrive soon.

  She won't see him again today.

  She listlessly turned her head to glance at the clock on the wall of the shop, confirming the time. When she brought her gaze back, she saw the old lady from the sundry store struggling to bend down, as if to pick up a spherical object. But there was nothing on the ground.

  Nothing but a damp ground vaguely reflecting the withered face of an old woman.

  The old woman finally squatted down, her hands holding something, and then struggled to get up again. She moved her aged feet slowly towards Youyou, who saw the faint smile on the old woman's face, with deep wrinkles under her cloudy yellow eyes. The old woman was very thin, with two prominent collarbones that looked like dark abysses.

  The old woman moved her loose skeleton, slowly walking to the front of Youyou and then squatting down, with both hands opening in front of her as if holding a ball-shaped object, just like putting the object in her hands into someone else's hands. But that person and that thing did not exist!

  When the old woman finished all this, she laughed again, revealing a mouthful of yellowed old teeth, and her mouth emitted a turbid smell that made people feel nauseous.

  A chill ran down her spine as she clearly sensed that Liu Po was not smiling at her.

  Although the old lady sometimes showed symptoms of senile dementia, Liu Po's strange behavior today really made Youyou fearful. She quickly withdrew from the sundry store. Just at this time, the bus she was waiting for stopped in front of the station sign.

  As I ran onto the bus, I saw Liu Po still standing at the entrance of the convenience store waving and smiling at me.

  Don't follow me
