Yan was speechless upon hearing their assumptions.
Come on, I just want to make sure if he is the person who I think he is. I’m not going to ask for his number!
“No, I’m really not planning to ask for his number. I just thought that he looks like someone I know, so I wanted to go over and check if it really is him.”
“Ooh!” One of the girls patted her on the shoulder and said with a grin, “Is this the pick-up line you are using to hit on him? It seems pretty feasible. We will say the same later, that he really looks like a senior from our school.”
Yan stuttered, “Y-You-”
“Don’t be so shy! Come on, let’s go together.” With that, she even grabbed Yan’s arm intimately.
Yan was getting agitated that she could barely hold her violent temper back, so she said angrily, “Miss, I don’t know you. Can you please stop hugging my arm so intimately? Also, what I said just now is all true—he does look like a person I knew and I just wanted to confirm it, that’s all. I don’t want to talk to him at all. Please stay away from me now. Thank you.”
With that, her expression became aloof and frigid as she glared at the girl coldly.
The few girls froze for a moment before letting her go.
“Hmph! Why are you so lofty? Just because you are quite pretty? How dare you take us lightly?!”
“That’s right! She said so pompously that she wouldn’t talk to him. Who knows? Maybe she wants to have him all to herself.”
“Let’s ignore her and talk to him first.”
“Alright!”
With that, they walked forward together. Yan originally wanted to follow them to take a look at that man, but on second thought, if these girls went to strike up a conversation with him, she would have a chance of seeing his face from afar anyway.
As long as they approached him from behind, the man would definitely turn around.
Thinking of this, Yan made up her mind to stand where she was, planning to hide behind the cars and see how everything would unfold.
She held her breath as she watched quietly. After the girls reached him, they shyly covered their cheeks before asking aloud, “Uh… excuse me, you look like one of the seniors in our school. I believe fate has brought us together today.”
Yan could hear everything as she was not too far from them, and she almost stumbled in disbelief when she heard that.
This girl is so… cheesy! She literally used the thing I told her. That aside, the way she delivers it is so cringy. Sis, now everyone knows you are hitting on him deliberately!
Sure enough, the man remained stoic and motionless as if he hadn’t heard the girl. He stood as still as a mountain, the cold aura around him merging with the night.
A moment of awkward silence ensued.
As Yan watched this from afar, she couldn’t help covering her eyes in utter disappointment.
I can’t bear watching this anymore. Is she an idiot?
“H-Hey—” The girl probably didn’t expect him to ignore her like this. The tall and slender man stood motionless, treating them as if they were invisible.
But her friend soon returned to her senses and smiled. “Maybe he doesn’t know that we are talking to him. Let’s go up to him to see his face.”
Hence, the few girls walked to his front, smiling shyly.
“Uhm…”
Ye Moxuan frowned as he smelled a strong perfume emitting from the girl’s body, bombarding his senses. The perfume was so pungent that it seemed to pollute the air around him.
These women.
“Hi, you—”
“Get lost!”
Without any warning, Ye Moxuan suddenly uttered two words.
As they had wished, he had finally spoken to them, but his words were like poisoned needles that pierced through their heart mercilessly.
In an instant, the few girls turned pale, looking as pale as ghosts in the night.
Witnessing this scene, Yan couldn’t help covering her mouth with her hands, muffling her laughter.
This was so amusing. From the way he chose to stand away from the crowd, she could tell that the man was not someone whom one could afford to provoke, but those naive girls were actually delusional enough to think that they could attract his attention.
Sigh!
However, upon seeing the man’s reaction, Yan became even more shocked.
If he was that person, he would probably have the same reaction.
However, he was in a wheelchair back then; now, he was standing. She couldn’t put two and two together.
Yan lowered her eyes, deep in her thoughts. When she raised her gaze again, she saw the man leaving in the other direction with a cold expression with one hand in his pocket.
Coincidentally, he was walking toward Yan’s direction, so she was able to see his facial features clearly. However, since Ye Moxuan pulled a long face without looking around, he didn’t see Yan standing behind one of the cars, completely dumbfounded.
After Yan saw his face, she instantly felt chills running down her spine, as if someone had just poured a basin of cold water on her head.
Yan was completely in a daze, locking at Ye Moxuan even after he walked further and further away. The girls who had walked up to him came back with red eyes, and when they stumbled upon this scene, they were annoyed and insulted her, “Hey, wipe your drool. Look at you—your eyes almost pop out. You obviously like him a lot, yet you still deny it.”
Yan came back to her senses when she heard them. Then, she looked at the girls in front of her.
She was not the one whom he growled to get lost, but her face was so pale that it was even more terrifying than theirs.
Seeing that something was wrong with her, one of them asked curiously, “Why are you looking so pale? You’re not the one who was rejected.”
Yan took a deep breath, completely oblivious to her surroundings.
All she knew was that the man who walked over just now looked exactly the same as the man five years ago!
He also looked exactly like Little Bean!
How is this possible?
It is way too coincidental! How long has it been since we returned? We actually ran into him on the highway? No matter how I think about it, this is too incredulous!
Ye Moxuan!
How could I have run into Ye Moxuan here?
Maybe I look at Little Bean—who looks like Ye Moxuan—too often, so I’m having an illusion now. Is this why I regard the man as Ye Moxuan?
Thinking of this, Yan didn’t care what the girls thought of her and asked, “Did someone walk by just now? Did that happen?”
Upon hearing her, the girls suddenly looked at her as if she was mentally retarded.
“Are you alright?”
“I think something’s wrong with you. You kept staring at him.”
“H-He really walked over?” Yan asked blankly.
So, have I seen Ye Moxuan for real?
