She walked over step by step, stopping in front of the two of them. Without even looking at the woman beside Dao An, she stared directly at Dao An and, after holding back so many words, could only say, "It's been a long time, hasn't it? I didn't expect to run into you here, what a coincidence, what a coincidence."
It sounded like a cheerful tone, but only Sheng Yi knew how difficult it was to maintain that tone while saying it.
Dao An maintained his calm appearance and responded to her with the warmth one uses when seeing an ordinary friend, "It has been a long time, Miss Sheng Yi."
He looked at the girl in front of him, full of life and radiance, and thought of how she had just received a bouquet of flowers from a man, smiling so sweetly at the time. Hearing her take the initiative to greet him and watching her walk up to him, he almost couldn't help but want to embrace her, to savor the preciousness of this moment.
But he couldn't.
