Chapter 351 Meeting Darren Again
This was the first time that ra had seen Darren ever after she returned. She suddenly felt
Darren hadn''t changed much except that he looked more mature now. His dark blue customized suit
made him look even more upright. Her aura had be stronger, and more intimidating.
At the moment of seeing Darren, ra felt the old-time was rushing toward her. And then, as his face
became clearer, the memories slowly spalled like the surface of an old wall.
She seemed to have seen herself at college and herself five years ago smiling at the present. It was
the simplest and most beautiful rtionship she had.
But then she thought of Darren''s dilemma. However, all that seemed to have vanished along with
Ashlee''s death.
Was this the magic of time? While retaining the original faces of each person, it profoundly changes
each person. Darren had changed, and so was her.
Now she can smile when she thought about the past and face it.
Darren saw ra the moment he came in. He was as amazed as the crowd just now. He couldn''t hold
back his attachment for her anymore.
How many times, he woke up from the dream and stepped into the darkness. ra''s figure was still
imprinted in his mind. Her image at school, as well as at work.
But his consciousness told him that she was no longer here with him.
She was no longer his.
Seeing her was already a blessing, let alone touching.
Five yearster, after such a long time, she finally stood in front of him alive again. She was no longer

an illusion. She would no longer disappear.
Taking a step straight toward ra, Darren felt that his heart was beating uncontrobly. Was it as
excited as him to see her again?
However, his ssmates came to him at this time and stood between him and ra. He could only
greet them one by one.
Darren didn''t know what he was talking about. He felt that his body and soul were separated at this
moment. His body was greeting people, but her soul had flown to ra, looking greedily at the person
whom he missed day and night.
He wanted to go over and asked ra how she had been doing.
Finishing the greetings, Darren couldn''t wait to meet his soul.
ra was a little flustered to see Darrening toward her, she wasn''t mentally ready to meet him.
She avoided looking at him subconsciously, yet finally, chose to face him.
They''ll need to face each other sooner orter.
ra was no longer the cowardly girl she was then, she had to learn to face everything.
"It''s been a while." Staring into ra''s eyes, Darren whispered as if afraid that a slight noise would
scare her away.
God knows why, his heart was racing but now in front of her, he calmed down. He spoke like they had
separated only yesterday.
"Yes, it''s been a long time." ra replied, with a slight smile, "How have you been all these years?"
"What about you? Are you alright?" Darren asked rhetorically without answering. He looked concerned.
"Yes, couldn''t be better." Feeling that the atmosphere was somewhat weird, ra made a joke.
"Is it?" Darren smiled wryly, not knowing whether to be happy or sad, "I''m d."
He decided to bury his thought deep in his heart. There was no need to bother her with it.
Nodding, ra responded slightly awkwardly. She didn''t know. After all, Darren was special, she
couldn''t be too courteous.
Darren didn''t speak either. The two fell silent for a brief moment. Then, Darren eased up and broke the
embarrassment.
"Would you like to go out for a walk?" Darren suggested, "It''s too noisy here, let''s take a walk on the
campus. I haven''te back for a long time. I was wondering if anything has changed."
"Well..." ra hesitated, she and Darren used to be lovers after all. She was afraid people would judge
if they went out alone.
"We''re still friends now, aren''t we?" Perhaps guessing ra''s concerns, Darren said. ra thought she
had thought too much.
"Well, I have to tell Sammy, wait a minute."
ra turned Sammy to the side. Hearing what ra said, Sammy took ra''s hand and shook her
head slightly at her.
"It''s all right, I''ll be back soon." Patting Sammy''s hand, ra promised that she would be careful.
ra insisted. Sammy had to agree to let her go.
She wasn''t worried about ra''s safety; Darren wasn''t a bad person in her heart. But the students
present all knew that ra and Darren used to be in love. If they saw them go out, they would gossip.
As expected, after ra and Darren left, people started to gossip.
"Isn''t ra married? Why did she go out with her ex-boyfriend? Is she trying to cheat?"
"You need to update your information, she divorced five years ago. I don''t think she is cheating. She is
just going back to her old lover."
"Darren isn''t married right now, right? Would he like a divorced woman?"
"Enough, they are just taking a walk. Do you have to be so mean? Also, she is divorced, so what? Is it
against thew?" Sammy eximed. She couldn''t stand the sarcasm.
The people who were gossiping all looked at Sammy with shame and anger. Sammy red back. They
dared to gossip no more.
Outside, ra and Darren walked to the school yground. Being there again, they became kind of
emotional.
"Remember this ce? We used to jog here. Once, we met a girl confessing to her crush, but..."
Halfway through, Darren couldn''t help butugh. It was really funny.
raughed too when she heard it, "How could I forget? I remember that the girl was wearing a
wedding dress, but when she finished her confession and nervously waited for the boy''s response, she
found that her dress was lit by the candles around her. She didn''t even notice it. I remember the boy..."
The two men smiled and looked at each other without saying anything else.
After a moment of silence, Darren turned to ra and asked, "ra, are you still in contact with
Horace?"
