    Chapter 143 Nichs, Do You Want To Know Who He Is? (1)


    “It’s nothing. It’s a little hot, so I’ll eat itter,” Nancy said.


    As she lowered her head, a sweet smile tugged at the corners of her lips.


    She remembered that during high school, couples at school often went out to eat together. As she had


    never been in a romantic rtionship, she didn’t quite understand love in the beginning.


    However, she would frequently see young couples sharing a meal, whether it was a pizza or a te of


    pasta. Sometimes, the guys would feed the girls, and the girls would light up like fireworks. Those


    couples were affectionate and sweet.


    Being young and innocent at that time, Nancy believed that love was as simple as sharing a meal. The


    couple would be willing to eat each other’s leftovers.


    She thought that being alone was happiness. As she grew older, she realized how naive and beautiful


    her thoughts were during that time.


    After she grew up, she finally understood how manyplexities and calctions were involved in


    adult love.


    Nevertheless, she continued to believe that love should be beautiful and sweet stubbornly.


    Even though she had been hurt by love many times, she still held onto this belief.


    While she and Nichs had long lost the chance to spend their lives together, at least for this moment,


    she felt that they were just like the young couples around them..


    It was as if they weren’t adults, hadn’t been married, and hadn’t been divorced.


    They were like a pair of innocent and sweet high school students enjoying the sweetness of love to the


    fullest.


    This was all it took for Nancy to feel content.


    They both ate therge te of spaghetti very slowly.

    Towards the end, the pasta was all gone, leaving only a bit of sauce.


    Nancy had already eaten her fill.


    She had just put down her fork when she saw Nichs pick up a spoon and scoop up the remaining


    sauce from the te.


    At that moment, Nancy was as shocked as she was surprised.


    To her, Nichs didn’t seem like the kind of person who would have the leftover sauce after sharing a


    te with someone. “Isn’t sharing a te with me already difficult for him?” she thought.


    After a moment of surprise, she asked, “Are you still hungry? Should I order another portion for you?”


    “I’m full.”


    Nichs quickly understood and exined, “I just felt that sharing a meal with you from the same te


    is a beautiful feeling. In the future, we might not have this opportunity again, so I want to cherish it.”


    When they finished their meal and left the small restaurant, it was already dark, and the stars lit up sky.


    The clear weather made the stars blink like countless dazzling gems, creating a beautiful view.


    the


    Nancy said with nostalgia as they reached the school gate, “I really miss this ce. I wish we could go


    inside.”


    “Give me a moment,” Nichsmented.


    He then quickly left.


    He jogged towards the security office by the gate and seemed to have a conversation with the security


    guard. Momentster, he returned.


    As he was running for a bit, he breathed slightly faster when he told Nancy, “It’s done. We can go in.”


    “What?”


    Nancy was genuinely surprised and didn’t react for a moment.


    After a while, she gradually regained her senses and asked, “Did the security guard agree to let us in? I


    heard they have strict ess controls here and don’t allow unrted people inside.”


    In reality, Nancy had tried to enter the school many times, but she was always stopped at the gate.


    “We can go in now.” Nichs then added, “But I might need to hold your hand to do it.”


    “Why?”


    “Because…” Nichs paused. His deep, pleasant voice slowly sounded in the night. “I told them that


    my wife and I are alumni of this school. We met here ten years ago, and today is our wedding


    anniversary. My wife really misses this ce and wants to visit for an hour. I assured them we’d leave


    within an hour. And I gave each of them a pack of cigarettes.”


    After hearing this, Nancy couldn’t help but exim, “Are you sure we should be lying about something


    like that?”


    “It’s not entirely a lie; there’s some truth to it,” Nichs retorted.


    Her heart suddenly pounded. “Does he know that I first met him at this school?” she wondered.


    She lifted her head and asked in a voice that almost trembled, “You knew?”


    “Knew what?” Nichs was puzzled.


    “I mean, did you remember when we first met?” Nancy tried to rify halfway through, fearing she


    might not be expressing herself clearly. She changed her words in her nervousness. “Do you


    remember the first time we met?”


    “The first time?” He thought for a moment. “Wasn’t the first time we met when you came to the Sallow


    Residence with the bracelet to find Grandpa?”


    Nancy shook her head silently in the dark. It seemed Nichs still didn’t remember.


    He hadpletely, utterly forgotten it. He didn’t remember anything about the time they first met.


    “And when did I ever forget anything?” Nichs asked.


    Shaking her head, Nancy replied, “No. It was my mistake.”


    As they entered the school, Nichs held Nancy’s hand.


    The night breeze was a bit chilly, and Nancy’s small hand was cold. But with Nichs holding it in his


    large palm, it quickly warmed up.


    They continued holding hands until they entered. By then, Nancy’s hand was much warmer.


    “Where do you want to go?” Nichs asked.


    “The sports field.”


    This time, she answered decisively and directly. It was because she first met him on the sports field.


    As they walked to the field, Nancy felt slightly excited.


    Ten years had passed, and the field was still the same as before, with the same scenery and the same.


    location.


    Many things in the school changed over the years. Walls had been renovated, new teaching buildings


    were constructed, and even the library and cafeteria had moved. The field, however, remained familiar.


    As she stood there, memories from the past flooded into her mind like a tide.


    It was like watching a movie where every scene, every minute, and every second was so clear and


    real.


    Suddenly, she felt like everything had happened just yesterday, but in reality, ten years had passed.


    Time had gone by so quickly.


    In the blink of an eye, she had known him for a decade.


    A tear rolled down the corner of her eye unnoticed in the darkness, and Nancy discreetly wiped it away.


    Although it was dark, Nichs/noticed it.


    At that moment, his heart sank continuously.


    It felt like it was sinking rapidly into a bottomless abyss.


    He struggled against it, but his chest felt suffocating.


    He suddenly remembered the question he had asked her about her having a special fondness for the


    school.


    How had she responded?


    She said, “Because of nostalgia. The most beautiful and happiest years of my youth were spent here.”


    Is her happiness and joy solely attributed to the man she holds dear in her heart? Ever since he


    became a part of this school, it has infused warmth into her experience and illuminated her entire


    youth… Is this truly the reason?


    Nichs could no longer endure the suffocating sensation in his heart. Although he had initially made a


    promise to himself not to ponder or inquire about it, he found himself unable to resist any longer as he


    directly asked, “Is it because of him?”
