Chapter 16 On The Way
The wind on the Bank of the river was blowing. James and Gail didn''t say a word. They just enjoyed
the moment offort and the wind brought to themfort. For many years, they had not
experienced such a boundless experience of the cool breeze at dusk.
At the same time, both of them had their own thoughts. How they wished they could tell each other all
the past at this moment, but it was the first time they had been out. How could they bear to break this
beautiful moment like this. Neither of them wanted to add sadness to each other because of their bad
past. No, they couldn''t.
"Gail, don''t call me Mr. James after work. Just call me James," James said seriously.
"I can ''t do that. Anyway, you are my boss. I can''t vite the articles."
"It doesn''t matter. We are of the same age. I have gained my current status just because my father is
rich. But you don''t know how lonely I am. I don''t have a friend. Everyone sees me as if I am a demon.
No matter where I am, others always greet him with a smile. I have been used to these hypocritical
faces, but I don''t like them. You will never understand how helpless a man who loses his freedom is. "
James said directly what he thought, what he hadn''t said in years.
"Mr. James, if you don''t mind, you can treat me as your friend and I''m willing to help you out." Gail said
firmly.
"What? Do you want to be my perfect partner?" James said with a wicked smile.
Their hearts were so imperceptibly closer together.
"Can I call you Gai from now on? I know your friends call you this way. Now that we are friends, I
should call you as they do."
"How do you know that my friends all call me Gai?" Gail asked curiously.
"When I called youst time, I heard the girl next to you calling you Gai. And your ssmate Hoyle in
London Hoyle calls you Gai, too. "
"Okay," Gail suddenly understood.
There was another moment of silence. Thest wisp of sunshine was also hiding behind the mountains
unconsciously. In the night, the NF City looked extraordinarily tempting. However, before tonight,

James and Gail did not feel like that. They even wanted to escape from this city. But who would believe
that such both of them loved this city together. Looking at the colorful neon lights and the cars on the
street like running water, they were extremely happy. They were d that there was someone in the
world who could apany each other.
Suddenly, an unknown poem came into Gail''s mind
When our world grew old
Would we still stand at the corner of the street listening to the noise when it is quiet
Would you still smile in the cold wind
Laughing at the clumsy moves of those old men
Laughing at the unknown jokes
We bore no ill will
It only proved that there was no evil in the world as he thought
When our world grew old
We would never jump from the te again
But we had to be shoulder to shoulder
Maybe you would me me for my slow steps
however
I didn''t want to hear yourints any more
I only remembered an electric wire pole that was left behind when I was young
"Let''s go to the park to watch the olddy dance." Gail suddenly said.
"Ah! It''s nothing to watch. Do you want to join them? " James said with a smile.
"What? I know there is a park ahead. There is a very funny olddy who dances there every day. her
dancing is very good!" Gail blinked mischievously.
"Really?" James asked in disbelief.
"Why should I lie to you? Just go, or else the olddy will go home." Gail tugged at James'' sleeve.
Staring at Gail''s snow-white cheeks caused by the street lights, James wished he could give her a hug.
"Since you are so persistent, I''ll fulfill your wish today. Let''s go." All of a sudden, James felt the world
was full of love.
The clearing river in the night was quiet, but the park was as lively as the day. The olddies dancing in
the square gave people a kind of lively look. James and Gail were snuggling together tightly, although
the night in NF City was not as cold as they imagined, they seemed to like leaning together quietly, the
night which gave them an unprecedented warm.
James stole a nce at Gail standing next to him. Gail had a mysterious smile on her round face.
James didn''t know if it was a smile of joy, or it was because the dancing olddies. Anyway, there was
no one in the world as beautiful as Gail tonight in James''s eyes.
"James, look at that olddy!" Gail unconsciously called out the name "James". Perhaps Gail had
called in her heart many times.
"What did you just call me? Say it again!" James purposely made things difficult for Gail.
"What? I didn''t say anything. You misheard me." Gail blushed.
If there was no love in the world, then tonight was no doubt that James and Gail would get married.
Tonight, they only saw each other. As for others, other things, they all happened by ident, no one
knew. They could feel the temperature of each other, they could feel the breath of each other very
clearly, and they could feel the strong and trembling hearts of each other because of nervousness.
"Gai, let''s go back. It''s gettingte." James spoke the word Gai on purpose.
"James, I don''t want to go back!" Gail said unwillingly.
"What? It''s such a cold night. Do you want to be the arctic bear?" James teased.
"l haven''t been out like this for a long time. James, thank you." Gail nodded her head firmly.
"If you have time, I can show you around somewhere else."
"Really? Don''t lie to me. I''m serious. " Gail said with a goofy smile.
"Don''t worry. I won''t lie to children," said James, James stroking Gail''s long hair.
"What? I''m not a child. I''m an adult, okay?" Gail lengthened the word "adult" on purpose.
"Really? I didn''t see that. Have you be the most beautiful woman in NF City?" James could read
Gail''s mind.
"You..." Gail pretended to be silent since she didn''t know what else to say.
" There won''t be another night like this, right?" Gail was afraid that tonight''s sweet moment would be
gone.
Maybe time would change everything, maybe they both were in love with each other. If time stayed at
this moment, Gail would rather everything would be like this night.
