Chapter 170 - The Only One Stuck In Time (2)

He was never one to believe in love at first sight. However, the very first time he saw her, he truly wanted to give thanks to the miracle of that encounter. While she was watching others play basketball outside the field, he was watching her from inside the field. That very moment when their eyes made contact was one that he would never forget in this entire lifetime.

From there on forth, every single action or smile of hers, every single moment of their time together, was something that he could not forget no matter how hard he tried!

Buying that crystal ring had her oozing happiness out of every single fiber of her body. He was prepared to wear it for her, but she rejected it.

“Not wearing it now. What’s with this wearing rings and all when we’re so young? When you’re going to propose to me next time, I’m not going to ask for any diamond ring or anything–this will do. Since I like this ring so much, if I see it, I’ll definitely agree to marry you without a second of hesitation.”

She looked at him with a charming smile as her eyes curved up like the moon.

‘Proposing to her with a crystal ring? That was way too miserly, wasn’t it?’

He was going to propose to her with the best that he could give. However, he still kept the ring first nevertheless. After all, she was only year three in high school. Indeed, she should not be wearing rings.

He poked her on the nose. “Did I say that I was going to marry you?”

She pursed her little pink lips. “You don’t want to? What am I going to do all alone then?”

“Even if I don’t marry you, you wouldn’t be alone.”

“Why not?”

“You’re going to remain single your entire life if I don’t marry you?”

“That’s right. I only want to be together with you. Even if we separate in the future, I’m not going to look for any other boyfriends. I’m going to remain single for my entire life if you don’t marry me,” She gave that promise so easily.

Who was the person who said that men were the only ones with sweet nothings?

Between them, she was the only one who would always hoodwink him with sweet nothings.

Hoodwinked till he gave off a solemn promise just like a fool. “Seems like I have no other choice but to marry you then. And if I don’t, you’re not allowed to marry anyone else.”

“Right, right, right, right! You must marry no one else but me!”

She hooked her hands around his neck and looked at him, her charming eyes filled with a threatening glint. “If you’re going to marry anyone else, I’m going to go wreak havoc on your wedding with a huge belly while bringing another kid with me. I’ll have that kid call you daddy while hurling accusations at you as I rub my big belly, telling everyone you’re a trashy man who would abandon his wife!”

Because of her playfulness, he chuckled.

“No laughing allowed! I’m really serious here! You’re mine. Anyone who tries to snatch you from me, I’ll go at her with my life!”

Back then, she was so serious in her tone that he had believed her–all of it.

‘Yes, she’s mine and I’m hers. There’s going to be no one else in my entire life. Even if we break up, she’s still the only one!’

That was how he had thought.

And just like that, his stance had not changed in the past two years–he was still stuck in time.

As for her?

She had requested for him not to look for anyone else even after breaking up and that she would do the same.

But eventually, she still did look for someone else.

She had just claimed that she didn’t have a boyfriend a couple of days back, and today? She was already meeting his parents.

She was so cheerful, so happy.

Could he blame her?

Given their relationship right now, on what grounds could he blame her?

Which couple hadn’t given any wild promises off the top of their heads back when they were fiercely in love?

Thinking about how he had gotten angry and livid earlier on out of nowhere, it came across to him how childish and unreasonable he was being. But when he thought back to the scene of the two of them teasing one another, a fiery flame burst forth in his heart.

It was a throbbing pain... just like back then!
