Luh Wei was a very good friend of Cheng Suâs in her previous life, a handsome guy who loved gourmet food and traveled all over the world, a traveler and foodie who loved life. Without his gold-rimmed glasses and in fashionable casual wear, wouldnât the man in front of her be the spitting image of Luh Wei?
The man Cheng Su called Luh Wei was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Lady, itâs true that my last name is Luh, but my name is Luh Kai."
Cheng Su came to her senses, her face heating up with a bit of embarrassment, "Iâm sorry, I mistook you for someone else. You look a lot like a friend of mine, and he also has the surname Luh."
After saying this, she gave a bitter smile. Traveling through time and reincarnation seemed to be clichĂ©d plots in novels and TV series. But when actually faced with it, could there really be someone else who had traveled and been reborn just like her? Especially since it was her friend, wasnât it too much of a coincidence?
Luh Kai smiled and said, "Itâs not surprising for people to look alike. I heard that you want to buy this watch, right?"
Cheng Su nodded and added, "I just suddenly saw it and felt like buying it, but I donât have a watch coupon on me."
She hadnât lied with that statement; she had only come out to wander aimlessly, to vent her emotions, and the sudden sight of the watch had sparked the urge to buy it.
"If you really want to buy it, I have two coupons here for you," Luh Kai said with a smile.
Cheng Su looked again and thought about Qi Taiguoâs birthday approaching. She hadnât given him a proper gift yet. For a man, not having a watch wasnât very convenient, so she nodded.
Seeing her nod, Luh Kai instructed the sales clerk and noticed that Cheng Su kept sneaking glances at him. He couldnât help but smile and invited her to sit at a nearby table.
"It seems I really do resemble your esteemed friend. I notice youâve looked at me many times," Luh Kai said as he poured her a cup of tea and smiled again, "Please wait for a moment. The sales clerk will soon have the paperwork ready, and all you need to do is pay and take the watch."
Cheng Su nodded, unable to resist her curiosity and asked, "You donât have a twin brother or anything, do you?"
He looked so much like him, but the man in front of her seemed to be around thirty, just like Luh Wei was in her previous life. Even if they were non-identical twins, decades had passedâLuh Wei would also be old by now, wouldnât he?
Realizing this, Cheng Su couldnât help but laugh at her own naivety. Was it because she felt wronged that she was especially hoping for someone from her past life to appear in this one?
Her mood fell.
Seeing her sudden change of mood, Luh Kai jokingly said, "I do wish I had a brother or something. Sadly, my mother passed away after giving birth just to me!"
Cheng Su hurriedly apologized.
"Itâs okay," Luh Kai said as he refilled her tea, "You seem to miss your friend so much. Could it be heâs not in the city?"
Cheng Su absently fingered the handle of her teacup, as if reminiscing, regretting, sighing, "Heâs not here. Heâs in a faraway place. Iâm afraid I wonât be able to see him again!"
So far away that she couldnât reach, nor could she go there!
"If you canât see him, then keep him in your thoughts. Or, you could write him a letter?" Luh Kai suggested unconsciously.
Write a letter?
Cheng Su was startled, her heart pounding erratically. No, there was no need for letters. If she was still here in a few decades, might she see him again?
It was 1985 now. Waiting thirty more years, could she see the past again? Could she also see herself?
Like a ray of light piercing the fog, Cheng Su suddenly felt a sense of anticipation. She looked at Luh Wei sincerely and said, "Thank you!"
Luh Kai was puzzledâhe didnât think he had done anything worth thanking, had he?
