I was stunned .
What do you mean , waited so long ? David and I had met on a blind date recently .
He was smitten with me and proposed after only a couple of dates .
He was introduced by my parents friends , so they were naturally thrilled .
I wanted to escape my past , and he felt strangely familiar , so I agreed .
He took out a picture .
Look who this is .
I took it , and it was a group photo from a company outing at my first job .
Standing behind me in the picture was David ! Even in the photo , his gaze was fixed on me .
Could it be … ? You were … the IT guy ? I had been so focused on Josh that I hadnt even remembered his name .
And in his standard issue programmer attire of plaid shirt and glasses , he had blended in with the crowd .
He nodded .
I added you on WeChat several times before you finally accepted .
I tried to ask you out .
But you always seemed busy .
く Then you changed jobs , and I quit to start my own business .
I couldnt find a reason to contact you again .
I followed your updates online , but they were all about another guy .
When I found out my aunt knew your mom , | immediately asked them to set us up .
No wonder I always felt a gaze on me from the opposite workstation , but when I looked , there was nothing there .
My face flushed .
He was right .
My online presence had been filled with Josh .
I had forgotten that I could also shine when I focused on my work .
Sorry , Ill delete all of that .
He hugged me , his voice low and gentle .
No need .
Everyone has a past .
As long as your future is with me , thats all that matters .
I just hope you can open your heart and leave a little space for me .
I hugged him back .
Then youll have to work hard to fill my heart completely ! Under the bright moon , we laughed and played in our new home , happy and content .
I saw Josh again at our post wedding brunch .
He looked thin and lost .
His eyes lit up when he saw me , but the light dimmed when he saw David beside me .

He avoided my gaze and left .
His friends followed , looking apologetically at me .
Ashley , Josh hasnt moved on .
Dont mind him .
Mike looked embarrassed .
We were really out of line before .
We hope you can be the bigger person and not hold it against us .
I waved my hand , neither forgiving nor condemning .
It was all in the past .
Holding onto it would only hurt me .
Later , I heard that Sarah went back to Josh .
She even offered herself to him to win him back .
But Josh kicked her out before she could even finish undressing .
It was a messy scene , and Sarah held a grudge against him .
She then found a thug boyfriend who beat Josh so badly he was hospitalized for months .
When I heard , I only felt that the world was a giant circle .
People always regret what theyve done , but time moves on .
After that , I never heard anything about Josh again .
Until a few years later , David and I returned to our alma mater for an alumni event .
TUI all alu IL .
I excitedly dragged him to the cafeteria for my favorite tomato noodles .
Hey , can I get extra sauce , please ? David chuckled , nuzzling my nose .
You little foodie .
The masked worker in the back of the cafeteria paused .
He looked down , handing me a bowl piled high with tomatoes and eggs .
I thanked him with a sweet smile , but he looked away .
He looked familiar .
David noticed my hesitation .
Whats wrong? Nothing , just feels like Ive seen him somewhere before .
Walking under the trees , David suddenly asked , Do you think he regrets changing your く somewhere before .
Walking under the trees , David suddenly asked , Do you think he regrets changing your college application ? He had recognized him too .
The cafeteria worker was Josh .
I hugged Davids arm .
Are you jealous ? Hardly .
I should be thanking him .
If he hadnt made that mistake , I would never have met you .
I nodded .
Youre right .
Im grateful to him too .
Grateful that he taught me to cherish the present .
Come on , lets go see our old classrooms .
