Wonderful Fate
"Fate unfolds right here.."
2017, July 7th, China, Huaxia Country, Xiamen City, Baicheng Beach.
As the red sun set, the beach was bustling with people. Two girls, both wearing T-shirts and shorts, strolled barefoot along the shore, occasionally bursting into cheerful laughter.
"So comfortable, Lulu!"
"If it's so comfortable, just stay here for a few more days. The summer vacation is long, and you can return to Hangzhou a few days later!"
"No way! It's been a year since I went home. I miss my parents and my little brother. I must go back tomorrow!"
"I know, model good girl!"
Tian Lulu kicked up the rolling white waves with her foot, and her squinted eyes suddenly caught sight of a figure.
A young man stood quietly ten meters away, gazing towards the sea.
He wore a sea-blue short-sleeved shirt, dark blue trousers, with hands in his pockets, displaying both elegance and grace. His brows revealed intelligence and determination, giving off a unique and noble aura.
Tian Lulu's foot-kicked wave froze in the air, and she exclaimed to her friend, "Cindy, look over there!"
"What's wrong?"
"There's a handsome guy!" Tian Lulu excitedly replied.
Blue Nianyun turned to look in that direction, and her gaze also froze.
The man's contours were remarkably three-dimensional, his posture tall and elegant, emitting a familiar noble vibe. He seemed strangely familiar to her.
The man suddenly turned around, and the sea breeze tousled his short, soft hair, making it slightly messy. The cuffs of his shirt were slightly rolled up, carrying a touch of lonely elegance that made her heart ache.
"Wow, even his back is so charming!" Tian Lulu clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling.
The two girls stared at the man's retreating figure until he merged into the twilight on the horizon.
2018, September 30th, Canada, Niagara Falls Scenic Area.
Blue Nianyun leaned against the railing, with a smiling face and a scissor hand pose.
Tian Lulu held a phone, stepping back step by step, trying to capture the best scenery. Suddenly, the figures of two men entered the corner of the frame.
"So handsome!"
Tian Lulu widened her eyes and moved the phone. With a "click," she captured the two men.
Blue Nianyun didn't know what she was up to, walked over, and asked with a smile, "Lulu, what are you shooting?"
Tian Lulu couldn't wait to show her the photos on her phone. Blue Nianyun took a look and was momentarily stunned.
In the photo, two mountain bikes were parked under a red maple tree. Two men in close-fitting red and blue sports suits stood beside them. Their figures were slender and compact.
The man in the red sports suit smiled generously, holding a helmet in his hand. The man in the blue sports suit leaned against the bike in a somewhat lazy posture, inadvertently revealing a noble and elegant demeanor.
Blue Nianyun couldn't help but recall another figure, last summer, on Baicheng Beach in Xiamen, that unforgettable man...
"Wow, they're so handsome!" Tian Lulu cheered.
Blue Nianyun smiled, feeling a subtle emotion surging within her. Perhaps, fate happened in that moment, allowing her to encounter that captivating man once again.
2018, October 6th, Canada, Toronto.
For two consecutive weeks, Nan Sichen took advantage of his free time from writing his master's thesis to travel from Boston to Toronto. As his distant relative and friend, Jack naturally had to entertain him.
Early in the morning, Nan Sichen expressed his desire to visit the art museum in the city center.
Without hesitation, Jack accompanied him.
The museum was located near the Ontario College of Art, and on weekends, many students came in to explore.
They strolled for several hours with the crowds of students, admiring thousands of artworks from around the world.
However, the proud young master always had a casual pace, a lazy demeanor. Even the works of famous artists like Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet, Cézanne seemed to fail to capture his interest until he saw a girl...
The girl wore a simple outfit - a windbreaker, jeans, and sneakers. She carried a black backpack on her back, completely absorbed in appreciating an abstract painting.
She had clear, bright eyes with deep, dark pupils, beautiful and captivating.
With a height of around 1.65 meters, fair skin, graceful curves, and a fresh temperament, she exuded an appealing aura. The delicate side profile made young men passing by steal glances at her.
However, none of them were as unabashed as Nan Sichen, who stared at her with a pair of blue eyes filled with emotions and desires.
"Tsk, tsk!" Jack turned sideways, blocking Nan Sichen's naked gaze and whispered, "Lawrence, look at your eyes. You could devour people with them! After pretending for so many years, I thought you were the ascetic type. Turns out you like this type, innocent and sweet!"
Nan Sichen slightly lowered his gaze, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
After a while, he uttered a somewhat precious remark, "This girl, must be studying art!"
"Looks like it."
"I want to ask her out."
"Ah, ah, ah? What?" Jack exclaimed in surprise.
Nan Sichen turned and walked away, leaving behind a low, deep sentence, "Jack, figure out a way for me."
"Damn—"
