"I just like Japanese culture, in fact, both my parents are immigrants, and I didn’t visit Japan for the first time until after I became an adult."
Gan Yuan wanted to ask more, but out of the corner of her eye, she had already noticed a figure darting past behind the greenery not far away.
Moses, he really came!
Her heart rate sped up, she looked away, and gazed at the cherry tree in front of her.
"It’s really beautiful!"
"Yes..." Qian Xueying’s gaze also rested on the cherry tree, "That’s why... I love spring the most."
By then, Moses had already passed through the foliage, looking left and right, noticing the two girls standing under the tree, he immediately ran over, came up behind her, and slowed down when he was three steps away, then walked up behind her step by step.
Drawing a breath, he slowly called out her name.
Gan Yuan turned her face, her gaze faintly rested on Moses’s face for a moment, then she lightly raised her eyebrows, looking towards Qian Xueying.
"Miss Qian, who is this?!"
"Gaia!" Moses frowned, extending his hand to grab her arm, "Don’t you remember me?!"
Gan Yuan raised her hand and wrenched her arm from his grip, stepping back warily a couple of steps, her gaze fixed tensely on his face.
Moses took a step forward, trying to grab her hand again, but she retreated once more, backing up to a tree trunk before she stopped.
"Sir, please show some respect!"
Her tone was indifferent and aloof, with a hint of anger as well.
Her attitude was unmistakably like one affronted by a complete stranger.
Moses’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
Qian Xueying promptly walked over, pulling on Moses’s arm while giving Gan Yuan a comforting smile, "Let me introduce, Miss Gan, this is Mr. Moses, he’s a friend of mine..."
Before she could finish, Moses had already shaken off her hand and stepped forward again; Gan Yuan retreated another two steps, her back bumping into the thick cherry tree with nowhere else to go.
The man reached out again, grabbing her wrist.
"Gaia, if you keep this up, I’m really going to get angry!"
Gan Yuan’s face darkened, her dark eyes meeting his gaze without flinching.
"I don’t understand what you are talking about. However, I must remind you to let go of me immediately, otherwise, I’ll get angry too!"
Moses’s pupils shrank.
"Mr. Moses!" Qian Xueying stepped forward again, placing her hand on his arm, "Please, calm down!"
Moses didn’t pay attention to Qian Xueying; his gaze was still fixed firmly on Gan Yuan’s face.
The cold indifference in the eyes of the girl before him as if she had never known him.
Could it be that he really mistook her for someone else?
Those brows, those features, that voice... even the way she furrowed her brow when she spoke, everything was the same as in his memory, he couldn’t possibly be mistaken.
But why, why was she treating him ?
If she really was his Gaia, she should have been overjoyed to see him. What happened—could it be she doesn’t remember him?!
Gan Yuan exclaimed in a low voice.
"Gaia!" Moses took a deep breath, softening his voice, "You don’t remember, I’m Moses, Moses!"
A crisp slap rang out across Moses’s face.
Qian Xueying gasped in shock, Moses froze for two seconds, then his anger was etched into his eyebrows.
"Get away!" Gan Yuan forcefully jerked her arm back, sidestepping to create distance, "Your flirting skills are seriously poor!"
