Chapter 518 Look at the Ring
Kisa somehow had climbed onto a large boulder, still holding the half stalk of green foxtail which she had bent into a ring.
“Gilbert, look at the ring.”
She waved the ring made from the green foxtail at him, smiling with her eyes looking like a crescent moon, just as she had when he first saw her.
He liked her smile best when she was young; those clean eyes looked wonderful as a crescent moon. But it had been a long time since he last saw her smile like that. Under the dim streetlight, that clean smile seemed to overlap with the one in his memory, causing his heart to pound involuntarily.
“This is the ring I made. Is it beautiful?” Kisa put the straw ring on her ring finger, and then spread her fingers to show him.
Gilbert pursed his lips and only spoke after a long while. “It is beautiful.”
“Yeah, it is beautiful.” Kisa seemed happy. She rubbed the straw ring on her finger and said, as if to herself, “I made one for you at that time, but you threw it away.”
Gilbert frowned and shook his head subconsciously. “I didn’t.”
Gilbert frowned and stared at her with a serious face, as if trying to determine from her drunken look if he could trust what she said. ‘If she cared for him the most, why did she always get so close to Jensen when she was young? It is a lie. It is all a lie!‘ He shook his head quietly and tried to fight back the feelings that were welling up inside him. ‘She has hurt me twice. Enough is enough! She doesn’t love me, and I shouldn’t continue to fantasize about her.‘ He had sworn before that he would never again grow feelings for Kisa.
He looked at her sad face and said in a bitter voice, “Yes, I don’t like it. Everything you give, I don’t like it.”
“I know, because you hate me. So you don’t like it.” Kisa smiled, but that smile was filled with a sense of brokenness. She walked toward the edge of the boulder as she spoke.
When he saw she was about to fall off, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously yelled, “Watch out!”
