4182: The Other Side 151

The Other Side 151

Natalia was extremely uncomfortable with the stuffiness, so she said to Hua Jin, "I'll wait for you just outside, okay?"1

"Just outside…" The actor looked at the shop entrance hesitantly and felt uneasy.

Natalia said, "Don't worry. I won't wander off. Besides, you said it won't take long."

The actor contemplated for a moment, then nodded. "You promise me you won't wander off. Huh?" If she were to wander off and get lost, he would lose his head to Gong Jie.

Thus Natalia walked out. The actor watched her as she went to sit on the bench outside the shop and then continued to wait in the queue.

Natalia waited outside the shop, feeling bored. The wait was particularly long and equally boring. She thought she had been waiting for more than ten minutes and walked to the digital clock in the hall to check. She realized it had really only been five minutes.

Ding dong.

"Attention, passengers bound for the Maldives. Flight DH965 is now boarding. Please ensure you have your…"

"Dang, too late. There's no time!"

Natalia heard panicky voices coming from not too far off. Before the girl could react, she was knocked to the ground by a tremendous impact. The knitted hat she was wearing flew off.

Natalia fell to the floor, her back slamming painfully onto the marble. Pain shot through her.

The person who hit her was a middle-aged woman. She was obviously about to miss her flight. Even after she had knocked the child over, she only took a glance and did not stop to help. Without taking a second look, she hurried away.

There were whispers around them. Witnesses of the accident were secretly angry at this woman for being so uncouth. Even if she had knocked an adult over, she should have stopped to ask if the other party was fine, let alone a child.

How uncouth!

Natalia realized that the "culprit" was already far away and felt rather indignant at being run over this way. She felt as if the bones in her back were about to shatter from the force of the collision.

She stood up and looked at the knitted hat that had fallen to the ground some distance away. She was about to walk over and pick it up when a youth beat her to it.

Natalia stood frozen, silently studying the gentle youth before her. The youth was wearing a snow-white shirt that accentuated his fair skin. He was slender and looked to be in his teens. His fine, neat black hair framed the outline of his thin face.

He turned to face Natalia, who was standing on the spot. He smiled as he approached her, and was about to speak when he saw her purple eyes. He was stunned!

He'd seen many children of mixed descent, they had blue eyes, green eyes, amber eyes, even jet black eyes, but he'd never seen such beautiful purple eyes. Purple eyes, pure, like beautiful gems.

Natalia's eyes flashed as they looked at the knitted hat that he was now holding. She immediately reminded him, "Little Big Brother, this is my hat …"

The youth immediately snapped out of his daze, but still he could not take his eyes off her. Until Natalia looked annoyed and snatched her hat from his hand.

"Why do you keep staring at me?" His stare made her a little uncomfortable. He was looking at her as if she was an alien!
