Chapter 17 Can I Sing?
The man smiled, picked up the mobile phone on the tea table, looked at Elizabeth and asked, “Do you have any dishes that you don't eat?”
Elizabeth shook her head subconsciously.
The man ordered food over the phone. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“I didn't have dinner either. Let's have dinner together.”
The man hung up the phone and said with a smile.
Elizabeth seemed to understand that the man did not want to take her ticket money, so she stopped asking.
After the food was served, the man took out his own chopsticks. He accidentally saw the woman sitting opposite him looking at himself with embarrassment.
Perhaps feeling he was special, the man put away his chopsticks, picked up the disposable chopsticks and ate with Elizabeth.
Elizabeth said hurriedly, “It doesn't matter, you don't have to care about me. You can do whatever you want.”
She said with an embarrassing smile on her face.
The man smiled and gracefully picked up the disposable tableware for dinner.
Elizabeth secretly looked at the man while eating.
His demeanour was aristocratic and he did not fit to the surroundings. It was a “superior soft sleeper” carriage, but it still made him look condescending.
The gap between people may be here.
After eating, the steward took away the dinner box on the coffee table. Elizabeth and the man did not have much conversation.
Elizabeth was bored and took out her phone to pay games. Ciara Yip, her friend suddenly sent her a WeChat.
‘Elizabeth – I broke up, comfort me!’-- Ciara.
Broke up?! Elizabeth was slightly startled and sent a “hug” emoji.
‘He cheated on me! I caught him having sex with my college roommate in his rental apartment!’ -- Ciara.
Elizabeth was silent after seeing the message.
Something similar happened to her, too.
Conor dated her and the other woman. And he thought it was normal, which really broke her heart.
Elizabeth also needed to be comforted, so she didn't know how to comfort Ciara.
In fact, what happened to her was even more tragic than what happened to Ciara.
Then came another message from Ciara..
‘Tragic, right? But it happened to me.’ -- Ciara.
‘Ciara, don't be sad, it's not worth shedding tears for the man who cheated on you!’ - Elizabeth.
This sentence was for Elizabeth herself too.
‘Elizabeth, I want to hear you sing me “I'm happy.”’ -- Ciara.
Elizabeth was good at singing. She sang better than a singer in karaoke. She was a Miao girl, who could sing and dance.
‘I'm on the train now, so I can't sing it to you!’ - Elizabeth.
‘I really want to hear you sing, comfort me! Elizabeth, please, I'm breaking my heart.’ -- Ciara.
Elizabeth looked at the small request from Ciara. She took a glance at the man sitting opposite on the sofa working with a laptop.
“Sir, May I sing?”
Elizabeth asked shamelessly, and decided to sing for her friend.
