Chapter 151: Asking for Love
Ouyang Mengmian stared at the door that had just been closed, as if she wanted to see the world on the other side through it. As time passed, her restless heart gradually calmed down, but there was still a trace of fear lingering in her heart.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. At this moment, she realized an astonishing fact: she might have fallen in love with the conductor whom she had only met once. Not only that, from all indications, the conductor seemed to have the same feelings as her.
This sudden realization is not groundless.
First, Susan's undisguised hints had given her enough clues; second, the vague throbbing deep in her heart made it impossible for her to ignore the existence of this feeling; finally, and most importantly, their conversations, those inadvertent eye contacts, and his behavior and attitude towards her - in these tiny details, she clearly felt an equally strong emotional fluctuation.
Everything pointed to the same answer. This was not her wishful thinking or illusion, but something that was really happening. Once this idea emerged, it became more and more firm, like the brightest star in the night sky, clear and dazzling.
However, the emergence of this emotion was so dramatic. It was like a thunderbolt that set off a fire in the earth. An accidental encounter could actually trigger such a strong emotional reaction! Whenever Ouyang Mengmian thought of this conductor, her heart would beat faster involuntarily, as if there was an invisible force pulling her and making her unable to resist.
At this moment, Ouyang Mengmian felt an unprecedented emotional impact. She understood that she had been captured by this emotion and could not extricate herself. The other party's identity, occupation, and background were no longer important at this moment. All she cared about was the sincere emotion that welled up from the bottom of her heart.
After realizing this, Ouyang Mengmian was surprised and a little bit expectant. She knew that she was not someone who was easily moved, but this time the feeling was so strong that she could not ignore it.
Ouyang Mengmian couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling both happy and a little nervous. She was happy that she could meet someone who made her heart beat faster in this vast sea of people; she was nervous that this relationship came so suddenly and she wasn't even ready.
She shook her head slightly, as if this could get rid of those messy thoughts from her mind.
Ouyang Mengmian said to himself silently: "That conductor looks quite good, maybe he already has a girlfriend... Maybe this is just an accidental meeting between us, and our fate is probably limited to this journey... No matter what, I absolutely cannot let myself indulge in this unreasonable emotional whirlpool..."
Ouyang Mengmian was in an extremely heavy mood. During this process, she thought she had successfully convinced herself. But who would have thought that when her eyes inadvertently drifted towards the closed door of the lounge, the peace in her heart instantly collapsed.
At this moment, she clearly realized that she could no longer face the conductor as calmly as before. She had her own hopes and calls in her heart - she hoped to meet him again, and she longed for more opportunities to get to know him better!
Susan had been paying close attention to Ouyang Mengmian's movements. She saw Ouyang Mengmian's entanglement and reached out to pat her hand to encourage her: "Oh, my Miss Ouyang! Don't look so sad! What's the big deal! It's just love at first sight, so go after her if you like her! At the age of twenty, we have plenty of time and energy to test love and truth! If it's not suitable, just change it!"
Ouyang Mengmian looked at Susan's teasing eyes and said helplessly, "Susan, stop teasing me. What do you think love is? Rotten cabbages all over the street, can you just throw them away or pick them up as you like?! Even if love is like this now, I won't do this..."
Seeing Ouyang Mengmian finally speak, Susan burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, I got it. Our Miss Ouyang will never give in to animal instincts... But seriously... Mengmian, are you really not attracted to him?"
Ouyang Mengmian looked at Susan's eyes, which suddenly became serious, and fell silent. Her silence was more powerful than words at this moment, and undoubtedly gave Susan a clear answer.
Susan gently patted Ouyang Mengmian's shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay. The reason I kept asking you about your attitude towards him is that I just didn't want you to miss it. No one can predict the relationship. Even if you like him now, it doesn't mean what will happen in the future. But if you give up like this, all you will have left is regret. What I want to tell you is that if you really like him, then be brave enough to pursue him; if it's just a temporary illusion, then let it go with the wind!"
Ouyang Mengmian looked at Susan's serious and sincere eyes, and the heaviness in her heart seemed to be lifted slightly. She was silent for a moment, feeling the warmth and encouragement in Susan's words, as if she had found a warm light in the cold night.
"Thank you, Susan." Ouyang Mengmian said softly, with a hint of emotion and determination in his tone, "You are right, I can no longer avoid my true feelings. Love is indeed unpredictable, but if I miss this opportunity, I am afraid it will become an irreparable regret in my life."
She took a deep breath, as if to encourage herself: "I will become braver and take the initiative to pursue my own love. Even if we can't be together in the end, at least I won't regret not having tried."
Susan smiled and nodded slightly, showing that she understood Ouyang Mengmian's mood at the moment. She gently took Ouyang Mengmian's hand and playfully winked at her with her left eye: "I fully support you, Mengmian. Don't worry, you will never be alone in your journey of courage to run towards true love - as your best friend and matchmaker, I will do my best!"
