Since Tina moved away, I had been helping to trace the whereabouts of Xin, and to adapt to the new identity, to audition new roles… thinking carefully, I had not seen Tina for half a month!
The address she left was near her university, so I took a taxi downstairs.
Arriving near the school, I realized the truth that I had no sense of direction was exposed again. I looked for a long time but didn’t find where it was. Since this was not a weekend, she should be in school.
So, I went straight to the school gate and sent a message to her.
Soon, the phone rang, and she asked with excitement, "Mary, why did you come here! I’m free now in the library. Wait for me!"
I simply told my location and boringly kicked the stone by the road.
Soon, a lively figure ran towards me, followed by a boy of her age.
Tina hugged my arm and asked happily, "Dear, why did you come? No work today?"
I patted her hand and joked, "Someone didn’t care about me at all, she even hasn’t given a call so far after she moved out. So, I have to see her in person!"
She felt a little embarrassed, sticking her tongue and argued, "Aren’t you always busy? Aren’t you afraid of me disturbing your work?"
How could a girl in love remember to call me? I certainly understood it, so I didn’t argue with her anymore but laughed and pointed at the boy next to her, "Well, don’t you introduce him to me?"
The boy stood out forwardly before Tina could reply, said, "Hi, I’m Jack, Tina’s boyfriend."
I looked at the young man. He was about 1.8 meters tall, not particularly handsome, but was an active sunny boy indeed. Standing with Tina, the perfect match.
I warned him jokingly, "Jake, right? I have just one sister, if you dare to bully her, you’ll be sorry."
He hurried to promise, "Trust me. I will take good care of Tina and will never let her suffer a little grievance." Then he muttered in a low voice, "In fact, I’m the one being bullied…"
"Really?" I looked at Tina questioningly, and before she had time to answer, I added, "Good job!"
They couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Tina hugged me happily and said, "I know you love me the most!"
After getting to know each other, I asked them, "What do you want to eat? I treat you!"
Jack hurriedly said, "it’s my treat! I heard that you were an actor. In order to let her enter a good university, you gave up many opportunities to shoot in the field. I should treat you!"
I smiled, "Deal! I don’t know what’s delicious around here, you lead the way!"
Tina pulled Jack to the side and they discussed for a long time finally decided to eat hot pot.
We entered the restaurant, and they kept asking me to order. Actually, I was not good at ordering, so I picked some dishes that I liked then let them continue to order.
Tina looked at the menu, frowned, but didn’t order. Jack did so and said to me, "Let’s eat first, and order if it’s not enough. Ok?"
Only then did I realize that I was used to spending so much money that I completely forgot they were still students! The cost of living was limited, and the prices of the dishes I ordered were not cheap, which were probably beyond their living expenses.
So, I called the waiter immediately and handed a card. "Don’t look down an unknown actor, I still have income. I treat you today, just order what you like!"
Tina bit her lip without a word. Perhaps Mary did live a frugal life before and there was no extravagance in the diet due to the limited income.
I had to continue, "Dear, in fact, I come to see you this time because I’ll go out for a while."
"What?" she looked at me in amazement, "Where are you going?"
"Now Jack can take care of you, so I have to go to work," I explained, "I took a new play and I’ll enter the cast in few days. So, it will be a long time that we can’t meet each other."
Soon came the dishes. Jack began to put them in the pot, and asked casually, "What kind of play?"
"Xiao Feng Cuo," I replied, thinking about that Mary rarely received important roles before, added, "It’s female two!"
Tina looked shocked and asked excitedly, "Is the director Sam? Is that the fantastic crew?"
I nodded, and she was more excited, shouting, "Oh, amazing! Congratulations!" then she was afraid that Jack couldn’t understand and explained to him, "Do you remember the play with the highest ratings last year? It was by Sam!"
After that, Tina turned to me, "Nice! You’ll soon be popular! By the way, is the hero Jeffery?"
Before I could answer, she hurried to ask, I could even see the sparkling starlight in her eyes. "Oh~ Jeffery. So handsome! I love him! Can you ask for his signature for me?"
"Hey, Tina! How can you say that you love other boys?" jack complained while keeping putting food to her bowl with love in his eyes.
Seeing the sweet boy and girl, I was a little envious. Being young was so great!
