Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 318

Chapter 318:

I saw two acquaintances on a bench on one side of the square. Sitting some distance from each other, Aaron and Charlene were quietly observing the people in the square.

We said hello and sat down next to them. Suddenly, some men in skating shoes appeared in front of us. I looked closely and saw that one of them was Lean.

They were skating so fast that the crowd parted to make way for them. Several girls were clapping and screaming, mesmerized by their expert moves. They circled the square several times. I knew Lean must have seen us, but he deliberately ignored us.

Suddenly, my nose itched and I sneezed.

“Are you cold?” Derek put his arm around my shoulder. Aaron turned to give you a look.

“Let’s go to a coffee shop for a drink, my treat. It’s freezing outside.” He led us to a coffee shop next to the square.

As soon as we walked in, the people in the coffee shop greeted Aaron and he responded with a smile.

We found a table by the window, took off our jackets and sat down. The air conditioning was on.

I sat next to Charlene, while Aaron and Derek sat across from us.

“Do you come here often?” asked Charlene.

Aaron put his coat on the chair and rolled up the sleeves of his beige sweater.

“I used to work here.” Both Charlene and I were surprised.

He smiled as if amused by our reaction. He rested his hands on the table and interlocked his fingers. “Well, I was a young guy. Even though I wasn’t paid well, I enjoyed everything about my job. I was motivated all day long.” ”

You’re still young,” Charlene said as a blush painted her cheeks. She looked away.

Aaron smiled. “A lot has changed over time. Even though I earn more now, I don’t feel motivated anymore. Working has become mechanical.”

Derek passed Aaron a cigarette, but Aaron didn’t take it. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his pack of cigarettes.

“I’ll smoke my own cigarettes. I can’t get used to yours.”

Derek lit his cigarette and smiled.

“We eat and sleep every day. That’s mechanical behavior too.”

Aaron smiled too. “But that’s different. Even if it’s mechanical, you have to do it to survive.”

I looked out the window and saw a lot of people bustling outside the square, but I couldn’t hear the noise. The glass was like a big TV playing a silent movie.

An hour later, we left the café. As soon as we left the café, I noticed that there were some people gathered around a spot in the square. They were watching something with great attention. We approached and heard a faint shout from inside.

“How cruel it is! Call the police! Call the police!” a middle-aged woman shouted from the crowd, shaking her head.

I had no intention of seeing what was going on, but stopped when I saw the familiar face in the middle of the crowd .
