The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Sherman and Melody went to different universities after high school and lost contact with each other since then. She did not expect that her unrequited crush would show up in front of her again after all those years.

"We haven't seen each other for pretty long now. I heard you managed to get into a good university. How was your time there? Where are you posted now?" Sherman asked about her achievements. Melody did not even dare to look up at him. It was difficult for her to tell him that Helen did not allow her to work and instead asked her to stay at home to 'take care of her family'.

Melody breathed a sigh of relief when he changed the subject. "I don't know him, and I have no idea what I did to make him angry. He wouldn't let me leave..."

"Because you're beautiful," Sherman said, chuckling.

Melody raised her head and looked at him in disbelief, wondering if she had heard that compliment right. Melody felt her cheeks gradually getting hot, and she could not hide her smile. "You're too kind, Sherman. Everyone's dressed beautifully here, and I don't stand out as much as they do."
