"It's not me..." Felix really wanted to say that, but somehow, under Silvia's gaze, he could not say that to defend himself.
In a momentary trance, Felix felt that Silvia was still the same familiar Silvia. Her eyes were clear and bright. She was still the Silvia whose mind he could see right through at one glance.
The wonderful days they had together flashed across Felix's mind like a movie.
"Felix, it's Silvia's birthday today and we'll go over to her house to celebrate her birthday. Make sure you wish her later, okay?" Mrs. Xavier took Felix's hand and said. That year, Silvia was only two years old, and Felix was only four years old. However, he could still remember clearly what happened that day.
On that day, he went to Silvia's house with his parents to attend her birthday party. That was the first time when Silvia called him "Felix" with her soft and tender voice. It was so memorable that he had never forgotten about it up till now.
Silvia was a late bloomer, so she had started talking a little later than her peers. She was almost two years old when she finally called her parents. At that time, no one, including Felix, had ever expected that the third person she would call would be he himself.
That was how the two of them started getting closer to each other. From then on, as long as there was Silvia, Felix would most probably be around too.
At that time, their parents would say that Felix was like a knight who protected Silvia. As long as she needed him, he would definitely appear by her side and overcome all her difficulties.
Later, when Felix went to primary school, Silvia was still in kindergarten. Even so, Felix would still take the time to visit Silvia and accompany her. He would read and paint with her.
Two years went by quickly and Silvia had also entered primary school. On her first day of school, besides her parents, Felix was there with her too.
Since then, Felix would wait for Silvia to go to school and go home together. He would always be by her side and teach her anything that she did not know how to do. When she was too lazy to study, he would also keep her company.
The same happened until they had entered university.
Silvia was a pretty girl. When she was in junior high, many boys started approaching her, but she was never interested in them. However, things were different with Reagan and Lemur, because she had never treated them as men to start with.
During junior high, they had gone through quite a few things together. However, what Felix remembered the most was the time when he had sprained his ankle.
Although Silvia was just a sixth-grader at that time, she immediately squatted down the moment she noticed his sprained ankle. She said, "Come on up, Felix. I'll carry you to the infirmary."
He was already a grown boy, but she was very thin. How could she actually carry him? However, Silvia insisted on carrying him, and Felix could not convince her otherwise. Hence, he thought of letting her carry him so that she would give up later.
However, he had never expected she could actually carry him all the way to the infirmary. When she handed him over to the school doctor, she was so tired that she slouched on the chair, trying to catch her breath.
Similarly, when they were both in senior high, they had grown into matured teenagers who finally understood what affection between a man and a woman was. However, they maintained as friends, cherishing the pure friendship they shared.
Their houses were not far from school, so both of them would go to school together on Felix's bike. Silvia would sit behind him and talk to him throughout the journey. Although she was very chatty, Felix thought that everything that came out through her lips was extraordinarily fascinating.
On the other hand, if Silvia happened to be quiet, Felix would feel odd and he would take the initiative to talk to her. This was how the two of them were in their daily lives. It was simple yet sweet.
