I nodded.
He helped me up and stood on the skateboard,
and gave it a push.

www the guidance, we were able to do some
tricks, and the other kids clapped.
My face was red.
It was the first time that I was this close to a
stranger.

Right then, Mark ran over and looked at both of
us “You guys know each other?”
“Huh?”
The man extended his hand out to me.
“Alex Qi, nice to meet you, I hope I didn’t leave
you with a bad impression.”
I looked at him in shock, realizing that this was
Alex Qi, the person that I was arranged to
marry.
Mark winked at me. “His hand is still out.”

I grabbed his hand.
“Nice to meet you, Ashley Zhou.”
He didn’t mind and asked “What do you want to
do today? Amusement park, shopping, or
movies?”
His calmness made me feel more relaxed.
“Anything.”
He paused and thought “Ok, I will arrange a
schedule, if you want to do everything, it might
be late.”
I was confused, but it has been a while since I
last relaxed, so I didn’t clarify.
We went to the amusement park and Mark
came with us, with his friends as well.
There was a big group of us and Alex was

I noticed that the group was scared of Alex and stayed away from him if he stared at them.
After two hours, Alex realized that I wasn’t
having that much fun, and took me away.
After lunch, we went to watch a movie.
A child kept kicking my seat.
Alex politely asked the parent to watch the

The parent ignored him.
Alex smiled, and waived in the air.
After two minutes, he sat next to the child and
started talking to the empty seat.
I don’t know what he was talking about, but the
child started crying and didn’t want to continue
watching the movie.

I laughed the whole time.
When Alex came back, he said “Laugh if you
want, it’s hard to hide it.”
I mouthed one word to him.
“Cool”
It was already dark after buying all the things.

I thought that Alex was going to take me home,
but he took me to the beach instead.
Mark and his friends were grilling and setting
up tents.
We laughed and talked together.
They took out fireworks when the moon was at
the highest point.

Mark patted my head. “Make a wish, Alex said
that a cake is too boring, fireworks are better
and closer to the stars,”
I looked back at Alex and smiled, making a wish
to the sky.
I didn’t let Alex take me back.
He already spent the whole day with me and
should go back to rest.
While I was in Mark’s car, I asked about the
group.
Mark was silent for a moment and told me that
Alex’s parents were dead, and he left a big
company behind.
Alex had to deal with those greedy relatives and
worked with his grandpa to try and hold on.
When Alex grow up, he became violent and was
