Chapter 1391-1400
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 1391-Corinne did not seem perturbed. “Hurry up. Which song would you like to listen to? I’ll play it for you so it won’t feel awkward when we don’t have anything to talk about during the call.” Jeremy remained composed and unaffected. Even her shallow breathing was comforting to her. He replied, “Let’s listen to ‘Bridge over Troubled Water’.” Corinne used her music player to search for the song and found several by different artists. She asked, “Who’s the singer?” Jeremy replied, “Simon and Garfunkel.” Music soon filled the air as Corinne played the track. After listening briefly to the song, she suddenly remarked, “I never felt such a significant generation gap
between us before this, but I feel it now that I’m listening to this song! We listen to songs from different eras, haha…” Jeremy stopped typing on his keyboard. He seemed to take some offense to Corinne’s remark. “Are you bothered by my age?” Corinne sighed. “There’s nothing I can do about it even if I am. You being older than I am is a fact. We can’t turn back the clock.” Jeremy’s expression soured, and the atmosphere in the car became heavy. He did not usually care much about his age, but he did so when it came to Corinne.
His silence elicited a chuckle from her. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you upset?” “No,” Jeremy replied curtly.
Corinne then said, “Your song choice is a little dated, but it’s pretty nice, especially the lyrics. It’s quite fitting for the moment.” Jeremy did not respond to her remark. Instead, he asked, “What songs do you like to listen to? Choose one that youngsters like you enjoy.” “You probably won’t enjoy the songs I listen to,” Corinne replied.
“You don’t know that. Put one on,” Jeremy insisted.
Corinne proceeded to play a song that was chock full of rapping, leaving Jeremy at a loss.
As expected, Jeremy could not quite appreciate that sort of music. The two of them continued to share their music preferences and made small talk as three hours passed.
