9A few days later, I sent a WhatsApp message to Jake after consideration."Are you feeling better now?"It took him more than ten minutes to reply."Where?"Where?Where else could it be?His head! He had a fever!Since I couldn't explain it on WhatsApp, I might as well call him.This time, he answered instantly."Didn't the doctor tell you to take your medicine on time? Do you even listen to him?" I asked in a low voice."Yes." His voice was a little muffled.It was quiet on his side, so quiet that it was weird."Huh? Yes?" I asked, "That's quite serious you know."He didn't say anything and lowered his voice. "Let's talk later.""Why later? Don't delay this..." I was even more anxious than him."Jake, your girlfriend?" A boy's voice suddenly came from the other end of the line."Why didn't you tell us you have a girlfriend?""Is she beautiful? Ask her out to have fun.""Yes, invite her out!""Jake's girlfriend, we're going..."Before the person could finish his
13The next day.I was woken up by a knock on the door.It was not loud, but there was a rhythm to it.I was really speechless."Who is it?" I went to open the door with messy hair.It couldn't be my mom. They'd be gone for two days and wouldn't be back until tomorrow.The delivery? Or a security guard?The person outside the door remained silent.I opened the peephole and took a look. I was so scared that my sleepiness disappeared.Sean!What was going on?How did he know where I lived?Oh, I remembered now. On National Day, my parents asked him to come over for dinner. I sent him the address and my whole family waited for him for a day.However, he didn't come.Then, he told me that his patient's condition was unstable.Of course, I knew it was an excuse.Forget it...I opened the door and calmly looked at him. "Why are you here?""Can I come in for a while?" He was wearing a suit, and he looked gorgeous.This was the first time I had seen him dressed so formally.
15When my mom came back and saw the gift boxes on the table, she asked me who sent them."Lucky draw from the supermarket."As for Jake, we didn't text each other at all.After staying at home for a few days, I went back to school.One night, Jake suddenly sent me a message.It was a video.I was confused.I clicked on the video and saw a room full of people. A naughty boy was running around with a piece of clothing in his hand, shouting, "There are female clothes in brother's room!""How do you know it's female clothing?" another girl asked."My mom has this dress, but my dad doesn't."Everyone in the room burst into laughter in an instant."Put it back!" The low male voice belonged to Jake.I was rendered speechless once again.Hahahaha...I even got secondhand embarrassment.Oh dear Jake, you brought another girl home and your nephew exposed you. It seemed that you have such a day as well!Who asked you to be such a playboy?The next second, Jake's sent me another
18I sat on the sofa and played my games, glancing at the kitchen from time to time.He stood there with his phone in one hand and a spoon in the other...Pft!He didn't know how to do it, so he wanted to Google it.Before my game was over, he came out with a plate of shrimp fried rice."Stop your game. Eat." He put the rice in front of me."Wait a minute." I was so done. My opponents were going to strike my turret down.I felt my toes tightening due to the adrenaline rush, and I didn't even feel like eating."Eat!" He came over and took my phone.What?!"Jake, give me two minutes. It's a critical moment now. I'm gonna lose!" I tried to grab my phone but he lifted his hand up so that I couldn't take it.I really wanted to cry."Jake, I will definitely be reported by my teammates." I hugged him tightly and begged for mercy.The only time I begged for mercy was at the most critical moment of my game when my cell phone was taken away.The feeling was no different from killi
20I couldn't hold back anymore when I heard his snort.My heart was beating wildly."I'm going to bed. I don't want to play anymore," he said to me suddenly."Oh." I felt like my emotions were on a roller coaster.He went out, and I couldn't sleep all night.The next day, he stayed in my rental apartment while I went to school for an experiment.Knowing that he was waiting for me in the rental apartment, I felt a little uneasy.Suddenly, I was filled with anticipation. I wanted to go home as soon as I finished my experiment.We didn't have to do anything. Just playing games together was fine."Bella, are you dating someone?" My classmate asked."Huh... No.""No? Then why do you stare at your phone all day long?""Do I?"I quickly put away my phone, afraid that someone would see me looking at the photos that I secretly took of him.In the photo, he was cooking and I secretly took a picture of him. It was quite blurred, but I smiled very brightly when I looked at it.But
24I had complained to my best friend about what happened recently, but she kept shaking her head when she heard that."Your mentor's son is only 19 years old. He is indeed a little too young and has an unstable temperament.""Right?""But there is a problem.""What's the problem?""What's so good about you? Your figure is just average, but he still came to flirt with you. Is it true love? Hm...""Shut up!"Was she really my best friend? Why would she judge me all the time?I stood in front of the mirror and leaned to one side to take a look at my body. Then, I instantly became discouraged.My best friend was right. From the side, it was indeed difficult to tell whether I was a woman or a man.Jake seemed to be very busy in the next two days. He was not at home when I went back and he didn't come back until I got home."Where did you go?" I sat on the sofa and asked him when he returned."Took a walk outside.""Oh."He must have a girlfriend. I was sure of it.Who would
18"You think you're any better? You were so drunk at that time that you blacked out!" My cousin retorted."Bella, let me tell you, he has double standards."When he broke up last time, he drank alcohol like drinking water, so he got wasted. I had to drive him back.""Huh? When?" I simply asked.My cousin pondered for a moment and said, "A month ago, I think."A month ago?I suddenly remembered that night at my mentor's house. I went to the wrong room after I finished using the bathroom and then went to Jake's room.At that time, he was extremely drunk.It turned out that he drank so much because he was broken up.That night, he must have used me as an object of venting his feelings.In fact, it seemed that I made the first move, but now I felt sad and a little pretentious.I sighed and said, "Oh, I see.""What kind of nonsense are you spouting?" Suddenly, a bottle of wine was thrown at my cousin.My cousin suddenly stood up and shouted, "Jake, what's wrong with you today
30As soon as we walked over, my junior's expression changed when she saw me and Jake.I felt that she seemed to know something.Mr. Holland frowned when he saw Jake."Brat, where have you been staying recently?"With a fearless look on his face, Jake pulled up a stool and sat down beside him. "On the streets.""You! Why didn't you come back? Do you know how worried your mom is?" Mr. Holland was pissed, but he couldn't really lose his temper because we were all here."Don't worry. You've seen me now."......"You look fine. You didn't starve to death outside?" Mr. Holland scolded him again."Mm, ya," Jake replied perfunctorily, but his gaze would drift to me from time to time.I immediately lowered my head and avoided his gaze.Damn it, why was he looking at me?"When will you come home?" Mr. Holland asked again."Didn't you say you're sick of seeing me? Why should I go back?" Jake looked carefree."Who said that?" Mr. Holland took a deep breath and said, "I had a slip o
21As soon as I walked to the stairs, I met Charley, who was holding two cups of coffee.What a coincidence!"Joy." As soon as I turned around, he stopped me."Hi." I had to stop and say hello to him.He walked upstairs, trying to hide the coffee in his hand.The coffee should be for Jane Lynch.Thinking of that, I was amused.I used to buy coffee for him."Aren't you going to study at the library? Why did you leave?" he asked in a tone as gentle as ever.I lowered my head in embarrassment and said, "Well, I have something to do. I gotta go now.""Okay." He stepped aside to make way for me."Goodbye," I said and walked downstairs without looking back.When I was about to turn the corner, a voice suddenly came from behind me. "Are we... still best friends?"I stood rooted to the spot.I had mixed feelings."..." I didn't reply and left directly.Were we still best friends?I was just having a lot of thoughts.In the past three years, I had been hanging out with Charle
17When I grew more and more nervous, I finally arrived at college.I got out of the cab and watched him walk over. I became even more nervous.Would he kiss me again?Would he be upset if I reject him?I was completely new to that, while he was too overwhelming. I was scared when I thought of the coming kiss.But I was his girlfriend. I couldn't say no to his request, could I?After thinking for a while, when he was approaching, I was so scared that I closed my eyes.I waited for a few seconds, but the thing didn't turn out to be as I had imagined it. I slightly opened my eyes.I looked up and saw him looking at me playfully."Were you thinking about it in the cab?" he asked me with a smile."Huh? No." I quickly returned to normal."Then, excuse me..." He pointed to the road nearby.Huh???So, was I in his way?I had thought that he was going to kiss me, but...It was such an embarrassing situation for me."Okay." I quickly stepped aside to make way for him.He put h
14"Enough?" I didn't come back to my senses until I heard his sexy voice."Enough." I swallowed hard."Liar..." He stared at me, then lowered his head and kissed me.Help!My nerves, which had just relaxed, were on edge again in an instant.After a few seconds, he finally let go of me.He stared at me, then looked down, unzipped my bag, groped for my cotton pad for few seconds, took it out, and wiped his lips himself.After wiping, he stuffed it into my hand and turned to leave.Did he heave?Bad boy.My heart was still beating fast.The place was already buzzing with people. I didn't dare to look around."Are you not leaving?" He walked a few steps and found that I didn't keep up with him. He turned to look at me helplessly.He probably thought that I was a troublemaker."Yes." If I didn't leave now, there would be more people watching me.I hurried along after him.He didn't hold my hand, nor did he especially wait for me. Instead, he walked side by side with his bu
11After that, my hands had been trembling while playing poker. His words kept echoing in my mind: "Can I eat you?"After two more games, I could barely keep my eyes open.After losing all my chips, I stretched lazily as if I had accomplished something important."Can... can we stop here?" I asked in a low voice."Keep going.""I'm sleepy."Looking at them in high spirits, I was speechless."Sleepy?" A boy looked at me and then at Julian. He was about to say something but swallowed the words."Okay, okay..."The boys immediately understood and stood up.Huh???They must get the wrong idea."No... you get the wrong idea.""We see, we see..."I felt so depressed and helpless.I looked back and found Julian still as calm as ever. He was not going to make it clear at all."So, get lost now!""Okay, okay, okay. You're really hoes before bros, huh?" The boys had rushed out before they could take their coats."When will you pay us?" one of the boys asked desperately."When
7Five minutes later, I walked out of the room with Julian, clutching a blood-stained T-shirt. Seeing that, his friends were all stunned.But the next second, they looked at each other and smiled."Julian, you... come on too strong, don't you?""Yeah, too short to change clothes.""Spend less time on basketball. That will wear you out...."...I stood there awkwardly."Get lost. Cut the crap." Julian hit them with the basketball.He was so aggressive that I was too scared to make a sound.When he was leaving, I remembered the reason why I came here.I hurried up to him. "Julian."The gang of people stopped. Julian did not even turn his head as he impatiently asked, "What's the matter?""Yesterday, I... You... It was just a misunderstanding. I'm sorry that you broke up with your girlfriend..." I recited the draft of my apology.Before I finished reciting it, he turned his head slightly and said, "Broke up? With who?""I don't know. Maybe the one you met in the bar?" One o
Author: Xian De Wu Liao De Xian Nü I went to watch the basketball game with the boy I had a crush on.When we appeared on the monitor above, he refused to kiss me.On impulse, I turned around and kissed the bully in my college next to me.The bully's girlfriend broke up with him for this. And he asked me to get him a new girlfriend as compensation."May I?" I asked with trembling lips.Julian Joule glanced at me and smiled, "Good, but I'd love to make love to you as well."What???1Everyone knew that I had a crush on Charley Johnson.Except for Charley himself.On the day of the basketball game, the camera focused solely on Charley and me.At that moment, my mind went blank.According to the rules, the two people appearing on the large screen had to kiss each other.All the spectators present encouraged us to kiss each other."Kiss!""Kiss!"...I lowered my head, too shy to look at him.I imagined the wonderful moment when he kissed me.I imagined that my unreq
23As soon as I went out, I was stunned.There was a Rolls-Royce parked at the door. I saw the car's plate number. If I remember correctly, it belonged to my father, Giovanni.Ten minutes later, Samuel invited Giovanni to the back room and gave him a cup of coffee.Giovanni sat opposite me and whispered, "Soph, come here."I looked at Samuel, who was staring at me and didn't want me to go there.I had no choice but to sit still.Giovanni didn't panic, as if he had expected it. He waved his hand and the bodyguard behind him took out a suitcase and put it on the table.Then, Giovanni reached out and pushed the suitcase over."Here's 1.5 million dollars. Now give me my daughter back."Samuel didn't say anything. He glanced at me, took the suitcase, opened it, and glanced at it."There's no need to talk about money," Samuel said in a soft tone."What? Is it not enough? Don't go too far!" Giovanni got angry all of a sudden."Dad..." I whispered to my father."Soph, you don't h
21In the days that followed, I lived a full and purposeful life.It seemed that I suddenly found the path that I would be going in life. I must enter a university and become a better person, then I could ask him if we could be together.However, my foundation was very bad.I worked very hard to get into university.I didn't even have time to think about whether I was stupid or suitable for academics.I completely drowned myself in practice questions.Every night, my mind was full of test questions, and I didn't even have time to think about Samuel.At first, I went home once a week. Near the end of the university entrance exam, Samuel thought that it would be too tiring for me to come back and forth and too much time would be wasted. Hence, he came to the county to visit me every week.Sometimes he brought Fatso and the others, and sometimes he was alone.He always said that he would pass by my school to do some errands, so he stopped by along the way to visit me.I wondere
19When I went back at night, I was surprised to see that Samuel had learned how to cook.In the past, he would either order a takeaway or heat a dollar-slice frozen pizza. It was his subordinates who sometimes cooked nice meals.He made my favorite food, which was meatloaf and fried chicken."Mr. Carter, when did you learn to cook?""It's not that difficult.""If it's easy, then why haven't you learned it in the past 31 years?""It's not that I didn't learn it. It was unnecessary.""Is it necessary now?" I asked him with a smile.He looked at me and said, "Hmm... It doesn't seem necessary."I hugged him from behind and said, "Of course it's necessary. You made all my favorite food, so that means you've waited for me to come back to eat."He grabbed a fork and pointed it at me. "Let go of me. Who said that they were for you?"I held his waist. "No, I won't. My heart told me.""If you don't let me go, believe me or not, I'll—""Will you hit me?" I looked at him with a smil
