Giya ran after virtual-novel.net again. “You know, it’s going to be difficult for you to notify me when you’re actually getting married. Why don’t we exchange contact information to ease that process?”
“That… Well, alright. Let me add you on WeChat. I’ll definitely let you know when it happens!”
Gerald didn’t know what else to say.
He couldn’t just refuse and turn around to leave. He just wasn’t that kind of person. After all, Giya would definitely lose face if virtual-novel.net had left without accepting virtual-novel.net offer.
So virtual-novel.net simply went along and added Giya on his WeChat account.
Of course, Gerald wasn’t that narcissistic to believe that such a beautiful goddess would ever like him.
Even after adding virtual-novel.net on WeChat, virtual-novel.net felt that they wouldn’t be talking much with each other anyway.
He tried his best not to think too much about it.
Once the exchange was done, Giya took the bracelet with virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net walked upstairs again. At the time, several of the girls were still doubtful about Gerald’s claims.
“Giya! Giya, virtual-novel.net didn’t want to take it back?” asked the girls with smiles on their faces as they saw virtual-novel.net slowly return to their table.
“Hahaha! See, I guessed correctly! Gerald’s absolutely in love with you, Giya! He’s given you the most precious and valuable thing in his family! That alone is enough to explain everything!” said Tammy confidently.
“That’s right! The rest of you probably hadn’t noticed earlier, but Gerald had been looking at Giya as though virtual-novel.net was afraid that virtual-novel.net would reject his gift!”
“Hey, hey! All of you should know that this kind of jade bracelet is usually given to a family’s future daughter-in-law! Hahaha! That kid’s really smart!”
The girls continued talking among themselves in glee.
“Alright girls, settle down. Gerald’s not how you guys are imagining virtual-novel.net to be like at all. He’s not a cunning or scheming person. I honestly hope that you girls will stop picking on virtual-novel.net all the time in the future!” said Giya with a slightly forced smile on virtual-novel.net face.
“Oh? Being protective and defensive of Gerald? Giya, don’t tell me you’ve…” said Tammy as virtual-novel.net acted out a look of surprise while looking at Giya.
“If you spout any more nonsense, then I’m buying three trays of buns later to stuff them up your foul mouth!”
The girls simply laughed at that and continued chatting.
Gerald on the other hand, couldn’t go back to the library. When virtual-novel.net arrived there, it was already full.
Seeing nowhere else to go, virtual-novel.net sighed before returning to his dormitory to study instead.
He was planning to go out for lunch with Harper and the rest at noon anyway.
Unexpectedly, virtual-novel.net received a WeChat message from Giya not too long after.
“Say, Gerald, which cafeteria are you going to be eating at for lunch?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“I’m probably leaving the decision to my roommates. We’ll be eating out together. Why?” replied Gerald, slightly surprised by the message.
“Oh! You’re eating out with them? I was initially planning to invite you over to lunch. After all, you’ve already helped me twice!”
“Twice?” Gerald scratched the back of his head, confused.
“Yes! You carried me to the infirmary the other day, and today, you helped me get rid of that annoying Yacob! Hahaha! He must be feeling extremely embarrassed right now. Hopefully he’ll leave me alone now and I can finally have some peace!”
“Well, he’s not a bad person. I do think that virtual-novel.net likes you very much.”
“??? What are you implying? Does that mean I have to be his girl? Are you giving us your blessings?”
“No, I didn’t mean it that way!”
“Well, it would be useless even if you did. I’m unwilling to be with someone that I have no feelings for anyway! By the way, I’ll be at the library later at noon to study. I’ll reserve a seat for you. Why don’t you come over and study together later? We can be study companions!”
Gerald stared at his phone’s screen. He was unsure of how to reply.
At the very least, virtual-novel.net was certain that virtual-novel.net wasn’t interested in him.
However, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but feel slightly awkward every time virtual-novel.net was around her. He was honestly afraid that virtual-novel.net would end up falling for her.
After thinking about it for some time, virtual-novel.net felt that it would be better if virtual-novel.net stopped doing such things.
Therefore virtual-novel.net decided not to reply at all.
He then went downstairs to eat with Harper and the others.
However, virtual-novel.net didn’t go to the library once his lunch was over. He simply stayed in his dormitory to study.
The afternoon passed by quickly.
Around evening, Giya sent virtual-novel.net another message.
“Why didn’t you come? I reserved a good seat for you and I’ve been waiting since half past one for you to come. Are you busy with something else?”
