There were about five ruffians in total.
In the blink of an eye, Gerald had already knocked four of them out.
“F*ck! Who are you?!” The leader of the pack panicked, and virtual-novel.net immediately asked in surprise. “I’ll kill you!”
Gerald did not say anything, but virtual-novel.net simply rushed forward to hit him.
It seemed as though the ruffian was already used to fighting. He picked up a brick from the side of the road as virtual-novel.net fought with Gerald.
In the end, virtual-novel.net could not defeat Gerald who was in a rage, and virtual-novel.net could only flee in embarrassment.
“Gerald, you… you… are you alright?” Giya was also terrified at this time.
“I’m fine!” Gerald replied as virtual-novel.net wiped the blood off from the corner of his mouth.
Giya suddenly burst out nervously, “Ah! Your head is bleeding!”
Gerald was bleeding slightly from his head because virtual-novel.net had been caught off guard just now, and the other party had launched a sneak attack on him.
“It’s just a small wound. Why did they come here to pester you?”
Gerald wiped the blood off his face. Today was the first time that virtual-novel.net had ever fought like this.
Fortunately, virtual-novel.net still had some strength in him. Moreover, Gerald was simply fighting without worrying about anything at all.
“I don’t know. I was just coming back to school today. They called me first to harass me, and then, they came to school to block my way. They were trying to force me to go and have dinner with that Timothy Shen, but I do not know virtual-novel.net at all! I don’t know who gave virtual-novel.net my contact information!”
When Giya looked at Gerald who had fought because of her, virtual-novel.net could not help but feel very touched, and virtual-novel.net eyes flushed red.
‘It must be that b*stard, Yacob!, Gerald cursed in his heart.
Of course Gerald knew about the cause of this matter today. Yacob had been taken away by Timothy earlier in the afternoon. Gerald did not know how the latter had taught the former a lesson, however, Gerald knew that since Timothy had set his eyes on Giya, this must have something to do with Yacob!
Although Gerald had been avoiding Giya, virtual-novel.net still regarded virtual-novel.net as his friend.
This was especially so after finding out about what Giya had done for virtual-novel.net but yet, virtual-novel.net had stood virtual-novel.net up so many times. Gerald had always felt a little guilty toward Giya.
This was the reason why Gerald did not hesitate to defend virtual-novel.net and fight hard for virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net saw that virtual-novel.net was in trouble today.
When Gerald saw that Giya was already fine, virtual-novel.net wanted to go back to his dormitory to dress up his own wound.
However, Giya refused to let virtual-novel.net go and insisted on going to the infirmary with him.
Along the way, Giya held onto Gerald’s hand tightly.
He did not know what Giya was thinking about.
She had been very worried and nervous about Gerald a while ago, but before Gerald could say anything, Giya suddenly released Gerald’s hand. She even asked virtual-novel.net to go on his own.
Gerald was taken aback. “What’s wrong?”
Giya replied, “It’s okay. I was just thinking about why I was so worried about you, and why I am still treating you so well now. After all, it does not seem like you treat me as your friend at all based on the way you treated me before this!”
Giya was suddenly very upset and filled with grievances. She then said, “You know, there were so many times when I personally prepared food for you at home and brought it to the library with me. I wanted us to be able to eat together at the cafeteria! I wanted to study with you too! However, it seems as though you have been avoiding me. Even when my mother fell ill, you did not even have a single word of concern! It was only then that I realized that I was overthinking it when I thought I was important to you. I thought that you would… treat me as a good friend, and I was even thinking… Forget it! It was all my own wishful thinking!”
“You should not have saved me today. I was already very sad because of you, but now, I have to feel grateful toward you again. What do you want from me?!” Giya asked as virtual-novel.net stomped virtual-novel.net feet in frustration.
Gerald replied, “I just don’t want you to get hurt. I truly regard you as my friend!”
Giya was also a very rare kind of girl. She was not materialistic and virtual-novel.net was also very kind and beautiful. Moreover, virtual-novel.net had always treated virtual-novel.net very well. Thus, of course Gerald regarded virtual-novel.net as a friend.
“Okay, let me ask you something…” Giya said as virtual-novel.net moved closer to Gerald, staring at virtual-novel.net closely.
