Sean “No, how could I dare to have a problem?
He even sent an emoji of raising hands in surrender
Sean “If someone else pursued Summer, you wouldn’t mind, right?
Garrett suddenly said, “What are you going to punue her?
Sean replied with an animated gif saying yes.
Charlie: “Hahahaha.
Garrett “You are very brave.”
No one believed Sean.
Ethan saw the gif but didn’t take it seriously. He typed, “Sure, go ahead and pursue her
With the goal achieved, Sean put away his phone.
He thought, I wonder whether Ethan will regret it.”
“Honey, thank you for spending the happiest birthday with me.”
At nine o’clock in the evening, Ethan accompanied Hailey to the entrance of the dormitory building
Hailey
held his hand and was reluctant to let go.
“Just thinking about soon having to part with you, I feel so reluctant.” She smiled sweetly, revealing her two small canine teeth. Hailey leaned in close to Ethan’s face, playfully pouting “Why are you so calm Don’t you feel reluctant to leave me?
Hailey had clear eyes and a sweet and gentle smile. Her voice was tender and coquettish, like a gentle breeze.
Ethan looked at her face. He reached out and gently rubbed her head, saying “You have class tomorrow. You’ve been tired all day. Go back and rest early.”
Hailey pursed her lips, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but in the end, she obediently responded, “Okay, then I’m leaving” It took half an hour to send Hailey back.
The direction to go home was on the left. However, as Ethan drove out of the University of Technology, he suddenly thought of the back view photo sent by Sean, and he drove to the right.
Halfway, a drizzle started to fall, and droplets of water condensed on the glass window, blurring the colorful lights into a beautiful
In the rearview mirror, a cashmere plaid blanket was thrown on the back seat. Ethan thought it was Hailey who forgot to fold
Ethan remembered that Summer used to often complain that the air conditioning temperature in his car was set too low, and it felt chilly when she got in.
After several unsuccessful complaints, she deliberately took Ethan to the mall and bought a light brown checkered blanket. After they broke up, that blanket was neatly placed on the back seat and remained unused. Until today, it was unfolded again. A sudden sound of the horn brought Fihan back to his senses

After a pause, he casually asked, “Didn’t you say that Summer was also here just now? Why didn’t I see herit
Did you come all the way here just to see her? Sean swayed his call glass.
Ethan’s expression turned slightly indifferent.“It’s just a coincidence that I wanted to come over and have a drink. Since we’ve bumped into each other, couldn’t I ask about her?”
Sean shrugged and said, “I bumped into her in the corridor. She just came here for a drink. She should have gone back.”
Ethan remained silent, but his expression was noticeably relaxed.
He thought. Sure enough, Summer was not accustomed to this environment”
He put down his glass and stood up.“I have to go to work tomorrow, so I’ll leave now. I will pay for today’s bill.”
Sean watched Ethan’s back, and his gaze changed slightly.
After a moment, he sighed lightly and said, Tm sorry, man.”
Summer and Raina stayed in the private room for less than an hour, and Raina fell into a deep sleep because she had drunk half a bottle of

Summer also drank a little and couldn’t drive, so she called a designated driver, who took them to the apa her rented house.
Halfway through, it started pouring rain, and it was already late. The taxi driver only agreed to drop her off at the entrance of the alley.
Summer didn’t bring an umbrella. She planned to run back in the rain.
“Sumner.”
A clear voice came from behind, stop

Summer nodded, She did plan to do so

Summer frowned and asked, “What about

Actually, she wanted to say that it was fine for them to use the umbrella together.
“I’ll go to the store to borrow one.” After saying that, Jack ran to the opposite restaurant and borrowed a collapsible umbrella from the owner.

Summer was surprised. She thought, “The owner of this shop has a peculiar temper. How did Jack manage to borrow it?”
“Before, there was a slight problem with the electrical circuit at his house, and I happened to pass by and help solve it.” Without

Summer stared at his hack for two seconds, then followed him.
The streetlights were dim, and because of the rain, they were even weaker.

The sky suddenly flashed with lightning, and the strong wind made the big trees rustle. Summer tightened her grip on the umbrella handle and quickened her pace.
They walked through the pouring rain in the narrow alley. Summer noticed that the distance between her and Jack remained the same, neither
too far nor too close.
She thought, “Does he know that I am scared, so he deliberately slows down his pace?”
At this moment, Jack, who had been moving forward, suddenly turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?
She hesitated for a moment.“Nothing”
“Can you keep up?”
“Yes”
The rain was pouring heavily. When Summer returned home, the cuffs of her pants were already wet to the point where water could be wrung
Dout
She quickly took off her wet clothes, took a hot shower, and changed into pajamas. She was afraid of catching a cold, so she prepared a cup of antiviral granules.
While Summer was taking bitter medicine, the image of Jack holding an umbrella flashed through her mind. He stood tall and broad, giving a sense of security just by looking at him.
