Lawrence smiled, "Of course I didn't mean to hurt her, everything before was all a misunderstanding~"

You said it was a misunderstanding. I look so easy to deceive?

Wayne sneered twice.

"Since everyone is friends with Miss Tasia, let's invite her to hang out with us next time~" Lawrence said inexplicably.

"Dream." Wayne broke the illusion in his mind without mercy.

"The offer is also for me and Tasia to go on a date alone. If you are a superfluous person, please step aside."

"You!" Lawrence's tone seemed to become a little angry, "You really have evil intentions towards Tasia."

Wayne joked: "You've only discovered it now? As long as it's a good-looking girl, I like them all~"

As soon as these words were spoken, the minister's question rang out from outside: "Hey, why is Miss Chris standing here and not going in?"

Then came Chris's somewhat panicked voice.

"Ah, I...I remembered that I forgot to take something in the classroom. Sorry, I have to leave first."

"Huh?"

Before the minister's next words were spoken, Chrissy had already run away.

"Why is it so strange..." He opened the back door and walked in.

Then, he saw Lawrence lying on the table with his butt raised and his head close to Wayne.

"Bang!" He closed the door ten times faster than before.

"Sorry! I didn't see anything!"

His shouts and the sound of fleeing footsteps were heard outside the door.

Wayne looked outside the door and then at Lawrence's movements.

"grass!"

Wayne's reputation in the academy has moved in a strange direction again.

…

By the time Wayne returned to the Duke's Mansion, it was already very late.

Seeing that all the windows in the mansion were brightly lit, he hesitated a little while standing outside the gate.

Obviously I was looking forward to going home.

But now, whenever he thinks about having to face Chris again when he goes back, he...

Ah~ It’s really troublesome.

He already regretted why he confessed so suddenly.

Maybe I was confused by those daily interactions that looked like an old couple.

She thought that like herself, she should be completely accustomed to the other party's participation in her life——

As a result, it was only now that he discovered that the relationship he longed for was neither expected nor accepted by the other party at all.

That's right, she is just a tree. If she accepts herself, she will have to give up an entire forest, which is too much of a loss.

"Master Wayne, won't you come in?"

Karen's voice suddenly sounded from inside the door.

Wayne's body tensed subconsciously for a moment, as if his secret had been seen by others and he felt panicked.

But then, he quickly relaxed again.

There is nothing to feel guilty about, and nothing to feel guilty about.

If you refuse, just refuse, that's it.

He didn't need to find a reason for Chris's rejection, nor did he need to find a reason for his... betrayal.

Wayne straightened his back and walked in.

What gradually became clear under the moonlight was Karen's face, which was calm and slightly worried.

"I don't know if it's convenient to ask... Master Wayne, what is the conflict with the eldest lady about?"

Under her gaze, Wayne concealed his embarrassment and said: "It's some... small things, nothing."

"After the eldest lady came back today, she said she felt unwell and had already gone to bed."

She said, "I didn't even eat dinner."

"..." Wayne didn't know how to answer the question.

After being hurt by her like that, do you have to comfort her not to care about it?

Forget it, I'm tired too.

So, he just said dryly: "Is that so, has the family doctor checked her out? Not eating is not good for the body, so she should eat a little bit..."

But soon, under the look of disappointment in Karen's eyes, he couldn't continue talking.

"Perhaps you are still angry with the eldest lady. I'm sorry to interrupt your time..."

Karen turned around and wanted to leave.

However, her steps were slow for a moment.

"At least, please don't show these false concerns in front of her...she will only be more sad when she hears it."

Her figure disappeared on the other side of the courtyard.

Wayne exhaled a breath, feeling inexplicably feeling a little heavier.

Just one day passed and everything changed.

Otherwise, run away.

Just like what I had imagined when I first traveled through time, find another beautiful girl and fly away.

Miss Songli...forget it, she can't abandon her family and aristocratic status.

For a moment downstairs, many thoughts flashed through Wayne's mind.

However, after entering the building, everyone seemed to accept him as he was.

No one appeared to ask what happened between him and Chris, and no one blamed himself for making Chris unhappy.

Wayne breathed a sigh of relief.

When he finished handling the chores and returned to the room earlier than before, he finally couldn't help but think -

It's great that I don't have to see Chris anymore today.

But tomorrow...

He has never felt that life has been so painful.

"well--"

With a long sigh, he turned off the magic lamp and prepared to go to bed.

As soon as he lay down, there was a soft knocking sound outside the door.

"Dong dong..."

It was like a direct knock on Wayne's heart, as if even his heartbeat had stopped for two seconds.

Although his movements were lighter and more hesitant than before.

But he knew very clearly that it must be Chrissy outside the door.

Sure enough, Chris asked aloud: "Wayne, can I come in?"

This voice that haunted him before now made all the hairs on Wayne's body stand up.

He wanted to refuse.

But it was obvious that he had no reason to refuse.

After waiting for a while, Chris opened the door and walked in directly.

Wayne buried his head in the quilt and pretended to be dead.

He didn't know what to say to her, or how to face her again.

I……

"Wayne."

The edge of the bed sank slightly, and Chris sat down next to him.

Wayne tucks his quilt nervously.

Damn it, why do I feel so guilty...

I……

"Wayne, are we still as good as before?"

She hugged herself across the quilt, her voice filled with tears.

"We don't want to become anything else, just live happily together like this every day, okay..."

"Forget what happened last night, just treat it as just a dream... No, not even a dream... I, I also want to be with Wayne, but I can't help it..."

Wayne's hand loosened his grip on the quilt.

He lifted the quilt off his head.

I saw Chris lying beside the bed with tears streaming down her face.

"...No, don't cry."

Seeing her sad expression, Wayne felt severe pain in his heart.
