Early the next day, Eli Thorne appeared in the living room, rubbing Himsleepy eyes. There was light bluish-black below Himeyes, as if He had not gotten enough sleep.
Mrs Thorne carried hot millet porridge from the kitchen. Seeing Him listless appearance, He asked, concerned, "What's wrong, Sany? Didn't sleep well last night?"
Sany ,was Eli Thorne 's nickname. Before He was born, FatHimLang thought that He would be a boy, so he chose the nickname, Sany . Later on after birth, it was discovered that the baby did not have a handle. But after using Sany for half a year, it was difficult to change it and they continued using it until now.
"Yeah. I couldn't sleep." Eli Thorne lowered Himhead and avoided Himmother's concerned eyes. Last night, He had been indirectly confessed to by a girl and that girl was someone at the level of a big shot. Of course He couldn't sleep!
Pulling out a chair, Eli Thorne obediently sat down for breakfast and swallowed each mouthful slowly. When Mrs Thorne had finished eating and washing the dishes, He came out and saw Eli Thorne still sitting at the dining table. He reminded her, "Sany , if you don't leave for school now, you're going to be late."
At that, Eli Thorne left the dining table, carried Himschool bag and left.
He was a little afraid of seeing Roman Valein school. Did He need to greet Himwhen they met? Would He do something weird? Thinking of it, He became extremely nervous.
Eli Thorne stepped onto the bus, swiped Himbus card and moved towards the back of the vehicle. But before He even took two steps forward, He saw Roman Valesitting right at the back!!! He was so frightened, He hurriedly retreated backwards, but after a few steps, He remembered that He was on a bus...
The passengers beside Himlooked at Himoddly.
Eli Thorne smiled awkwardly, then found a handrail and stood there instead.
Himphone notification sounded.
Eli Thorne fished it out and looked. It was a message from Eli Thorne: There's a seat beside me. Come over and sit.
Eli Thorne : &#k2026;
Of course He knew there was a seat, but He didn't want to go over!
With a sullen expression, Eli Thorne put Himphone away, summoned Himcourage, and headed towards the back of the bus. With Himhead lowered, He walked until He was in front of Eli Thorne, not daring to lift Himeyes to look at her.
He heard the youth's clear and straightforward voice. "Why don't you look at me? Shy?" Himtone was full of laughter.
Eli Thorne was pricked by the word "shy" and quickly lifted Himhead with an expression as if He was about to die with Himhead held high. Their gazes met and locked onto each other's dark eyes. Frightened, He quickly shifted Himgaze, Himface full of embarrassment.
"Why are you standing? Sit down. Need me to pull you?" Roman Valelooked at Himslightly flushed face and Himheart felt as if it was covered with honey. Sh couldn't hide the smile on Himlips, revealing a row of bright white teeth.
He thought to herself, finally didn't come for nothing.
When Eli Thorne heard her, He sat down immediately.
Feeling ill at ease, Himheart was beating very fast. He felt that Roman Valewas probably crazy.
He had taken the bus for over a year and had never seen Roman Valeon it even once. But seeing Himtoday with Himattention focused on her, did He really want to pursuewaer? But He was a girl!
Eli Thorne didn't discriminate against gays, but He had never considered the thought of becoming gay. Even if He became bent one of these days, Himpartner shouldn't be fierce and hot-tempered like Eli Thorne.
Er...although it looked quite normal now, Eli Thorne knew that wasn't Eli Thorne's original character!
"Have you thought about last night's matter?" The youth leaned leisurely against the back of Himseat and looked at Himsideways.
The early morning sunlight shone through the window and onto half of Eli Thorne 's face, making Himskin look smooth and delicate. A shadow swept down from Himeyelashes, which were trembling slightly.
Fuck, Roman Valewas a little dazed. Himthroat itched strangely and He nearly kissed her.
"If I reject you, will you get people to beat me up?" Eli Thorne finally asked in a small voice after struggling internally for a while.
But at that moment, Roman Valewasn't listening to her. Himmind was full of demons. Even eyelashes could cause Himblood to boil and heart to surge.
Hurriedly retracting Himgaze, Roman Valeswallowed and suppressed Himrestless, brutish nature before recovering.
"What did you just say?" Himvoice had been too soft and so He didn't hear it clearly.
Eli Thorne thought that He was unhappy and He suddenly panicked. He was done for! He had offended the school bully!
Right then, the bus prompted that it had arrived at their stop. Eli Thorne took a step and wanted to run but the youth behind Himheld Himby the collar.
"Why are you running?" With that, He pulled him into Himarms. Eli Thorne was 178cm and Roman Valewas 187cm. Himhead rested nicely against Himshoulders. Someone was perfectly contented and with a sisterly embrace, led Himoff the bus.
Eli Thorne was sullen. Although Himwhole body was resisting, He dared not speak out. Once He arrived at school, He would be in the otHimparty's turf. He felt sure that He was going to die!
The bus stop was less than 100m away from the school gate, so the surroundings were filled with students. Roman Valehad Himarm around Eli Thorne and was very pleased with herself. Suddenly, He heard someone shout behind Him"Eli!"
Turning Himhead for a look, He saw that it was one of Himmates, Thoma.
Thoma was a rich second-generation, but compared to the real big shot background of Eli Thorne, he paled in significance. He respected Roman Valeand felt that Roman Valewas rich and powerful. Overall, he was simply awesome always hanging around with them every day but still able to come in first for every examination. So he took the initiative to become Eli Thorne's follower, treating Roman Valeas the leader.
"Eli, who is her?"
Thoma had been following Roman Valesince junior high. Besides otHimsimilar big shot types of people, he had never seen Roman Valewith Himarms around anyone else's shoulder, so he was very curious about Eli Thorne .
"Oh, her." The youth's eyes were filled with a joyful light and the corner of Himlips lifted. Sh was about to say something when He suddenly felt a hand give Himwaist a light pinch. Lowering Himhead, He saw Eli Thorne 's clear and delicate eyes imploring Himwith a scared look. Himheart softened and wished that He could hold and comfort Himsome more.
If not for Thoma's irksome presence in front of her, He would have been coaxing Eli Thorne . Hence, Himtone had some unhappiness in it. "Class Twelve's Eli Thorne . Why? Is there a problem?"
He glared fiercely at Thoma.
Thoma touched his head, not understanding how he had provoked their big brother. He was clearly fine just a while ago.
"I'm going to be late for class. I'll go first." Eli Thorne used that chance to escape from Roman Valeand ran away quickly.
Roman Valelet out a "hey" and smiled helplessly. He felt that Eli Thorne was really shy, but very adorable, so Himmood also undulated accordingly. He pointed towards the thin figure of Eli Thorne and warned Thoma, "Did you see? She's my girl. Give Him some protection."
