Chapter 8: Excuse Me, Take Your Leave [Chapter Three]
Seeing that Emma agreed, Ryan smiled and said to the middle-aged man beside him, "Sir, could I trouble you to change places? My girlfriend is feeling a bit unwell."
Since Emma was an alum, and the man with glasses chatted like a fly, seriously affecting his reading of the newspaper, the middle-aged man didn't hesitate, nodded, and said, "OK!"
"Thank you so much," Ryan thanked him.
"No problem."
The middle-aged man waved his hand, stood up, and began to change places.
And George was immediately dumbfounded. He looked at Ryan and cursed in his heart: Damn, all the good things are snatched up by others!
Sitting next to Ryan, Emma couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The awkward chat with George had made her extremely irritable. But thinking of Ryan saying she was his girlfriend just now, Emma felt both angry and amused. She couldn't help but quietly reach out and pinch his waist.
"Hiss!"
The sudden attack made Ryan take a sharp breath.
Rubbing his waist, Ryan lowered his voice and said, "Is this how you repay kindness?"
"You always bully me! Not only do I owe you a favor, but I also have to pretend to be your girlfriend. You've got all the advantages!" Emma gritted her little teeth as if she was about to take a bite at any moment.
"This is what you asked for!" Ryan raised his eyebrows and continued, "And, when are you going to pay back the favor? You can't always owe it, can you?"
Since the two spoke in low voices, they were relatively close.
The hot air that Ryan exhaled when he spoke blew into Emma's ears, making her feel ticklish and tingly...
A blush rose from her neck and gradually spread.
Emma hurriedly lowered her head and said in a disguised way, "I'll treat you to dinner when we get to the city, is that all right?"
"It's so embarrassing to let you spend money," Ryan said with a smile.
He didn't see Emma's blushing and shy look just now, but George, sitting opposite, saw it clearly.
Emma herself is extremely beautiful, and coupled with the girlish feelings she just displayed, George's eyes were glued to her. But when he saw Ryan, George felt heartbroken.
So angry! Why does she have a boyfriend?
...
After a few jokes, Ryan took out his phone and began to check watches from various top brands. He didn't know much about watches before, but after looking at them now, he realized there were so many claims about a watch. From the movement to the strap, from the material to the performance, there was a lot of knowledge in it.
Before he knew it, Ryan was immersed in it.
Seeing that Ryan hadn't spoken, Emma couldn't help but turn her head and take a sneak peek.
She saw Ryan slightly lowering his head, looking at his phone intently. His quiet demeanor made people feel comfortable, and his white and smooth side face looked a little dreamy against the sunlight outside the window.
Emma couldn't help muttering to herself: "How can a big man have such good skin?"
"But his profile from this angle is really handsome."
"Will he suddenly confess to me? Should I refuse?"
"If I refuse, Ryan will be very sad."
"But I already promised my parents that I wouldn't fall in love in college. What should I do?"
"How about... Wait until you graduate from college and then fall in love with him?"
Emma looked at Ryan, lost in thought...
...
Two hours flew by.
When the high-speed train arrived at the station, Ryan put away his phone, put on his shoulder bag, and prepared to leave.
Emma grabbed him and said with a look of disbelief, "You're just leaving?"
Ryan raised his eyebrows and said, "Am I supposed to stay on the high-speed rail overnight?"
"It's a pity; I still want to treat you to dinner. You won't even carry my bag for me!" Emma stared at him with her beautiful eyes and said angrily.
Ryan nodded helplessly and said, "All right, where's your bag?"
"Here, it's up there."
Emma pointed to the two huge suitcases on the luggage rack above.
Immediately, Ryan looked like she was kidding him. These two suitcases weigh at least 60 pounds, right? Maybe even 80 pounds!
Taking a deep breath, Ryan turned his head and started to leave: "Excuse me, goodbye!"
Seeing that he was about to leave, Emma hurriedly grabbed him again and said anxiously, "Don't leave! What should I do if you leave?"
Ryan pointed to the suitcases and said seriously, "Tell me first, how did you put them up there?"
"My dad helped me to the station, and then a flight attendant helped me put them up," Emma explained truthfully.
"How long do you plan to stay in New York?" Ryan continued to ask.
"One week."
Ryan was startled: "Damn it, you've brought so many things for only one week of playing. Are you planning to move when school starts?"
"Ryan!"
Seeing that Ryan was teasing her again, Emma couldn't help saying angrily: "If you bully me again, I'll... I'll bite you to death!"
I have to say that good looks mean you can do whatever you want, even when you're angry, you're so cute.
Ryan stopped teasing her. Letting her hang his shoulder bag, Ryan grabbed a suitcase and took it down with great effort. Two suitcases weighing more than 80 pounds, even with wheels underneath, still felt very heavy when pushing them.
When the two arrived at the exit, Ryan was already sweating.
Taking a breath, he asked, "Where are you going next?"
"My cousin said she was coming to pick me up. Wait a minute; I'll call and ask!"
Emma took out her phone while talking and dialed a number. After chatting for a few minutes, she put down her phone and said, "Wait a minute; my cousin will be here soon."
After not waiting long, a tall and fashionable beauty walked towards the two of them.
"Cousin, this way!"
Emma waved her hand and shouted.
Ryan took a good look at the other party. She looked about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with a height of 5'5". Her appearance wasn't as high as Emma's, but she still had a score of about 85. Wearing a Chanel dress, her family's conditions should be pretty good.
Emma seemed to have a good relationship with her cousin, so she rushed over to hug her. The picture of the two beauties embracing each other was very eye-catching, immediately attracting the attention of many men around them.
After the two let go, Emma's cousin noticed Ryan and couldn't help asking, "Who is this?"
"His name is Ryan, he's my classmate, and he's visiting New York this time." Emma blushed slightly. She still thought that Ryan wanted to pursue her, so he came to New York specially. She felt a little embarrassed in front of her cousin.
"So it's a classmate! Hello, my name is Sarah." Sarah glanced at Ryan meaningfully. She could see all of Emma's little expressions just now and couldn't help but feel a little thump in her heart. My cousin, isn't she in love?
Sarah's smile remained unchanged, and she asked calmly, "Ryan, are you going to visit New York for a few days?"
"Three or four days," Ryan responded, and then said to Emma, "Emma, your cousin is here. I should go too."
But Emma took his arm and said, "Don't go, I promised to treat you to dinner so that you won't hold it over me later."
Seeing the intimate behavior of the two, Sarah had basically confirmed the fact that her cousin was in a relationship. She had to help her cousin check it out and observe more, lest she be cheated.
Thinking of this, Sarah also echoed, "Yes, let's have a meal together!"
"All right," Ryan nodded. Anyway, there are people who treat guests, so if you don't eat for free, you won't eat.
