Under the maple tree on campus, there are two figures, a man and a woman. A breeze blows, and a few maple leaves fall, floating to the ground...
"Senior Ren Gong, thank you for the clothes you gave me last time." Emily Hart lowered her head very uncomfortably. She didn't dare to look directly at the boy who was as bright as a star in front of her. She couldn't open her eyes because of his dazzling presence.
If Rachel Cooper hadn't said that she had to apologize for ruining Senior Ren Gong's clothes, and that she could avoid the surveillance of those men in black and go out for some crazy fun, Emily Hart really wouldn't have dared to face him alone at this moment.
"It's okay." Mason Crane was a little delighted. This was his first private conversation with Emily Hart, and it was in such a romantic place. It felt like a date between two lovers.
"Um...your clothes..." Emily Hart bit her lower lip lightly. She didn't dare to meet the man's gaze.
"It's okay. There are a lot of clothes at home. It doesn't matter if one or two are missing." Mason Crane knew what Emily Hart wanted to say. Maybe she wanted to say that "some liquid" had stained his coat.
"Um…"
Emily Hart really didn't know how to say the next words. How could she ask a boy out?
Rachel Cooper was watching dryly not far away. She wanted Emily Hart to speak quickly, but why did this damn girl freeze at the critical moment?
"Say it, say it..." She was anxious here, but Emily Hart just stood there stupidly.
Emily Hart stole a glance at Rachel Cooper not far away. Seeing that she kept urging her, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Are you free today?"
"Yes, I have."
To Emily Hart's surprise, Mason Crane didn't hesitate at all. As soon as she asked the question, he answered it immediately.
"To thank you, my classmate Rachel Cooper and I would like to invite you to hang out with us." Emily Hart had never been timid in front of anyone except Uncle Li.
"sure."
Mason Crane agreed readily, which made Emily Hart feel a little embarrassed. She laughed stiffly a few times and said, "Rachel Cooper, you guy has completely disrupted the plan. What should I do?"
"Where do you want to go?" Mason Crane really likes Emily Hart. When he first saw her, he felt like he had seen her eyes before.
"I…"
Emily Hart panicked. She didn't know what to say. Could she say anywhere would do as long as it could help her escape the surveillance of the man in black?
She couldn't say it. If the boy knew that she was being watched wherever she went, maybe he would be too timid to play with her again.
"Senior Mu Yi."
Rachel Cooper arrived in time to avoid Emily Hart's embarrassment, and a comfortable smile appeared on her lips.
"Hello." Mason Crane glanced at Rachel Cooper and then turned his gaze to Emily Hart.
Rachel Cooper's eyes sparkled with admiration. She found Mason Crane so handsome that he was infuriating. She loved him so much that she forgot everything and even imagined that they were the only two of them at that moment.
Seeing this awkward scene, Emily Hart reached out and pinched Rachel Cooper, hoping that she could regain some sanity and focus on her business before being infatuated with her.
"Well!"
Rachel Cooper's skin was twisted by Emily Hart so hard that it hurt. She glared at Emily Hart fiercely.
After rubbing it, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Student Mu Yi, we have a small wish. We hope you can take us to a quiet place where no one will disturb us and have a good time. Senior, you shouldn't refuse, right?"
Rachel Cooper was very nervous. It was said that many girls in the school had asked out senior Mu Yi, but she rejected them all and didn't even look at them!
"No problem." Mason Crane looked at Emily Hart and smiled gently, then nodded in agreement.
"That's great, Senior Mu Yi, we all admire you very much." Rachel Cooper excitedly grabbed Mason Crane's arm, unable to control her excitement.
"Yeah?"
Mason Crane looked at Emily Hart with a deeply passionate gaze, revealing an irresistible passion.
Emily Hart lowered her head hard, a blush spread across her face, and she didn't dare to look the boy in the eye.
"Senior Mu Yi, shall we set off now?" Rachel Cooper couldn't wait to go out and play with Mason Crane. What a happy time that would be.
"No, there are Uncle Li's men outside. If I go out, they will find me." Emily Hart panicked subconsciously. If the men in black found out that she was trying to escape, they would forcibly take her back to the castle and lock her up for days without letting her step out of the room.
"It's okay, I have a way." Rachel Cooper suddenly had an idea, turned around and ran out of the grove first.
Emily Hart watched Rachel Cooper leave, and they were left alone here. The awkward scene was so suffocating that her heart beat so fast that she could hardly breathe.
"Why are those men in black following you?" Finally, it was Mason Crane who broke the silence.
"My Uncle Li doesn't allow me to have contact with people from the outside world. This is his taboo." Emily Hart turned around. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Her heartbeat was so abnormal!
"Uncle Li? Where are your parents?" Mason Crane was suddenly very curious about Emily Hart's background. It was said that her background was Alexander Knight, the favorite niece of a business tycoon.
"Uncle Li said that my parents died after I was born, and he was the one who raised me." Whenever Emily Hart talked about this, she would feel a chill in her heart. Why was her life so miserable? Both her parents died when she was born. The only lucky thing was that she had Uncle Li.
"How old is your uncle Li?"
Mason Crane had heard of Alexander Knight when he was at home. His father and his dad were comrades-in-arms and used to be good brothers. He was a major general in the army, but his father unfortunately died later.
"He is very young…"
Emily Hart never asked Uncle Li how old he was, but she knew he was very young and not old at all.
"Your name is Emily Hart?" Mason Crane was a little confused. Alexander Knight never had a brother, only a sister, and her last name was Yin? No matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like they were uncle and niece.
"Yeah." Emily Hart licked her dry lips. She had never doubted her identity or the past events that Uncle Li had told her.
"I'm sorry, I'm just curious, you don't mind, do you?" Mason Crane apologized hurriedly when he saw Emily Hart's face change. Maybe he asked a question that he shouldn't have asked.
"It doesn't matter. I believe Uncle Li. He will never lie to me from the beginning to the end." Emily Hart did blame Uncle Li, but she only blamed him for keeping her imprisoned. The rest of the blame was just love for him.
"Everyone has things that he cannot talk about. I believe your uncle Li would not lie to you. I just asked later. He may not want you to remember the unpleasant things that happened in the past."
Mason Crane chuckled. This girl was so pure and innocent that he couldn't help but feel admiration and pity for her...
