Veronica and a few other classmates divided up the cleaning tasks and got started right away.
Just as she was sweeping the fallen leaves, someone suddenly rushed towards her and pushed her hard with their hand.
Veronica fell to the ground unexpectedly and felt a sharp pain in her ankle.
The girl angrily turned to Veronica and said, “It’s you! You’re the one who’s been stopping Mason from having a girlfriend. You pretend to be his sister, but behind the scenes, you’re blocking him from finding a girlfriend. What’s your real intention?”
Veronica is confused and her ankle is hurting badly at the moment. The culprit behind this pain is still here, scolding her. She gets angry and responds, “Who are you? It’s none of your business whether
Mason has a girlfriend or not. My intentions are my own and have nothing to do with you!”
“You–” The girl seemed even angrier now, raising her hand and preparing to hit Veronica.
Just as his hand was about to touch Veronica, it was grabbed by another hand.
“What are you doing?!” Daniel’s voice raised.
The girl’s expression changed slightly, as if she was a bit frightened by Daniel, but then she spoke fiercely, “What are you doing, protecting this girl? She’s not a good person. She always obstructs her supposed younger brother from finding a girlfriend. Who knows what dirty thoughts she has in her mind!”
The girl’s face suddenly showed a hint of panic, and then she forcefully pulled away from Daniel’s hand. “You…you’re not into this girl, are you? Let me tell you, liking girls like her won’t end well. Be careful not to get cheated on in the future!”
Daniel raised his hand and slapped the other person directly!
The crisp slap caught the attention of those around them. The girl looked incredulous and asked, “Did you just hit me?”
“Yes, I hit you!” Daniel said bluntly, “I’m Daniel from Class 3 of Grade 10. If you want to find my homeroom teacher, feel free to do so! And yes, I like her. So what? My fate is not up to you to decide. If you dare to say anything bad about her again, I will still beat you up. I won’t go easy on you just because you’re a girl.”
The other person was a bit frightened, their lips moved slightly, but ultimately they didn’t dare to say anything and hurriedly ran away.
Daniel quickly turned around, crouched down, and asked
Veronica with concern, “How are you?”
“It’s okay, just a little painful around my ankle,” she said, trying to stand up.
“Wait a moment, let me take a look first,” said Daniel. He carefully pulled up Veronica’s pant leg and gently pulled down her sock. Then, he saw that her ankle was swollen and red.
When Daniel touched her, Veronica winced in pain and took a sharp breath.
Upon seeing the situation, Daniel immediately said, “Go to the medical room and have a look.”
“Okay,” she said, trying to stand up again.
In the next moment, he lifted her up horizontally in his arms.
“You–” Veronica stared blankly at Daniel.
“I’ll carry you over, it’ll be faster!” he said, quickly picking up Veronica and heading towards the medical room.,
Along the way, Veronica felt like she was constantly being looked at with strange eyes, and she was afraid that by tomorrow, she would become the subject of gossip again.
Daniel brought Veronica to the medical room, his face slightly flushed.
The doctor in the clinic examined Veronica and said, “Fortunately, there’s no problem with your bones.
It’s just a sprain. Apply some medicine and avoid running and jumping for a few days.”
After the doctor finished speaking, he prescribed medication for Veronica.
Daniel wanted to hug Veronica again and walk her back to her classroom, but Veronica declined, saying “No… it’s okay, I can walk by myself!”
If he really carried her back to the classroom, then tomorrow everyone in the classroom would probably be talking about her.
“Then let me support you back to the classroom,” said Daniel.
This time, Veronica did not refuse.
She walked slowly towards the direction of the classroom, while Daniel carefully stroked it.
“Daniel asked, ‘Do you know the girl who pushed you?””
“I don’t know,” Veronica said. “Maybe she’s a girl who likes.
Mason.” During this time, she knew that many girls had confessed their feelings to Mason and even gave him gifts, but he rejected them all and threw away the gifts.
It’s possible that because of this, the girl directed all her resentment towards her
“What are you saying? You are the person I like, so it’s only natural for me to protect you. No need to say thank you,” said Daniel.
Veronica paused in her steps, lifted her head, and stared somewhat dazedly at the cheerful, big guy in front of her.
The way he protected her just now, even when the other person was insulting her, he didn’t hesitate to fight back and defend her. If someone says they weren’t moved by that, they’re lying.
“Um…” She hesitated for a moment and said, “Do you still want me to be your girlfriend? If I really become your girlfriend, you may still hear things like today, or even worse.”
“Yes!” He said without hesitation, “I like you and trust you, so no matter what hurtful things may come in the future, I only believe what you say.”
His gaze was fixed on her.
And she felt something stirring in her heart.
The word “trust” from his mouth sounded so wonderful in her ears.
Taking a deep breath, as if making a certain decision, Veronica said, “Okay, I…I agree!”
“Really?” Daniel was overjoyed and picked up Veronica,
“Hey, you…” She wanted to stop him, to make him stop, but his smile was infectious, making her laugh along with him…
Meanwhile, not far away, this scene was all seen by a pair of beautiful black eyes.
Mason stiffened as he watched Veronica’s smiling face, feeling his heart sinking lower and lower.
He heard someone say that Veronica had been pushed by another girl, and Daniel took her to the infirmary, so he hurried to the infirmary. However, he didn’t expect to see such a scene on the way.
Did Veronica agree to Daniel’s request?
Finally, we have reached this step!
Although he had mentally prepared himself beforehand, seeing this scene in front of him still made him feel so uncomfortable. It was so uncomfortable that his breathing became incredibly difficult, as if his whole body was immersed in ice water, and he was completely covered by despair.
Is this… the so-called growing up?
Once, people who thought they would never be separated, slowly drifted apart.
I used to think that we were the most important people to each other, but it turns out that we have been replaced by someone else…
If this is what growing up means, then he would rather never grow up.
Mason took a deep look at Veronica and Daniel, then turned around and left quietly without attracting anyone’s attention, just like when he arrived.
As Mason walked towards the teaching building, he overheard three girls talking. One of them said,
“What? You just pushed Veronica? Aren’t you afraid that Veronica and Mason will report you?”
“What are you afraid of? Veronica is still flirting with other guys!” The girl who pushed Veronica sneered, seeming a bit disdainful. “I just gave her a light push, it didn’t take much effort. She fell down on her own! Girls like Veronica, how can she even have the face to be Mason’s sister? She doesn’t even think about what kind of family background Mason has! I bet Mason will leave the Barlow family sooner or later, and then Veronica will just be an ugly duckling…”
The girl became more and more excited as she spoke, incessantly criticizing Veronica without noticing the changing expressions of her two female companions who kept exchanging glances with each other.
“So, it was you who pushed me, Veronica.”
The girl suddenly snapped out of her thoughts when a voice sounded behind her.
She suddenly turned around and saw her prince charming, Mason, standing behind her. “Mason? What are you doing here?” The girl stuttered.
Mason gave the girl a cold, icy stare and asked her without any expression, “Veronica, which hand did you use to push me? Or was it both hands?”
In an instant, the girl felt a chill run down her spine.
Although he was the prince charming she had always dreamed of, at this moment, she felt a sense of terror as if…
this person was not someone she could covet or fantasize about!
When Veronica returned to the classroom, Mason’s backpack was missing, and only her backpack remained on the desk.
Did Mason go back first? Veronica thought to herself, but in the past, this situation had never happened before!
One of Veronica’s classmates saw her and said, “Veronica, I just saw Mason go back alone with his backpack. Why didn’t you guys go back together?”
Veronica was taken aback, so did Mason really go back first?
She took out her phone and dialed Mason’s number. After a while, he finally answered and she heard his voice on the other end. “Veronica, what’s up?” he said.
“I just wanted to ask, how did you manage to go back first?”
she asked.
“I need to make a trip back to the Reed family today,” said
“Return to the Reed family?” Veronica paused for a moment. Today wasn’t the day he was supposed to return to the Reed family. “Has something happened to your family?”
“Nothing happened. Veronica, don’t you always hope that I can spend more time with my family? So now I am doing what you want, as Veronica wished. Is that not good?” he said.
“Is… that so? Alright then, you take care and spend some quality time with your family. See you tomorrow,” said
Veronica.
“Okay, see you tomorrow,” Mason said and then ended the call.
Veronica looked at her phone that had just ended the call. During the conversation, Mason’s voice sounded a bit strange, not like his usual self. Was it just her imagination?
Also, although she hoped that he could improve his relationship with his family, Mason’s sudden return home without any warning made her feel uneasy.
It feels like something has happened, but she is completely confused about it.
On the other side, Mason put away his phone and closed his eyes. However, the scene of Veronica and Daniel together that he had seen before once again appeared in his mind.
She… agreed to Daniel’s confession, but what about him? Is he just a younger brother in her heart?
And then there’s Daniel, who turned out to be even braver than he thought. Despite knowing about his different feelings.
