The stars in night sky were sparkling.
There was only Crystal in the large villa. She sat at the table like a wandering ghost, with a box of instant noodles in front of her.
Her mom went out for dinner and hadn't come back yet. The house was quiet, as if she could hear her slow heartbeat.
She remained in a sitting position the entire time.
Her gaze was focused on the marble grains on the table.
Crystal couldn't help thinking whether Erik had already confessed his love to Holly at this time and whether Holly had accepted him and received Erik's friends’ blessing.
She took a deep breath forcefully.
She forced herself to stop thinking about those things. She closed her eyes and opened the box in front of her.
The hot air curled upwards.
After being soaked for too long, the noodles had been softened.
Crystal lowered her head to eat silently. She wanted to use food to divert her attention.
The noodles were too soft and the taste had changed a lot. They were a little unpleasant to eat, but she still finished all her noodles fast, so that she burped when she put down the fork. She had to hold back the slight sting in her chest.
She raised her head and saw a man standing at the door.
She felt embarrassed.
Erik held a car key in his hand. Maybe he had walked too fast, so his chest fluctuated slightly.
It seemed that he had been looking for her for a long time. Now he was obviously relieved, and his tight eyebrows also relaxed.
Crystal looked at him and thought, "Is the confession completed so soon?"
Erik raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows. "Lil Star, why did you come home without a word?"
In the entertainment club, he had already asked the staff to arrange carefully in advance. He wanted to give her a surprise. After all, his feeling had been hidden deep in his heart for a long time. Now he could finally tell her. She was so important to him, so he also wanted to have a sense of formal ceremony, not to treat her casually.
Everyone had arrived, and Erik was so nervous that his palm was sweating.
He had never been so nervous even when he was on his first mission, facing a drug dealer who killed people without blinking his eyes.
Erik couldn't help but think that when he proposed in the future, would he be even more nervous?
However, to his surprise, the heroine did not appear.
Holly said that she went to the bathroom with Crytal before getting in. Crystal said that she had to make a call and did not come back again. Erik almost searched the entire entertainment club, but he could not find her. Later, he asked the front desk manager and learned that she had already left by taxi.
Crystal stood up slowly.
After leaving the entertainment club, she turned off the phone and asked the taxi driver to take her home.
She lied."... I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable!"
Hearing this, Erik suddenly became nervous. He strode to her and asked, "Where?"
His male scent emanating from his body surrounded her. She quietly took half a step to the side and stammered, "It's fine. Maybe I ate too much during lunch and had a stomachache..."
Erik turned to the table. "Yet you still eat instant noodles?" "..." Crystal felt awkward.
She raised her hand to touch her uncomfortable stomach, with her long eyelashes drooping.
Erik sighed helplessly and asked her, "Is it enough? Do you want me to make you something else to eat?"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves. He was so good at cooking that he wanted to cook a simple meal for her. He didn't want her to eat such junk food.
Crystal suddenly thought of the words that Anthea once said with a smile: Whoever marries him in the future will definitely be very happy!
The words "real brother" stabbed him.
His eyes were gloomy and his hands were clenched into fists, with his knuckles turning white.
The lighting on top of his head was strong. He stood in the light, but his body seemed to be suppressed without a trace of light.
His pupils contracted and he asked word by word, "Lil Star, in your heart, do you only take me as your brother?"
No...
Crystal nodded in defiance of her heart.
"Yes!"
As if someone had poured ice water on Erik's heart. All the burning heat was extinguished.
His chest was throbbing with pain.
Erik said coldly, "I see!"
After that, he walked upstairs stiffly, leaving behind a cold back.
Crystal watched his figure disappear upstairs before she slowly withdrew her gaze. She weakly fell back into her chair and kept telling herself, "You've done well just now! You've done well!"
She had recognized the truth and was glad that she hadn't embarrassed herself.
However, her vision gradually blurred.
She raised her head and blinked her eyes hard to stop tears from flowing down.
She was not sad at all when she broke up with her ex-boyfriend, let alone crying.
But why was she so heartbroken now? Crystal leaned on the dining table.
