Crystal returned to school.
It seemed that she had returned to the time when she first came to Francis. She lived alone in an apartment outside the university and ran to school every day.
After school began, she had heavier learning tasks.
She extremely studied hard. She spent practically every single day immersed in her study. Her life was extremely peaceful.
As the sun gradually set, Crystal carried a thick pile of medical books and walked out of the academic building.
When she walked down from the concrete steps and looked ahead, she could see the experimental building in the distance over the playground. The fire caused by the explosion was very serious. Although the building had been restored, it was still isolated.
The memory still seemed fresh.
Crystal remembered that when she was at her most helpless moment in the corner, Erik appeared from the fire. His wide, strong hand seemed to be able to stabilize the entire world.
She thought of the kiss in the hospital that night.
Her finger was tightly clenched.
She told herself not to think about it and not to think too much.
Her classmate looked at her expression for a long time and asked tentatively, "Crystal, be honest, are you... out of love?"
Crystal was slightly startled. "How do you know?"
She touched her face. Was it so obvious?
"Really?" Hearing her answer, the girl almost jumped up and asked excitedly, "When did you fall in love? How come I don't know? I haven't seen you so depressed even when you broke up with Kayden!"
Crystal lowered her eyes.
She didn't even know when it happened. When she understood her feeling, it was over.
As for Kayden, perhaps she had only agreed to have a try and didn't take it serious. So even if she recognized that Kayden was a jerk, she did not feel sad.
But now...
She knew what love is.
The classmate looked at her thoughtfully.
At this moment, Crystal's phone vibrated.
She said, "Sorry, I have to answer a call!"
The call was from Holly.
Crystal braced herself.
Holly sounded to be in a good mood. "Lil Star, Erik and I will have dinner together tonight. Join us?"
Crystal pursed her lips. "No, thanks."
Holly was surprised. She asked, "Won't you come?
"Yes." Crystal prevaricated in a low voice, "I have something to do at school."
As a younger sister, she should be sensible at this time.
In the world of two, there was no place for a third wheel.
After the call ended, Crystal slowly released a breath from her chest.
Her classmate suddenly took her arm.
The evening lights were lit.
She was about to say something to remind him when he suddenly grasped her hand.
She was displeased. "What are you doing!"
It seemed that the boy often flirted with the girls and was very familiar with such intimate acts.
He took the opportunity to put his arm around her shoulder and said affectionately, "Crystal, I just heard that you always go to the hospital for internship during holidays. If you want, I can help you. I work in the best hospital in Francis and have a good relationship with my leader. It's easy to put you in...
"Let go!" Crystal gritted her teeth and reprimanded, "Let go of me!"
The boy only thought that she was like an ordinary school girl who liked to hook up with him and pretend refusing him. So he not only did not restrain himself, but also wanted to hold her waist.
Crystal was unable to restrain her anger.
Men and women's physical strength was still quite different, especially when she was passive.
However, their position was the innermost. Everyone thought that they were lovers and did not think anything was wrong. Crystal couldn't break away from him for a long time. When she was about to shout, the boy shouted first.
"Darn it—"
A cup of coffee was poured on his head.
Although the coffee was not boiling hot, it was still hot. The boy stood on his feet and cursed like a clown.
At such a critical moment, someone suddenly poured coffee on his head. He was angry and wanted to get even with the other party, but when he touched the military uniform, he immediately felt ashamed. With his guilty conscience, he didn't dare to breathe too loudly.
Crystal looked at the man who put the empty cup back on the table. Stunned, she stood up. "Erik? How could you..."
Shouldn't he be with Holly now?
Erik glanced at the boy who was at a loss. He resisted the urge to hit him and took Crystal out.
