, Chapter , BONUS , That night, while Hansel was working on the tasks that had piled up, Calvin called. “Hans, we haven’t seen each other in a while. Shall we grab a drink?” , “Sure.” , Hansel walked out of the study. After changing his outfit and heading outside, he found Ingrid at the front door. Their eyes met, and both of them were caught off–guard. , “Why did you come back?” , “Dear, are you on your way out?” , They asked at the same time. , “Yes,” Hansel replied. , Ingrid bit her lip awkwardly. “Then… did I come at the wrong time?” , Hansel said nothing. , “I came after class. I didn’t play hooky… You were really too rough last night, so my–my privates are a bit inflamed. I’ve been feeling uncomfortable all day… , “I don’t have the guts to go to the pharmacy myself because I’m scared that people will make fun of me. I remembered that there were a few anti–inflammatory ointments in the first–aid kit here, so I came over…” she stammered while explaining, afraid that Hansel would think that she was a bother. , When he didn’t reply after a long while, she gritted her teeth and turned toward the gate. “I–I’ll go back to school now!” , After taking a couple of steps forward, Hansel spoke. “Come here.” , Ingrid’s lips curled into a smile, but she suppressed it the moment she turned to look at him. “Dear…” , Hansel got out the first–aid kit and found the ointments. After reading the description, he said, “These won’t do. They can’t be used on those parts…” , Ingrid was nearly in tears. “Then what should we do? Should I go to the pharmacy? But… but how could I bring myself to say those things…” , She was mortified. , Hansel sighed and got up. “Come on, I’ll take you to the hospital.” , “There’s no need… I don’t want to keep you from your business…” , , , , Hansel picked up his car keys. “It’s nothing important. Calvin just invited me for a drink. It’s fine if I go a bit later.” , “After we see the doctorcan I go with you?” , “Sure.” , 1
/2 , BONUS , Chapter 0092 , Ingrid’s face was as red as an apple as she walked out of the hospital. , “Sorry,” Hansel said. , “It’s alright, I… liked it. So long as it’s with you, everything is enjoyable.” Ingrid’s eyes sparkled with innocence and some naïveté. , The more indifferent and nonchalant she acted, the more Hansel couldn’t get over . In the end, this had only happened because he had mistaken her for someone else. , He didn’t dare to imagine how badly she would bawl if he broke up with her now. , “Get in.” Hansel opened the driver’s side door of the car. , “Huh?” Ingrid asked dazedly. “Where are we going?” , “Didn’t you want to come with me to drink with Cal?” , “Oh.” Ingrid nodded and got into the passenger’s seat. , In the lively private room, heavy metal music blasted from the speakers. Calvin raised his glass, lost in his own world and singing to the music. , Zach kicked him. “Get lost. Don’t do those poses in front of me. It’s disgusting.” , “What do you know? You should try these new disco moves that I just learned.” , “No, I’m not shameless enough to do something so embarrassing.” Zach ducked to the side, looking repulsed. “Where’s Hans? Didn’t you give him a call earlier? Why isn’t he here yet?” , “I don’t know. He said he would definitely come,” Calvin replied. , Zach was quiet for a moment. “Did you invite Sam too?” , “Yes.” , “You have huge balls!” , Everyone knew that Hansel and Sam were no longer friends, yet Calvin had the guts to bring the two together. Did he perhaps have a death wish? , “Do you think I’m stupid?” Calvin snorted. “Sam said he wasn’t coming, that’s why I called Hans. Hey, speak of the devil. He’s here.” , Today’s Bonus Offer , , , , , Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
