NovelEnglishWhen the train arrived at a stop, Bache left, most likely to turn himself over to the police.
Not having the slightest drowsiness, Mashauva remained seated so until they arrived at their stop. When they exited the subway station, Mashauva returned Bruno's jacket to him.
Her clothes had dried along the way, so there was no need for her to continue wearing his jacket.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBruno took the jacket over and draped it over his shoulder, saying, "Your school is quite a distance away from here. We should take a taxi." "It's fine, Bruno. You can seeoff until here. I can head back to school by myself." "I've called an Uber. It'll arrive soon." He already had it all arranged while the train was arriving at their station. He placed his hand on Mashauva's shoulder and said, "C'mon, let's go." "But Bruno, don't you have classes in the afternoon? Won't you be late?" "I won't. Don't worry about it." In the end, Bruno sent Mashauva safely to school.
"Go on. Bring your stuff in." "Thank you, Bruno. You should hurry back for class." Bruno put on a faint smile and said, "I'll wait for you to enter the school before I leave." With that, Masahuva looked over her shoulder every few steps as she headed for her dormitory. It wasn't until she was no longer within Bruno's vision that he left.
As classes were about to begin, there was no one in the dormitory. Mashauva could only leave the boxes there and head for her classes for the tbeing.
Seeing Mashauva arrive in the classroom at the very last minute, drenched in sweat, her deskmate got curious. "Mashauva, where have you been all afternoon? Why are you only back now?" Mashauva stuck her tongue out and whispered, "I had sthings to take care of. I just cback." "Any later, you'd be late. The teacher will be arriving soon." She was lucky that she made it back in time.
After class, Mashauva remembered the gifts were still in the dormitory; she had to go back and explain to Lena and Hailey.
So she hurriedly packed her books up and rushed back to the dormitory.
As soon as she arrived at the dormitory, Mashauva found Hailey and Lena in the room, lying on their beds with facial masks applied to their faces. When they noticed Mashauva's return, they asked in displeasure.
"Mashauva, didn't you leave with our gifts? Why are they doing here?" Mashauva explained sheepishly, "Um, I'm really sorry. I did as you told, but Bruno won't accept them." "What? How can he not?" Hailey immediately jolted up. She was so agitated that the mask nearly fell off her face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLena shot her a glare, and only then did she calm down.
"Did Bruno reject them, or did you not give them to him at all? There's nothing for you to worry about at all. Even if we marry him one day, he will still be your big brother. We will treat you well as Bruno does. Think about how great it'll be if you can have one more person dote on you." "One more person to dote on me? No, thank you." Of course, Mashauva did not say that out loud.
She explained with a straight face, "I always do as I promise and not go back on my words. I went all the way there, but Bruno said he wouldn't accept gifts no matter who they're from." "But why?" Mashauva remembered what Freddy had said. She pursed her lips and repeated his words, "There were too many girls who brought gifts for Bruno. He couldn't possibly accept all of them. If he were to accept one, it would be unfair for everyone else. That's why he won't accept any of it." Lena didn't believe her.
"Did he say that?" Mashauva clasped the hem of her shirt and said, "Freddy toldthat." "The guy who's always with Bruno?" Lena narrowed her eyes and recalled; that guy was indeed a talker. He had invited them to supper once, and every the looked at Mashauva, his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree; his thoughts, evident. If it was him, those words were possible.
Lena smiled and said, "Was Bruno next to Freddy when he said that?" Mashauva nodded.
Yes." "He heard it?" "He heard it." "Did he not say anything? Did you not speak up for us? It doesn't matter if he doesn't accept other people's gifts, but we're not one of them. I thought Bruno adores you, no? Mashauva, you should have tried to put in a good word for us." "Yeah, Mashauva." Hailey nodded and echoed, saying, "Bruno seems unapproachable. Does he like to distance himself from other people? C'mon, help us out. Put in a good word for us. We mean no harm; we just like him, that's all."
