Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1117

While Elsa was in such an embarrassing situation, a tender hand appeared from nowhere and handed the money to the stall owner. A gorgeously gentle voice sounded in her ear. "I'll pay for her."

Disturbed by the strange voice, Elsa turned her head to see who owned such a melancholic voice. The aura of his face had an enchanting glow under the sun. From where she was standing which was against the sunlight, she couldn't see so clearly, but she could still see the faint smile on his lips. It was the kind of smile that would make girls want to indulge in, not too fancy but just fascinating.

Seeing that Elsa was quite dazed, Charlie inclined his head. Eyes twinkling, he spoke softly, "Is this your lunch?" He pointed to the food on the counter.

Suddenly, Elsa regained her wits and had a clear image of the person. This was her senior, the most well-known person in the school, Charlie Xia from the School of Business! He had the same name as Charlie Long, the person who had left her with painful nightmares. But his family name was Xia.

"Senior…" Blushed and ashamed, Elsa stammered, "I… l… I will pay you back after I get back to school. Thank you!" After saying that, she wanted to flee from such an awkward situation. It was not because of the awkwardness, nor was it because of the sense of danger that Charlie gave her, but it was just everyone else on the street was focusing on her.

When Elsa turned to leave, Charlie abruptly grabbed her arm.

"Senior…" With her head bowed, Elsa was too shy to look at him directly. She looked around as if she was trying to find a hole and hide there so that she didn't need to be judged by the crowd. It wasn't so embarrassing to forget to bring money or forget your wallet. Yet being rescued by someone like Charlie Xia, a senior was way more embarrassing for her. It was utterly embarrassing to make Charlie pay for her because of her carelessness. She could imagine herself as soon to be the topic of gossip for the entire school, which she definitely didn't want.

"Don't you want that?" Motioning at the food on the counter, Charlie was wearing a sly smile on his face as he picked the fried chicken and handed it to her. The way he smiled at her made Elsa even more humiliated.

'Oh my goodness! That's killing me! So embarrassing!' Elsa shouted in her heart.

After castigating herself in silence, she forced a smile and took the chicken Charlie passed to her. Then he bowed to him politely and thanked in appreciation, "Thank you so much, senior. I will pay you back when I get the money."

"That's okay! No problem!"

With that, Elsa thought that it was time for her to leave now. Then she fled out of his sight as if she had just seen a ghost. She didn't really mean to do that. She knew it was quite a disrespectful thing to do. But she just couldn't chase away the nightmare brought by the Charlie she knew. This Charlie would inevitably remind her of Charlie Long, the person she hated the most.

When she reached the room, she realized that she had forgotten to buy herself some water. Actually, even if she did remember, she didn't have the money to do so. Right now in her own dorm, she was still sorting out things in her mind. In just a few hours, she felt that her entire life had been turned upside down.

First, in the video game, Silent Sorrow protected her and proposed to her, then the famous Charlie Xia paid for her lunch! Did she just start a fantasy mode of her life after she was dumped by Allen? Never had her life been in such a mess.

Absent-minded, she sat on the chair facing the computer. The update of the game would take another hour. The thought made her even more upset. Originally she decided to quit the game, but now, for some strange reason, she decided that she would wait for the update and resume the game. She was a person who would develop some sort of reliance on familiar things, familiar people. Yet the game had somehow connected through her in such a familiar way that she couldn't unhook herself out of it. She wouldn't want to let go anything or anyone that had been in her life for a long period of time. The same worked for Dragon.

She had always enjoyed fried chicken, but after the incident today, she had no mood to enjoy the food, which suddenly had turned tasteless to her. Running thoughts on her mind, she suddenly thought about how she and Allen differed when it came to their preferences. She loved to eat, but Allen didn't. He would buy her fried chicken and watch her eat, yet he himself would eat nothing. It was like… Charlie with Evelyn.

Mocking at herself, Elsa tried to gather herself and stop thinking about those things. As a person who had always accepted what life would give her, she didn't want to dig to the bottom of why Allen suddenly wanted a break-up with her. Yesterday, she was so happy to hang around with him at the night market. While today, he told her that he wanted to break up with her. He didn't even give her any reason, and dumped her like that, like a piece of scratch paper being tossed in a trash bin.
