Cheyenne handed her phone to the redhead youth and propped up her chin with one hand, looking at him with a smirk on her face. She swung her delicate feet, which were also flawlessly beautiful. Her feet were naturally small and had some cute round toes that looked adorable with red nail polish on them.
But just one glance made the redhead youth feel like he couldn't take it anymore. His heart should be occupied by his goddess Nora, but his gaze involuntarily fell on Cheyenne.
"Miss Lawrence, can you stop smiling at me like that? It's creepy," he said softly.
"I can, but you have to tell me your name first," Cheyenne replied while still smiling at him. Her eyes shimmered like water, making her look more fairy-like than ever before.
The young man averted his gaze, trembling slightly. He softly replied, "But my name is hard to pronounce..."
Suddenly, he felt a warmth on his face, as if...
"Come on, I like to derive my happiness from others' pain. What's your name, hmm? You are talking bad about me behind my back, but I don't even know what to call you."
"Jerry." His voice was very soft, and Cheyenne's lips twitched.
"What? Speak up! Say it again!" she demanded impatiently.
This time Jerry finally gathered enough courage to raise his head and shout out loud, "I said my name is Jerry!"
The whole venue fell silent for almost ten seconds before laughter erupted from all around them. Many curious or mocking gazes were thrown their way.
The sound of laughter spread through the venue.
Even Nora turned around to look at them with a smile playing across her lips.
He had always paid attention to every detail about Nora - what kind of hair ties she used today or when she changed into a new dress - yet now when she looked at him, there was nothing special in those eyes except amusement mixed with ridicule as if hearing about some stranger's embarrassing story among other bystanders who enjoyed watching others' misfortunes unfold before their eyes.
At this moment, Jerry couldn't be more embarrassed!
Upon closer inspection, Jerry was actually quite thin with a dignified appearance, but his recent lack of sleep had caused dark circles under his eyes. Ironically, these circles made his fair skin look even paler.
Cheyenne raised an eyebrow slightly, but she vividly recalled another incident.
