Fortunately, her revelation went unnoticed by everyone, who were all too preoccupied with the supposed crisis. 

Alex smirked. I get it now. Kurt went to such lengths to set this trick up for the purpose of impressing Carlene. Then, I shall grant his wish. 

Hence, Alex ignored the call for help. 

As Alex suspected, Kurt exclaimed, “Don’t be afraid, I’ll save you! You filthy reptile! Just come to me!” 

As he spoke, he projected himself towards the “alligator.” 

“Wow!” 

“How manly! He’s so cool!” 

“Is he not scared at all?” 

Several women on the shore were trapped by his outlandish performance. Their eyes were glued to him as they clapped thunderously. 

He’s not even afraid to take on an alligator! What an impressive man! 

Only Jessica did not share their sentiment. For some reason, seeing that Alex did not come to her rescue make her feel rather sad and uncomfortable. 

This may be normal seeing how dangerous the situation is. 

So why am I so upset? 

Why didn’t he come and save me? 

The rest of the men did. They ignored the danger and protected me. 

It looks like I’ve put too much thought into this…. 

While Jessica was lost in her strange heartache, the “alligator” was making a beeline for Carlene. 

Carlene turned as white as a sheet. Her whole body was trembling as she shrieked, “Save me, Kurt!” 

Although I’ve collected many experiences, we’re still talking about an actual alligator here! 

The corners of Kurt’s lips curled upwards. Haha! Just watch as I become her knight in shining armor!Hahaha! 

Not only will I prove my masculinity to Carlene, but I’ll also sweep the victory for myself. 

All my hard work was for this. 

However, the “alligator” seemed to be unusually aggressive. It charged into all the women and thrashed about violently. 

Yet it did not seem to be biting anyone. 

A few of the young men realized something was off. Their courage surged and they jumped into action to

protect their female companions. 

Only Alex remained on the fence. He quietly reclined and watched the scene unfold. 

When Jessica saw that, her spirits plummeted. 

Even at such a crucial moment, he makes no move to come and save me! 

I guess I’ve been deluding myself. 

“Hurry, Kurt! Hurry!” 

Carlene was overwhelmed with fear. Why is it only chasing me?

“Don’t be afraid, Carlene! I’m coming!” Kurt broke out in a wide smile and made a show of swimming over to her. While he moved, he pulled out his dagger. 

He had prepared the dagger in advance. 

He was demonstrating a level of courage that surpassed everyone’s expectation of him. 

He made it to Carlene in just a moment as though he had been injected with adrenaline. He wrapped one arm around her slender waist while the other hand clutched the dagger. He waved the dagger ferociously in front of the ‘alligator‘ as he bellowed, “You beast! Know your place! How dare you try and harm my friend! You’re dead meat!” 

He pulled Carlene tightly against himself. As he felt her supple skin press against his, his heart sang with delight. 

Carlene was none the wiser. She was still exceedingly frightened and failed to notice Kurt’s lecherous intent. 

Instead, she encircled her arms around his neck and plastered herself to him in all her fear. She was extremely touched by his heroic act. 

I always knew he had feelings for me. He had publicly announced that he wanted to woo me on numerous occasions after all. 

But I’ve never responded his show of affection. 

I never expected him to come to my aid in such a perilous situation. He didn’t even spare a thought for his own safety and rushed over to me immediately. 

Carlene was incredibly touched. 

If I manage to survive this, I’ll agree to go out with him.
