"Hungry?"
Nathan smiled, as if he had read her mind.
Lily nodded. Eating was the most important thing in her life. Because of Jack, she couldn't have breakfast.
"I didn't have breakfast. I got up late and didn't have time."
She touched the tip of her nose, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
"Let's go together."
Then he grabbed her wrist and walked out.
Wait? What's going on?
Lowering her head, she stared blankly at the wrist held by someone, and a trace of panic flashed through her eyes.
She quickly got rid of his hand and quickened her pace.
"Lily, why are you walking so fast?"
He looked relaxed, as if he was not embarrassed at all.
"I... I'm hungry."
She left him in a hurry and trotted all the way to the canteen.
Looking at her fleeing back, he suddenly pursed his lips and smiled.
'I'm back. You can't run away.'
'Oh, my God! What happened just now? Nathan actually held my hand?'
She rushed to the canteen and found a seat, looking incredulous and surprised.
This was the first time that Nathan had held her hand. Even in the school, the two had never been intimate.
In the eyes of outsiders, they were just good friends.
Perhaps, secret love was painful and happy. In this world, it seemed that only she knew that she liked Nathan. No, Jack also knew it.
Thinking of what he had said to her last time, she couldn't help shivering. She wondered who this man was and why he knew everything.
