“That… Well, alright. Let me add you on WeChat. I’ll definitely let you know when it happens!”
Gerald didn’t know what else to say.
He couldn’t just refuse and turn around to leave. He just wasn’t that kind of person. After all, Giya would definitely lose face if he had left without accepting her offer.
So he simply went along and added Giya on his WeChat account.
Of course, Gerald wasn’t that narcissistic to believe that such a beautiful goddess would ever like him.
Even after adding her on WeChat, he felt that they wouldn’t be talking much with each other anyway.
He tried his best not to think too much about it.
Once the exchange was done, Giya took the bracelet with her as she walked upstairs again. At the time, several of the girls were still doubtful about Gerald’s claims.
“Giya! Giya, he didn’t want to take it back?” asked the girls with smiles on their faces as they saw her slowly return to their table.
“Hahaha! See, I guessed correctly! Gerald’s absolutely in love with you, Giya! He’s given you the most precious and valuable thing in his family! That alone is enough to explain everything!” said Tammy confidently.
“That’s right! The rest of you probably hadn’t noticed earlier, but Gerald had been looking at Giya as though he was afraid that she would reject his gift!”
“Hey, hey! All of you should know that this kind of jade bracelet is usually given to a family’s future daughter-in-law! Hahaha! That kid’s really smart!”
The girls continued talking among themselves in glee.
“Alright girls, settle down. Gerald’s not how you guys are imagining him to be like at all. He’s not a cunning or scheming person. I honestly hope that you girls will stop picking on him all the time in the future!” said Giya with a slightly forced smile on her face.
“Oh? Being protective and defensive of Gerald? Giya, don’t tell me you’ve…” said Tammy as she acted out a look of surprise while looking at Giya.
“If you spout any more nonsense, then I’m buying three trays of buns later to stuff them up your foul mouth!”
The girls simply laughed at that and continued chatting.
Gerald on the other hand, couldn’t go back to the library. When he arrived there, it was already full.
Seeing nowhere else to go, he sighed before returning to his dormitory to study instead.
