Elinor was obviously shocked by Victor's words.
Surprised enough that she ran into Victor in the playground, she was confused that he would ask her that question.
She is afraid Victor would change his attitude in a flash.
So after thinking, Elinor chose to shut up. She just looked at Victor and hesitated for a long time. "I thought... you don't want to show a good relationship with me in public."
So Elinor was afraid to do anything by herself. Since Victor hated herself so much, she certainly didn't want her classmates to know about their relationship. So when Elinor was bullied at school, she didn't dare to tell Victor.
To put it another way, maybe it makes no sense to say it or not.
It was as if she could get relief if she asked Victor for help. Who can be sure that what Victor gave her was not another injury?
Victor seemed to notice what Elinor was thinking, but the boy squinting eyes, with a cold look on his face. He stepped forward, Elinor stepped back.
"You... can go home." Elinor doesn't know what to say. "Now it is getting colder, and it gets dark faster, so you should go back early."
Victor Adam's apple moved up and down. At this time in the past, Elinor should have hitchhiked back with him, but now, she stood on the opposite side of him and said, "It's time for you to go back early."
The girl who always follows him seems to have been tired of chasing and stopped chasing.
