Mark smiled embarrassedly. His eyes were filled with tenderness, and his face wore a gentle smile.
"Elaine, it's also a good thing that the school suddenly decided to let you go out for art collection. It's good for the improvement of your painting. Remember to study hard and take good care of yourself out there. The sea breeze over there is quite strong. Pay attention to keep warm."
Mark said gently, and Elaine nodded her head vigorously.
In the end, Elaine was so moved that she looked at Mark and said,
"Mark, thank you. You are so considerate."
“Mark is so careful!” Elaine thought.
Michael puckered in a smile. "Is he considerate? I didn't notice! Mark the Genius is famous for his indifferent manner! Why is he only considerate to you, Elaine? Mark? Tell me about it!"
...
Elaine immediately glared at Michael, puffed up her cheeks, and retorted,
"You're talking nonsense! Mark has been famous for being gentle and refined since high school! He’s not like what you said, right, Mark?"
“Ahem!” The other three geniuses all coughed in unison exaggeratedly.
Mark then put his fist to his lips and smiled down.
His eyes were covered with deep affection.
Mark's gentle gaze was like the warm sunlight, covering Elaine's head, making her feel warm and her heart beat abnormally.
"What Elaine said is correct."
Patrick made a vomiting expression and urged Mark,
"Hey, Mark, where's your gift? Haven’t you prepared a parting gift? Why don't you take it out? I drove to the mall so quickly."
A gift?(⊙_⊙)
Elaine was stunned.
Really? Was Mark actually so thoughtful?
Mark blushed and took out a paper bag from his bag. He took two steps forward and handed it to Elaine.
"This is ... for you..."
Mark did not speak as smoothly as usual with some shyness in his eyes.
Elaine gapped her eyes and timidly stretched out her small hands, as she was afraid that the bag Mark had given her would contain a biting dinosaur.
"What ... is this?"
"A scarf. The sea breeze over there is quite strong. Be careful to keep warm."
Oh... I was just curious at his words. Mark mentioned the sea breeze in Iceland. That was just an excuse to give me this.
A scarf.
Elaine tilted her head and opened the bag. She took out the checked wool scarf and grabbed it in her hand. It was so soft and felt very good.
"Mark... It’s costing you much... I feel so bad..."
Elaine grinned. Actually, she liked the classic checked scarf.
It had both the style of the academy and the taste of home. It was very suitable for people like her.
...
But she felt it was rude to try it on right away. She had to say something polite.
It was the Chinese style of accepting gifts. You had to act like this.
Mark smiled gently. Before he could say anything, Patrick said,
"You don't have to worry about the money. Mark is so rich, extraordinarily rich. Besides, it took him a lot of effort to pick this scarf for you. He dragged me to almost every store in the mall. Look, even the soles of my shoes were worn."
Elaine's eyes widened a little.
Mark chuckled, "Don't listen to him. He's exaggerating."
"Exaggerating? I'm telling the truth! Didn't you delay the summit meeting just to buy this scarf?"
Mark quickly glanced at Elaine and then glared at Patrick.
Patrick grinned and said, "Alright, I said too much. Oh, looks like this is such a thankless task."
Elaine failed to keep up with the thinking of these great geniuses.
She was confused by what they said to each other.
Franklin was howling on the phone again because of his website, causing Elaine to be even more confused.
She opened her crystal eyes wide and looked at Mark blankly.
Mark reached out and touched Elaine's head. His gentle movements were filled with love.
"Be careful out there. Don't try to be a hero when things go wrong or wander around carelessly. Follow the team. I'll wait for you to come back."
(⊙_⊙)
“I'll wait for you to come back...”
These few words made Elaine frozen there!
What did he mean?
“I'll wait for you to come back.” What did that mean?
