It was so awkward that she compared Mark, a nice man, to the devil.
"Well, Mark. It's you."
Elaine believed that her smile at this moment must be really ugly.
"Did you come out so early because you were thinking of having dinner with me? I'm glad you valued our date."
Date... Elaine's heart skipped a beat.
'Date? Is this a date?'
If she had known that a meal would be called a date, she would not have agreed.
Elaine did not know what to say, so she could only rubbed her left shoe against the ground and smiled in embarrassment.
"Come on. I'll walk you back to your dorm so that you can change clothes."
Mark suddenly snatched Elaine's book, leaving her in confusion. When she realized, there was nothing in her hand. Mark's delicate eyes glanced at Elaine, "Let's go, or do you want to stand here forever?"
"OK."
Elaine could only pout with her head lowered when she followed behind Mark in the campus.
Suddenly Mark chuckled softly.
Elaine was a little surprised, "Mark, what are you laughing at?"
'Is there anything wrong with me?'
Elaine inexplicably looked down at her clothes.
Mark turned around and smiled at Elaine tenderly. "I was thinking that if my friends saw you following me, they would be so surprised."
...
Elaine blushed and plucked up her courage, saying, "Mark, actually I don't think I should go to dinner with you. I don't think it's appropriate..."
"I don't think so."
"What?"
"I think it's very appropriate for you, other than someone else, to come with me."
Mark looked deeply at Elaine. His gaze was so burning that Elaine did not dare to look at him. She could only lower her head and quicken her pace.
Now, instead of Mark, it was Elaine who was leading the way.
Elaine walked quickly, as if she wanted to rob something.
Elaine opened the door in bewilderment. Mark naturally followed her in and then calmly sat on the sofa. "I'll wait here when you change your clothes."
"OK."
Elaine glanced at Mark and ran into her bedroom upstairs in panic.
'What should I do? Am I really going to eat with Mark? I'm flustered.'
Elaine held her phone and quickly dialed a number.
Just as she was about to dial the phone, she was stunned.
'Why would I want to ask Emmett for help first?'
This super lucky number belonged to Emmett.
Elaine lowered her hand and mumbled, "I'm so useless".
She had already broken up with Emmett, and it was her that made this decision. Now that their relationships were over, why would she still want to contact Emmett?
So embarrassing!
"No! Elaine, do you even realize how embarrassed you are? It's self-abandonment! Forget about the past! Start over! "
Elaine leaned her head against the mirror and hypnotized herself over and over again.
Half an hour later, Elaine finally went downstairs.
Mark had already flipped through their magazines many times.
"Done? Are we setting off now?"
Mark stood up and looked at Elaine, his heart beating wildly.
So beautiful!
She was so beautiful that it made his heart beat with excitement when she dressed up a little bit.
...
Elaine replied softly. Seeing Mark's burning gaze at her, she felt a little embarrassed again.
She deliberately chose plain clothes. After all, this was all Emmett's fault. The clothes he bought for her were all international brands. It took her a long time for choosing clothing that was unpretentious.
With great difficulty, she dressed up ordinarily, leaving her long hair down.
She wore a simple pink hairpin in case her hair would dance in the air and cover her eyes.
And the bangs were cute.
However, Mark was still amazed by her ordinary look.
"It's my honor to take you out to dinner. You're beautiful."
Mark kept on praising Elaine, making her blushed and even more uneasy.
Now that she reminded that although Bad-bear was very violent towards others, she was really relaxed in front of him.
Back then, everything was simple and real.
She didn't need to disguise herself as a lady in front of Bad-bear. She could do whatever she wanted, and didn't have to worry about anything.
But when she was with Mark, she would always spontaneously warn herself that she had to behave appropriately.
