You Are The Apple of My Eyes novel Chapter 18

Nina ran in a straight dart towards the university with Michelle closely behind in pursuit. She didn't stop until they reached a safe place.

After a while, Michelle came to her senses and finally exclaimed, "Campus belle, you just hit your uncle!"

Nina corrected her and said, "He is not my uncle."

"But you call him uncle."

Nina explained patiently, "He is not my real uncle."

"Okay," Michelle nodded. "But you can't hit someone just like that."

Nina rolled her eyes secretly.

She was done trying to get through to this girl. She changed the topic and asked, "You haven't seen that man before. What were you trying to catch him in the act of adultery?"

"Oh, we've been talking over the Internet!" Michelle shyly covered her face with her hands, revealing a sweet smile.

This girl was head over heels in love.

Nina warned, "Online love is risky. You should be more careful when you meet him."

Michelle had never met the man in person before, and yet she had been trying to catch him in the act of adultery. Online dating was really unreliable!

Nina and Michelle chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms. Michelle gave Nina her number before leaving. Michelle didn't forget to remind Nina to pay for the sweet potato. Actually, she was hoping Nina would contact her soon.

After that night, Nina didn't meet John again for a week. Students in the college were still talking about the hot posts regarding Isabella and Nina.

Even if the two posts were deleted, everyone had already seen them. The gossip wouldn't stop. It was on the lips of every student on the campus.

It took a while but eventually all of the hype around them died down and was replaced with some new topic.

The new thing was deciding whether Albert or James was more handsome.

Albert was a senior student and was about to graduate and leave school in June. Therefore, James became the top one on the list of school hunks.

Nina always heard her classmates talking about how to flirt with James. She once heard that a girl from the information science department always chased after James.

Nina knew the girl they were talking about was Michelle, but she didn't think that Michelle would be so persistent.

It was no surprise that Michelle ended up crying because of this. She broke down right in front of Nina, sobbing uncontrollably. Through her sobs, she said that James just fooled around with her.

Nina was hardly surprised, but she couldn't understand how Michelle was feeling. She could only listen and comfort the girl, then ask her if she wanted to eat something.

Michelle's face was drenched with tears, but as soon as she heard her ask about food, all her troubles slipped away. She held Nina's hand and they were off to the snack street.

She was really easy to coax and her mood changed so erratically. She soon started coming to find Nina every day and took her to eat all kinds of delicious food, as if she had forgotten all about James.

It seemed that in Michelle's world, eating solved everything.

Initially, Nina couldn't stand how much Michelle talked. It was just a nonstop barrage of words. She got used to it later and was actually kind of interested in hearing what she had to say.

Michelle even started calling her Nini as some form of nickname. One of the days, Michelle waited for Nina outside the classroom. After class, she held Nina's arm intimately and said with a smile, "Nini, let's go to the canteen for lunch today."

"What new dishes are there?" Nina always knew what Michelle was thinking.

"Just a bunch of delicious stuff. Can you go with me? It's my treat." Michelle showed her meal card with a hopeful expression. Since they knew each other for quite a while now, Michelle knew just how to trick Nina into agreeing with her. Every time she acted like a spoiled child, Nina had no choice but to agree with her.

Michelle noticed that Nina didn't eat much every time they went somewhere. She always just assumed that Nina was trying to save her money or something so she always treated Nina to dinner.

Nina was not good at rejecting Michelle's enthusiasm. She just hoped that she could pay her back in some way in the future.

The meal was going to be much different today though. They ended up running into James!

It had become part of James' daily routine to eat in front of the crowd of girls. He loved the attention he would get from all the girls and his entourage only added to his ego. Today was no exception.

"The campus belle, Nina? Why is she in the canteen so much recently?" "Isn't that Michelle from the information science department next to her? The one who shamelessly chases after the school hunk."

Hearing Nina's name, James was stunned. Was she the one who caused him to end up like this?
