Chapter 441: Chapter 441: The Golden Boy and the Jade Girl, A Naturally Perfect Pair (1)
It had already taken a great deal of courage for her to say it once, and the second time… Ruby clenched her fingers tightly. After a long while, she said in a low voice, “I said, I don’t dislike you touching me…”
Ruby’s voice was still pitifully small, but her words were much clearer, allowing Steve to hear them distinctly.
When Ruby said this again, her dark eyes were constantly looking at Steve. However, as she finished speaking, she shyly lowered her eyelids, no longer daring to look at him.
Ruby continued to tightly clench her fingers, holding her breath.
What she said was not ‘I love you’, ‘I want to be with you’, ‘I miss you’… Not any warm or touching words of affection.
All she said was a simple sentence, “I don’t dislike you touching me…”
But for Steve, he felt that this sentence was the most beautiful one he had ever heard in his life.
Happiness had come so quickly that he could hardly digest it; his entire body seemed frozen, unable to react at all.
The room was very quiet, with only the faint, dim light lingering softly.
Ruby waited for a long time without hearing Steve’s voice. Her shyness gradually began to be overshadowed by uneasy feelings.
Did Steve not believe what she said?
Anxiety welled up in Ruby’s heart. She bit the corner of her lip, struggling for a while before speaking again, “Steve, everything I said is true.”
There was still no response from the man, as if she was the only one in the bedroom, talking to the air.
“Steve, what do you need for you to believe that everything I said is true?” Ruby felt increasingly anxious and even a little angry, her words became chaotic, disordered. “Steve, you liar!”
Steve’s mind had been muddled, feeling that everything was so unreal. Suddenly, he was accused of being a liar by an indignant Ruby. He froze for a moment, his eyebrows furrowing together.
“You used to say you’d believe whatever I said… You believed me when I was slandered back in high school. You said you would believe me even if the whole world didn’t…”
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Steve’s eyes. He didn’t wait for Ruby to finish speaking; he rolled over, pressed against Ruby, and fiercely sealed her lips with a kiss.
His kiss was intense, with trembling lips, even his hand, which held her head, was shaking.
So, she actually remembered some things, didn’t she?
She still remembered the promise he had once made to her.
Maybe others didn’t know what her words meant, but he knew what she was talking about.
As soon as Ruby entered high school, her popularity spread throughout the entire campus. She was beautiful, came from a good family, and although her academic performance was not the best, it was considered above average. She could perform an amazing, stunning dance, and paint lively, dreamlike oil paintings. In any case, she was a perfect person.
When someone is too outstanding, it’s inevitable that others become jealous. Some people hid their jealousy deep in their hearts, while others couldn’t bear it and took action.
Thus, during Christmas that year, when the class organized a group activity, Ruby encountered trouble.
