27I didn't know how good Joseph was at cooking, but I had high hopes for him and had been looking forward to leaving the hospital soon. However, the last thing before I left the hospital nearly made me cry and lose my appetite."Wait! I can't! It'll hurt."As soon as I woke up the day I left the hospital, Noah stood beside me with tweezers in his hand, trying to do suture removal for me. And that scared me.Noah said, "Come on, you can leave after the suture removal."I hid under the quilt and said angrily, "Go get another doctor for me. You'll make me hurt."After all, Noah never knew how to take good care of people, and I was worried that he would make me bleed as he did the suture removal for me.Noah chuckled and said, "Fine, I'll get you Mr. Moore."Wait. What?Now I realized what Noah was planning.However, before Noah walked out of the room, Joseph hurried to the door. He walked quickly to Noah and held out his hand to him.Noah nodded and gave Joseph the tweezers.

[How did you know that?]I was going to call her out for dinner and tell her about it after I fully recovered. To my surprise, she had already known it.Emma: [You admitted it!]Then Emma quickly sent me a screenshot of Joseph's post on Instagram.It was the picture of me trying to get to the dishwasher.It came with the caption: [Look at this lovely girl.]Was this Joseph?I thought a cool man like him wouldn't have an interest in Instagram. Besides, after I followed him on Instagram, I checked his profile immediately and saw no posts there.Someone said in the comment: [Sharon gave me two dollars to do attendance for you.]Joseph: [?]When I saw this, I collapsed on the inside. Someone helped me! What should I do?As my heart kept racing, I realized that Emma didn't follow Joseph on Instagram, so I texted her back. [Where did you get the screenshot?]Emma:
Author: Mo Wang Sang Sang My bestie's brother was a cool guy.When I met him for the first time, he went out of the bathroom and covered my head with a coat.Chelsea, my bestie tried to smooth things over. "This is my friend. Is she beautiful?"He looked at me coldly and said in a mean tone, "Ugly."Well, you might be a handful, but I knew how to deal with this type.I showed him my care and consideration for a long time.In the end, I gave up.He was still so arrogant that he didn't even call me sister.Two days after I gave up, he sent me the first message.Cool guy: [Are you playing hard to get?]Cool guy: [Cecilia.]1When I took something to Chelsea and went to her home, I happened to see a handsome man who was half-naked after the shower.The handsome man had long legs and well-proportioned muscles, and only underpants covered his private part.Before I could have a closer look, I was covered by a coat pocket.I didn't realize it until my eyes were covered. I cou
5Damn it!I started my acting immediately. I staggered toward Austin and lisped, "You haven't left yet..."He stared at me without saying a word, and the scene was very embarrassing.Fortunately, I was thick-skinned enough to pretend to be drunk. I leaned against Austin and muttered something inexplicable."Are you worried about me?"I knew the answer was not."Sure enough, you care about me..."It was getting weirder."Do you have a crush on me?"What was I talking about?Unexpectedly, Austin didn't push me away. He stood straight like a sculpture, letting me lean against him.I didn't want to know whether he had figured that I was pretending to be drunk or not. I looked at him and asked aggrievedly, "I have put on exquisite makeup today. Do you think I look good?"Austin's eyes lowered as he suddenly reached out and pinched my cheeks.I was so shocked by his sudden movement that I forgot to react and let him pinch my face at his will.He stared at me and chuckled, "Ug
9For adults, it was easy to forget someone.Even though I was interested in Austin before, I quickly forgot about him out of my busy life and work.During this period, Chelsea asked me about it. [How are you and my brother doing?]Me: [What do you mean?]Chelsea: [Don't play dumb. What happened?]I could even imagine her gossiping over the phone.I pursed my lips [I give up.]Chelsea: [What?]Chelsea: [Is my brother so difficult to deal with? Even you failed?]Ignoring her tease, I turned to look through the WhatsApp of Austin.The chat record was still the last time he replied to me after the basketball match two days ago.He didn't update his Instagram either.It seemed that time had stopped since I chose to give up.I quickly shook off this idea.It was not that time stood still but that my departure had no effect on Austin.Thinking of this, I was indignant.We'd known each other for a long time, but he had never sent me any messages.I leaned over the table and
13In the evening, I invited Austin to have dinner.Because I didn't have any feelings for him anymore, I didn't pay too much attention to my image. I packed up casually and went to the appointment.From afar, I saw him standing on the roadside.Wearing black casual pants, he was tall and thin. With his hands in his pockets, he bowed his head and kicked the stones on the roadside. His good-looking side face was blurred under the street lamp.The night wind blew his soft hair, full of youth.I knew he was handsome, somehow he looked especially handsome tonight.He seemed to have dressed up specially.I walked over and called his name.Austin raised his head.Then he strode towards me with starry eyes.In the restaurant, I sat opposite Austin.After he got drunk yesterday, I felt uncomfortable and didn't know what to say.Austin didn't say anything either. The atmosphere was very quiet and filled with embarrassment.I cleared my throat and finally opened the topic. "How are
Author: You San Brandon slowly loosened his tie, approached me, and said in a deep voice, "How is a kid better than a man?"Before he could touch me, William stopped him. "Old men are useless. They have just pretty faces. I suggest you be a bit more sensible."Brandon smiled and looked at me. "You tell him. Am I useful?"I stammered but was unable to get a proper word out. I waved at them and ran away.1Brandon Jones was my first crush.When I was a freshman, he spoke on behalf of the students at the orientation party. I fell in love with Brandon at first sight and was completely head over heels for him ever since.I was not the only one who fell in love with him that day, but I was the most obsessed.I didn't date or skip classes in my four years at university, throwing myself instead into my studies just so I could catch up to him.I had thought we would be like Noah and Allie, but Brandon didn't even know my name.I joined the same club as him, and I summoned the courag
4I was overthinking.Brandon was only looking for me because of work. His assistant was on maternity leave, and I happened to be available. Looking at his business-like expression, I pinched myself hard. I told myself to wake up and not think about those useless things.Brandon was handling a financial dispute case, and the client was a foreman working at a construction site. The boss delayed paying their wages, and the client was unable to provide an explanation to his fellow construction workers. Some radical ones went to his house every day, holding up banners while threatening him. This time, we went there to investigate and collect evidence.On the way, Brandon said to me, "Make sure to be sharp later on. Follow behind me and don't act rashly."I wondered if he was worried about me. As soon as that thought entered my head, I immediately dismissed it. No, I shouldn't be touched at all. He was merely doubting my ability."Okay, Mr. Jones," I replied professionally. However, I
