4The school was indeed a land for gossip. In just a few days, all the girls in the school knew that Harvey was, as I had told them, my neighbor.Suddenly, I became popular. Every day, I was stopped by different girls, asking for my help to deliver love letters.Yvonne wanted to make up for the immense humiliation that the unsigned love letter had caused me, and we became inseparable since.After the evening class ended, I was in a rush to go home, but Yvonne refused to let me go.I grabbed her by the shoulder impatiently. "If you have something to say, tell me now. I have to go home.""Evelyn, I have an autographed photograph of Calum Scott with me. Since it's your birthday today, I want to give it to you."I accepted the gift happily. Only then did I realize a love letter was attached to the autographed photograph.I was speechless. The misunderstanding had just happened a few days ago. I couldn't believe she was attempting to give Harvey a love letter again.I pressed the v

8Harvey took care of me in the hospital day and night for a week.After the kiss, there was always an unspeakable awkwardness between us.Fortunately, I was about to be discharged from the hospital and no longer needed to face him alone.On the day of discharge, Calvin also came.When I saw Calvin, I decisively left Harvey behind and limped toward Calvin with one foot. Calvin raised his gaze and smiled faintly. "Don't move. I'll come over.""Sure!"I couldn't help but feel guilty. I wished Calvin could come to me quickly, as I did not want to stay alone with Harvey anymore.Just then, Harvey suddenly grabbed me by the back of my collar. As he accidentally scratched my neck with his fingertip, I took a deep breath and did not dare to move."Don't you try to run again." His breath fluttered against my ear as he lowered his head and spoke. It felt a little ticklish.I swallowed hard before looking up at Harvey and meeting his deep eyes.At the same time, Calvin also stretche

12Harvey and I had agreed to keep our relationship secret.To others, we were still stepsiblings who shared a bad relationship.Sometimes, I overacted and made some people speak up for Harvey."Evelyn, you've gone too far lately."Calvin patiently advised me, saying, "Harv is not a bad guy. You and Yelena's arrival made him think that Sebastian would forget his late mom. That's why he treats you badly. I grew up with him and know exactly what his character is. Although it's hard for him to accept both of you, he never really hurts you. You've bullied him to the extent that it didn't seem like him anymore."With a hint of guilt in my eyes, I did not have the confidence to explain to Calvin. It seemed that the play appeared too realistic.The bullying Calvin mentioned referred to what just happened.As dark clouds rolled in the gloomy sky, a rainstorm suddenly came. Harvey leaned against the pillar with an umbrella, waiting for me leisurely.Having a guilty conscience, I did no

15Harvey had been following me and keeping his eyes on me for the past two days. Yelena knew my father had returned to the country, so she turned a blind eye to that.Today was my last day here. Harvey and I both kept quiet about it tacitly.When it was almost afternoon, he was obviously anxious.He suddenly called me, saying, "Evelyn."The ordinary name became affectionate and passionate after coming out of his mouth.I covered my ears and dared not to listen.When he saw my reaction, his eyes became even colder. "Why do I feel helpless when you act cute? I thought..."He thought if he did that, it would work for me as well.My heart lurched upon hearing that. It was as if someone had punched me hard, and the pain spread across my organs.Harvey lowered his head and thought for a long time, seemingly wanting to tell me a lot of things he wanted to say today."I regret being so mean to you before. It's my fault."He seemed to think that he would not have the chance anymore

Author: San Yao Si I broke up with Michael Collins.Everyone expected me to beg him to get back together.The next day, I packed everything that had to do with Michael and sent them to the post office without hesitation.I heard that Michael panicked.1It was a rainy night when I broke up with Michael.I didn't have an umbrella with me, so I called Michael. He didn't answer the phone. As a result, I looked like a drowned rat when I reached home. It was only then that I received a message from Michael. He had gone to his childhood sweetheart to bring her an umbrella.How ridiculous it was!The rainwater dripped down my cheeks and fell to the ground, just like my broken heart.I walked into the bedroom. On the bedside table was a photo of him and his childhood sweetheart, Sophia Keatan. In the photo, Sophia was snuggled up beside him and smiling radiantly.I laughed at myself mockingly and put the photo frame face-down on the table.Sophia grew up together with Michael. No
