""""Luis, there arethe post has already garnered over four hundred replies to the post,responses and it'sthe number is still rapidly increasing... I'm afraid this will soonclimbing. I fear it won't be known throughoutlong before the entire school,"" is aware," Otto said.
""Shut up! Shut up!"" Luis shouted angrilywarned, his voice laced with concern."Silence! Enough!" Luis roared, his anger directed at Otto.
At that moment, Luis's His eyes had turned red,, bloodshot and he waswild, were on the vergebrink of exploding. If this matter became known bymadness. The thought of his humiliation becoming common knowledge throughout the entire school, how could he ever show his face again?
Luis was unbearable. He felt likeas though he was going crazy.
""Bastards!spiraling towards insanity."Damn you, Eric and Sharon, it must be you!! It musthas to be theyou two of youbehind this! If you dare to ruin me, I will make youtarnish my reputation, I swear you'll pay!"" Luis shouted furiously.
...
6:20 in dearly!" Luis bellowed, his fury echoing off the walls.---As the evening.
At crept in, the clock struck 6:20. The entrance of New York University.
"" was bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun."Eric, over here.""," Sharon, standing at the gate, waved to Eric with a called out, her sweet smile.
""You're here early."" Eric said while walking towards Sharon.
visible even from a distance. She was standing by the gate, waving him over."You're early," Eric noted as he approached her. They had agreed to meet at 6:30 in the evening, and there were still ten minutes left until the appointed time. Eric had originally, and he had planned to arrive ten minutes early.
Eric didn't expectahead of time. He hadn't expected Sharon to arrive even earlier than himself.
""beat him to it."I didn't want to keep you to wait too long.""waiting," Sharon said with areplied, her smile faint smile.
After hearing heryet sincere.Her words, left Eric couldn't help but bemomentarily stunned. Her words deeplyHe was touched him.
""by her thoughtfulness. "Sharon, there are very few girlsit's rare to find a girl as considerate and thoughtful as you towards guys."" Eric couldn't help but say.
When Eric was dating as you," he admitted. He remembered how Wendy before, he, his previous girlfriend, would alwaysoften arrive earlylate for their dates. But he never expected Sharon to be even more punctual.
""With you being so thoughtful, it's rare,"" Eric said with admiration.
Wendy almost, always arrived a bit late, sometimes even more than half an hour late. Andarmed with an excuse. On the other hand, Sharon was different; s she always finds excuses for herself, saying it's normal for girls to be half an hour late for a date and that guys should wait.
Now Eric realizes that Wendy and Sharon are not comparable. Sharon iswas punctual and considerate, fearing that Eric would wait for too long and arriving early. She is truly a thoughtful girl.
When Sharon hears Eric calling her considerate, her face turned a shade of red.
"".Sharon blushed at his compliment. "Let's go., I am really looking forwardI'm eager to see your cookingculinary skills,""," Eric says with asuggested, his smile.
Usually, warm and inviting.---Sharon takesusually took the bus to go home as it is the most, a cost-effective mode of transportation. Eric follows Sharon and they take Eric, having grown up with limited means, was accustomed to taking the bus home together.
Eric used to be a poor boy and would often takeas well. Thus, they boarded the bus home. It has become a habit for Eric.
together, heading towards Sharon's home.On the bus, Sharon suddenly reaches out her fair hand, tugsreached out and tugged at the corner of Eric's clothes, and then chuckles withshirt, her hand coveringlaughter muffled behind her mouth.
""hand. "Eric, does the livestream post on the forum ofabout Luis, does it have anything to do with you?""
Because Sharon knew that the livestream of eating feces was a bet between Eric and Luis. She believed it was impossible for Luis to willingly do it. Instead, Luis should have put up a strong resistance. So, who could have forced Luis to livestream it? Sharon could only think of Eric.
""?" she asked, her curiosity piqued."Have you seen it too?""?" Eric smiles.
""responded, his smile teasing."I don't want todidn't watch that kind of video. I'mit. I was afraid it'llit would ruin my appetite. However, the video has gone viralBut it's all anyone at school, so of course, I know,"" is talking about," Sharon says.
Pausing for a moment, Sharon curiously asked, ""admitted. She paused, her curiosity getting the better of her. "Eric, I'm really curious. Whatwhat did you do to make Luis actually dogo through with such a livestream? It must have been difficult.""
""quite a challenge.""Well, it'sthat's a secret,""," Eric grins.
Ericreplied, his grin widening. He didn't want to reveal his true identity to Sharon, so he couldn’t talk aboutor the methods he had used.
As for the reason why Eric doesn't want to expose his identity, it's quite simple. Eric is afraid that Sharon will become distant towards him out of reverence once she knows his true identity.
More importantly, Eric wanted to interact with Sharon in an ordinary capacity. The friendship in this situation is the most authentic and precious.
""Alright.""
Seeing that Eric didn't elaborate, Sharon didn't pursue the matter further. But she increasingly felt that there may be some secrets about Eric.
The bus is slow, and they sit on it for more than an hour before arriving at Sharon's home.
---Sharon's home iswas located in an old neighborhood from , dating back to the 1990s.
Entering the neighborhood.
""Eric, I was originally planning As they entered, she turned to Eric. "I had planned to take you to a restaurant for dinner, but. But instead, I'm inviting you to my home for a simple homemade meal.""
"".""Aunt Debra, how cancould you say such things ofabout me? I'm not that kind of person!""!" Sharon protested, feeling her voice tinged with hurt and wronged.disbelief.
Eric brows
Eric's brow furrowed and he couldn't tolerate the, a deep crease marking his displeasure. He had a high tolerance for personal insults. While he could take being called a customer, implying, but the insinuation that Sharon was a prostitute was crossing the line.
""Sharonwoman of ill repute was a step too far."Sharon, there's no need to defend yourself. I understand that you're taking clients to earn money,""," Aunt Debra said, adopting. Her words were coated with a facadeveneer of being understanding, but with a sarcasticthe sarcasm in her tone.
"" was unmistakable."Aunt Debra, you...you..."" Sharon's..." Sharon stammered, her eyes welledwelling up with tears as she felt even more aggrieved.
. The injustice of the situation was overwhelming.Eric had finally seenhad enough. """How can you be like this? ?" he demanded, his brow furrowing even deeper. "At the very least, you're Sharon's neighbor. Do you think it's right to tarnish a young girl's innocence in such a way?"" he said, furrowing his brow.
""?""You dare to talk to me like this, young man! Do you even know who my daughter is?""?" Aunt Debra retorted, her gaze haughty as she stared down at Eric in a haughty manner.
""."I don't care who your daughter is. It's better for you not to provoke me. Otherwise, you won't be able to stand the consequences,""," Eric squintedretorted, his eyes narrowing at the middle-aged woman.
"""I won't be able to stand it? Haha, that's truly laughable! With your impoverished appearance, you dare to say such things?""?" Aunt Debra lookedscoffed, her eyes raking over Eric up and down, full of with disdain.
Seeing the situation escalating, Sharon pulledintervened, pulling Eric back. """Eric, let's not argue with her.""
Although."Despite her deep sense of grievance, Sharon felt deeply aggrieved, she had endured hardships throughout the years and could still had developed a resilience that allowed her to hold on.
Sharon pulled herself away and remained silent. If Sharon hadn't held him back, Eric really wanted to slap this middle-aged woman twice.
But would have gladly given the middle-aged woman didn't stop there. ""a piece of his mind.However, Aunt Debra was not finished. "Sharon, you and my daughter Susan were in the same year, but compared to her, you are far behind. Susan is already a manager now. Look at yourself, what have you become?"" The middle-aged woman said sarcastically. It was clear that her ?" Her words were meant to show off her daughterdripping with sarcasm, clearly intended to flaunt her daughter's success and belittle and mock Sharon.
"""Aunt Debra, I have something to do, so I'll go home.""," Sharon said and gritted, gritting her teeth , taking outas she fumbled for her keys to open the door.
Sharon didn't want to get entangled with the middle-aged woman anymore.
At that moment She was done with this pointless argument.Just then, another figure appeared from the door of the middle-aged woman'sAunt Debra's house.
Eric took a closer look and saw squinted, taking in the sight of a young woman with heavy makeup, wearing high heels, and a revealing outfit, with some charm.
""My Daughter. There was a certain allure about her."My daughter, are you getting ready for work?"" The middle-aged woman smiled?" Aunt Debra asked, smiling at the young woman.
Obviously, this young woman who walked out of the house was the middle-aged woman’s It was clear that this was Susan, the daughter, the Susan she Aunt Debra had just mentioned.
When Susan sawbeen boasting about.Upon seeing Sharon and Eric, sheSusan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "". "Sharon, you brought your boyfriend home?""
""?""He’s not a boyfriend, more like a customer,"" the middle-aged woman said sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, ," Aunt Debra interjected, her voice laced with sarcasm.Susan couldn’t help but cover her mouth and stifled a laugh. """Mom, don’t say that. This guy looks so poor, he probably can’t even afford it. How could he be a customer? Clearly, he just wants to freeload under the guise of dating!""
""!""You’re right,"" the middle-aged woman nodded.
," Aunt Debra agreed, nodding.Susan lookedturned back atto Sharon and said with, a disdainful smile, ""smirk playing on her lips. "Sharon, we’re friends after all. As a friend, let me give you some advice. Don’t settle for such a poor guy as your boyfriend. He has no future.""."
