"I heard that the less confident a person is about themselves, the more likely they are to say 'believe me' to others."
Song Li said coldly, "Because he is more eager to gain the other party's trust."
Lawrence could not defend himself and hesitated to answer.
How pitiful, he really never thought about not paying back the money he owed... It's just that he couldn't tell the specific time for repayment. How come everyone didn't even have the most basic trust in him!
Lawrence felt that he was suffering too much.
However, just when he thought he had been cruelly rejected by the other party, things seemed to take a turn for the better.
"Speaking of which, why didn't you go to Chris to borrow money instead of borrowing it from me?"
she asked seemingly casually. "I heard that her family's business has made a lot of money recently."
Wayne, who was now considered well-trained, almost immediately heard an alarm in his head.
This is a high-risk issue!
At that moment, he even wanted to steal Lawrence's words and answer it himself.
To prevent him from randomly saying something he shouldn't have said and launching a merciless backstab at him.
"Ah, because I thought... Miss Songli is more gentle than Chris." Lawrence answered naturally.
He even seemed a little shy when he said this.
Wayne:? ? ?
how come? !
How could he understand so well!
Although Wayne showed a complicated expression of self-doubt, Geli actually laughed happily.
"That's it, okay."
She agreed to Lawrence's request in a good mood.
But before Lawrence could show his joy, Song Li put forward a series of additional conditions.
"However, you must provide an IOU as proof, which states the purpose of your expenditure, the total amount of money you need to borrow, and how to arrange the specific repayment plan."
"If you break the contract, don't blame me for being unkind. I will take the IOU and find someone who can make up for the debt you owe."
To put it more clearly, besides the king, queen, and the eldest prince, who else would be able to tell the truth for him?
That kind of scene is probably something Lawrence would never want to accept. Even if he really went to perform on the street, he would not default on the loan.
Kareli-san, who comes from a family background, is indeed very skilled in handling such matters.
The situation took a turn for the worse, and Lawrence slapped the table and stood up.
"Wait for me, I'm going to the library to write a loan receipt right now!" As soon as he said this, he rushed out regardless.
It wasn't until he ran far away that Geli had time to say weakly: "...Actually, there are pens and paper in the kitchen."
However, Lawrence, who had already run away, was destined not to hear these words.
"Well, forget it." She sighed.
At this time, the waiter brought over the drinks ordered by Song Li and peeked at Wayne with some curiosity.
"Speaking of it, this seems to be the first time you have invited me as a guest." She said suddenly. "Besides, it's better to borrow the light of others."
"..."
Wayne was suddenly embarrassed.
When the waiter backed away, he said resentfully: "I've given you all my belongings, am I still missing this cup of coffee?"
Although it is not a treat in person, I am very attentive every time I prepare gifts or something.
"It feels different." She took a sip calmly.
Yes, you are obviously doing the same thing, but just because you say it differently on the surface, it can give people completely different feelings.
If only she, like Lawrence, knew how to say, "Usara is more gentle than Chris," maybe she would be happier than she is now.
Although those things were all medicines used to anesthetize her.
"Do you really... like hearing that kind of talk?" he asked, a little confused.
In front of Ge Li, he really tried his best to be honest.
I also said that I still wanted to be with her.
He also said that he didn’t want to leave Chris’s side.
Those words were embarrassing and bad, but they were all his true words.
In front of Ge Li, he was more frank than in front of Chris, although this frankness may only be naked hurt in her eyes.
"No one likes to hear good things," she said.
"I am no exception."
After receiving this answer, Wayne's mood became slightly depressed.
"I will try my best." He just whispered.
He couldn't compare Song Li and Chris, nor could he verbally belittle one just to please the other.
Because they are extremely important existences in life to me.
Even more important than your own life.
"That's all, let's not talk about those unhappy things." Geli changed the subject first.
"Are you free tonight?" she asked abruptly.
Wayne was startled.
This seemed to be the first time she took the initiative to invite herself since she had a bad time with Chris.
It made him feel quite flattered.
"I...if you want to see me, I will go." He said expectantly and slightly excitedly.
His thoughts were like wild horses running wild, some wonderful pictures flashed through him uncontrollably, and his breathing became heavy involuntarily.
As if he noticed something, Geli's eyes became strange.
It seemed like he was smiling, but it seemed like he wasn't.
"Did you and Chris do something yesterday?" After hesitating for a moment, she still asked.
Wayne was slightly startled. "I did not do anything."
Compared with the development of the Eighteen Bans between himself and Kareli, the progress with Chris has been lagging much behind. Not to mention, even Wayne sometimes feels that Chris is not prepared for anything to happen to him.
So rather than lust, in front of Chris, the emotion rising in his heart was more similar to... pampering?
Or affection?
Even he couldn't explain it clearly.
"Hmm." Geli didn't know whether he believed it or not, "So, what happened yesterday -"
"Am I the first one too?"
Not sure if the coffee was on it, she licked her pink lips slightly.
It was as if his heart had been licked by her, and Wayne felt hot all over his body.
"……Um."
If he wasn't in public now, he would definitely be tempted to do something.
Unfortunately, even though there were not many customers now, he still didn't have the guts to take that risk.
Taking away all kinds of firsts from me without authorization, so that every time I think about this kind of thing, her appearance will appear in my mind... Now that I have made it this far, at least take responsibility for me!
All kinds of messy thoughts are like a sudden heavy rain disturbing the water surface and causing countless ripples.
Unable to control myself and unwilling to control myself, there is only joy in the undercurrent.
"Wait for me tonight."
Wayne was ready to make a move.
