"It’s fine, it’s fine…" When the girl saw that Garen was so at ease about it, she felt that it would be e deal She looked at Garen and Ai Fei with a strange expression before saying, "Please go on…" The two young girls sloalked away They couldn’t help laughing again as they walked further away
Garen frowned Once he saw the girls were gone, he looked at Ai Fei
"Alright, ignore what other people think Do whatever you want to"
Ai Fei nodded in silence
"Should we go to Kalidor and tell hi? It’s a decent place, but the people in it are not," Garen casually spoke as he shrugged his shoulders
He looked at Ai Fei, and the latter, still red faced, meekly nodded She was so embarrassed that she didn’t even look up Speechless, Garen turned around and walked to Kalidor
Kalidor was talking to a girl with a pair of bright eyes They were just idly chatting Most of the ti up a topic, and Kalidor would just perfunctorily answer her When he saw Garen walking over, he knew that he was finally about to be saved
"I may need a ith my friend over there I think he needs to talk to et away, so he said so and walked to Garen
"Hugh…"
Kalidor took a long breath out as he approached Garen
"See? That beautiful girl with long dark golden hair is the one I aood?" Garen confusedly said
"She is too good… I feel useless when coht, I a to head out You should just spendabout introducing you to…" Kalidor didn’t finish He turned silent for a moment, and then said, "Well then… I will see you off"
"No need, we are good I’ll walk Ai Fei back first Anyway, I go for a run every night, and I’m used to it But in reality, you shouldn’t have invited Ai Fei and ht?" Garen said as his voice turned less and less audible
Kalidor’s expression gradually turned dull
"I am fine, but you know Ai Fei’s family; they’re even worse off than mine She was recruited as a special excellence student and being here definitelysoup She’s a girl you know…"
"It’s ht it was just a few people talking freely I thought it would be si…"
"You shouldn’t blaht, we are off Enjoy your time" Garen patted his shoulder and ended the conversation Kalidor opened his e in the end He could only watch as Garen returned to Ai Fei’s side before leaving with her through the back door in the small hall Asides from Kalidor, no one else paid them any attention
Garen and Ai Fei left the hotel; they walked along the roads of suburbs, beside the past
After that hu the way, she didn’t utter a single word
"It is fine Don’t think too much about others’ views After today, they will never show up in our sights again, and ill eventually forget each other" Garen was co her "And don’t blame Kalidor He is just a fool He didn’t think about such a situation"
"I don’t blame hinorant Why should I blame others?"
"Don’t think too much about it" Garen tapped on her shoulder "You are still who you are, sa affect your happiness" The truth was, he had accidentally discovered Ai Fei’s secret when he was hanging around in the city earlier
The stubborn girl had a er sister and brother were depending on her too Her father left horadually pay it on her own Luckily, she won the scholarship every year as a special gifted student in the Shengying Nobles Academy She could use that money on her family, and she also worked after school to h to pay the tuition fees of her brother and sister and theso hard For other students, it od-given tiht, don’t be depressed…" Garen was just about to talk when he caught a fa hio hoo home by myself You don’t have to come with me" Ai Fei shook her head Subconsciously, she looked at Garen with suspicion in her eyes "You can go, I’m fine"
Garen knew that she didn’t want people to know the real situation of her fas to do noay, so he nodded "Ok then You take care of yourself and just go straight ho It may not be safe"
Ai Fei quietly nodded She took a left turn at the corner of the road
Garen stood behind her watching her off When he saw her disappear in that corner, he tidied his collar and walked to a dark alley on the street After a while, he disappeared into the shadows
