Chapter 1684
Did it mean... they were officially together?
Mashauva felt somewhat dazed, constantly feeling things had already turned out so when there were still many words unsaid. Nheless, she thought she didn't hate the feeling but felt rather sweet when he said she couldn't take her words back.
After all, it was what she had been longing for; she should be happy now that her wish finally came true.
When they went for dinner, their interactions were as per usual, nothing out of the ordinary. Hence it got her wondering if their conversation earlier was just a daydream.
Or that it was all just in her head.
With that thought in mind, Mashauva simply shoved some food into her mouth. Later, Bruno escorted her back to school; at the school gates, he ruffled her hair. "Go on in."
Instead, Mashauva looked up at him and suddenly walked up, then pinched his arm hard.
He was somewhat stumped at first but frowned a little as he looked at the arm that was being
pinched.
"What's wrong?"
"Does it hurt?" Mashauva asked.
Bruno chuckled. "Naturally. Why don't you give it a try as well."
With that, he pinched her cheek. The force he used was enough to have her feel pain but not enough that would actually hurt her.
The girl frowned in an instant; letting go of his arm, she brought the hand pinching her cheek down.
"Don't do that, Bruno."
With that, he grabbed her hand in turn as he narrowed his eyes, a hint of lingering sadness in them.
"You're seeing me as a brother again, aren't you?"
Mashauva broke free from his hand and took a step back as she stuck her tongue out. "So what if I do?"
"Sure, whatever floats your boat. I'll come and pick you up in two days."
"What for?"
"A date."
A date? Mashauva blushed.
"We'll go on a date as any other couple would."
Hearing that, Mashauva snorted and said, "Who wants to go on a date with you?" before she ran back into the school.
When she returned to the dormitory, Mashauva went straight to Hailey and Lena.
"Hailey, Lena, pinch me."
The two girls looked at her in bewilderment.
"Why?"
"Just do it."
Hence Lena complied.
"Huh, it doesn't hurt."
"Because I didn't use any force," Lena said, deadpan.
With that, she exerted some force in her pinch, and Mashauva immediately grimaced in pain. "Ouch."
"You asked for it. What's going on? Why do you want us to pinch you?"
"No particular reason," Mashauva said. They noticed she wasn't upset despite being pinched but instead sat on her bed, smiling non-stop, unable to conceal the joy and happiness in her eyes.
"You seemed to have been hanging out with Bruno lately, no?" Hailey narrowed her eyes. "He confessed to you, didn't he?"
"You two are a couple now?"
Their sudden questioning got her stumped. "How did you know?"
"It's written all over your face. How do you think we know?"
"Wait, so it's real?" Hailey was shocked. "It's only been about a week, and you've already said yes?"
"Honestly, Mashauva, why didn't you tell us beforehand? What are you going to do in the future if you said yes so easily?"
"Huh?" Mashauva did not understand what they meant.
"You came back empty-handed, didn't you?"
"Yeah." Mashauva glanced at her hands. "What's wrong with that?"
"In other words, he didn't give you anything when he pursued you, right?"
Was he supposed to give her something? Mashauva didn't get it. She only knew she liked Bruno, and he liked her; wasn't that enough? Chapter 1684 1
Mashauva pursed her lips. "But I don't think this has anything to do with whether he will cherish me or not."
"How does it not?" Hailey wanted to
say more, but Lena stopped her. "Alright, leave her be. She has a different mindset from ours; she'
blame us for it if we influence her. Also, Bruno's never one to worry about money. There'd be plenty of chances for him to get her anything; they probably don't care about this."
Hailey could only twitch her lips at that and said, "True. Whatever, if it makes you happy."
They were just classmates and ordinary friends anyway.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"Yeah, anyhow, I still have to congratulate you."
With that, Mashauva broke into a sweet smile. "Thank you."
She had a restless sleep that night, waking up every now and then. Only after confirming and reconfirming what happened was real, she clutched her blanket and broke into fits of smiles, sound asleep.
From that day on, they were like any other couple, hanging out, going on dates. Bruno would occasionally buy her things, but he was never one to surprise her with gifts.
Whenever they came across something that Mashauva liked, he would buy it for her without hesitation.
Time flew by, and Mashauva was already in her senior year. The pressure of her studies got heavier with her exit exams approaching, and she rejected seeing Bruno daily, spending most of her time studying fervently.
Thankfully, her efforts were not in vain as she managed to get into a prestigious university. Lena and Hailey couldn't get in, so the trio went their separate ways.

Or whenever Mashauva wanted to get married. It was all up to her.
Everyone was happy but Mashauva, who was distressed.
Things between her and Bruno didn't seem to have any progress.
Although they were a couple, Bruno was really restrained in his affections; the most he would do was hug her. She didn't think much of it until Hailey and Lena gave her a nudge.
Hailey and Lena were really good at brainwashing.
"What? You guys have never kissed even when you've been together for so long?"
"No way. Does he really like you or not?"
"If he likes you, how can he hold it in?"
"Also, aren't you guys getting engaged soon? There are only two reasons he still treats you like this, either he is too gentlemanly, or he doesn't like
you."
Mashauva thought about it and was sure it was because he was too gentlemanly. There was no way he didn't like her. If so, why would he still date
her?
