Crystal fastened her seatbelt.
She looked at Erik, who was starting the car. She thought for a moment and then took the initiative to explain, "Ahem! I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. I came here to accompany my female senior schoolmate and only knew it was a fellowship activity after I came!"
Erik answered faintly, "I see!"
Seeing this, Crystal stopped talking about this topic.
She pursed her lips like a child and asked hesitantly, "Brother, weren't you having a meal with Sister Holly? Is it okay for you to come here?"
Erik glanced at her.
His eyes were meaningful, and his voice was slightly deep. "It's okay!"
Crystal nodded her head.
She clasped her hands on her knees and stopped talking, just looking at the dazzling neon lights in front of her.
The car steadily stopped downstairs the apartment building.
Crystal pushed open the door and looked at
Erik, who was walking over in a military uniform from the other side. He seemed to blend into the night. His facial features were shrouded in a dark shadow.
She smiled at him and said, "Brother, the security here has been improved. You can rest assured!"
Erik responded in a low voice, just like what he did in the car before.
"Brother, thank you for sending me back!" Crystal said as she tucked the loose hair in her ear.
"You're welcome!" Erik said.
As his eyes turned to her little face, he suddenly asked faintly, "Lil Star, have you always treated me as your brother, and never treated me as a man?"
Crystal was silent.
Erik's pupils contracted and his voice seemed to be filled with sadness. "Not even once?"
Crystal was stunned.
She clenched her fists hard and she felt pain.
"Forget it!" Before she could say anything, Erik suddenly turned his face away. "It's getting late. You should go to bed early!"
When he was in Ice city, he had heard from her personally that she had always treated him as her brother. Erik even thought that perhaps she had already sensed his feelings, so she purposely rejected him in advance.
But even so, he still didn't give up and asked her again. Now at the critical moment, he was afraid to hear her answer. He was so contradictory.
Erik was going crazy!
Crystal bit her lip. She stepped forward and was about to say something when his cell phone rang.
After taking it out, Erik glanced at her from the corner of his eye and then picked it up. "Hello, Holly..."
Holly had intended to have a meal together with Crystal and Erik. Erik knew that Crystal didn't want to go and deliberately made an excuse. So Holly and he just had a simple meal. And he just happened to see Crystal when he passed by the cafe.
At this time, Holly told him on the phone that she had left her phone in his car and there was an important email message for her to reply. She asked him to help send it back.
Erik said, "I know. I'm going back now!"
When Crystal heard it was a call from Holly, she didn't say anything else.
There seemed to be a sharp tool flashing in her heart and she felt a dull pain.
After he hung up the phone, Crystal smiled and said, "Brother, I'm going upstairs. Good night!" "Okay." Erik nodded.
Crystal waved her hand at him. She then turned around and quickly entered the apartment building, not looking back.
