“I heard that the less confident a person is about himself, the more likely he is 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... He just couldn't tell the specific time to pay back the money. Why didn't everyone have even 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.

In order to prevent him from randomly saying something he shouldn't have said and thus launching a merciless backstab at himself.

"Ah, because I thought... Miss Songli is a little 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 what your expenditure is for, 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?

Lawrence would definitely not be willing to accept such a scene. Even if he went to perform on the street, he would not default on the loan.

Karei-san, who has a rich family background, is indeed very skilled in handling this kind of matter.

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 suddenly said. "Besides, you are borrowing someone else's light."

"..."

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 I am not treating guests 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 "Ge Li is more gentle than Chris", maybe she would be happier than she is now.

Even though 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 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 the other just to please one of them.

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." Ge Li changed the topic first.

"Are you free tonight?" she asked abruptly.

Wayne was shocked.

Ever since she had a bad time with Chris, this seemed to be the first time she took the initiative to invite her.

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, Ge Li'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 this question.

Wayne was startled for a moment. "I didn't do anything."

Compared with the development of the eighteen bans between himself and Song Li, the progress with Chris has been lagging far behind. Not to mention, even Wayne sometimes feels that Chris has not done a good job with him at all.

Be prepared for what happens.

So rather than lust, in front of Chris, the emotion rising in his heart was more similar to... pampering?

Or affection?

Even he himself couldn't explain clearly.

"Hmm." Ge Li 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 very slightly.

It was as if his heart had been licked by her, and Wayne felt hot all over his body.

"……Um."

If he were not in public now, he would definitely be tempted to do something.

It's a pity that even though there are not many customers now, he still doesn't have the courage to take that risk.

Taking away all kinds of firsts from me without permission, so that every time I think about this kind of thing, her appearance will appear in my mind... Now that I have reached this point, you can 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 and joy among the undercurrents.

"Wait for me tonight."
