Chapter 18: Question
Jenny didn't just speak, she took out an electronic key, placing it directly in front of Aldric before he could even say anything.
"The address is written on that key, not far from here," she added.
"Jenny, what's wrong with you?" Aldric almost flinched as he heard her offer him to stay in her apartment.
Had she gone mad to bring a man into her apartment?
In the village at that time, it was very rare that he could enter her house because she said it was dangerous to bring other people into the house even if they were familiar with her.
Now, she actually dared to do something like this.
Unfortunately, the woman just smiled, forcing him to take the key to the apartment.
"I won't take the key, if you don't keep it, someone else might take it and break into my apartment. Aldric, I'm sure you don't want your most beautiful friend to suffer because someone broke into my apartment," she said.
"Well, when do you want to move in, how about tonight so I can help carry your things. Honestly, it pains me to see my childhood friend living in that cramped dormitory with a man," she added.
The more Aldric heard her words, the more he felt like his head would explode.
He really did not understand what was going through her mind.
Actually the fact that she was so friendly to him after not seeing each other for a long time already surprised him.
After all, it wasn't like he was meeting an old friend for the first time who had left the village long ago. They usually tend to be indifferent and even arrogant.
"Jenny, I can't be like this," Aldric said.
If Jenny was a man, Aldric would be fine, but she was a very beautiful woman.
He might be a bit innocent, but he was still a normal man with a savage side.
What if his savage side awakened?
He could go crazy and prey on this woman.
Of course, he didn't want to do that to his friend.
For once, Jenny rolled her eyes after she heard his words.
Pa!
She suddenly kicked his feet under the table.
"You!" He was stunned to have his leg kicked.
"Aldric, oh, Aldric, I didn't expect you to still be like a child, but well, anyway, you've been in the village too long and only arrived in the city in a few days," Jenny said, letting out a soft sigh.
"How about we take a walk outside," she added.
It just so happened that by this time Aldric's food had run out.
Although he ate slowly, he didn't stop putting food in his mouth, so he was able to finish the meal after quite a while.
Since the food was gone, he couldn't keep sitting there, especially with so many people looking at him, he really wanted to go.
"Okay!" He nodded to Jenny.
After being treated by her, he couldn't refuse her invitation.
Jenny then brought the food she ordered before heading out of the restaurant with Aldric.
Of course, Aldric was carrying the electronic key that Jenny had given him.
She really would have left it at the restaurant if he hadn't taken it.
Unlike inside the restaurant, when she arrived outside, the woman was wearing a mask.
"The people inside the restaurant are more educated, they naturally won't make a scene to chase after a celebrity, but outside, there are all kinds of people. Some might chase me if they see me, forcing me to take pictures with them." Jenny explained why she was wearing a mask.
"Come on!"
She then invited him to walk with her.
Unfortunately, only her face was covered, her dazzling figure coupled with her blonde hair still attracted the attention of many people.
The good thing was that when she appeared, she often alternated her hair color with hair dye that disappeared after a while, so her blonde hair did not make people suspicious that it was her.
"What did you use to come here?" Aldric couldn't help but ask the woman.
As a celebrity, she was actually just walking around by herself.
Wasn't she worried about being kidnapped?
"That's my car," the woman replied as she pointed to a very luxurious black sports car.
It was in the courtyard of the dress shop directly opposite the restaurant.
Aldric had no idea that she had such a luxurious car.
"As expected of a famous singer, you're so rich now," he said.
With several albums hitting the market plus sponsorships from various parties plus concerts, who knew how much money she made.
"Of course." Jenny seems proud of her accomplishments.
"However, who knows how many hardships I went through to achieve all this. I've been talented at singing for a long time, but I still had to practice desperately to really have decent skills. It wasn't an easy journey."
The woman seemed to recall her struggles in recent years, making her expression seem exhausted.
Other people indeed only saw one's success more often without seeing the struggle behind it.
Aldric felt sorry for talking about her wealth.
"Sorry, you must be tired all this time," he said.
Jenny didn't seem to expect him to say that, and it actually made her smile again even though it was visible because of her mask, but it could be felt.
"Although you are indeed too innocent as a man, I think you are very intelligent in understanding the struggles of others. Honestly, you're the only one who has ever said that, the others still only care about my success even after I said there was a hard struggle behind it," she said.
"Ummm, did I just say something?" Aldric was a bit awkward all of a sudden.
It was not just because of the woman's words, but because of her gaze which could be said to be very intense.
"You have always been a good man, Aldric. That's why I'm closest to you. It seems that you are indeed the best choice for me."
"What's the best choice?" Aldric was dumbfounded again, feeling his heart begin to beat incoherently.
At the same time, Jenny stopped her steps, facing him.
"I know all the kids in the village have a crush on me including you. Yeah, however, I've been very beautiful since I was young. What about now, Aldric, do you still have a crush on me?" She asked, shaking her hair violently so that it floated in the air for a few moments, revealing her long, clean neck.
