Chapter 130: Chapter 124

Onto the murky grassy path, I with Arabella on my back, huffing and feeling the intense fatigue stopped for a moment when I finally realized that we have reached the mini-park 1 on the west side of the man-made island, wherein the men's dorm was just several meters away from it.

I gently put her down on one of the benches and I sat down beside her, catching my breath with my arms spread on the rest of the bench.

"Uh, thank you for carrying me all the way from the school to this mini-park, Ira."

Arabella genuinely thanked me, holding my hand as I felt the gratitude from her words. As someone whose weakness was small gratification and compliments from women, I grinningly scratched the back of my head.

"It's nothing. Everyone would have done the same."

"Still... Thank you."

She suddenly stood up, bowing her head so low that it made me

flustered.

"No, no, no! Please raise your head. I just did what was needed to be done."
