[Chapter 217]
'Wait a minute!
Celia seemed to have recalled something!
'Sarah dumped David?
'So, David is single now?
'And he must be upset right now, right?
'Should I comfort him?"
Celia sat on the bed, her pretty face twisted together, while a fierce argument played out in her mind.
'Should I send David a message to comfort him?
'What if he thinks I like him?
'But I do like him!
'I should confess my feelings to him now!
'Or he'll eventually get another girlfriend!
'Since I can't get over him, I should try to pursue him.'
Having made up her mind, Celia took out her phone and sent David a message with trembling hands.
However, she typed and deleted the simple message. She deleted it and typed again. In the end, she had changed it more than ten times before clenching her teeth and sending it to David.
She only sent a few words.
Celia: (David! How have you been?]
After sending the message, Celia stared nervously at her phone. Her beautiful big eyes were wide open until they were sore.
You could see how she was feeling.
Springfield
East League International's temporary office.
David was sitting in the general manager's office as he chatted with everyone in the group chat.
A text message appeared on the phone screen.
Celia: (David! How have you been?)
David tapped on the text message and learned it was from his high school classmate, Celia.
His mind flew back to that afternoon years ago.
The girl he rescued at Shu City's intersection.
It was dangerous. A girl slipped in the middle of the road, and a heavy truck uncontrollably rushed over.
He was working part-time as a delivery boy. Without thinking twice, he threw his bike aside and ran to carry her to the roadside.
When he carried the girl to the roadside, the truck roared past them and soon crashed into a building under construction not far away.
If he had hesitated at all, the girl would have been hit by the truck.
It would be almost certain death if a truck like that hit someone.
It was also raining, and there was a construction site around the intersection, which made the road slippery.
If he had also slipped in the process, both of them would have been killed by the truck.
Therefore, he was terrified even though he had saved the girl.
After saving the girl, he realized it was his new classmate, Celia.
Because of that rescue, more than a dozen of his takeaways orders had been knocked down. His boss even deducted him of half a month's salary.
He still remembered Celia's first day at school, and she immediately caused an uproar among almost all the boys in school.
Everyone started experiencing love in high school, and Celia satisfied almost all the boys' image of the perfect goddess.
Her white dress, blonde hair, and perfect delicate features made her look as if she had walked out of a painting.
David was impressed with her too, but he did not pay much attention to her.
During high school, he was busy every day, intending to make more money to relieve the burden on Aunt Sally and Aunt Diana's family.
Ever since he saved her, the two people slowly grew familiar with each other, eventually becoming close friends.
It was not until he got together with Sarah that he began to distance himself from Celia because Sarah was so jealous that she did not want him to hang out with Celia.
As a man, David could feel how Celia treated him differently.
However, he dared not accept it. Celia was like a beautiful cloud on the horizon, visible but unreachable.
His parents died when he was young, and he was often abused by Uncle Bobby until he moved t o Aunt Sally's house in high school.
Therefore, he had low self-esteem.
