Chương 87: Vulnerability

"Tell me more about this guy. You seem to like him a lot," I asked, trying to keep the conversation going. 

"It's a little bit embarrassing," she started, her cheeks turning a lovely shade of pink. This girl, who was typically direct and confident, now appeared a bit bashful, her eyes darting away as she spoke. 

"You don't have to share if you're not comfortable," I reassured her, even though secretly, I was dying to know about her thoughts regarding me. Sure, I've got this twisted system to charm the ladies, but I'm still dying to know what was going on in the head of the girl who somehow saw something special in my ugly, fat self .

She paused for a moment, looking down at her plate before meeting my eyes.

"You saved my life, so I suppose it's alright to share. It's not much of a hidden secret anyway," she replied with a small smile.
