283 Use the chance to nurture their feelings (1/2)

”We are here… already?” her friend choked out unhappily. She wanted to stay longer in the car, feasting her eyes on the Handsome Harry. She was not satisfied with the short time they were together. Why couldn't the time stop?

”Hmm… thank you for accompanying us for breakfast,” Ryn repeated what Harry said earlier. She opened the door bigger for Rebecca and her friend to get out of the car.

Unhappily the two girls had to move. They were moving slowly, hoping Harry would offer for them to stay longer. However, what they were hoping for did not come true. Harry was looking at his phone, checking any message. He forgot to do so, too excited spending the time with Ryn. So while waiting for the girls to go back home, he stole the time to check any message from his family or friends. Mei Li already knew he would come with Ryn today so she would not send any message to him.

Ryn went back into the car once she saw the girls safely reached the building. She could somehow sense their reluctance and it was funny for her. Was it so excited spending the time with Harry? Ryn did not feel anything when she spent time with him. Harry was a friend to her. There was no need to feel excited or shy because he was just a normal human being. Even if he was from a royalty line, she would not feel any different than she was now.

Regardless of the status of her friends, she treated them the same. Her friends were not chosen by their status but more of how comfortable she was with them.

He quickly changed the gear and drove the car away once he saw her already safe in the car. Now they were finally alone. And he preferred it this way.

He glanced at her when he felt her looking at him. He cleared his throat and straightened himself. Was he looking more handsome today? She did seem to keep looking at him today.

”What?” he asked. His ears already red but he managed to control his cool.

”You are very popular, Harry. How do you study under those girls' adoration?” she asked.

”Ah?” he was speechless with her question. Why did not she tell him how handsome he was or how she loved spending time with her.

”I mean…” she looked outside thoughtfully, ”Having them screaming and shouting your name every time you walk around the campus or in whatever you do.”

He took a deep breath. How to answer this question? Was she testing him or teasing him? Was his question determined how she would feel about him romantically?

He was still thinking about how to answer her question. To give a general vague answer he gave to others or tell her what he really felt? She was the one he loved but to bare his real feeling, it was weird. He rarely showed how he truly felt in public. Even his family commented upon it. They said he kept everything bottle up and warned him that one day he would break apart when he could no longer hold it.

Ryn looked at him when he still hadn't answered her. She twitched her lips seeing his expression. Was her question too hard to answer?

”Never mind. You don't have to answer if you don't want to,” she said quickly, wanting to ease his discomfort. She never thought the question she gave rather absentmindedly would make him uneasy. It was funny in a way but she managed not to laugh upon it. He was so funny… and quite… cute…

He opened his mouth to say he did not mind the question but it seemed like the topic ended before he could use the chance to strengthen their relationship. He sighed. He was too slow to grab the chance… again… and missed it… again.
