In the end, everyone respected Mashauva's wishes.

As she still had classes in the afternoon, she only hung around for a while before leaving. Naturally, Bruno was the one to send her back.

But of course, Freddy was unwilling to give up on such an excellent opportunity.

"Let me send her off."

Freddy pulled Bruno aside and talked to him while Mashauva was drinking.

Hearing that, Bruno cast an indifferent glance at Freddy.

"It's a rare opportunity, dude. She's of legal age soon. Last year, you promised me you'll let me spend more time with her, but look at how things have turned out this year. Ever since she started losing weight, she refused to see us."

At the mention of that matter, Bruno's gaze turned icy, emanating a chilly aura.

"Don't you know why she lost weight?"

His reply got Freddy stunned.

Before he could come to his senses, Bruno walked past him and picked the two gift boxes up, then said, "Let's go."

As soon as Mashauva finished her cup of water, she saw Bruno carrying the gifts. Hurriedly placing the cup on the table, she hurried to his side.

The next instant, Bruno squatted down and said, "Get on my back."

"Huh?" Mashauva couldn't register what he was doing for a moment, "Bruno?"

"Aren't you tired from coming all the way here? I'll carry you back."

"No, it's fine." Mashauva's face instantly glowed red. There were so many people around, so she dared not get onto Bruno's back. After all, that was his school. If someone saw it, it would be too humiliating.

"Oh..."

The two roommates couldn't help but brouhaha once more.

With that, Mashauva's face reddened to the point of dripping blood.

She tugged at Bruno's sleeves and urged, "Bruno, let's go."

"Aw, you're blushing? Don't worry; we're not making fun of you. It's just that we've never seen Bruno this gentle before, so we can't help it."

Bruno had wanted to carry Mashauva on his back as he didn't have the heart to have her walk back to her school. After all, she must've been tired and thirsty, having to come all the way here alone at noon. Perhaps it was because he grew up spoiling her.

Lets go.

Bruno walked ahead while Mashauva trailed behind him like his shadow, tugging at his sleeves.

Before stepping out of the room, a thought came to Mashauva's mind, and she looked back at the rest of the guys.

"I'm off now, bye-bye."

"Bye."

Once Mashauva left the dormitory, Bruno's two roommates exchanged glances before cupping their cheeks.

"D*mn, Bruno's sister is way too cute. You can tell she's obviously the good girl type."

"Don't even think about it?" Freddy interrupted and uttered unhappily, "She's off-limits."

"What do you mean, Freddy?"

The two roommates squinted as they sized Freddy up, deriding, "Dude, don't tell me you have feelings for her. Sh*t, you're so messed up!" Hearing that, Freddy's face darkened, "How am I messed up?" "How is not liking a middle school student messed up?! You've crossed the line, Freddy!" "Yeah! I can't believe you'd lay your hands on a middle school student!"

The two of them glared at Freddy like he was their sworn enemy.

Freddy was rendered speechless by their thoughts but contradictorily delighted to hear their praises for Mashauva, so he explained with a darkened face. "Who told you she's in middle school? She's already a high school student. She will be a legal adult soon."

"What?" Both of them were taken aback. "Shut up! But she looks so little."

"That's because she's cute." Freddy declared proudly.

"Tsk. Look at that smug face of yours. No matter how cute she is, she's not yours but Bruno's."

"That may be true for now, but not in the future."

Freddy was confident and

determined to win Mashauva over. After all these years, he had never fallen for other girls, bent on waiting for Mashauva to grow up.

More absurdly, he thought no other girls were good-looking apart from Mashauva. She was all he had eyes for.

"Looks like you've really fallen for her. Has Bruno agreed to let you pursue his sister?"

Stumped, Bruno had previously agreed to it, but he wasn't sure anymore as Bruno's words earlier had gotten him highly strung.

He was also remorseful as he was partly blamed for Mashauva's change, even though it was unintentional.

At the thought of that, Freddy twitched his lips and retorted, "I will woo her over even if he doesn't agree. He's not really her brother anyway."

"What?"

The two roommates were slightly surprised, "You're saying they're not biologically related?"

"That's right," Freddy nodded. "They just grew up together and have regarded themselves as siblings, that's all."

"D*nm, so they're not biologically related but only childhood sweethearts?"

"That's right."

"You're doomed then, dude."

"What do they mean by I'm doomed?"

Freddy thought as he looked at them in

confusion.

With that, they looked at Freddy with regret and lament. No, it wasn't that but

dr Soy. "I don't want to crush your

dreams, dude, but I think you can wave your chance goodbye.

"Yeah, buddy. They're childhood sweethearts. Think about it, what chance do you have against someone who grew up with her?"

Freddy refuted, "So what? They have a platonic relationship."

"Platonic? On the surface, maybe, but didn't you see how reliant she is on Bruno? You're already defeated on that alone."

"So what? Just because she relies on him doesn't mean she likes him."

"Maybe not now, but what about in the future?"

Epiphany struck him, and he looked at his roommates, pursing his lips.

"It may not have come to her yet, but what about in the future? When she knows what love is, do you think you can compete with Bruno?" Freddy's heart sank.

They were right; whether it be looks or talent, Freddy was no match for Bruno. No, not just that but every aspect. But if everyone were to

compare with each other, it'd net

be

improbable for anyone to replace the perfect match.

There'd always be someone better around the corner; no guaranteed win-win situation there.

"Freddy, it's not too late now that you know. You should let go and replace someone else."

"Yeah, even if you can't, don't put all your attention on her; look around. There are so many beautiful girls out there."

Beautiful?

Freddy cast them a speechless gaze and said, "What do you guys know? I like her not because of her looks."

With that, he exited the dormitory.

The two roommates exchanged glances.

"Is he mad?"

"I think so."

"But we didn't say anything wrong, did we? It's all for his own good."

"Who knows? Maybe he's head over heels for her."

"She's just a little girl. Don't tell me he's actually serious about her." "I don't get him either."
