Female Novel
Chapter 1670
Both of them sipped on their drinks while chatting. When Cindy casually glanced at their surroundings,she noticed the girl glaring at her from afar. The girl was clutching a drink in her hand as she staredstraight at Cindy, not bothering to conceal her hatred toward Cindy.
After a moment of hesitation, Cindy turned to look at Peter. “The girl who handed you a drink earlier…Is she your girlfriend?”
“No, no!” Peter froze for a moment before he clarified the situation. “That’s one of the members of theclub. I taught her how to play badminton in the past. She’s a pretty fast learner.”
Cindy nodded. “She’s really cute too.”
“Really? I didn’t notice,” Peter replied with a laugh.
What does he mean by that? The girl’s face is probably the first thing he saw when he first met her,Cindy thought. Peter tilted his head back and finished his drink before turning around to throw hisempty bottle into the trash can. However, Cindy hadn’t given up on the topic and she continued to talkabout the girl. “A girl as cute as her probably has a lot of admirers.”
Peter raised an eyebrow at this point. “Maybe,” he mumbled. He had made things clear through hisexpression and tone of voice—he wasn’t interested in the topic at all. I don’t know if he’s genuinely asimple-minded guy or if he just processes things in a really slow manner. That girl made her intentionsclear. Any regular guy would have been able to tell that she likes him! Cindy thought.
Once both of them finished their drinks, they headed back to the spot where they had been playing
badminton. Cindy was a slow learner, and she was aware of how horrible her skills were. She trippedon her own feet every two seconds. Fortunately, Peter was patient with her—he served in a gentlemanner to make things easier for her. After playing for a while more, Cindy’s phone began vibrating inher pocket. novelbin
She held an arm up to tell Peter to stop before she fished her phone out. It was a call from Aurora.Cindy turned around to pick up the call. Before she said anything, her gaze landed on the girl fromearlier. The girl had gone over to the bench and picked up Cindy’s bottle before throwing it into thetrash can.
Cindy wasn’t mad at the girl—she simply found the girl’s actions rather amusing. This feels like the sortof thing that an immature high-schooler would do. It’s pretty embarrassing for a full-grown lady like herto do such a thing.
Aurora didn’t know what was happening on the other end of the line, so she simply cleared her throat tospeak after Cindy picked the call up. “We’re out now, Cindy. Are you awake? Do you want anything toeat? I can buy you some food.”
“It’s fine,” Cindy replied as she continued staring at the girl in front of her. The girl turned around afterthrowing the bottle away, and she realized that Cindy had witnessed her actions. With her bodystiffened, the girl quickly turned her back against Cindy, as if she felt guilty for what she had done.
Eventually, Cindy looked away to focus on her call with Aurora. “I’m not home now, and I don’t reallyfeel like eating anything in particular. You don’t have to buy me food.”
“Are you not home? Did you go out? Where are you now?” Aurora sounded rather surprised to hearthis.
Cindy turned to gaze at Peter. “I went out to play badminton.” That was all Cindy needed to say forAurora to know where Cindy was and who she was with. After a few seconds of silence, Aurora endedtheir conversation. “Alright. We’re heading home now.”
Once the call ended, Cindy placed her phone back into her pocket before she glanced at the girl for awhile more.
The girl had found herself a hiding spot in the crowd. She probably feels too guilty or self-conscious toappear in front of me now, Cindy decided.
Peter had been waiting for Cindy for a while, so he walked over to check on her. “What is it? What areyou looking at?”
Cindy chuckled. “It’s nothing. I just thought that those guys there seemed pretty lively and energetic.”
Peter sneaked a look at where Cindy was looking before he responded to her. “Us humans shouldhave a hint of liveliness in us all the time.” Cindy didn’t reply to him.
Meanwhile, Aurora ended the call and stared at Ian. She let out a sigh without saying anything for awhile. “What’s that look on your face?” Ian was puzzled. “What’s going on? Why are you looking at melike that?”
Aurora puckered her lips. “Oh, it’s nothing huge. Cindy’s out to play badminton. On second thought, Iguess that’s good news. She has always been such a reserved girl, so we should be glad that she’swilling to socialize with other people now.”
