Chapter 1280

Oh God.

Celeste started blushing instantly.

She didn't expect Gary to joke around like this. Her face instantly felt as if it was on fire, and she felta little embarrassed.

"How... How could you say something like that?" Celeste was very embarrassed and muttered, "Ididn't mean that at all."

"Didn't you have that kind of intention?" Gary asked playfully. The glint in his eyes was so bright thatCeleste did not dare to look him in the eyes.

Celeste quickly denied, "I really didn't mean that."

"Oh, I guess I have thought too much then," Gary sounded serious, "But don't worry, I'll soon beable to resume exercising. I'll build up my muscles a little more. In that way, I'll be able to lift you upeasily in the future."

Celeste really didn't know what to say. She felt that the Gary joking right before her now had acompletely different demeanor from the Gary she had known before.

She was made speechless easily by the words he spoke. It was a little awkward, and her eyes weredarting all over the place.

Celeste didn't say anything. She ignored her red face and looked at Gary, who was smiling on thescreen. She couldn't help but pout.

Gary was stunned when he saw this. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a while before hesaid, "Are you angry?"

Celeste didn't say anything either.

She wasn't angry. She was just embarrassed. Her face was completely red. She couldn't act as ifnothing had happened.

"Alright, let's change the topic," Gary knew that Celeste was embarrassed, so he didn't continueteasing her.

Celeste immediately grew solemn when she heard the change of topic and tried to make her blushdisappear.

"What did you want to say?" She finally asked.

Gary smiled when he saw her reaction. He then asked slowly, "What are you going to major in?"

Celeste was stunned. She looked at Gary in surprise and asked, "Why are you asking this now? Ihaven't thought about it. I plan to decide after entering school." "Shouldn't you have already thoughtabout it in advance?" Gary explained, "Before starting classes, you should probably think of whatyou want to major in in the future. After all, your whole future will be affected by your decision."

Celeste really hadn't thought about the specifics.

She planned on choosing a specialized profession which she liked and that would be highly soughtafter in the society. After all, it would be more convenient for her to find a job later on.

Since she was born, the only choice she had been able to make out of her own free will was tostudy abroad.

In the past, her aunt had always been in charge of her life.

Now that Gary asked her this, she was lost in thought. What should she choose?

And what did Gary mean by that?

Did he have other ideas since he was asking her about her future career path?

Celeste thought for a moment before coming back to her senses. She looked at Gary, who was alsostaring at her. It was as if he was very concerned about her choice.

"Did you ask me this question because you want to include my decision as a part of your plans inlife?" Celeste finally gathered her courage and asked the question that she wanted to ask the most.

Gary smiled when he heard this.

"Clever girl," He praised her.

"Since you're saying that, it proves that I'm right, am I? " Celeste was still serious.

Gary nodded and glee flashed across his eyes. He grinned, "That's right. I hope that your choice willbe in line with mine. In the future, it will benefit both of us."

"In line with yours?" Celeste thought for a moment. She looked at Gary as he fixed his gaze on her,as if he was very concerned about her choice.

For some reason, she felt nervous and lowered her head.

Gary's eyes narrowed as he stared at Celeste. After a while, he finally asked, "Is it very difficult tomake a choice?"

"No," Celeste shook her head. Raising her head, she looked into Gary's eyes and said softly, "Gary,we're only 16 years old. How sure are you that I will be the love of your life? Are you sure you won'tchange your mind for the rest of your life? There are too many uncertain variables in the future andyou might regret your choice. What will you do then?"

Gary narrowed his eyes. A glint flashed across his eyes. It seemed that she was still hesitating.

He remained silent for a while before answering her question.

"I will never regret my choices. Celeste, you're worried that you'll regret your choices, aren't you?"

He spoke without a doubt, and Celeste's heart tightened at his voice.

Despite using a low tone, Celeste felt that his question was sharp and unforgiving.

She pursed her lips and couldn't help but raise her concern, "I really haven't thought about choosinga major. I have always thought that as long as I try hard, I will be able to study in any profession thatI want. It's not really important. It's just that if this affects me in the future, I will definitely have tothink about it carefully."

"Are you saying that no matter what I choose, you won't necessarily be in line with me?" Gary askeddirectly.

"No," Celeste shook her head and sighed, "I just haven't thought about it yet."

"Then let's think about it now," Gary didn't seem like he wanted to give her time. He wanted to waitfor her to think about it and give him an answer right there and then.

However, Celeste frowned slightly. She glanced at Gary, a little hesitant.

"Is it that difficult to make a decision?" Gary asked once again.

"Of course I have to make a careful choice," Celeste insisted.

As soon as she finished saying that, she felt a sharp and intense gaze directed towards her.

Celeste's face froze for a second, then she pursed her lips and insisted, "I want to think about it fora few days. Give me some time to search it up."

"Hah," Gary suddenly laughed coldly, "You're rejecting me."

"I'm not," Celeste denied, "First, tell me, what have you chosen? I don't even know what you havechosen. How can I make choices according to your choice?"

Upon hearing this, Gary paused for a moment. Then, he smiled and his handsome face relaxed alittle.

"You haven't asked what I've chosen, but you've already come up with so many reasons. So, you'rejust telling me euphemistically that you have some other choices and ideas for your future. Maybe inthe future, your choices won't have anything to do with me, will they?"

The atmosphere grew a bit intense.novelbin

Celeste was also a little annoyed. Why did the atmosphere between them suddenly change?

It had obviously been very sweet just now, but it had suddenly changed.

She only felt weary. Looking at Gary's sharp and aggressive attitude, she felt that she was weakand cowardly.

She despised herself for being like this. She didn't like it at all.

No matter what, Celeste felt that Gary shouldn't have any say in her decision on her studies in thefuture. However, it seemed that he was too overbearing now.

Celeste pursed her lips and stubbornly said, "Well, since you think so, then so be it. I don't want mydecisions to be controlled by others. I don't dare to think too far in the future."

"You are rejecting me. You won't even consider my feelings into your plans," Gary concluded.

His gaze was so intense and sharp that Celeste felt that she was falling into his deep eyes. It wasas if he was planning to suck her in and punish her in the darkness.

Celeste didn't say anything. In front of Gary, she still felt a little frustrated.

"Say something."

Seeing that she did not speak, Gary chided her in a deep voice.

Celeste was stunned by his scolding and looked directly into his eyes. The both of them just staredat each other on the phone.

At that very moment, Gary seemed distant and unfamiliar to her. It was frightening.

"Since that's what you think, then so be it," Celeste was decisive, "I don't want to talk anymore."

After that, she hung up the video call.

Her whole heart was in a mess, and she felt even more upset.

She was in a bad mood as she held onto her phone.

After Celeste hung up his call, Gary became even more frantic when he couldn't see Celeste'sexpression. He almost threw his phone away in a fit of anger.

However, he didn't call her back.

There were some things that were out of his control.

It was then that Gary found that he was on the verge of losing control.

Meanwhile, Celeste took a deep breath. After a long time, she still felt extremely irritated.

She turned on her computer to check on some majors.

She had prepared a few majors for herself to choose from before. Now, it was time for her to screenthrough those majors. It was not easy to choose the most suitable major for her.

What would happen in the future? What would it be like? She had no idea.

The only thing she could tell herself was that she would do her best no matter what she chose.

"Knock knock," Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Celeste was stunned and composed herself. She sighed heavily and walked to the door. When sheopened the door, she saw Ernest standing there in front of her.

"Hey, Celest, do you have time?" He said with a slight smile. He looked quite energetic andcheerful.

"Yes," Celeste nodded and looked at him, asking, "What's up?"

"Let's talk for a while," He said.

Celeste paused for a moment and nodded. Then, she glanced at him and asked, "Do you want totalk here or downstairs?"

"Let's go downstairs," Ernest suggested, "Let's go to the garden."

Celeste nodded and agreed, "Okay."
