A Poor Youth's Journey to Success
Chapter 42

As soon as they sat down, Jiso and the other girls covered their mouths as they started laughing.

"Nanako, I'm pretty sure Eric's son really likes you!"

"Same ! You may not know it, but I've done some research on him. Eric appears to be from the Department of Language and Literature. She was also a poor person like him, just look at the way he dressed!"

"So what if he's poor? Do you think Nanako is someone who is short on money? At most, Nanako could only give him a career after the two got married!"

"That's right! In fact, he also had a handsome face if he was a little!"

"I also actually feel a little interested in the boy, he has a handsome face if noticed, but he is poor and does not suit me. Maybe it's no problem for nanako, ha ha ha ha!"

"Alright, calm down, guys! What nonsense are you all saying? What do you mean big trouble after I get married? Eric was a pretty good and honest man. It's okay if you guys want to joke with me, but don't tease her like this later. No matter how you mock him, Eric has helped me once!" nanako said with a sigh.

Nanako sometimes can not stand the behavior of friends who joke excessively. The more they spoke, the more excited they became.

"But Nanako, you've never been in love before, have you? Don't you want to feel what it's like to be in a relationship?" ask Jiso.

"So what if I've never dated before?" nanako replied, a wry smile on her face.

"Nanako, what a coincidence. Do you have breakfast here?"

Suddenly, a boy walked towards them while they were still chatting amongst themselves.

His eyes instantly lit up as he looked at Nanako and her group. In his hand, there was a box that looked extremely beautiful.

"Yes, it really is a coincidence Akio. Why are you here?" jiso said with a smile as he waved his hand.

His tone had turned into a flattering tone.

The boy in front of them is indeed, akio. The guy who pulled Eric away from Nanako the other day in the hospital.

In fact, his family's financial background is quite good. They have their own company and are quite strong. Because of this, Akio can drive a BMW 7 Series that costs more than one hundred and twenty-one thousand dollars.

That was why jiso and the other girls naturally thought so highly of him. After all, any girl who ended up marrying Akio would definitely be able to enjoy the rest of their very pleasant and stable lives.

Akio had long tried to gain Nanako's affection, but she didn't have any feelings for him.

"What are you laughing at? I happen to be looking for Nanako too! What a coincidence you finally get to meet here with you guys too! " akio said with a smile then sat comfortably in the chair originally reserved for Eric.

"We talked about how we were all going to graduate soon and how Nanako still didn't have a boyfriend. Is there a suitable candidate, Akio?" jiso asked while blinking his eyes.

"Is that so? Well, it depends on whether Nanako is interested in me..." There was a vibe of excitement in the voice of akio as he said that.

"Alright, we're done talking about that. Tell me, akio. Why are you looking for me?” nanako asked while forcing a smile.

"Well, your watch is broken because I'm a little too careless. That's why I bought you a new one! Here, why don't you try it to see if you like it or not?" akio said as he placed the watch on the table.

"F*h! That looks amazing! How much did you spend on that?" yell jiso. His voice caught the attention of several other girls who were also having breakfast there.

One by one, the girls tried to peek out from where they were sitting to see what commotion was going on.

Akio smiled faintly before saying, "Why don't you try to guess? If you guessed it correctly the first time, then I will get one for you guys too! Ha ha ha!"

It was at this point that Eric finally arrived. In his hand was a small bag containing his own watch which he had bought the day before.

However, as Eric approached their table, he noticed that Akio was also there. Moreover, it seemed like Akio had just given Nanako her own watch gift.

"Eric! Right here!" Shouted jiso as he looked at Eric from a distance.

Nanako did not want to see Akio so she stared at the stairs. As he looked at it, he smiled and waved his hand to call Eric.

"Why is that kid here too?"

Akio's facial expression instantly worsened as he looked at Eric.

It was a rare opportunity for him to be able to spend time together with Nanako and the other girls. However, Akio's jealousy evaporated once he saw how Eric was dressed.

However, it still bothered him a bit as Eric was clearly getting closer to Nanako.

"Of course he's here! nanako specifically invited Eric here for breakfast today! You're actually sitting in his chair right now, Akio!" answer jiso.

"Wait... Is that in your hand, Eric?"

"Well, it's my fault that the nanako watch fell out of my hand the day before, so I bought her a new one!" eric answered frankly.

"Eric! Didn't I say you didn't need to compensate me anything? You spend too much money on a watch! I never blamed you in the first place! So why would you bother buying it for me?"

It's no secret to him that Eric wasn't too rich because the nanako heard a conversation about Eric from jiso's mouth.

Nanako also felt a little uncomfortable accepting this gift, because after all, she felt Eric needed the money more. What's more, Nanako really didn't think much about the watch because after all it wasn't very valuable to her.

He was feeling a little anxious now.

"Well! How much money does this kid have to spend? You think too much about it, Nanako. He probably bought the gift for a few dollars on the night market!" akio said coldly.

"Ha ha ha! Don't worry, we realize the possibility. How could Eric possibly afford a 30-thousand-dollar watch?" jiso laughed after saying that.

"And also, tell us the price of that watch! We really can't guess!" Said jiso waiting for an answer from akio.

"alright then. I'll tell you the price later. It's not too much. It cost no more than 30 grand!" say show off Akio.

Akio bought the same watch as Nanako's previous watch. And the price is the same.
