A Poor Youth's Journey to Success
Chapter 44

He felt that the longer he stayed, the more awkward the situation became.

Therefore, eric came up with a random reason to leave before turning around and descending the stairs quickly.

"Wait, Eric!"

Nanako chased after him, running down the stairs with the watch in her hand.

After peeking at Eric timidly, he returned the clock to Eric before saying, "What do you mean by this? This is unacceptable. Why did you give me the premium watch your friend gave you? I can't even start comparing its value to my broken watch!"

"Huh? I didn't mean anything. Just think of it as compensation for the clock I broke earlier!"

"You can't just expect me to treat him as mere compensation! This is the most valuable and valuable item for you. Your friend gave this to you! It should be that valuables like these are only given the best fit for your family or boyfriend! You can't just give a girl something like this and call it compensation! Do you know what jiso and the others said when you left just now?" nanako said as her cheeks began to blush.

Nanako is a very kind-hearted goddess and she has been pursued by many boys before this. However, very few of them were able to touch Nanako's heart.

Of course, he had no interest in Eric just because he had given him this watch. But nanako only feels touched by Eric's sincerity.

Honestly, nanako has little interest in Eric. Although Eric's appearance was that simple, but it could not be denied, the aura of Eric's good looks could be felt by someone like a nanako.

Yet at the same time, an indescribable feeling for Eric began to grow deep in his heart.

Nanako just felt that Eric was a very honest and sincere person towards everyone around her. It is rare to find such a boy now. Most of the men that nanako met could only woo and treat as usual.

Nanako studies well and also works hard.

Nanako finally understood that it was a feeling of awe ...

The chain of thoughts was cut off when Eric asked, "What did jiso and the others say?"

"I don't know" Nanako said as she looked to the side for a moment before looking back at Eric. "After all, this is too precious! I refuse to accept it!"

"I still insist on giving you this watch as compensation. I don't want to be indebted to anyone, so just accept this watch." Eric replied with a bitter smile on his face.

Eric's words really made Nanako ticklish. "By the way, are you the kind of person who doesn't like to owe others a favor, Eric?"

"Me!" eric said before nodding.

"alright. I'll hold this watch for now. I will return it to you when you change your mind later! " ansaid Nanako with a big smile on her face.

"Good!"

Not thinking too hard about it, Eric thought that the matter was finally resolved when Nanako received the watch. After giving nanako this hour, Eric found no reason to stay any longer.

"Hey! Hey, Eric!"

Nanako chased him again. "Why don't we exchange contact information to make friends?"

"That's... Well, fine." after saying that, Eric gave nanako a scan of her contact information. Eric doesn't know what else to say.

He could not simply refuse and turned around to leave. He's not that kind of person. After all, Nanako would definitely lose face if she left without accepting her offer.

Of course, Eric wasn't too narcissistic to believe that such a beautiful goddess would like him.

After the exchange was over, Nanako carried the watch as she walked upstairs again. At the time, some girls still doubted Eric's claims.

"Nanako! Nanako, Eric doesn't want to take it back?" the girls asked with smiles on their faces as they watched her slowly return to their tables.

"Ha ha ha! Look, my guess is right! Eric's really in love with you, ! He gave you the most precious and precious thing that cost tens of thousands of dollars! That alone was enough to explain everything!" jiso said confidently.

"Fuckin' thick! All of you may not have noticed it before, but Eric looked at Nanako as if he was afraid she would reject her gift!"

"Hey, hey! All of you should know that this kind of expensive premium watches are usually given to wives or girlfriends! Ha ha! That kid is really smart!"

The girls continued to talk amongst themselves happily.

"Oh? Being protective and defensive of Eric? Nanako, don't tell me you've been." said Jiso while showing a surprised expression while looking at Nanako.

"If you say any more nonsense, then I will put this watch in your mouth!" Say nanako with a pouty face.

The girls just laughed and kept chatting. They were all unceasingly teasing Nanako.

After a brief meeting, Eric went straight back to his apartment. Unexpectedly, he received whatsapp messages from Nanako not long after.

Joanne[ Eric! Do you have time for the afternoon?].

Eric replied [it seems like I'm empty. Why why?]

Nanako smiled at Eric's reply [that way, I want to invite you to attend a reunion of my classmates at High School ] nanako replied ending sad emot.

Eric replied[why should I take me? We just knew each other!"

Nanako retorted[I don't mind if we're new or not. I just wanted to ask you for help!] nanako's message ends with emot begging.

Eric replied [Alright! I accept it on condition that jiso is not present! Hows it?]

Eric was really stressed out by that jiso woman. Jiso's words can't be held back and filtered. Everything can ruin the mood.

Nanako replied [agree! I'll pick you up next to the university gate. Okay?]

Actually Eric was not too concerned with the meeting, but he just wanted to fill his free time.

"Lyra pliss!! You just sit there doing nothing. I really don't have any more friends to invite" Naruto brutally begged Lyra.

Lyra coldly said "Though you're my cousin I can't just go out with a man."

Lyra's first presence in Japan made Naruto lose his cold side. Although Lyra's cousin, did not rule out the possibility of Naruto consider her as his future girlfriend in the end.

Naruto kept pleading and asking for help from his grandmother, "Granny! Let Lyra help me attend my friends' reunion. I'll definitely take good care of Lyra when I'm there."

Grandma replied "I let you out with Lyra! But it depends on Lyra whether Lyra wants to come out with you."
