“So you mean you're also from Sunnydale University? But I've never seen you around!" Dickson was smiling the whole time.
"No. I'm from Mayberry University.” Gerald knew how to stay calm no matter what kind of vibration others gave him.
“Mayberry University is fine. After all, what does your family do? How did you make Elena fall in love with you?” ask Dickson.
“Well, Dickson, let me tell you. He comes from a small village, and his family runs a small grocery store! How can you still not understand the way she dresses?” answer Ambar.
The ultimate state of ignorance is to pretend a person does not exist even when he is right in front of you. Even though it was painful, no one would really show it. However, Amber had been doing that to Gerald all along, and it showed how much she hated him.
“Oh, it must be difficult to study in Mayberry which comes from a small village. Let me know if you're in any trouble. My father knows the dean, and I can solve everything for you. If you need a loan, you can always come to me too. I'm from Sunnydale, but I'm actually well connected! By the way, have you ever taken out any loans before? ”
Dickson soon realizes that Amber has ignored him ...
“Yes, I did apply for a three-year loan. I used that money to pay for the tuition!” answer Gerald.
Gerald had originally intended to prove Elena wrong, but now he decided it was best not to stand out.
There are three reasons for that:
One, Gerald did apply for a loan and did pay for college with that money.
Two, even if he tried to help Elena, there was no need to go that far. Gerald realizes that Elena not only pretends that she is his girlfriend, but she actually wants to develop a different kind of relationship. He's not a narcissist. He can really feel it. Although Gerald liked pretty girls and would easily fall in love with one of them, he was not a bad guy in general.
Gerald always wanted his girlfriend to connect on a deeper level, but Elena was definitely not that person. This was because the first time they met, Elena injured her face, so Gerald did not want to date her.
"Shoppers! Do you have to pay your school fees on a three-year loan? You must be broke!”
“Fuck! This is big news. How can someone be so poor that they have to apply for a three-year loan? I would be embarrassed even if I had to propose to her. I might kill myself!” Amber and the girls scoffed.
Ruby frowned, thinking Elena must have gone crazy choosing a man like her!
Why would he choose someone like him!
“They say children from poor families are more independent. Well, it seems right. But if you need money, you can always approach me. I'd gladly lend it to you because of Elena, and I'm a schoolmate. We can also be friends!” Dickson smiled.
Even though it was a small gesture, it was clear they were mocking him.
Being the student president, he was clearly good at talking. Every sentence that came out of his mouth subtly insulted Gerald.
"No need for that, but thank you." Gerald smiled and politely declined his offer.
"You're always welcome. By the way, since you studied at Mayberry University, have you ever been to nearby tourist attractions? You should visit Mayberry Commercial Street and Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. How not when you're already on Mayberry, right? Why don't I take you around after this?. My father knew the CEO of a restaurant on Commercial Street. I can take you there!”
“Hei Dickson, don't you remember what the Elena family did? Even if Gerald visits, Elena can take him!” amber said smilingly.
“Oh, correct. How could I forget? I just remember that Gerald was a very poor man who had never been anywhere before. Well, it looks like she used to visit Mayberry Commercial Street after being in a relationship with Elena.”
"Ups ... must be my fault for having a bad memory!" Dickson hit him on the head as he laughed.
