"Seriously?" Jasmine is a little overwhelmed.
What dose Pehry mean?
Is he going to post their photo online?
When Jasmine is guessing Pehry's intention, Pehry has quickly put his idea into action. He logs in with
his social media account and looks at the latest photo he posted a minute ago.
Along with the photo of their entwined fingers is only a heart emoji.
No one is blocked. Pehry does post it and all his friends can see it. Jasmine has seen countless
exclamation points in the comments below the photo in this very minute.
"Who is she? Good job, bro. You do surprise me."
"You have said that you won't bother to fall in love with a woman. Are you announcing your romance
now?"
"Seeing this, I think I am betrayed. I am the only one who is single now."
Reading these teasing blessings, Jasmine feels a little dizzy and asks, "You do post it. Aren't you afraid
of the rumors?"
Seemingly, Pehry are particularly bohemian, but he seldom posts something online. Jasmine has
asked the reason for it, and Pehry's answer is that he is always busy and unwilling to expose too much
personal life for others to see.
After all, Pehry is so busy with work. He has no energy or time for that.
However, what surprises Jasmine is that Pehry is actually willing to go public with their relationship on
the first day they decide to go steady, which, to a certain extent, brings her a greater sense of security.
Pehry, however, thinks nothing is inappropriate. He is happily looking at those comments, while shaking
his head and sighing, "These single men must envy me...."
"Are you sure they are just envious?"
"I know them well. Although they say they don't want a girlfriend, they actually yearn for love." After
saying that, Pehry lowers his phone and looks at Jasmine, saying, "You'll realize it when I bring you to
see them later."
The thought of meeting Pehry's friends sets Jasmine on edge, "What if they don’t like me?"
"No," Pehry says without hesitation, "Those guys must be even more envious once they see you in
person."
Hearing such a straightforward praise, Jasmine blushes. She doesn't know why Pehry is confident that
his friends will like her.
However, she is truly delighted by this. She can feel Pehry's sincerity. She knows that Pehry is not to
please or flatter her by saying so. He does thinks so.
She has been not sure why Pehry loves her, but when she gradually feels he treats her much more
sincerely than others, she starts to have faith in their relationship.
Time will test it. As for now, Jasmine chooses to trust it.
When Jasmine is relieved, a day's exhaustion overwhelms her and she can hardly keep her eyes open.
Seeing this, Pehry asks in a low voice, "Are you sleepy?"
"Yes, a little."
"Alright, I'll go to the next room. Find me if you need any help." After saying that, Pehry kisses Jasmine
between her eyebrows, "Anyway, you are a heartless girl. Go to bed quickly."
Jasmine blushes as she looks at Pehry, "I am not heartless...."
"Although we are in the same house, you ask me to sleep in another room. How heartless you are!"
Pehry raises his eyebrows, and says aggrievedly, "But it doesn't matter. Sooner or later, you'll have to
repay me."
He deliberately says the last few words in a heavy tone in case Jasmine doesn't get what he implies.
Although Jasmine has never been in love before, she has heard of this. If she can't get what Pehry
implies , she will really be an idiot.
She raises her hand and angrily pushes Pehry who is in front of her, "Well, go to bed quickly."
"I'll go to the hospital with you tomorrow morning."
Jasmine is slightly stunned, "Why?"
Jasmine gets nervous, but Pehry, by contrast, is calm, "I want to see how my girlfriend's father is
recovering. Otherwise, what else can I do?"
"But, that will have to be another day! If my father sees you, he'll definitely get to the bottom of it...."
"Why not tell him that I'm your boyfriend. It isn't embarrassing, is it?"
At thought of this, Jasmine is anxious. She has never been in love before, let alone introducing Pehry
to her family. She is just a young freshman. She can't imagine what Cyrus will do when seeing Pehry
who is much older than her....
"I've not prepared myself for that...."
Pehry thought that Jasmine was unwilling to announce their relationship before, so he is a little
surprised now and asks, "It is just a choice. What's there to be prepared for?"
"No, I'm afraid my family will...," Jasmine begins to speak, but suddenly she stops.
Pehry asks, "What will they do?"
Jasmine doesn't intend to explain it too clearly at first. However, seeing Pehry is determined, she has
no choice but to tell the truth, "I'm afraid they won't accept it."
Hearing this, Pehry does not pursue, but he is stunned.
It suddenly reminds him of their differences and disparities. The fact that he is a wealthy and mature
man while Jasmine is a young and beautiful college student must led to countless rumors and
Jasmine's family will get them wrong.
Pehry looks down at Jasmine and says, "I forgot that it will get you into trouble."
Jasmine thought that Pehry would keep persuading her to go to the hospital with him a few minutes
ago, but what he says now really shocks her.
Pehry is always domineering, which Jasmine has got used to, but he suddenly changes and Jasmine
feels uneasy about this.
Pehry looks wronged, and then Jasmine feels guilty.
Moreover, Pehry has just posted their photo online. However, as to Jasmine, she even cannot
introduce him to her family, which makes Jasmine even guiltier.
Jasmine would rather see him get angry, because the more considerate Pehry is, the guiltier she will
be.
After a moment of silence, Jasmine doesn't know what to say but whispers, "Are you upset?"
Pehry does not pretend to be happy. The excitement in his eyes has faded away and he becomes a
little indifferent.
Jasmine is sorry for this and says, "You can tell me what you think. You don't have to be so
considerate."
"Will you change your mind if I say that? Besides, what you said is also reasonable. I haven't been
entirely considerate." After saying that, Pehry continues passively, "I don't want to break up with you
just because of your family's objection."
If her family knows about this, they won't bless Pehry and her. Therefore, Pehry would rather keep it a
secret.
Seeing Jasmine is guilty, Pehry can't say anything more. He just sighs, "Jasmine, I feared nothing
before, but now I'm quite afraid of losing you, so I can take anything even if it frustrates me, as long as
you're happy."
"Don't say that...."
"Then what should I say?" Pehry suddenly smiles, but he somewhat looks a little disappointed and
there is also something Jasmine cannot understand in his eyes. "I'm stuck with you," says
Pehry.
