Chapter 165 I Am The Rebound Girl
After Lloyd's words came out.
For a moment, the surroundings were silent.
The soldiers behind had run far away, and the slogans of counting steps were gradually inaudible.
Ebony looked up at Lloyd.
Her eyes widened with amazement.
Lloyd took a step forward.
He stood close to Ebony, lowered his head staring at her deeply. With a low tone, he repeated, "I like you, Ebony."
Ebony swallowed and stared at him blankly.
Lloyd's eyes darkened slightly and he said, "Don't you have anything to say?"
Ebony was silent for a while, and then nodded reluctantly, saying, "Yes."
Lloyd asked, "What?"
Ebony whispered softly, "Turned out I am the rebound girl."
Lloyd didn't say anything.
Lloyd thought he had misheard. He frowned and asked, "Come again?"
Ebony glanced at Lloyd, beckoning to him, and said, "Come closer."
Lloyd pursed his lips and leaned down.
"Slap!"
Unexpectedly, Ebony slapped directly on Lloyd's head, hitting his head crooked.
Lloyd didn't say anything.
He closed his eyes fiercely, turned his head, looked at Ebony quietly. He said, "Why?"
Ebony had already put her hands on the waist, and she was so angry. She said, "Lloyd, stay lucid! Can't you tell who I am?"
Lloyd raised his hand pressing his sore forehead.
Ebony scolded again, "You're really something! How can you have a thing for me? I know you just broke up and you're in a bad mood, and I also know that the best way to recover from a broken heart is to start a new relationship, but you can't trouble me! Don't you know the fox preys farthest from his hole?"
While Ebony scolded , she circled around Lloyd, criticizing him in all directions!
Lloyd was lost for words.
He sighed and asked in a cold voice, "So I can't like you?"
Ebony snorted, "All right, you like me. Then tell me what do you like about me. List ten advantages of me first."
Lloyd still remained silent.
After a while of waiting, seeing that Lloyd didn't talk, Ebony instantly became angry. She said, "What's wrong? You can even make up some, yet you can't come up with anything! Is that how you like me?"
As Ebony raised her hand wanting to hit Lloyd again, her hand was suddenly grasped by the man.
Lloyd's strength was a bit strong. He grabbed Ebony's wrist, eyes deep. He looked into her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Everything."
Ebony was stunned.
Lloyd said, "As long as it's you, I like everything!"
Ebony stared at Lloyd. In a while, she uttered a sound of "hss".
He paused and then let go of her wrist.
Ebony pulled his hand back.
Lloyd took her hand over again, and carefully rubbed the red spot he pinched.
At this time, Ebony muttered, "It seems that the last relationship has really hit you hard, to the point you say "you like me" such nonsense to me.
Lloyd looked at her, saying with a serious tone, "Ebony, I am not joking."
"All right. You are not." Ebony interrupted him, thought for a while, and said, "Then let me think about it, okay?"
Lloyd didn't say anything, and he just looked at her deeply.
Ebony smacked her lips and said, "It's getting close to bed time, so I am going back."
Lloyd still wanted to say something, Ebony had already withdrawn her hand back. She turned around, and walked towards the dormitory.
As soon as Ebony got back to the dormitory, the squad leader immediately came up and asked, "Are you okay?"
Ebony shook her head and said, "Yeah, I am okay."
She was too embarrassed to say that she wasn't criticized by Ms. Shockley, but instead she was called out to have a night snack.
About ten minutes left until the lights were turned off, Abigail and her two friends were still writing crazily on the table.
Ebony climbed into the bed and lay down, thinking.
At this time, Kelly came over. She squatted beside Ebony's bed, and muttered, "Auntie, are you all right?"
Ebony casually replied, "I'm thinking about something."
Kelly shouted again, "Auntie..."
Ebony looked at her saying, "What?"
"Let's sleep together!"
After Kelly finished speaking, without waiting for Ebony's consent, she took off her shoes and burrowed into Ebony's bed.
Ebony was startled and quickly pushed her away.
Kelly held the bed railing pitifully, not willing to go down. She begged, "Auntie, let's sleep together. Come on!"
"No! Go away!" After Ebony kicked Kelly out of bed in disgust, she turned over and sat up, warning, "If you do this again, I will apply to change dormitories!"
Kelly's eyes were red. She lowered her head, looking like she was going to cry.
Ebony did not relent. She lay down coldly, and faced Kelly with her butt.
At this time, a female soldier came in outside the dormitory, holding a registration book in her hand. She asked, "It's Valentine's Day tomorrow. Your dormitory will be all present for tomorrow night's theatrical performance, right?"
The squad leader got up and said, "Yes, we will all attend."
The female soldier made a mark on the book in her hand and said, "Okay, tomorrow night at eight o'clock, in the performance hall of Building 2. Don't be late."
After the female soldier left, Ebony looked at the squad leader and asked, "Is it Valentine's Day tomorrow?"
The squad leader said, "Yes, tomorrow is February 14th."
Ebony gave a slap on her thigh.
No wonder Lloyd said he liked her today!
It's Valentine's Day tomorrow.
Valentine's Day was indeed an unbearable, tearful and heartbroken day.
Ebony raised her head.
Kelly, who was on the opposite side, had already stepped on the stairs silently, intending to climb back onto her bed.
Ebony suddenly shouted, "Kelly."
Kelly was stunned for a moment, then she turned to look at her aunt aggrieved.
Ebony patted her bed and said, "Come and sit here."
Kelly was taken aback. She pouted and climbed down to the ground. She stood in the middle of the room for a while, and then walked to her aunt's bed.
Ebony patted the bed again and said, "Sit down."
Kelly sat down and asked unhappily, "What's up?"
Ebony reached out her finger and poked her face, "Don't be upset. I was joking with you."
"Humph." Kelly snorted and became happy immediately. She took off her shoes and sat next to her aunt.
Ebony said, "Do me a favor tomorrow."
Kelly didn't ask what favor, and she just replied, "Okay."
As Ebony was planning silently in her heart, she looked up, seeing Kelly sitting so closely to her. She said, "It's 7℃ outside, but it's 37℃ in my arms. Do you know what I mean?"
Kelly was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became so excited. She reached out to hug his aunt.
Ebony said, "Go stay somewhere cooler!"
Kelly was lost for words.
The next day, in the morning, after the morning training.
Kelly ran to the instructor's office alone, and shouted to Lloyd, "Sir."
Lloyd was reading a training material. When he saw Kelly, he said, "Come in."
Kelly walked in. She took out a box of chocolates in her pocket, put it on the table, and said, "Lloyd, It's Valentine's Day today. This is what my auntie asked me to give it to you."
Lloyd was taken aback for a moment. He picked up the box of chocolates, and remembered that the girl said she was going to think about it.
Lloyd raised his eyes and asked nervously, "What else did she say?"
Kelly said, "My auntie said I should ask you for the money of the chocolates, which was 6 dollars. She had no money on her."
Lloyd was completely speechless.
