Chapter 1463
Erik asked, "Lil Star, what's wrong?"
Crystal hesitated before answering, "Uh... But I already have an appointment with my boyfriend tonight!"
She didn't know that Erik would suddenly visit her today. At noon, she made an appointment with her boyfriend to have dinner together at night. The main reason for this was that she was very busy every day. After classes, she had to go to the hospital to work as an intern. Her boyfriend had often complained about her busy schedule.
It had been almost half a month since the new semester began after she came back from Tbridge City. During this period, she almost hadn't had any formal date with her boyfriend.
Erik frowned and asked her, "An appointment with your boyfriend?"
Crystal nodded. "Humn..."
Erik kept silent for two seconds, and his expression remained unchanged. He then said indifferently, "I have just been transferred here, and many things need to be dealt with. I only have a few hours of rest today. As a military officer, I will not be allowed to go outside of the camp freely. I don't know when I will be free next time. If you have an appointment with someone, then I'll invite you to dinner next time!" When Crystal heard this, the corners of her lips tightened even more.
She was obviously undergoing psychological conflict. A short while later, she said, "Erik, wait for me!"
After that, she took out her mobile phone and walked aside to make a phone call. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but tonight..."
Although her boyfriend was a little unhappy, he still respected her own decision.
Crystal's idea was very simple.
The new semester started not long ago. She had to stay on campus for a long time. It wouldn't be too inconvenient for her to put off the date with her boyfriend, but Erik's situation was different. He was very busy as a military officer. She was delighted that he had come to visit her. She simply didn't want to let him down.
However, it would be a little weird if the three of them had dinner together.
She couldn't explain why it was weird.
Perhaps it was because she had just reunited with Erik for only a short period of time, and she really wanted to talk to him alone about what had happened to them in the past few years!
Hanging up the phone, Crystal said to Erik with a smile, "Erik, now we can have dinner together!"
Erik said, "Okay!"
After he turned back to pull the car door open, a joyful smile appeared on his face.
Erik brought Crystal to a Japanese meatroasting restaurant. After booking a compartment, the brother and sister took off their shoes and sat face to face.
Erik had ordered Premium Beef Ribs and A-Ribeye. The waiter put the meat on the iron plate, and a squeaky sound could immediately be heard.
Crystal smacked her lips as he watched.
Erik smiled.
It was not until she was half-full that he began to chat with her. "Lil Star, why did you come all the way to Francis City to attend college?"
In the northern part of the country, there were also good medical colleges.
After all, Francis City was very far away from Ice City. It was somewhat unnecessary for a little girl like her to receive higher education in a city so far away.
Crystal replied him with a smile, "Haw-haw... Francis City was the place where my parents first became lovers. I thought it was a meaningful place for me. I just wanted to come here and experience the culture here!" In fact, this was only a small part of the real reason.
A larger part of the reason was that Crystal wanted more independence in career development and personal affairs. In Ice City's medical circle, Anthea Lee, her mother, was a relatively famous doctor. She was respected by people in the medical circle, whether they were older or younger than her. They respected her because her knowledge and skills were convincing.
Crystal didn't want to take advantage of her mother's fame and be taken special care of wherever she went. That's why she specially chose Francis City, a city located in the southern part of the country. She wanted to carve out a bright path of career development by herself!
She was also curious. "Erik, aren't you living in Tbridge City? Why were you suddenly transferred to Francis City?"
Erik looked at her meaningfully.
The reason?
Of course... It was because of her.
Erik took a sip of the cup of wheat tea in his hand and said calmly, "It's because of an order from above."
Crystal nodded and didn't inquire further.
She knew something about the army. That day on the train, he was wearing a training uniform of camouflage, and she happened to see the serial number of his troop. It was a special force. Many things needed to be kept secret when it came to military affairs.
Erik pretended to ask her casually, "Do Dad and Mom know that you have a boyfriend?"
Crystal was startled. She shook her head and said, "I haven't yet told them..."
Although she and her boyfriend had been dating for a brief period of time, they were actually still in the stage of acquiring mutual understanding. Crystal was not clear how far the two of them would go. It seemed unnecessary to report her love affair to the family at such an early stage.
Furthermore, in consideration of Adam's love for her, it was very likely that he would immediately come to the college and question her choice. It would not be good for her boyfriend to be scared by her father!
"Humn!" Erik said.
With his thin lips slightly hooked, he raised his eyebrows and smiled. The joyful smile lingered on his face. He was obviously in a good mood.
Crystal blinked her eyes and didn't quite understand what had happened. The waiter next to her offered her some freshly roasted meat, and then her attention was diverted back to her meal.
After dinner, Erik drove her home.
Crystal's apartment was very close to the college, and it only took her five minutes to walk to the campus. The surrounding environment was quite good.
The night scene was beautiful. Erik escorted her upstairs.
The apartment had one living room and one bedroom. Although it was not a big house, it was equipped with all the household facilities necessary. As soon as the door was pushed open, a girl’s peculiar fragrance came into their nostrils.
On the balcony, several pieces of washed clothes were hung there.
Feeling embarrassed, Crystal immediately ran over and pulled down two of her panties.
Erik pretended not to see it.
However, when he turned around, he virtually swallowed twice.
"Two panties of black leopard prints..." He thought.
He then briefly inspected the interior arrangements of the apartment.
He firstly looked at the bedroom and bathroom sharply. After confirming that Crystal lived alone, he checked the door lock and windows to confirm the safety level. Only then did he rest assured.
In fact, it was not necessary for Erik to do so.
After all, their father, Adam Chin, was a professional military officer! If he was willing to allow his daughter to further her study and live in Francis City, which was very far away from their hometown in the south, he would definitely ensure that his daughter would have the most secure and comfortable living environment.
Erik closed the windows again and turned around. He found that Crystal was making a phone call back to him and in front of the water dispenser.
After she hung up the phone, she turned around and was about to give him a cup of water, only to find that his tall and strong figure was leaning against the windowsill and gazing at her, while his
hands were inserted in his pockets.
She felt embarrassed again and said honestly, "Ahem... My boyfriend was calling me again. He's concerned about whether I had gone back home or not!"
"Fine." Erik nodded.
As the light of the crystal lamp shed on his face, his expression seemed to have suddenly become gloomy.
He looked down at his watch and said, "It's getting late. You should go to bed early!"
At this, Crystal immediately said, "Erik...
Then I'll see you off!" This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
The brother and sister walked to the hallway one after another.
Erik put on his military boots. When his hand touched the door handle, he suddenly turned back.
He said, "Lil Star."
Crystal was confused. "Erik, what's the matter?"
Erik was as tall as Adam. Even if Crystal was by no means a short girl, she still looked dainty and cute standing in front of him. At this time, she was covered by his shadow.
Raising her head, she saw that the outline of his face was like that of a sculpture. There was a mixture of emotions hidden in his deep and unfathomable eyes.
Erik suddenly asked, "Do you still remember your childhood dream?"
