Chapter 21 Couldn''t get over him


    n had passed by the mountain road three times, as well as the pool where he had seen Irene


    bathing for the first time. But each time he walked by the pool, he always felt very ufortable as if


    someone invisible was staring at him. He must ask Irene what actually happened that day.


    Suddenly n remembered the date with Michelle tonight. He hurried home so as not to bete.


    On him way home, he saw a girl, wild with joy, running toward him and throwing herself into his arms.


    That was Amy.


    “Hey, Amy, why do you look so happy?” said n, thinking she must have something important to turn


    to him as Amy gave him a big hug.


    Amy didn''t say a word and just held him tight. She was so happy that she was unaware of her breasts


    against his chest. For a while, she loosened the embrace. “Thank you, n,” said Amy sincerely.


    “Why are you so happy? Am I sessful in persuading Bard to change his mind and call off the


    nned marriage between you and his son Barton?” said n dubiously.


    “Yes, Bard hase to cancel the marriage this morning. He said it''s not necessary to give back the


    betrothal gifts, and he gave me a few wooden chairs and a bag of eggs,” said Amy.


    n finally felt a bit relieved for his good acting and glib tongue. Apparently, he had seeded in


    convincing Bard, “Well, what are you going to thank me?”


    “I know what you want. Well, I will give you a big surprise!” said Amy proudly.


    n was overjoyed. ‘Is Amy indicating her willingness to make love with me?’


    As n was pondering, Amy gave him a big kiss on the cheek. “The kiss is a gift for what you have


    done,” said Amy.


    n looked at Amy in disbelief. “Just a kiss?” said n unbelievably, with his mouth wide open. ‘The


    big surprise was just a kiss? Can’t end up like this.’


    “What else do you want? I have passed over your discourtesyst time,” Amy said and turned away.


    n stood still for a long time. He got nothing in the end.


    As soon as n got back home, Daniel, whose face was purple with rage, was absolutely furious with


    n, “Where have you been these two days? You are the one who destroyed Amy’s nned marriage,


    aren’t you?”


    “Oh no, is it really discovered by Daniel?” n thought. He identally turned around to see Amy, who


    was winking at him and then n knew he was safe.


    “Daniel, you misunderstood me. I couldn''t agree with you more. The wealthy man Barton is worthy of


    marrying. I will try to persuade Amy,” said n designedly.


    Daniel believed these lies as he thought, ‘If it''s not n, who else can be?’


    “How can you be so stupid, Amy? You give up so easily on such a rich man. If I were a woman, I would


    have married him.” n said, almostughing out.


    “You''re right,” Amy said submissively. The nned marriage had been called off, anyway.

    Daniel believed them. n and Amy took off upstairs quite quickly. As soon as the door closed, they


    guffawed loudly.


    “Amy, I''ve been so helpful. Have you ever thought about bedding with me?” n said jokingly as he


    tried to gauge Amy''s reaction.


    “Stop thinking about this nasty thing. Why not go have a look at Carol. She hasn''t seen you for two


    days and has waited you to solve her homework,” said Amy.


    n continued, “There was only a kiss. I deserve more than that for being so helpful.”


    “So, what do you want?” said Amy cheerfully as she appeared to be in a jovial mood. It was now or


    never for n to grasp thest chance to hit on Amy.


    “Kiss me again, but you must kiss me on the lips,” said n. He was not satisfied with a kiss, but it was


    better than nothing.


    “No, n. I am you cousin, and I don’t want to have an incestuous rtionship with you.” Amy knew


    what n was thinking about.


    Amy got so conflicted sometimes, wondering what n meant. ‘Is he joking or is he serious?’ Amy


    thought. It was quitemon to greet rtives with a hug, but kissing on the lips was what couples


    did. Last time n had kissed her unexpectedly and it was her first kiss. But what did that kiss mean,


    anyway? Did it express love? Amy was trapped in ethical principles.


    “We did itst time.” n reminded her.


    “Oh, don''t mention it any more. If you kiss me like that again, don’t ever talk to me,” Amy said and left


    the room.


    It seemed impossible to be closer to Amy. She didn’t want to break through themon custom. But


    he would not give it up. And now he had to meet Carol.


    Carol tried to focus on her homework, but she was distracted by the thoughts of n. She had no


    interest in anything since n had disappeared. She got bored with food, homework and housework.


    Carol couldn’t dismiss n from her mind. She recalled that she got a crush on n, held his hands,


    wandered through the peach orchard and gave him her first kiss. All these happened to her for the first


    time. She was rather upset. “n, where are you? I think I have fallen in love with you.” she said to


    herself.


    “What are you mumbling to yourself?” n entered.


    Carol got shocked when she saw n. She jumped to her feet and threw herself into his arms. Tears


    filmed her eyes.


    “What''s the matter with you?” said n. He had no idea that Carol had never stopped thinking of him


    these two days.


    Carol left his arms after a moment with a blush. n’s presence cheered her up, “Did you hear what I


    said just now?” said Carol a little awkwardly.


    n heard her muttering, but he heard nothing. He frowned and wanted to tickle her, “Yes, I heard it all


    —every word. You''re toast!” he said deliberately.


    Carol bit her lips with great embarrassment.
