Chapter 543 I Don''t Deserve It


    ir clenched her fists and lifted them in front of Wesley, threatening to punch him in the face. But


    instead of moving a muscle to defend himself, he stood rooted to the spot and smirked.


    ir felt humiliated about being looked down upon by the man she loved.


    She knew nothing about martial arts. But at that moment, she wished she did. If she were as skilled as


    he was, she would have surely taught him a lesson. She would have beaten him to the ground and


    made him beg her for mercy.


    "Whether you love me or not, that''s your choice. You''re free to decide. I admit that I do love you, but I


    won''t let you humiliate me like that!" ir said angrily.


    Wesley had figured out her feelings for him long ago. But this was the first time he had heard her say


    tantly that she loved him. He looked at her, aplicated look in his eyes. "I don''t need anyone''s


    love," he dered coldly.


    He couldn''t promise any woman a bright future. That was the kind of life he led. So, he didn''t want to


    love anyone, nor did he need anyone''s love.


    ir seethed in anger. She was hurt once again by his sharp words.


    "Oh really? Then please, doe back to your apartment more often and stop trying to avoid me by


    taking the stairs. You know my physical strength is no match to yours. I can''t take the stupid stairs! So,


    take the damn elevator with me! And mark my words, I''ll make you fall in love with me one day. You''ll


    have to take back your words when that momentes."


    Wesley didn''t care about her provocation. He said, "Don''t bother. I won''t fall in love with a woman who


    can''t even take the stairs with me."


    ir breathed heavily, unable to utter another word. Tears threatened to fall from her reddened eyes.This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    When Talbot ran back to them gasping for air, he saw ir trying to kick Wesley in his shins.


    He was taken aback by shock and surprise. ''What the hell is she doing? That''s Wesley, the military


    hero! Why is she trying to kick him? Is she nuts?'' Of course, ir failed to make contact with his body.


    Wesley easily sidestepped her attack and she only managed to kick the air.


    Frustrated, ir felt like she was about to explode. Tears began to stream down her cheeks. "Why do


    you bully me like this every time?" she protested.


    Ignoring her question, Wesley walked up to Talbot and took the ointment from his hand. He extended


    the ointment to ir and said in the same cold tone, "Stop crying. Apply the ointment to your arm."


    Ignoring his words, she walked past him and to Talbot. She pulled out her phone and asked with a


    slight sob, "I''ll add your WeChat ount and return you the money."


    In a daze, Talbot took out his phone and opened the WeChat app. "I''ll send you a friend request."


    Wesley silently watched them add each other''s WeChat ount. Talbot asked ir, "Your ount


    name is ''Bless?''"


    ir replied in a low voice, "Yeah. Joslyn, my best friend, always calls me ''Bless, '' so I use that name."


    After adding each other''s ount, she said, "Thank you for buying me the ointment. How much was it?


    I''ll pay you via WeChat."


    Talbot shook his head. "No need."


    "I need to. Otherwise, I won''t use that ointment," ir insisted.


    Talbot shifted his gaze to Wesley, expecting a reply from his leader. But Wesley said nothing, still


    maintaining his expressionless face. Left with no choice, Talbot said, "Fifteen dors."


    ir nodded and began to walk away as she typed the password on her WeChat Pay. Talbot called out


    to stop her. "ir, you haven''t taken your ointment."


    After transferring the money, ir turned around and told him sarcastically, "Your great leader has


    touched it with his holy hands, so I don''t deserve to use it anymore. I''ll buy another one myself."


    But she still thanked Talbot. She decided to buy him a drink next time.


    Then she left. Talbot was confused about the whole situation.


    "Well…That was…" ''What''s going on between them?'' he wondered. He shifted his gaze from ir''s


    receding figure to Wesley, who was still holding the ointment in his hand. Talbot was at a loss for what


    he should do next.


    Joslyn saw ir walking in her direction, so she hastily ran towards her. But before she could reach


    ir, Wesley caught up to her.


    He slipped the ointment into ir''s hand and said, "Talbot bought this for you, not for me. And you''re


    the one who is scalded. Take it!"


    Without giving her the chance to retort, he quickly disappeared from the canteen.


    ''Yes, Talbot bought it. But on your order, Wesley!'' ir sulked. If there weren''t so many students


    watching them, she would have tossed it at his face.


    After Wesley left, the other soldiers in camouge uniforms got up and left the canteen in no time.


    Meanwhile, ir was surrounded by a group of girls before she could say a word to Joslyn. "ir, do


    you know Wesley?"


    "Why does he treat you so well? He gave you first aid himself."


    "What''s the rtionship between you two?"


    The girls bombarded ir with a barrage of questions. To avoid more trouble, she shook her head


    vigorously. "No, no. I don''t know him. He once trained Joslyn and me in the college ground. That''s all."


    Her reply disappointed the girls. They sighed with pity and dispersed.


    After the girls left, the boy student, who had knocked into ir earlier, came over to apologize to her.


    "ir, I''m really sorry. I didn''t mean to do it. How about I take you to the clinic now?"


    ir took a look at her scalded arm. A few blisters had formed on the scalds. But she said, "No. I''ll try


    applying the ointment first. If that doesn''t work, I''ll go see a doctor."


    The boy nodded. After his friends reminded him, he exchanged contact information with ir. He told


    her that if she needed any help, she could call him at any time.


    ir and Joslyn left the canteen and walked to a pavilion on the campus. Joslyn helped ir apply the


    ointment to the wound. As she wiped her hands with a wet tissue, Joslyn asked, "Did you two quarrel?"


    ir shook her head. "We''re not a couple. Not that close to have a quarrel. But he looked down on me.


    Joslyn, what do I see in him? Why would I fall in love with such a sharp-tongued man? He doesn''t


    deserve to have a girlfriend!"


    Joslyn was surprised by ir''s anger. "What on earth happened? What did he say to you? Why are


    you so angry?" ir was a soft and patient girl. She always smiled to everyone. Joslyn seldom saw her


    like this.


    ''Maybe she loves Wesley so much that she cares about every word thates out of his mouth, ''


    Joslyn reckoned.


    ir felt embarrassed to repeat Wesley''s words. She blew on her scalded arm and said, "Whatever, he


    did look down on me. Joslyn, I don''t want to love him anymore. He''s such a jerk!"


    Joslyn sighed. "If you can control your feelings, then just forget about him."


    Like many young girls, ir had had her first awakening of love when she was around seventeen years


    old.


    She used to admire Wesley as her idol for two years. Then when she was neen, their paths had


    finally crossed. Since then, she had secretly loved him and had tried to pursue him. So, to be precise,


    she had loved him for more than three years.


    The two girls silently sat on the bench of the pavilion, watching the studentse and go around the


    campus. asionally, they could hear some students gossiping about ir and Wesley. It seemed like


    the students had already begun to put their names together.


    On their way back to the ssroom, they walked past the training ground and saw arge group of


    students in a circle. Thunderous exmation and apuse arose from the crowd.


    Joslyn excitedly dragged ir towards the crowd. "Bless, let''s go have a look. I heard some girls


    exim about someone being very handsome. There must be some hot men in the training


    ground!"
