Chapter 4Starlight and Scars

After that time, Caleb and I were in a cold war for a whole week.

Caleb didn't think he was wrong at first:

"I always treat Gigi as a sister. How could I pretend not to see when her foot was injured?"

I was expressionless:

"Her foot was injured, she could call her mom to pick her up, she could call your family's driver to pick her up. Why did she have to wait for you there?!

"You treat her as a sister, does she treat you as a brother?! Dare you say you don't know she likes you?!"

Caleb's eyes dodged, finally sighed and hugged me.

"Stella, I really only like you. In the future, I will make it clear to her and keep a distance from her, okay?"

I closed my eyes:

"Okay."

After that, Caleb really went to find Gigi.

Don't know what he said to her, I only know Gigi cried out of the classroom and never looked for Caleb again.

I thought this matter was resolved.

Unexpectedly, one day Caleb suddenly frowned and found me, hesitatingly said:

"Gigi said a guy from another school keeps pestering her. She rejected him several times but he still pesters her. Today he found a few of Gigi's friends to hang out. She asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend to persuade that guy to back off."

Looking at my expression, he added:

"Just one night, just let that guy retreat knowing the difficulty."

"Didn't we agree before? Today sprained ankle needs you to carry home, tomorrow pestered needs you to pretend to be boyfriend, what about the day after tomorrow?!"

Caleb's temper wasn't good, but when with me he always patiently coaxed me:

"If it weren't for saving my dad back then, Gigi's dad wouldn't have died, and she would have a father to protect her now. I really can't ignore her. Just this once, if you're worried, come with me, okay?"

Words came to this, I knew arguing with Caleb further wouldn't have any result, could only agree.

"Only one day, I'll go with you guys."

Caleb smiled, cupped my face and kissed me.

"Wifey is really so understanding, love you the most!"
