Chapter 83: Childhood Sweethearts (II)
The atmosphere instantly became very eerie. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gwen's face showed a hint of bewilderment, and Mary tilted her face slightly, hiding the smug look at the corners of her mouth.
"He... Peter? Do you know this girl? β
Although Peter usually seems rather sluggish in interpersonal relationships and a fool in terms of feelings, he understands the situation in front of him even when it comes to emotional intelligence.
The legendary Shura Field actually descended on him, a guy who had been ready to be a virgin for thirty years, and it is really hard to say whether it was lucky or unlucky.
On the one hand, I have been dating for half a year, and my girlfriend is obsessed with me both in terms of personality and appearance. In his short life of more than ten years, Gewen is undoubtedly the favorite girl he has ever met, and the other party also likes her. Peter always felt that his luck was so good that it made him feel unreal.
On the other side is a childhood sweetheart who grew up with him. Although many of the other party's behaviors made him dislike, he was also faintly aware of her long-term feelings. What's more, he knew how much he hurt her last time, and he still had a vague feeling of guilt in his heart.
Either way, he didn't want to hurt.
He hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly. The power in his heart vaguely revealed a message to him: as long as he said a wrong word at this time, he would probably end up miserable.
In other words, the universe is omnipresent, and the power that can reveal all the secrets of the future and the past is used in this kind of place, although it is indeed very convenient, but I always feel that the style has been reduced a lot inexplicably...
"Hmm." Peter smiled brightly, and naturally moved his chair a little further in Mary's direction. "She's my former neighbor who moved out about six months ago."
Gwen's brow furrowed, then furrowed again. Mary had a look of disappointment on her face. And the expressions and reactions of these two people were taken into each other's eyes, and these two girls, who were quite delicate, learned some information that they wanted to know.
"Peter's neighbor, it's a pleasure to meet you for the first time." A slightly stiff smile appeared on Gwen's face. Although he knew that he should be reasonable and generous on this occasion, an awkward feeling still surged up from his heart uncontrollably.
This guy...
Why do you have a potential competitor for some reason? Why does a shy boyfriend who looks honest like this kind of bewitching girl? If it's an ordinary little girl next door, it's fine.,But when you meet this kind of specialty, it's a coquettish woman... She was a little uncertain. After all, a boy like Peter does seem to be easy to seduc.
"Nice to meet you." Mary took Gwen's outstretched hand and gave it two symbolic shakes. Like the girl sitting diagonally across from her, her expression was a little fake. "After only a few months of no contact, Peter suddenly had a girlfriend that I didn't even know about. This speed really scared me. I've been with him for so many years, and I haven't seen him get close to any girl but me. β
"Why, was Peter very unpopular with women before?" Ge Wen said with a smile, but there was a bit of sharpness in her tone. "I was really surprised, such a smart, considerate boy I thought there would be a lot of girls to rob him. Maybe it's because he's a little too picky, that's why he's always been single. β
Cut... This woman is really annoying. Mary cursed to herself. For Gwen, who snatched her 'own' Peter, her first impression was naturally not much better. The only few words exchanged between the two made her emotions almost out of control.
Why?
I've been friends with Peter for so many years, why did I lose to you, a guy who just came out of now!? Isn't it just a bit of a brain? Isn't it just having a family that isn't that bad? Why should this girl who already has everything come and snatch my things from someone who has nothing?
After taking a few deep breaths, Mary calmed down a little.
"Na, what you said does have some truth." She put her hands behind her head and straightened her chest as she straightened her hair a little, and the two peaks, which were already considerable for a girl not yet seventeen, showed seductive curves under the thin clothing. "It's a good idea to be picky, at least not to let him be deceived by those bad women. So my friend also needs to do him a little bit and help him check the gates. β
"Although you are not bad to say so. But it feels like it's a little too much. Gwen's eyes narrowed slightly, and Mary's words succeeded in rekindling the thorn that was now sticking to her heart, and her counter-words inevitably became more mean. I don't care much about my friend's emotional affairs, at most I just persuade a few words. After all, we are just friends, and we are not qualified to dictate other people's private lives. β

Peter was already trying to pick up his head and run away.
Two girls close to him were sitting on either side of him, constantly attacking each other with words that sounded kind but murderous underneath. And whenever he tried to interject to break the increasingly uncomfortable atmosphere, they would invariably warn Peter with a terrifying eye to stop meddling.
So he could barely utter a complete sentence.
He turned his gaze helplessly to the culprit of the time, and Harry seemed unaware of the situation around him. He ordered a cup of coffee and pulled out a biology magazine, which he read with relish.
This guy...
Peter gritted his teeth and looked at Harry, who had pushed his acting skills to the limit. This guy who was pretending to be stupid probably didn't even read a word about the contents of the magazine in his hand, and the gloating smile on the corner of his mouth from time to time betrayed the real psychological activity of this guy.
Peter had no doubt that his old friend, who was already a veteran of the flowers, would have a hundred ways to help him escape from this fateful scene, but he was also pretty sure that Harry, who was watching the excitement, would not interrupt his entertainment for the sake of his little Peter.
I don't seem to have annoyed him lately... Peter thought without tears.
"Thatβ" Peter plucked up his courage and spoke tentatively again. And like the previous times, two sharp eyes fell on him again.
"Would you like to order something more?" The two gazes grew colder with each word he spoke. However, at this time, Peter had already realized that letting the two girls continue to fight in the cold would only make the situation worse, so he could only continue to speak. "Look... We've been sitting here for so long. Why don't you order some more drinks or something, after all, it's not good to occupy a seat for too long. β
"Didn't Harry already order coffee? I'll forget it, I've already eaten a cake just now. β
"I don't need to, after all, I've been on a diet lately." Mary gestured at her waist. "It's very difficult for girls to protect their figures, and if they're not careful, they'll gain weight."
Gwen chuckled. "Really? Then I seem lucky, at least not to worry about this kind of thing. β
Seeing that the two of them were about to start a new round of war of words again, Harry, who had been watching the excitement from the sidelines, joined in.
"It's not too early, we might as well go to the amusement park early." He stretched and stood up. "Although I understand that you girls have a lot to talk about, Peter and I have always felt that we can't get into it."
