Chapter 348: I&##x27;ll Wait for You to Come Back

Mark smiled embarrassedly. His eyes were filled with tenderness, and his face wore a gentle smile.

"Elaine, it's also a good thing that the school suddenly decided to let you go out for art collection. It's
good for the improvement of your painting. Remember to study hard and take good care of yourself out
there. The sea breeze over there is quite strong. Pay attention to keep warm."

Mark said gently, and Elaine nodded her head vigorously.

In the end, Elaine was so moved that she looked at Mark and said,

"Mark, thank you. You are so considerate."

“Mark is so careful!” Elaine thought.

Michael puckered in a smile. "Is he considerate? I didn't notice! Mark the Genius is famous for his
indifferent manner! Why is he only considerate to you, Elaine? Mark? Tell me about it!"

...

Elaine immediately glared at Michael, puffed up her cheeks, and retorted,

"You're talking nonsense! Mark has been famous for being gentle and refined since high school! He’s
not like what you said, right, Mark?"

“Ahem!” The other three geniuses all coughed in unison exaggeratedly.

Mark then put his fist to his lips and smiled down.

His eyes were covered with deep affection.



Mark's gentle gaze was like the warm sunlight, covering Elaine's head, making her feel warm and her
heart beat abnormally.

"What Elaine said is correct."

Patrick made a vomiting expression and urged Mark,

"Hey, Mark, where's your gift? Haven’t you prepared a parting gift? Why don't you take it out? I drove to
the mall so quickly."

A gift?(⊙_⊙)

Elaine was stunned.

Really? Was Mark actually so thoughtful?

Mark blushed and took out a paper bag from his bag. He took two steps forward and handed it to
Elaine.

"This is ... for you..."

Mark did not speak as smoothly as usual with some shyness in his eyes.

Elaine gapped her eyes and timidly stretched out her small hands, as she was afraid that the bag Mark
had given her would contain a biting dinosaur.

"What ... is this?"

"A scarf. The sea breeze over there is quite strong. Be careful to keep warm."

Oh... I was just curious at his words. Mark mentioned the sea breeze in Iceland. That was just an
excuse to give me this.



A scarf.

Elaine tilted her head and opened the bag. She took out the checked wool scarf and grabbed it in her
hand. It was so soft and felt very good.

"Mark... It’s costing you much... I feel so bad..."

Elaine grinned. Actually, she liked the classic checked scarf.

It had both the style of the academy and the taste of home. It was very suitable for people like her.

...

But she felt it was rude to try it on right away. She had to say something polite.

It was the Chinese style of accepting gifts. You had to act like this.

Mark smiled gently. Before he could say anything, Patrick said,

"You don't have to worry about the money. Mark is so rich, extraordinarily rich. Besides, it took him a lot
of effort to pick this scarf for you. He dragged me to almost every store in the mall. Look, even the
soles of my shoes were worn."

Elaine's eyes widened a little.

Mark chuckled, "Don't listen to him. He's exaggerating."

"Exaggerating? I'm telling the truth! Didn't you delay the summit meeting just to buy this scarf?"

Mark quickly glanced at Elaine and then glared at Patrick.

Patrick grinned and said, "Alright, I said too much. Oh, looks like this is such a thankless task."



Elaine failed to keep up with the thinking of these great geniuses.

She was confused by what they said to each other.

Franklin was howling on the phone again because of his website, causing Elaine to be even more
confused.

She opened her crystal eyes wide and looked at Mark blankly.

Mark reached out and touched Elaine's head. His gentle movements were filled with love.

"Be careful out there. Don't try to be a hero when things go wrong or wander around carelessly. Follow
the team. I'll wait for you to come back."

(⊙_⊙)

“I'll wait for you to come back...”

These few words made Elaine frozen there!

What did he mean?

“I'll wait for you to come back.” What did that mean?

Did this mean that Mark was insinuating, "Elaine, I love you so much. I can't live without you. I'll wait for
you to come back and ask for my love..."

Elaine blinked her eyes hard and shot her wild thoughts away. Then she smiled at Mark and nodded,
"Yeah, don't worry, Mark. I will take good care of myself."

...



Forget about the “I’ll wait for you to come back.” Elaine, you should be more sensible. You should just
ignore all the unrealistic things.

Franklin was overwhelmed with worry because of the recent hacking of his website. He was shouting at
the phone, and when he turned around, he saw a scene that shocked him!

Under the autumn wind, Elaine raised her beautiful, pure face and looked at Mark, who was facing the
wind with admiration. Mark's gaze seemed to be filled with scorching heat as he lowered his head and
looked at the little girl affectionately.

A thought flashed through Franklin's mind.

Elaine's and Mark's heights coincided with the golden kissing distance!

As long as Mark lowered his head slightly, he could kiss on the little girl's pink lips.

What a despicable me...

Franklin hurriedly cut off the phone, pointed at Elaine, and shouted,

"Elaine! Don't take Mark's gift. The scarf he bought looks bad. I'll buy you a better one!"

Both Patrick and Michael sneered at Franklin, mocking him for poaching his friend’s girl.

Hearing Franklin's words, Mark picked up the scarf and wrapped it around Elaine's neck. He looked at
it and said,

"It's really beautiful... Just like I imagined."

Elaine felt the soft texture of the wool scarf. Her neck felt extremely comfortable and she didn’t take
thought carefully about Mark’s words.



What did Mark mean by “Just like he imagined”? Did that mean that he would always think about you?

Elaine held one end of the scarf in her hand and swung it around. She bared her little white teeth and
faced the sunlight, smiling foolishly at Mark.

Later, Elaine was named "the School Babe who you want to protect the most" with absolute high
scores.

As for Hazel, she was named “the Toughest Girl of the year" without any doubt.

As these people were talking, an off-road vehicle drove over and stopped beside them.

Just as these people were wondering whose car this was, Hazel jumped out of the car.

Franklin's jaw dropped in amazement.

"Holy shit! It’s so crazy for you to drive your car on the campus."

It seemed that only teachers were allowed to drive on the campus.

...

Michael said to Franklin, "You also drove your car to our dormitory just like that. Do you have the face
to blame her? Don't tell me you’re hitting on her?"

"Me? I’m hitting on her? Stop joking!"

Franklin shrugged and rolled his eyes.

He didn't like Hazel very much.

Hazel coldly glanced at Franklin. Her words were even meaner.



"I just thought I smelled a dog’s stink the moment I got out of the car. Well, there was actually a dog
barking here. It was unsightly, so quickly fuck off! Haven’t you heard about ‘a barking Franklin never
bites’?”

Michael, Patrick, Elaine, and Mark were all so amused by Hazel's words that they began to laugh back
and forth.

Franklin was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly. He walked over and grabbed Hazel's clothes.
He raised his big fist, pretending to punch Hazel.

Actually, he was just putting on an act. Everyone was used to it. They know it was just a joke.

However, none of them had thought that in the next second, they would hear a person shouting with
great momentum,

"Stop! What are you doing! Don't hit anyone!!"

(⊙_⊙)

Everyone, including the giggling Hazel, was stunned. They all turned around and looked at Bradley,
who had jumped out of the car.

Bradley had originally agreed with Hazel that as long as he sent her here, he would directly drive away.
And, from then on, they would never meet again.

But...

Now, Bradley just couldn't help but jump out and slam the car door. He strode to Hazel's side and
pushed Franklin away. He glared at him angrily,

"Do you want to hit her? If you dare to hit her, I will send you to the police!"



Franklin puffed up his mouth and was stunned.

He was joking with Hazel, okay?

He, the dignified and elegant computer prince, would never hit a woman.

Besides, this woman was also close to his friend!

Why is this man so serious?

Hazel was stunned for a moment, then she looked at Franklin's appearance and couldn't help but laugh
out loud.

"Ha-ha... Franklin, I'm so happy today. It's rare to see your poop-eating expression. I've really earned it,
ha-ha."

...

Bradley felt embarrassed.

It seemed that... he was too nervous...

They were not enemies at all, but more like happy foes.
