Chapter 23 I Like Him

"Oh, I don't have any class this morning." Ellie pretended to be calm in front of Yvonne. "I don't want to
go to the library, since I'm too tired. "

"You work too hard at school, and we should relax ourselves." Said Yvonne, walking towards Ellie.

Ellie was so nervous that she sweated, what if Yvonne found out what she was doing! "By the way, why
did you come back?" Ellie shifted the topic of conversation nervously.

"I have to hand on the grant application form today, so I come back to get it," Yvonne began to look for
it on her desk, "can you accompany me to finish it and then let's go shopping together, okay? Since
you're bored, I'll go out with you to change your mood. "

Ellie was so nervous that she tightly held the form in her hand. 'If I give Yvonne the form now, I won't
have the phone number of her mother. But if I don't give her the form, will she be able to apply for the
grant?' She thought. However, Ellie turned a deaf ear to Yvonne and words faded her.

"Why can't I find my application form?" Frowning and rummaging through the files, Yvonne said, "Ellie,
have you seen it? I remember it was placed at the school. "

"No. Did you make a mistake?" Ellie folded the form in panic and put it into her pocket.

"Really? It doesn't matter, after all. Anyway, I don't intend to ask the teacher in the Department to give
me the grants, since I have quarreled with her before. So I'd better prepare for the final exam of the
semester, and the most important thing is to get the scholarship. "As she gave up looking for the
application, Yvonne thought that she would become a poor after leaving Cary. This semester, her
mother hadn't remitted money to her, which was her own request. Because it was not easy for her mom
to help her go to college, she had to move to the dormitory and work a few more jobs at that time.



"All right, all right. We don't have class today, how about go shopping and having a relax?" Then
Yvonne pulled Ellie out of the room.

"Wait a minute. I'll take my handbag." In a fluster, Ellie grabbed her handbag and was dragged out of
the room by Yvonne.

"If you don't have classes today, why do you come to school? Why didn't Cary stay with you? " Ellie
asked casually when the two were wandering on the street.

"Ellie, I feel that..." Yvonne seemed to be bothered by something but felt too embarrassed to speak it
out.

"What's wrong with you?" Ellie asked worriedly, she was afraid that Cary didn't treat her well.

"I feel like I'm in love with Cary." Yvonne looked at her, taking a deep breath and telling what was in her
heart. Then Yvonne closed her eyes and didn't dare to see Ellie's reaction. She seemed to be afraid
that Ellie would scold her for being so spineless.

Astonished, Ellie stood still and thought about the difficult question. She could have wished that Yvonne
would fall in love with Cary, but now she was just going to separate them.

Yvonne didn't hear Ellie's voice with her eyes closed, when she opened her eyes, she found that Ellie
had been stunned. "Are you scared by me? To be honest, I didn't expect that I would fall in love with
such a man. And, how ridiculous it is! It is just my own wishful thinking. "

"Then why don't you leave him?" Ellie breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've made up my mind. I'll tell him tonight that I want to move back to the dormitory. I don't want to go
on like this with him. It's not good for both of us." Yvonne looked at Ellie and said, "you'll support me,
right? Ellie, you're the only one that I can trust now. "



"Yes! Everything is going to be fine, Yvonne..." Ellie patted on her back comfortingly and thought, 'now
that you have decided to leave him, then what I am doing won't be wrong.'

"Today is Cary's birthday. I want to buy him a gift as my last wish to express my feelings for him, and
then I will leave him."

"Yvonne, you don't owe him anything, but he owes you. You don't have to do this," said Ellie in a
defending tone.

"Ellie, no one owe anything in love. Maybe I'm not a good girl, but I love him." Yvonne didn't think that
Cary owed her, although it was him who forced her at first, but she would be the only one who really
cared about this relationship in the end.

"Thief! Thief! " At the entrance of the mall, a middle-aged woman was shouting to an agile woman.

When Yvonne heard someone call out, she turned her head and saw a man wearing a mask running
past them, and the man almost hit Ellie.

"Catch him! He stole my wallet!" Yelled the woman, she was so exhausted that she wanted to ask the
passers-by to stop him.

"Ellie, help me with my backpack." After seeing that, Yvonne handed her bag to Ellie and ran towards
the thief. She was the champion of short-distance running in the school, so she might be able to catch
up with him.

"Hey, be careful!" Shouted Ellie, who was holding Yvonne's bag.

In the crowd, a girl who wore a white T-shirt and a yellow peaked cap took a skateboard. When she
saw someone was grabbing a thief, she threw the skateboard out and jumped on it agilely, chasing the
thief. She hadn't been on a skateboard for a long time, and now she had a chance to learn it.



Yvonne chased the thief and ran into the street. When they entered the pedestrian street next to the
mall, both of the girls were a little slower, but the thief was still rampaging.

"Stop! Don't run away!" Yvonne was about to be out of breath.

The girl who was riding the skateboard looked ahead while passing Yvonne, and soon she caught the
thief. But he swerved into a lane. The girl braked quickly and got out of the skateboard, then she got it
back and went back to the place where the thief went.

Gasping for breath, Yvonne saw the thief slip into an alley, so she immediately passed through the
small alley beside her, trying to stop the thief.

They encircled the thief in the back and forth, there was no way for the thief to go. Yvonne and the girl
were approaching the thief step by step.

"Give me the wallet," shouted Yvonne, panting. The girl riding the skateboard showed an aggressive
face, she glared at the thief without saying a word but everyone felt cold.

The thief looked at the two people from the left and right and couldn't escape but throw the wallet in his
hand to Yvonne. When he saw Yvonne taking the wallet in a hurry, he escaped.

When Yvonne was about to chase after him, the girl stopped her. "No need. I've been watching him all
the way. He didn't touch the wallet."

"But he is a thief." Yvonne looked at the cool girl and said.

"But you are not a police, all you need to do is get the wallet back. And you can't catch up with him."

"Yvonne, are you okay?" Ellie came over, together with the woman who lost the
wallet.

Yvonne chased the thief and ran into the street. When they entered the pedestrian street next to the
mall, both of the girls were a little slower, but the thief was still rampaging.
