I didn't feel sorry for him when he was caught in the rain, just helpless.

After thinking about it, I took the umbrella and went downstairs.

He saw me and smiled.

He hugged me tightly.

"Sibley, I'm really sorry. It was my fault today. I shouldn't have gotten angry with you. Can you please stop ignoring me?"

I remained expressionless and didn't say anything.

He continued to explain and coax me patiently.

"Sibley, I didn't mean to blame you for spending money recklessly. I just think that we are still students, and we shouldn't spend that kind of money on a bag. We might as well save the money. After we graduate, we'll have startup capital. Don't you think so?

"Besides, not many college girls have bags that expensive, right?

"I'm sure you don't wanna be different in that way compared to others. What if they get jealous and isolate you? I will feel bad for you and worried about you."

The more I listened to what he said, the more uncomfortable I felt.

I came from a rich family, and my parents owned a listed company.

My family had at least a billion dollars.

I had been trying to keep a low profile since I came to this school.

Gerald said I was different from others? All I did was get a bag worth 10,000 dollars.

Seemed he was trying to manipulate me emotionally.

I sneered inwardly. I looked up, met his gaze, and said tentatively, "You're right. Shall I return the bag?"

He looked delighted and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes. And put the money with me. I'll keep it for you. From now on, I'll keep your monthly living expenses, too. You can ask me for it when you need it for food or something else. How about that?"

How about that?

Fuck you!

How dare you covet my living expenses?

You're so shameless!

I faked a smile and said, "I've saved over 150,000 dollars since I was a child. You want that as well?"

His eyes lit up when he heard that.

"Really, Sibley?"

I pushed him away and completely turned gloomy.

"When you go back to the dorm and go to sleep, sleep on a higher pillow. It may be true in your dream."

He was stunned for a moment.

Then he realized what I meant and shouted angrily at me, "Sibley, you're playing me?"

I rolled my eyes at him.

I felt disgusted.

"Gerald, let's break up."

After saying that, I turned back to the dorm without looking at him again.

Daphne Schwartz, one of my roommates, hadn't slept yet.

The other two roommates, Tasha Briggs and Myra, just came back from hanging out.
