When My Bamboo Horse ReturnsChapter 1
1
On the day of our party, I lost the game Truth or Dare, so my childhood sweetheart, James Whitman, and I were forced to start the challenge of being a couple for a week.
My best friend, Karen Clark, laughed and said, "If anyone finds out, you'll both be punished."
James smiled, "Alright."
He took my hand and placed it on his abs. "How about checking it out now, my girlfriend? Are you satisfied?"
Through his thin shirt, I could clearly feel the strong and firm muscles under my hands.
I purposely squeezed it forcefully, and his muscles instantly tightened. I continued to move my hand down, and his body froze. Then, I subconsciously patted his side waist. "Eight-pack, not too bad. My boyfriend, keep it up."
Everyone roared with laughter. Seeing this, Karen complained, "This challenge was too easy for you guys, and it's as easy as pie!"
Indeed, everyone at the party felt that this challenge would be simple enough for James and I to accomplish.
After all, James and I had grown up together and had always been on intimate terms.
James and I could have physical contact as much as we wanted, and we were intimate as if we were lovers. Furthermore, he didn't mind eating my leftovers, and he even visited my house directly every Christmas and spent Christmas Eve with my family. My parents had no problem with this and took it for granted.
Before that, all my friends around me also agreed that he and I were dating by default.
James was cheerful and handsome, and he was the dream man for many girls in Arnold University. He treated girls courteously and was a great choice for their boyfriends. If someone asked me why I didn't take the opportunity to date James, I would say he was a real playboy.
James was not only well-known for his handsome appearance, but also for the frequency with which he changed his girlfriends.
James would even change girlfriends twice a month at the most frequent times.
Once when I curiously asked him why he dated different girls so frequently, he leaned on my knee lazily and played with my hair.
"Because women are horribly possessive. I don't like it when a girl loses her ego because she loves me."
James said, "You know about my family, right? My mom..."
James' mother, Laura, was madly in love with his father, Kevin, to the point where she finally became psychotic.
