Chapter 6 My Little Bear God
My advisor asked me to help her invigilate an exam, and I agreed.
What was initially a boring proctoring time turned interesting due to Patton’s mischief.
I noticed he finished writing the paper early, without bothering to check it. He was holding a mirror, seemingly self-absorbed. I thought he was just a narcissistic guy.
However, when the sunlight shone in my eyes while sitting on the platform, I looked towards the source of the light. Patton raised his eyebrows and gestured for me to look at his desk.
I walked over with a serious expression, only to find a butterfly created by sunlight on his desk.
Patton moved the mirror, and the butterfly flapped its wings on the desk, as if it wanted to fly away.
I chuckled, and confiscated his “crime” tool.
I mouthed to him: “Exam!”
Patton looked defeated, put away his pen, and went up to submit his paper.
After collecting the papers, Patton didn’t leave immediately. He came over, and I thought he wanted me to return his mirror. I handed it to him, but he didn’t take it. Hands in his pockets, he stood there like a stubborn child.
“Are you okay from that day?”
I tried to recall, not realizing which day he was referring to. I asked him.
“The day you were squatting on the road, and then…”
I thought about it. It should be the day I found out about Ashburn and Sophia’s relationship. I squatted down on the campus, feeling lost. There was a male classmate who thought I was unwell due to my period.
But I didn’t pay attention to what he looked like. My mind was full of thoughts about Ashburn. I left without even saying thank you.
“Why are you so stern? Weren’t you happy when you saw the butterfly just now?”
I ignored him and walked straight out. Patton, however, was persistent, insisting on chatting beside me.
“Little boy, I don’t have time for small talk with you.”
“What? Little boy? I’m one year older than you. I just started school late because I was sick when I was a child. In terms of age, you’re still my younger sister!”
Hearing that term, I became even less inclined to talk.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Well, fine, I’m out of here.”
I didn’t take Patton seriously, but Ashburn seemed to treat him as a formidable enemy.
