Chapter 6 You Experience Life, I Experience Love (Part Two)

"Then I'll take it for you."

Hearing that, Cornelia was speechless for a while. After a long time of reflection, she felt a little unbelievable. Finally, she said dryly, "Marshall, what are you doing? Won't Hilda be angry if she knows?"

It was not until she finished her words that she realized that it was not appropriate. Such words were really misleading.

Sure enough, Marshall's voice was half smiling, but deep, "I'm not with Hilda."

With an embarrassed smile, Cornelia said, "No, that's not what I mean."

Marshall said, "But what I mean is obvious. Cornelia, I know you don't hate me, but you just take me as a friend. I haven't seen you for so many days since I came back from the Fragrant Hill, and you don't talk to me either. But from... From the day I registered for the school, I only like you."

Looking at the serious face of Marshall, which had never been serious since the day she knew him, Cornelia felt a little confused.

What happened on the day of registration was still vivid in her mind.

It was a sunny day. Wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, Cornelia carried the sports backpack that she was still using with a small suitcase. Beads of sweat began to form on her forehead under the bright sun. She walked along the road to the reception desk of the new students of History Department. As soon as she walked over, a tall boy came up with a smile and asked her if she was a student of History Department. She said yes. Later she knew that the fellow apprentice was a well-known handsome man in History Department of Grade 2000, Jonas Qiao. Jonas Qiao asked her name directly and gave her the key to the dormitory. Then he took over the suitcase in her hand and forcefully took off her backpack. She was very embarrassed and insisted on carrying it by herself. In the end, she failed.

After taking only two steps, a sound of "bang" was heard. Cornelia turned around and saw a petite and beautiful girl. Her schoolbag fell to the ground. Her suitcase was pulled by another man. She only carried a big backpack, but it still fell to the ground.

The girl was Hilda.

Cornelia helped Hilda pick up her schoolbag and said, "Let me help you with it."

Hilda smiled and said, "Thank you. I'll take it myself." At that time, Cornelia thought that the girl's eyes were so beautiful and she looked so beautiful. There was a kind of woman's beauty called life and death. As for Cornelia, she knew that she didn't have such an expression.

At this time, a boy came over and said to Cornelia, "I can help her." The boy said with a smile. Although he snatched Hilda's schoolbag, he looked a little flustered and inexperienced.

The boy was Marshall. At that time, Cornelia thought he was also her senior fellow apprentice, and even when he sat in the back corner to cheer for the Welcome Party, she thought he was her senior fellow apprentice. When she finally knew that he was a freshman of the School of Finance, he was pulled down from the tree by the drillmaster during the military training.

At the thought of this, many pieces of information were found out in a chain. Cornelia had an epiphany, but she found it hard to believe.

'Did he do all these for me?

No, that's impossible.' Cornelia tried her best to get rid of this idea. It was hard for her to accept it.

In her eyes, Marshall had always been a gentleman with a little unruly and didn't care about anything.

Cornelia slowly pulled out her hand and said, "Marshall..." She couldn't speak but shook her head slightly.

Marshall's eyes darkened. After a while, he said in a low voice, "Anyway, remember, even if you don't like me, I don't like her either. I have my heart."

At last, Cornelia began to work at Starry Restaurant. She decided to work with Rowena for a period of time at Starry Restaurant. She wanted to stay with Rowena for one or two months. But she couldn't tell the reason.

Maybe she really wanted to experience life by herself.

In fact, they didn't have the same time, because they all had an option. Some of the options were arranged at noon break, and some were arranged at night. From Monday to Friday, they would go to work according to their spare time. Only on weekends, the two would go to work all day long.

Marshall didn't prevent Cornelia from going to work, he stubbornly picked her up every time. He still smiled as usual and said, "I'm free now. Can I go out to relax?" Or he could say, "You see, if you can experience life, can't I? I want to experience how to be a boyfriend." Or, "It's so late. You're not very beautiful. But a hooligan is not particular about your beauty. At least he is not as strict as when I choose a girlfriend. Let alone the robbers."

Anyway, he had all kinds of excuses.

Cornelia was willing to admit defeat if he said something shameless.

What's more, what Marshall said was right. Starry Restaurant's night shift was off at ten o'clock. Their workplace was four stops away from the school, so it was indeed a little late.

In fact, there was also a Starry Restaurant on the first floor of the Contemporary Shopping Mall across the school, but Rowena said that she didn't want to meet people she knew at any time when she served the dishes, so they chose another branch which was four stops away from the school.

In fact, this was not a wise choice. In the Contemporary Shopping Mall, they could go back to school as long as they crossed the pedestrian bridge after work. But now, although there were many buses on this line, the problem was that they would cross the pedestrian bridge to the other side of the road after work. The bus in the daytime had basically passed the last bus time, and there were few night shift cars. Sometimes it would take them twenty or thirty minutes to wait for the bus. It was really inconvenient. With Marshall's company, Cornelia chatted with him and felt that the long waiting at night was not so difficult. At this time, a sense of gratitude and guilt arose in Cornelia's heart. Sometimes, she wanted to take a taxi, but Marshall didn't allow her. He said, "What a waste. How much did you earn at night?"

Marshall would go to the Meteorite Western Restaurant in the school to drink coffee, or go to the Starry Restaurant on the first floor of the Contemporary Shopping Mall to drink coffee. He would drink most of the night's salary of Cornelia with a cup of coffee.

Even though Cornelia was not sensitive, she could feel that Marshall just wanted to stay with her for a little longer. In such a cool night, the Zhongguancun Street, which was always crowded with cars from morning to night, finally became much quieter. Most of the shops on the street had closed, and the street lights were dim. At a glance, there were only many neon signs lit up lonely in the night. There was no scenery on the street, and the air was not fresh and pleasant.

Marshall also went to pick up Rowena. At first, Cornelia didn't know about it, but after she knew it later, she only had complex feelings in her heart. She didn't mean to flatter herself, saying that Marshall picked up Rowena because of her. She really didn't have a better explanation.

Sometimes, Cornelia also wondered whether it would be good if they really fell in love. In this way, she looked like a relatively late acquaintance. In the past two weeks, she had been thinking countless times about what love was? Is this care?

Her idea was frustrated after a short conversation with Hilda. Hilda told him her real identity. Hilda said sadly.

Hilda's home was in a small town. Her father was a grassroots worker, but her mother didn't have a job. When she was four years old, the family planning policy was implemented. But his parents gave birth to her brother under pressure. Then her parents chose to send her to her aunt's home. Her aunt couldn't have children. This matter was perfect for both of the two families, but for Hilda, it would never be perfect. At that time, she was four years old and her brother was only three months old. Her grandparents, parents had reached an agreement to keep her brother and send her out. They all preferred boys to girls.

What they did left a deep scar in Hilda's heart, because she was the one who was abandoned. Her aunt's family was far better than her own family, her uncle and aunt were also very good to her, giving her a good life, good education, buying her beautiful clothes and toys, and never beating and scolding her. But she couldn't let it go. She knew that was not the love of parents and children. She was very sensitive and always felt that she was under someone's roof. She had a firm will in her heart. She wanted to live a wonderful life in the future, to be excellent, to be happy, and to make her parents who had been hardhearted to give up on her feel ashamed.

She said that she found Marshall now. He was her love and her happiness in the future. The world shouldn't be so unfair. She had an unfortunate childhood and teenager, and she couldn't get love, so that she couldn't be happy in the future.

Therefore, she said that she was not willing to give up easily.

It was at night, and the night wind blew their clothes. They stood on the balcony, looking at the dark night and the lights of the city, like a net.

Hilda said it painfully. However, Cornelia was sorry that she couldn't feel the same way. Cornelia even felt that Hilda was old enough to get rid of the knot in her heart. Only in this way could she really find happiness. But she couldn't say it out, because Hilda wouldn't listen to her. So after Hilda finished her speech, Cornelia just looked at the night outside without saying anything.

Then Hilda turned around and said to Maynard, "With all due respect, you don't fit in with Marshall. You don't love him and don't know how to love him. You have no idea how it feels to love someone. But I know it clearly. I only love him."

Cornelia was very grateful to her for being able to speak it out so directly. But in fact, Cornelia was also a little confused.
