Chapter 444: 444: The Golden Boy and the Jade Girl, A Naturally Perfect Pair (4)
At the same time, it also made everyone feel in an instant that Ruby, who could throw a mobile phone worth many times more expensive than a PM3 as if it was a toy, would not possibly steal an MP3.
Although Steve Burton cleared Ruby’s name with a few short words, she still seemed to be unhappy.
Steve, seeing the grievances flowing from the lines around her eyes, felt a deep pain in his heart. He then silently led her to the small garden on the school campus.
As they sat on the wooden bench, Ruby didn’t speak for a long time, and Steve didn’t disturb her either. After an unknown amount of time, laughter and cheer from the Gala Party began to echo from the classrooms. Ruby blinked her eyes, then hesitantly turned to Steve, asking, “Steve, don’t you want to go back to the Gala Party?”
“What about you?” Steve saw that she finally spoke and his lips curved into a faint smile.
Ruby shook her head, lowered her eyes, and muttered, “I don’t want to go back to the classroom to join the Gala Party.”
Steve said softly, “Okay, I’ll stay here with you.”
Then, Ruby remained silent for a long time, as the sound of singing, laughter, and piano music continued to flow from the school building. Possibly because of Steve’s long companionship, Ruby’s mood gradually calmed down, and she began to pour out her grievances to him.
Her voice was small, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She complained that despite all her efforts, she was not only disliked by everyone but also suspected. She said she didn’t want to be the class president anymore, as it had no meaning, she didn’t want to stay in that classroom, and she disliked her homeroom teacher.
At the end of the day, she was still a young girl. Even though she was complaining, she still mentioned what bothered her the most, “Steve, they don’t trust me.”
Steve didn’t say a word, listening quietly to Ruby’s words. It wasn’t until he heard her say that, he lifted his hand, stroked her head, and said, “I trust you.”
Ruby looked up at him as if she had heard heavenly music, her eyes filled with a hint of surprise, “Really?”
Steve stared at her now joyful expression, secretly letting out a sigh of relief. He then realized that his palms were covered in a layer of sweat. He nodded at her, and said with certainty, “Really, Ruby. Even if the whole world doesn’t trust you, I will always trust you.”
As Steve recalled this, the intensity of his kiss with Ruby deepened.
Ruby’s body tensed instinctively as Steve began to undress her. His movements paused for a moment, and he subconsciously wanted to roll away from her. However, Ruby grabbed his shoulder, her eyelashes trembling fiercely. After a while, she wrapped her arms around his neck, lifted her head gently, stared into his eyes, and said with a trembling voice, “Can we give it a try, please?”
As she finished these words, her entire body blushed pink with shyness. She held Steve’s neck tightly and then took the initiative to kiss his lips.
Steve’s heart surged, feeling a wave of dizziness, as he fiercely kissed her back.
The night outside the window grew darker, but the room inside was filled with a bright and charming spring atmosphere.
