Chapter 255: Did You think I Was Being Unreasonable?
The girls in the crowd were more envious than jealous. Joshua was so sweet and thoughtful, he must be a wonderful boyfriend, they thought.
It looked like a real-life fairy tale, all of the female students were touched by his actions.
A lot of girls turned their heads to look at their boyfriends, with dissatisfaction in their eyes. The girls’ boyfriends were so stressed out and shocked.
What kind of person was Joshua? He didn’t have to stoop to please anyone. But when Hazel lost her temper, he didn’t get angry at all and persuaded her respectfully. If it were them… they would have worn a poker face and left. But now that Joshua had set a “good example,” they wondered if their girlfriends would ask such a request.
The male students could not help but look at Joshua resentfully. They really wanted to beg him to stop being so considerate. If he went on like this, they were terrified their girlfriends would start throwing shoes, too.
Derek watched quietly in the crowd, looking miserable. He had thought that Hazel wouldn’t be happy to be with Joshua.
Given Joshua’s identity and status, Hazel must always make allowances and indulge him, plus her pushy personality, she must be happy on the surface and bitter at the bottom of her heart. But he didn’t expect he’d be completely wrong. Joshua really beat him in every way. He lost.
Joshua wore a quiet expression as if he didn’t notice the gaze around him. He calmly helped Hazel put on her shoes.
Wearing her shoes, Hazel got up in a daze.
“Shall we leave since you don’t want to dance now?” Joshua stood up and asked softly.
In an instant, she became unhappy, saying angrily, “Who said I didn’t want to dance?”
Joshua’s eyes flash with a touch of surprise. Although Hazel was drunk, she showed her genuine emotions. Apparently, she was angry, so she was deliberately acting rebellious.
“Okay,” he said softly.
But just as he was trying to hold her hand, she shook his hands off. He looked at her apprehensively.
“You haven’t invited me!” Her eyes flashed with shyness.
“It’s my fault.” Joshua gave a slight smile and took a step back.
She looked at him in a daze. Joshua was standing upright in front of her, and he had a look of seriousness. He put his left hand behind him, tilted his upper body slightly, and slowly stretched out his right hand.
“My princess, may I have the honor to dance with you?” He smiled, his eyes are deep as stars and gentle as the sea.
Instantly, she felt as if her heart was about to pop up. Such an invitation was irresistible.
She slowly held out her hand to put it in his palm. He smiled his warm hand on her waist and danced with her.
The night was dark. The music went on. Joshua took Hazel spinning around the square. Hazel’s dress was flowing, and they looked like a pair of butterflies snuggled together, as beautiful as a picture.
The people around had already scattered. Their eyes could not resist but secretly fall on the two people. Even the girls, who had been jealous of Hazel, couldn’t help but feel that they were really a perfect match at this moment.
Hazel blinked, suddenly stretched out her arms around his neck. “Joshua, I want to fly!”
Joshua cocked his eyebrows. The next moment, his hands on her waist, he lifted her up. She let out a cry as she was suddenly flung in the air. But it was Joshua who held her, a man she could trust, so she was instantly reassured by his deep eyes.
A light smile appeared on Joshua’s lips as he spun around with Hazel, leaving a beautiful blue scene on the night.
The sound of gasps of surprise came as the picture of them dancing together was too beautiful to be interrupted.
In the crowd, Henry watched, glaring at them. Joshua sent someone to inform him of Lanny having a car accident, but he didn’t visit his father.
He didn’t think Joshua would show up, so he waited until Hazel became a laughing stock before he could take her away. After that, he could drive a wedge between them, he never expected that Joshua would go to the hospital and then to the ball.
Henry took a picture of them dancing together and sent it to his parents with a gloomy face.
As the music trailed off, Joshua gently put Hazel down. She leaned against his chest and chirped, “I’m a little dizzy...”
“Shall we leave then?” he asked.
“Mm!” Happy and satisfied, Hazel nodded her head vigorously. She tried to walk on, but she stumbled.
Joshua quickly held her, and the next moment he picked her up by the waist. In the limelight, he carried her out of Quantum University.
He carried her all the way to the car while she sang the entire time. It was
hard for her to sing an entire song but he still thought her singing was wonderful.
When the car reached Denmark Residence, Joshua took her out of the car. Hazel looked at him and suddenly said, “I’m sleepy.”
The next moment she leaned against his chest and closed her eyes directly.
“... Hazel?” He nudged her shoulder lightly.
He heard her breathing and smiled, she actually fell asleep so quickly.
He had no choice but to take her back to her bedroom.
***
When she woke up in the morning, Hazel got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash.
She was brushing her teeth when all of a sudden, the memories of the ball
come to mind one by one. She was in a daze instantly and stared at herself in the mirror, startled.
What had she done… last night?! She really wanted to crawl under a rock and hide.
After a pretty long time, she went downstairs and saw Joshua waiting for her in the dining room.
She was immediately embarrassed and did not want to face Joshua.
She had kicked off her shoe in front of so many people, not once but twice, on purpose. She also said she wanted to fly, so Joshua made her fly.
It was not right to hide, so with her head lowered, she walked into the dining room and pulled out a chair to sit down next to Joshua.
Joshua looked calmly at her and pushed his breakfast around his plate.
“That…” she spoke, working up her courage. “I got drunk yesterday and did a lot of stupid things…”
“Nothing.” A smile appeared on Joshua’s lips. She was so cute with her little temper tantrum.
“Then did you...” She looked at him shyly. “Did you think I was being unreasonable?”
