Chapter 5

Under the forced interrogation of his bros, Adam was honest and revealed the entire story behind him and Shalom. This story made the two playboy, Bash and Philip sigh in amazement.

The punishment, they had for him, was even forgotten. In a blink of an eye, another week passed. Adam was trying to re-edit one of the novels he posted a while ago while waiting for Matilda. When a clear voice sounded out by his side.

Lifting his head, Adam looked off to the side, where he saw a slender, beautiful girl standing next to him. It was Adam's good friend, Matilda. But the expression on Matilda's face wasn't too happy.

"Hey Matilda, what's up?" Linley laughed.

Matilda bit her lower lips. She was silent for quite a while, before finally asking, "Adam, I heard…you have a girlfriend?" Matilda's eyes, beautiful and large, were firmly fixed upon Adam.

Adam was slightly startled. He hesitated. In his mind, many thoughts flashed by. But in the end, he still nodded. "Yes. Her name is Shalom."

Matilda eyes immediately turned red. "Congratulations." as she hurriedly turned away and left

"Sigh." After directly telling Matilda the truth, Adam felt restless and annoyed. But at the same time, he also felt relaxed.

After this event, Adam had no desire to keep reading. After noting down the name of this book, he returned it to the shelf.

On his way back to his dormitory, Adam couldn't help but feel rather grumpy. But then deeply sigh. After a while, a hint of smile appeared on his face. "Forget it. Since I've made things clear to Matilda, this won't be on my mind anymore. Mm, right. I'm meeting with Shalom again tomorrow. I have to prepare a present."

As he began thinking about Shalom, Adam felt much happier and more relaxed.

In a blink of an eye, its just 2 weeks before examination, Adam spent it, reading and preparing for examination. He and Shalom have both been busy and have not been able to meet so they talk on call. And chat at free time. He and Matilda. Are finally back to been friend. Though the previous vibe not found. They only read at the same table. But having fewer conversations.

Some days just before concluding of examination, Adam and Shalom had some misunderstanding. But of course, any long-term relationship would have small problem. Exams were finally concluded. They all went home to spend the 4 weeks Semester break at home.

After the break. they were back to school, waiting for result and starting lectures. The four bros were happy to finally see, each other after not seeing each other for weeks. Though they still communicate frequently. when they were at home. Lectures continue as usual, use to the system. It became easier to navigate school.

"Eh…there's something Shalom is hiding from me and doesn't want to tell me." Adam was walking with his three bros on the streets. Thinking back to the unhappy parting him and Shalom had last time, Adam felt very helpless.

Shalom and Adam grew up in very different circumstances, and also had many different thoughts on things. Most importantly of all. Shalom was a very independent, strong-minded girl. She definitely wasn't the sort that would easily compromise with others. What made Adam the most helpless of all was that Shalom was a closed gourd who hid her thoughts.

"Adam, you and Shalom are quarreling again?" Nas teased from the side.

Bash and Philip began to chuckle as well. Bash patted Adam on the shoulders and said, "Adam, I feel like you care a bit too much about this Shalom. Careful that you don't let your heart be hurt too badly if you break up. Look at me; I've had over ten different girlfriends by now. How relaxed and easy my life is!"

Adam glanced at Bash, speechless.

"Bash, watch your words. Adam is intending on making Shalom his wife." Philip chortled. Afterwards, he patted Mason on the shoulders as well. "But Adam, I have to say, as a man, there's plenty of women out there waiting for you. No need to restrict yourself so much."

Adam smiled but didn't speak.

He called her again, but she didn't pick. and still didn't reply his chats. Adam sigh.
