One Night Stand With That Beggar

It was a public holiday in Country M.

Therefore, neither Eddison nor Rachel woke up early. It was not until 10 a. m. that they got up to have their breakfast.

“I’ve heard that there is an event not far from here. Would you like to go and have a look?”

Curious, Rachel asked, “What kind of event? I thought you’ve always disliked crowded places.”

“This is different. It’ll be our first date!”

Rachel was stunned. She tried to recollect the time they had spent together.

It turned out that he was right.

They hadn’t had a real date yet. That day would be their first official date.

“Then, wait for me to get dressed!”

“I’ll go and change my clothes too.”

…

On the other side, Sierra, who had also dressed up, was looking at herself carefully in front of the mirror.

“Mom, how do I look?”

“You are gorgeous! I’m sure Eddison will be amazed when he sees you!”

“Mom, what are you talking about? I didn’t say that I’m going to meet him.”

“Yea, sure! You’re just going out for a walk, right? Do you want me to keep you company?”

“No, I’ll go by myself.”

Then, the two of them looked at each other and laughed. Sierra went out with her purse while calling Eddison.

To her dismay, he didn’t answer her call.

Sierra paused for a while before she called the head of his dormitory.

…

Rachel was done washing up and had changed into a different outfit, only to find that Eddison had not finished changing his clothes yet. She could not help whispering, “As a man, how come you’re slower than a woman like me?”

Then, she heard a phone ring. She glanced at it. It came from Eddison’s phone, which had been left by him on the side table.

She shouted, “Your phone is ringing!”

“Help me to pick it up!”

She took up his phone. Upon noticing that the caller was Serra, she put it down again.

The phone kept ringing for a while before it stopped.

For a long time, Rachel stared at the phone while standing still.

She was still in that position when Eddison came down.

He asked, “What’s wrong? Who was calling me?”

His tone was inquiring.

It seemed that Rachel wanted to make a sharp remark, but in the end, she just told him the truth.

“It was from Sierra. Do you want to give her a reply?”

He asked with a smile, “Are you jealous of her?”

She rolled her eyes at him, “You look like you’re enjoying yourself very much.”

“Yes, a little, since it indicates that you care about me!”

She was rendered speechless.

She wondered when he had become such a smooth talker.

“You were lying to me before, weren’t you? It looks like you have plenty of experience in relationships.”

He couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t you know that all men are born with the talent of pursuing girls? Anyway, let’s go!”

They didn’t leave by car. It was rare for them to have a sweet moment together, hence they rented a tandem bicycle.

Rachel had no idea how to ride a bicycle. Fortunately, Eddison was good at it. He rode at the front, controlling the direction while teaching her to follow his pace.

It didn’t take long for the bicycle to start moving stably.

Rachel was as happy as a lark.

“Wow, it’s moving, and we’re not falling!”

“Of course, we won’t fall!”

“I always wondered how a bicycle could be balanced with just two wheels. It turns out that I’ve been thinking too much into it.”

Feeling that she was very adorable, he said, “Then, I’ll buy you a bicycle next time, and I’ll teach you how to ride it!”

“Okay!”

They were riding it while chatting along the way. It took an hour for them to reach the destination of the event.

The event was actually similar to a social meetup. Being handsome and beautiful respectively, the two of them caught the attention of many local single men and women once they arrived.

Consequently, many people tried to strike up a conversation with them.

Eventually, the two of them had to show those people that they were married and flee from there.

After that, they sat on a bench at the roadside and rested briefly.

“Where do you want to go next? I’ll go with you!”

Rachel thought for a moment and replied, “There seems to be a superb taco restaurant near our university. I’m even getting a little hungry thinking about it. Why not we try it out?”

“Sounds good to me!”

It had been a long time since Eddison had tacos.

…

Sierra found out that Eddison had not stayed in the dormitory for quite a while after she made the call. She couldn’t find him, thus she could only wander around aimlessly.

Unexpectedly, she met him near the university.

She rejoiced in her good fortune. Just when she was about to go up and say hello, she saw him running towards a girl with a balloon in his hand.

The girl took the balloon from him with a bright smile on her face.

He pointed at his cheek, as if he was asking her to kiss him.

That girl was no other than Rachel, the freshman who had been keeping a low profile in university.

Starting from that day when she saw Eddison texting someone else, she had been wondering if he had fallen in love with another girl. She suspected many outstanding girls in the university of dating him.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

However, she didn’t expect that his girlfriend would be Rachel.

Before that, Sierra failed to regard her as a threat. To her, Rachel was neither coquettish nor did she have a unique personality. She reckoned that Rachel was just an ordinary girl.

Sierra clenched her fists tightly. Perhaps, at first, she had wanted to meet Eddison just to stabilize their relationships. However, at the moment, she was consumed by jealousy and she intended to take him away from Rachel.

Human nature could be inexplicable sometimes. Initially, Sierra might not have liked him, but when he was romantically involved with someone else, she couldn’t stand it.

Thinking of that, she took a deep breath and walked over to them.

“Rachel? What a coincidence!”

Upon hearing that, Rachel turned her head, seeing Sierra walking towards them in her conspicuous outfit.

“Oh, Eddison, you’re here too! What a small world! I came to the university today to get something, and happened to meet the two of you. Did you two meet here too?”

She could tell that they were on a date, but she was unwilling to admit it.

In fact, she was also testing their relationship. If Eddison agreed with her, it would mean that Rachel was not a threat for her because Eddison did not take Rachel seriously.

Rachel also realized Sierra’s intentions when she heard her question.

Would Eddison make their relationship clear in front of Sierra?

As she was deep in thought, his warm hand had already reached out to take hers.

“Sierra, the two of us came here together.”

Sierra got bent out of shape at the sight of that. Their hands, which were holding together, made her sick.

She took a deep breath and regained her composure before she asked, “Are you two-”

“We’re dating!”

Eddison’s tone was firm

Rachel looked affectionately at him while nodding as well, “Yes!”

“Well then, congratulations!”

Her anger and disappointment was masked by a pretense that she was happy for them.

She thought he had liked her all along. She wondered why he had suddenly fallen in love with Rachel.

“It’s nice to know about you guys dating. Why don’t I treat you two to a meal?”

Rachel shook her head, “No, thanks!”

“Why not? Are you looking down on me, just like the others?”

“No, I’m not!”

“Then, you should let me treat you. Come on, let’s go! You two have just gotten together, so you must be unaware of his disposition. I’ll tell you more about Eddison!”

After that, without waiting for Rachel’s reply, she immediately pushed her into the taco restaurant next to them.

Then, Eddison went to the counter to place orders while leaving them to have some girl talk.
