“Shut up! All you can do is to blame this and blame that!” Allen looked at Phoebe with his hips akimbo and said angrily, “Anyway, I will contact the Collins and tell them you’re willing to do anything to get their forgiveness. Don’t make things worse!”

When Phoebe heard this, her tears fell again.

Ada hurriedly comforted her. “Okay, okay, don’t cry. The medicine is getting washed by your tears.”

It was late, and neon lights flickered on the street.

James turned off the car, turned his head, and looked at the young man in the co-pilot, who had fair and tender skin and golden curly hair, looking soft and cute.

“Does your arm still hurt?”

Derek was stunned for a moment, then suddenly covered his arm. “It hurts…”

James laughed. “How many days has it been? Does it still hurt?”

“Yes, it was almost broken!”

James didn’t bother to expose his lie.

Derek unfastened the seat belt with one hand and then leaned on James. “If there is a kiss from Mr. Walker…”

“No way.” James ruthlessly pushed the boy’s head away. “I will take you home first.”

As he was about to start the car, his hand was suddenly grabbed.

He turned his head only to see Derek lean over.

James leaned back subconsciously, but the young man did nothing but gazed at him with glowing eyes, his face so sincere and completely devoid of his usual cynicism.

His voice went low. “Mr. Walker, you’ve been rejecting me.”

James was about to speak.

Derek suddenly covered his mouth. “I know you’re going to preach to me again, trying to make me give up, but whatever, let me finish.”

James no longer made a sound.

The boy’s cheeks were glowing red. He seemed to be a little bit shy, and his pupils seemed to be immersed in water, clear and clean, with pure admiration and bewilderment.

He said word by word, “Mr. Walker, you’ve found countless reasons to reject me. You said that I can’t gain the support of my family. In fact, I broke up with my dad years ago. You said you are 10 years older than me, but is that important? I can take care of you when you’re old. You said I wouldn’t dare to hold your hands on the street, but why do you think so? Not only do I dare to hold your hand, but I also dare to go out and tell everyone I love you!”

With that said, he prepared to open the door and rush out.

James hurriedly stopped him. “I was joking.”

Derek looked at him, suddenly curled his lips, and started crying aggrievedly. With tears pattering down, he choked. “Why have you been rejecting me? Is it because I am not good enough, or is it because… I always bullied you before. If I had known I would like you so much, I would definitely not have troubled you, boohoo…”

“Why… why are you crying?” James got a headache and hurriedly drew a tissue to wipe the tears of the boy.

In the past 28 years, there were some people who had chased him.

But this was the first time that someone confessed his love to him so openly and straightforwardly. It was the simple and strong love of a child without the calculation and trade-offs of adults.

It seemed that he would never shrink back even if he hit his head bleeding.

Looking at the boy’s red eyes, James’s heart did a flip and he sighed.

If this was destined, why should he dodge?

After a moment of silence, James said, “Okay… but at school, we have to maintain the teacher-student relationship. Don’t mess around.”

“Oh…” Derek was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized what he said. His watery eyes were widened, and he was surprised and pleased, completely at a loss.. “Mr. Walker… You mean… you agree to be with me?!”
