Going on all fours, Calvin looked a sorry sight with the residual soup all over his face.
Elaine darted a look at him in disgust. She couldn't be bothered to speak to him; she was so annoyed with him that she found it offensive to the eye to take another look at him. "Let's go, dude." She grabbed Kingsley's arm. "The dorm will be closed in around two more hours. Let's hurry and get back."
Watching Kingsley and Elaine leave side by side, Calvin struggled and growled at the top of his voice, "Elaine Albright!" The rage and hatred in his eyes were almost palpable. Gritting his teeth hard, he bellowed like an animal, "You son of a b*tch! Not only did you make me lose face, but you also stole my woman! I'm gonna make you regret doing that! And you, Elaine! I'm definitely gonna make you sleep with me, you b*tch!"
At this moment, Kingsley and Elaine had long walked out of the restaurant, so they didn't hear Calvin's loud threats. For a time, the atmosphere between them was somewhat awkward as they walked side by side along the busy commercial street.
Seeing the student couples walking past them from time to time, Kingsley tried hard to strike up a conversation. "Uh… There are quite a lot of couples in this university…"
Elaine was startled for a moment. Then, she replied in a whisper, "Yeah, there are quite a lot of them."
Kingsley replied, "Well, it's pretty good to fall in love… Ahem…" At first, he wanted to start a conversation by chatting about some light-hearted subjects before slowly steering the conversation to
talk about Professor Albright. As he spoke, however, he also felt there was something wrong with his words. Consequently, he hurriedly hemmed twice and clammed up.
Just then, a little girl holding a handful of roses walked up to them and said to him, "Mister, would you like to buy some flowers for your girlfriend?"
"Uh… We're not dating…" said Kingsley. Just as he wanted to say no, he thought it'd be somewhat ungentlemanly of him to do so, for it'd make Elaine look bad. Therefore, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the flowers from the little girl. "How much is it?"
Seeing her empty hands, the little girl answered in surprise, "One stalk is 5 bucks, so 50 stalks are 250 in total!"
"250, huh…" Speechless, Kingsley took out 300 in cash. "Here's the money. Keep the change."
"Thank you, mister! Thank you so much!" The little girl took the money and scampered away happily.
Kingsley put the large handful of roses in Elaine's hands. "Here. Now that I've bought these roses, just take them."
Elaine's pretty face seemed to reflect the red color of the roses. "Actually… one stalk is enough…"
"Is that so?" Kingsley scratched his head. "This is my first time buying roses, so I'm not experienced in this. I thought roses were sold in packages…"
"Pffft!" Elaine chuckled as she was amused by his words. "I didn't expect you to have such a simple personality. You seemed quite brutal when you fought just now."
"I didn't fight…" Kingsley threw his hands up. "Calvin's the one who hit me first, but he got hurt due to the impact instead. I didn't hit him even once!" Seeing that Elaine had started talking, he began to try to bring the conversation around to Professor Albright. "I heard Calvin say just now that he was your father's favorite pupil. But doesn't he worry that your dad will find out about him treating you like that?"
"My dad knows very well what kind of a person Calvin is, but… This might sound ridiculous, but my dad isn't any better than Calvin is." Elaine let out a sigh. "The two of them are very alike. They're considered geniuses with exceptional talent in computer science, but their disposition is sort of a long story…"
When Kingsley heard this, he instantly figured out what she meant. There was a kind of person in the world that valued one's abilities more than their character. Seems like Professor Albright is such a person… At the thought of this, he couldn't help but frown slightly. If that Professor Albright really is the leader of The Anonymous, things will get a bit tricky…
