Chapter 22 Honest Confession

As for Erin, he actually peeked at Gwen during every AP class.

Gwen just never noticed.

The reason he was surprised just now was simply that he hadn't recalled the incident for a moment.

After all, in Erin's view...

The original owner's innocent crush ended before it even began.

Erin couldn't even be bothered to look back at the memories related to that unrequited love.

"Want to come together?" Gwen waved the textbook in her hand and invited.

That previous physical intimacy clearly gave Erin a special place in Gwen's heart.

It made her want to know more about Erin.

Erin shrugged and said, "Let's go together then. Coincidentally, I also have something I want to tell you."

Gwen turned to Erin and smiled, saying, "As long as you're not saying you can't come tomorrow night, that's fine. Of course, if you really are, I'll choose to be selectively deaf!"

After saying that, Gwen winked playfully at Erin.

Ah, this...

·······

The AP Calculus course offered by the Federal Association of Teachers was not as difficult as Erin had imagined; it was not much different in difficulty from the calculus Erin had studied in university in her previous life.

After a lesson that allowed him to review and learn something new, Ai Lin, who was recalling his calculus knowledge from his previous life, made rapid progress in his understanding of the subject.

What impressed Erin even more was...

Gwen, who was studying next to him, seemed to find the university's Advanced Calculus course a bit too simplistic. She spent most of the class studying some profound mathematical papers on her own.

If the school bell hadn't rung, Erin probably would have kept Gwen at school studying by herself until dark, clutching her books.

After putting his AP Calculus textbook in his locker, Erin took out his backpack, locked the locker, and prepared to leave.

Gwen, watching Erin take out her backpack, asked in surprise, "You haven't joined a club?"

Because the next day is the weekend, Friday afternoons after school are usually when most clubs choose to have gatherings and activities.

Erin shrugged: "I did add one before, but I have to go back early today."

Gwen nodded and smiled, "Oh, I see. Then I won't see you off. Our chemistry lab group has an activity later."

"Okay." Erin nodded, then said proactively, "See you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

·······

Goodbye, Gwen.

Before Erin could even reach the school gate, a chubby hand wrapped around Erin's neck from behind.

It was tightly strangled around Erin's neck.

"You little brat, Erin, I told you there was something going on between you and Gwen, but you said it was nothing. Now that I've caught you red-handed, you'd better confess."

"Don't try to renege on your promise, I saw it with my own eyes."

The one with those chubby, fleshy hands wrapped around Erin's neck was none other than the chubby little Doug Wong.

After forcefully prying open the chubby boy's fleshy hand, Erin said irritably, "Honestly confess my ass. Gwen and I are in the same pre-course microbiology class this afternoon, you know that."

After saying that, Erin twisted his neck, which was a little sore from being strangled by the chubby boy, and said, "Also, Big Dog, you need to lose weight. If you don't lose weight, we won't be able to see your neck anymore."

Big Dog is actually the nickname of the chubby Doug King.

Doug sounds very similar to the English word for dog.

Ever since someone started using "big dog" as a nickname for the chubby boy, his nickname has never changed.

As soon as Erin finished speaking, the chubby boy's face turned green, and he even forgot all about the gossip he had been thinking about about Erin and Gwen.

The chubby boy glared fiercely at Erin and said, "I told you, you can call me by my nickname, but you absolutely can't say I'm fat. I've said it so many times, I'm not fat, I'm strong. If you don't believe me, pinch my biceps, see how hard and solid they are!"

"hehe!"

Erin looked at the chubby boy's soft, fluffy biceps, as white and tender as cotton, and rolled his eyes at him, telling him to experience it for himself.

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of look is that? Let me tell you..."

Before the impatient chubby boy could argue, Erin slung his backpack over his shoulder and headed towards the school gate.

Seeing this, the chubby boy immediately quickened his pace and gritted his teeth to follow.

To avoid being bothered by the chubby boy, Erin walked quickly.

The chubby boy following behind him was sweating profusely, but he still couldn't catch up.

All I could do was watch from afar as Erin hailed a taxi and drove off.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Behind Erin, the chubby boy, sweating profusely and panting heavily, looked at Erin as he hailed a taxi and said with some surprise, "Taking a taxi? That's so extravagant. Has Erin struck it rich? He's so wasteful."

In the past.

Unless you participate in club activities or the like.

Otherwise, Erin would usually take the bus home with him after school.

After all, taking a taxi from school back to Chinatown isn't cheap.

For them, it's better to save the money for a game or a better game controller than to spend it on a taxi.

·······

I got out of the taxi.

Upon opening the door to the first floor, Erin indeed saw Pepper Potts, dressed in a sophisticated business attire, sitting on her sofa.

In front of her was an extra-large pizza box, a plate of fragrant fried chicken, and two drinks.

He rushed back home after school because Pepper Potts had told him beforehand that she was coming to see him today.

"Little Erin is back! I brought you the Crown Pizza Supreme Pizza Set Meal, and your favorite fried chicken. Oh, and a Coke too."

Upon seeing Erin enter, Pepper Potts, whose brow was furrowed with worry, forced herself to cheer up, dispelling her sorrow, and smiled as she invited Erin to sit down.

They also opened the cardboard box containing the pizza and fried chicken.

Crown Pizza is a very famous pizza shop in New York. Every day, the lines are always packed, so it's not easy to get a pizza from them.

As soon as the pizza box was opened, Erin smelled a rich aroma emanating from the Supreme Pizza.

Compared to the aroma of the pizza, the fried chicken on the side was much less appealing.

Erin didn't touch the fragrant pizza or the golden-brown, crispy fried chicken. Instead, she picked up the drink next to her and took a sip.

"Hmm, Cola, Aunt Pepper, you really know me. You know I like cola, not the juice in the Supreme Pizza meal."

Pepper Potts smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"Actually, I think the fresh juice from Crown Pizza is also very good. You can try it for a different flavor."
