That incident was too humiliating.

Bruno walked to her side and spoke in a deep voice.

"I can keep it a secret, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Puzzled, Mashauva raised her head and happened to meet his deep gaze.

He placed his hand on her head and said softly, "Don't ignore me."

Mashauva's heart skipped a beat hearing that. Blushing as she stared into Bruno's eyes, she looked down after a while and said with a guilty conscience, "When have I ignored you?" "Haven't you been ignoring me these days?"

"I told you, I'm busy with my studies. It was not on purpose."

Bruno did not reply, and silence filled the air.

After a while, Mashauva mumbled, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back first. I have to get my homework done."

He still didn't speak. Mashauva glanced at him and noticed his gaze was fixed on her, his lips pursed.

"I'll take your silence as an okay then."

With that, she turned to run with her backpack on her back. However, just after a couple of steps, she realized she couldn't move anymore.

She took another step forward but found that she still could not move.

Hence, she looked back and saw that Bruno was grabbing the handle of her backpack.

"Bruno?"

Bruno let out a heavy sigh and said, "I asked you to come out so that we can talk. How can we continue if you keep trying to run away?"

Mashauva bit her lower lip and said nothing.
