Mashauva did not reply.

Bruno scrutinized her, trying to guess what she was thinking. After a long while, he finally asked, "Will you still ignore me in the future?"

Mashauva shot a glance at him.

"Is Rosalie really not your girlfriend?"

"She's not."

Since they were on that topic, Mashauva thought her feelings were entirely obvious at that point. Not knowing if there would be another chance in the future, she decided to sort it out with Bruno once and for all.

"Then Bruno, you already know about my feelings, don't you?"

Bruno was stumped, not expecting her to be so straightforward.

He knew, but he did not want to discuss that with her at that moment.

Ruffling her hair, he said faintly, "You're still young. You should pay more attention to your studies."

He did not give her a direct answer, but Mashauva knew what he meant.

Afraid that she would overthink it, Bruno added, "We'll talk about the rest when you're an adult."

With that, a glimmer of hope burned within her.

"Do you mean we can be together after I become an adult?"

Bruno was momentarily silent.

What should he say?

"We'll talk about it all after you're an adult, okay?"

Mashauva suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Bruno, I'll take this as a promise."
