You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 40

The next day, Edric wasn't absent from the recording scene either. After the 25 male guests finished their introductions, Irene's eyes lingered on a male guest named Bert Kent for a few seconds. Edric had been staring at Irene. When he saw her gaze at Bert, he frowned slightly.

During the second round, it was Irene's turn to ask the male guests questions. When it was her turn to question Bert, Irene asked him an additional question, "I want to know your opinion on romance, marriage and responsility." "Romance is a matter of two people being in love with each other. It can be a lifetime or a moment. Marriage is a lifetime of living together. Responsibility is what you have to bear when you do something."

"Do you believe in love at first sight?"

"I believe in it."

"Do you think love at first sight is love?"

"Strictly speaking, I don't think falling in love at first sight is love, but rather passion. True love should be developed over time. It requires two people's views on life and values to be basically the same. It needs two people to have chemistry and be mutually dependent upon each other." Irene nodded and moved on to the next male guest.

The expression on Edric's face became gloomy. According to his understanding of Irene, if she wasn't interested in him, she wouldn't spend so much time to get to know him. He stared at Bert for a while. He wasn't handsome, and at most could only be regarded as well proportioned. As for his job, he was just an ordinary company employee. He really couldn't find any aspect where he outshone the other male guests.

It was precisely because of this that he felt alarmed, and so did John. John gently asked, "Mr. Myers, something's not right, is it?"

Edric nodded. "It's up to you!"

The third round was an interaction game. Today's interaction game was based upon the first experience of love - "Happiness is waiting for you on the other side of the Milky Way". The rule of the game was that the male guest would walk blindfolded onto the stage full of obstacles while Irene would command from behind to see which of the male guests had the best chemistry with Irene.

Bert was the last male guest who played the game with Irene. As he had been watching the game previously, he got the hang of the game. Under Irene's command, he passed through the obstacles very steadily and soon made his way near the destination. The audience burst into applause due to their chemistry. But at this moment, Bert suddenly slipped and fell to the side. Upon seeing that, Edric suddenly stood up.

The stage was full of obstacles. When people fell, their instinctive reaction would be to take care of themselves. If Bert did that, Irene, who was on his back, would definitely be thrown out because of inertia. With the stage full of obstacles, if Irene was thrown out, the result could be imagined.

Just as Edric stood up, an unexpected scene happened. Bert didn't attend to himself first as everyone had expected. Instead, his first reaction was to protect Irene on his back.

Because of his movements, Irene didn't get thrown out because of the inertia, but continued to be fixed on his back by his arms. Bert, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. He fell forward and landed heavily on the barrier.

All the staff rushed forward. Bert's forehead was scraped by the barrier. Irene was unharmed, except a little frightened.

Seeing that Irene was unscathed, Edric sat down again and glanced coldly at John, who was beside him. John quickly lowered his voice and clarified, "I didn't do it! I haven't thought of a plan!"

The staff went up to rescue Bert and Irene. Someone asked Bert how his injury was and whether he needed to see the doctor. He answered, "It doesn't matter. It's just a minor injury. I'm not so fragile!"

Looking at the wound on his forehead, Irene took out a handkerchief and handed it to him. Upon seeing this scene, Edric's face darkened. John, who was next to him, snorted. "That Kent guy is quite interesting! He had already arrived at the finish line, but he suddenly caused such a scene. There wasn't any oil on the stage, so how did he fall down?"

"I don't want to say fancy words, because if you choose me, our future life would be ordinary and devoid of luxury. So my love declaration is to tell you my story." "Strictly speaking, my life is very miserable now. My father abandoned my mother and left with another woman when I was in high school. My mother couldn't accept this blow and chose to commit suicide, so I became an orphan when I was a teenager. I was able to attend college with the financial support of my relatives.
