The Backup Plan No More Chapter 2

Friends, my foot.

I had ulterior motives.

Even rabbits don't eat the grass around their burrows.

But I just had to fall for my childhood friend.

Ethan and I have known each other since we were kids.

Inseparable, childhood sweethearts. He clung to me, and I clung to him.

As we grew up, the boy gradually stretched out and matured.

Becoming more and more handsome, tall, and long-legged.

Many girls in school chased him.

Ethan had a flirtatious look, appearing like someone with a harem of girlfriends.

In reality, except for me, he hadn't even held hands with another girl.

Every time someone confessed to him, he would reject them with a smile.

Call him innocent.

Yet occasionally, this guy would say some incredible romantic lines.

For example, when I asked him why he didn't accept girls' confessions.

Ethan took a sip of his milk, resting his hand directly on my shoulder.

The refreshing scent of his body wash mixed with the sweet smell of strawberry milk lingered around my nose.

He grinned and said:

"They're not as good as you, Chloe."

"If I have to like someone, I'll just like you."

I only remember my ears turning red then.

Pretending to be calm, I told him to shut up.

Actually, my heart was like shaken soda.

Bubbling with joy, ready to explode in that instant.

—I thought time was on my side.

Long enough for me to stay by his side until he realized his feelings.

But I didn't expect.

He would fall in love at first sight with my roommate, Vanessa.
