Gina sat on the back seat of Leonardâs bicycle.
It moved quickly on the road.
If it werenât for Gina, Leonard would have wanted to drift when turning.
âIâm so cool, Leonard thought proudly.
Unfortunately, Gina held onto the bicycle frame instead of embracing his waist, which disappointed Leonard.
However, Ginaâs beauty made Leonard the center of attention on the street.
Under the admiring gaze of the people, Leonard lifted his head proudly.
âWhat do you think these passersby are thinking?â Leonard asked.
Before Gina could answer, Leonard muttered, âI feel like weâre on the Titanic, but these people definitely think youâre Rose and Iâm a dead extra.â
Gina burst into laughter.
She realized that Leonard sensed her emotions and deliberately said that. She gave him a gentle smile.
âThank you for saving me, or I would have been in big trouble today.â
Gina suddenly said sincerely.
âAs far as I know, there are no schools around the square. Why did you go there and end up being trapped by them?â
Leonard asked curiously.
âMy friend asked me out, but I didnât see her and ended up seeing Elmore and the others.â
âIt seems like your friend sold you out.â
Leonard guessed.
âI know.â
Gina sounded a bit frustrated.
She was sad be betrayed by her friend.
âElmoreâs family is very powerful. Iâm afraid they wonât let you off.â
Gina expressed her concern.
âDonât worry. They canât compare to me, no matter what kind of background they have in Newden.â
Leonard said confidently, patting his chest.
âCome on. I would believe you if you werenât riding a bicycle. Do you think youâre the richest person in Newden?â Gina clearly didnât believe Leonard and thought he was bragging.
âBut I saved you. Arenât you touched? How about marrying me?â
Leonard turned his head and gave Gina a smile.
âIn your dreams. Iâm not a seventeen or eighteenâyearâold girl anymore. Iâm not that easily moved!â
âThen how old are you?â
Leonard knew Gina was in a bad mood and deliberately teased her to cheer her up.
âIâm nineteen.â
Gina smiled.
As they chatted, they entered an old neighborhood.
Gina jumped off the bike seat.
âThis is my house. Leonard, come in with me.â
She opened the door and entered a house.
Leonard followed her.
The house was only a little over 300 square feet.
The facilities inside were old but neatly arranged.
Some small decorations made the house feel cozy.
Gina took out a small box the size of her palm from the bedside table and handed it to Leonard. âYou saved me. I donât have anything else to give you. It was left by my grandpa. Now itâs yours.â
Leonard took the box and opened it. At the sight of the black object inside, he was puzzled..
âItâs a magical ointment.â
Gina took out a kitchen knife and cut her fair arm under Leonardâs astonished gaze. Blood gushed out at once.
âGina, you cut the wrong part. If you want to commit suicide, you should Gina was speechless.
your wrist,â Leonard muttered.
It seemed extremely painful. She took a bit of the black ointment and it t âDonât blink.â
Gina said.
her wound.
After about a minute, the black ointment hardened. Gina it, and the wound had tender flesh and healed.
and Leonardâs eyes widened.
It was magical.
âThis is the power of the black ointment. It was originally the size of a palm, but my grandpa was injured while tomb raiding and used some to treat his wounds.
âI donât have anything else to give you. Now itâs yours.â
Leonardâs eyes lit up.
If only this magical black ointment could be massâproduced.
âYou know how precious this black ointment is. Are you really giving it to me?â
âOf course, I know, but there is no formula, and it canât be massâproduced. Otherwise, my grandpa would have sold it a long time ago. Carry it with you. You can use it if you are hit by Elmore and the others.â
Leonard was speechless.
Gina was inconsiderate.
âI see. Iâll accept it. If I make money with it, Iâll give you thirty percent no matter how much I earn.
âI will also get rid of Elmore for you.â
âLeonard, I appreciate your kindness, but the background of Elmore and the others is really not simpleâ¦â
Gina wanted to say more but was interrupted by Leonard.
âYou can only choose to believe me.
âAs long as you still have to go to school, itâs hard for you to avoid them.â
Gina fell silent.
She knew what Leonard said was true.
Elmore and the others were so powerful. She couldnât resist or hide at all.
âAlright, I will wait for you at the school gate on Monday afternoon.â
Leonard put the box containing the black ointment away and turned to leave directly.
âWait.â
Gina suddenly called out to him.
âWhat else?â
Leonard turned around curiously.
âIs my grandpa doing okay?â
Gina asked anxiously.
âHeâs doing fine. You donât have to worry about him.â
As Leonard disappeared, Gina suddenly started sobbing.
She really couldnât hold on anymore.
Leonard went downstairs and rode his bicycle out of the old neighborhood.
Gina said that there wasnât a formula and that the black ointment couldnât be massâproduced, but Leonard remembered a person.
He believed that this person could solve this problem.
