The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 109

In a mountain villa in the Capital

Celia is currently resting in her room. Today was Saturday and he didn't need to go to campus, so he decided to relax today. But his phone rang nonstop in the morning.

Celia scrolls through her phone and realizes that the high school class group chat is discussing a former classmate. Celia lives in the Capital, but she attends a high school in a small area of Shu City.

He had been transferred to Shu City during his second year of high school. This was because her father had moved to Shu City back then, and her mother, a powerful female businessman, had always traveled abroad to work. As a result, he followed his father to Shu City.

But, a year later, his father had made a name for himself in Shu City and was transferred back to the Capital. Back then, he insisted that he wanted to stay in Shu City until he graduated. She tells him that she has grown up and has to study independently and that changing schools constantly is not beneficial to her studies.

Since then, seventeen-year-old Celia has been living alone in Shu City. She would go to school on her own, learn to wash her own clothes, make food, clean the house, and adapt to feelings of loneliness.

He did all this for one man. Someone who gives him a second chance at life. Regardless of the years that had passed, he could not forget the person who had been firmly planted in his heart. He will never forget that weekend when he just arrived in Shu City with his father.

It was a rainy day, and he was crossing the street when he slipped and fell in the middle of the road. At that moment, a truck lost control and speeded towards him. She was too frightened to move, but as she closed her eyes and accepted her destiny, she felt a warm embrace.

Instinctively, he hugged the person back with every ounce of energy he had. A huge collision sounded and he opened his eyes only to realize that it was a boy who was hugging him.

He looked at the side of his face to see that he was well-groomed and handsome. He realized that the boy had taken him to the side of the road while the truck was crashing into a building that was being built several tens of meters away from them.

He could only imagine what would happen to him if the boy did not save him. It was possible that he would be flattened by a truck and go to another world.

At that time, the boy was delivering fast food. To save him, the boy's bike was thrown to the side and more than a dozen fast food orders were wasted.

She wanted to compensate him, but the boy rejected her and said that others would do the same as he did. Yet there were so many people on the road and he was the only one willing to risk his life to save her.

The next day, he realizes that the boy is his classmate. He's very happy about this. From then on, he started to notice her. The boy probably never knew that there was a pair of eyes that were quietly paying attention to his every move in school.

The child is strong, motivated, optimistic. No matter how bad his family was, he never complained. Whenever he had time to spare, he would do part-time work to help reduce his family's financial burden.

He doesn't have much free time to study, but his grades are always good. Before he came to this school, this boy had always been the first. When he came to this school, there were times when he deliberately made some mistakes in his exams so that the boy could take first place again.

With this, they become good friends who value each other. Their value always alternated between first and second place. This was only possible because he had deliberately made a mistake.

A year later, his father left Shu City but he insisted on staying because he did not want to leave it so soon. Not long after his father left, the boy found a girlfriend. She is one of the prettiest girls in the class.

They fit in with each other, and classmates tease that they are a match made in heaven. He congratulated them, but once he returned home, he could not stop the tears from flowing down his face. He spent a long time crying under his blanket.

He had hated how cowardly and weak he was for not being able to be frank with the child. He hated himself for not expressing his feelings. Perhaps if he had made his intentions known earlier, he would have been the one standing by his side. He would be the one that his classmates would call a true couple.

He thought long and hard that night before finally understanding. He would be satisfied if the child could be truly happy. True love is not about ownership. He felt that his state of mind had improved at that moment.

Even so, he continued to pay attention to her. He was happy with the girl. The girl did not wish for the child to be a caring man who would do everything for the girl. But he would prepare breakfast in the morning, take lunch in the afternoon, drive her home after school.

This continues until graduation. After that, they entered South River University together. He was no longer simple in the exam this time. He was accepted at Greenwood University in his hometown in the capital as the top scorer in his class, county, city, and province.

He also became the first provincial top scorer in the history of Shu City High School and the first to be admitted to the number one university in the country.

Eventually they will be out of touch since entering university, and will only send each other messages of blessing during the holidays. He wanted to forget about it and move on with his life.

Three years had passed, yet the child was still hiding in the depths of his heart. That kid is David!

When Celia saw the topics and characters that were being discussed by her High School class group chat, she jumped out of bed, instantly waking up. That's because the student Sarah they discussed was David's girlfriend.

'How is it possible? Why did Sarah turn out like this? What about David? What the hell happened to him? What is he doing now?'

Having known David for two years, there was no way he would have done that. He is not the kind of man who changes in affection. He thinks maybe Sarah dumped David. However, he had been hiding in the group chat all along.

He knew that the conversation would turn to him if he said something. Therefore, he just watched the conversation in silence, expecting David to show up and finally say something. David did not say anything even though many classmates mentioned his name. He had even wondered if something had happened to David.

Celia stared at her phone all morning, afraid of losing David's answer. Just before noon, David finally spoke up in a group chat.

Celia was relieved to see David's explanation. Sure enough, it was quite close to what he speculated. Sarah has chosen a rich heir over David. She doesn't understand why Sarah did that when David was so kind to her.

'Is money really important? What if two people who love each other don't have money?

Can't they live happily ever after?’

Such things were definitely incomprehensible to a girl like her who had never been short of money since she was a child.

‘Wait a minute! Celia seemed to remember something! Sarah dumped David? So, David's still single right now? And he must be sad right now, right? Should I cheer him up?’

Celia sat on the bed, her beautiful face scowling, while a fierce quarrel occurred in her mind.

‘Should I send a message to David to comfort him? What if he thinks I like him? But I do like it! I must confess my feelings for her now! Or she'll finally get another boyfriend! Since I can't forget it, I should try to chase after him.'

After making up her mind, Celia pulled out her phone and sent David a message with trembling hands. However, he typed in and deleted that simple message. He deleted it and typed again. In the end, he had changed it over ten times before clenching his teeth and sending it to David. He just sent a few words.

Nick: David! How's it going?

After sending a message, Celia looked at her phone nervously. Her big, beautiful eyes were wide open until it hurt. Everyone can see how he feels.

Springfield, temporary office of East League International

David was sitting in the general manager's office as he chatted with everyone in the group chat. A text message appears on the phone screen.

Nick: David! How's it going?

David taps on a text message and learns it from his high school classmate, Celia. His mind flew back to that afternoon a few years ago. The girl he saved at the intersection of Shu City.

It was dangerous. A girl slipped in the middle of the road, and a heavy truck uncontrollably drove by. He works part-time as a delivery guy. Without thinking twice, he threw his bike to the side and ran carrying it to the side of the road. When he took the girl to the side of the road, the truck drove past them and immediately hit a building under construction not far from it.

If he hesitated for a moment, the girl would definitely get hit by a truck. The girl would almost certainly die if such a truck hit someone.

It was also raining, and there were construction sites around the intersection, which made the road slippery. If he also slipped in the process, both of them would be killed by the truck. Therefore, he was frightened even though he had saved the girl.

After saving the girl, she realizes that it is her new classmate, Celia. Due to the rescue, more than a dozen of his takeaways orders have been damaged. His boss even cut his salary by half a month.

She still remembered Celia's first day at school, and she immediately caused an uproar among almost all the boys at school. Almost everyone experiences love in high school. And Celia gets almost all the perfect goddess image for every boy in school.

Her white dress, blond hair, and perfect delicate features made her look as if she had just come out of a painting. David was impressed with her. But he didn't pay much attention to it.

During High School, she was busy every day, intent on making more money to ease the burden on Aunt Sally and Aunt Diana's family. Ever since he saved her, the two people had slowly become familiar with each other, eventually becoming close friends.

It was only after she got together with Sarah that she began to distance herself from Celia because Sarah was so jealous that she did not want David to get along with Celia. As a man, David could feel how Celia treated him differently. However, he did not dare to accept it. Celia was like a beautiful cloud on the horizon, visible but unreachable.

His parents died when he was young, and he was often mistreated by Uncle Bobby until he moved into Aunt Sally's house in high school. Therefore, he has low self-confidence.
