Get him!

Martin had been sending Emily to the dormitory downstairs, after Martin's company and comfort, Emily's mood was much better, she also knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, she just didn't know that the news came so suddenly. She was disappointed in her father, from the time her mother told her about their divorce until now, her father had not made a single phone call to her.Emily sneered even as she thought about it, 'In this world, even parents are not trustworthy, you can only fight for what you want on your own.'

'Emily, you're back, where have you been?' Emily went back to the dormitory and Isabella asked her with concern.

'Went to a restaurant with Martin again.' Emily laughed it off and didn't say much. She did her best to act normal, and neither Isabella nor Rue could see anything unusual about her.

Sarah was out on the balcony blowing in the wind and Emily walked over to stand with her.

'Hans is in love.' Sarah said in a flat tone, with a slight smirk at the corner of her mouth.

'How do you know?' Expectedly, Emily asked her.

'He posted a picture of the two of them on ins now, it's a dance student, she's pretty.' Sarah burst out laughing.

"What's in that? Do you really think Hans is serious? What true love could there be in such a short period of time, didn't you say that the most important thing is that two people love each other?" Emily said.

Sarah sneered, 'But there's nothing to say now.'

'Sarah, will you support me in any decision I make?' Emily stared into Sarah's eyes seriously and gravely.

"Of course. You ...' Sarah answered without hesitation, but still a little puzzled.

'I ah, I want to be with Martin.' Emily gazed off into the distance again, looking at the starry lights of the skyscrapers in the distance.

'So, you're taking off?' Sarah thought it had only been one night of alone time and they were going to be together.

'No, I mean, I'm going to cheat on him, I'm going to make him like me.' Emily said.

'Huh?' Sarah frowned, she still didn't understand what Emily meant.

Emily didn't want Isabella and Rue to hear as she whispered in Sarah's ear, 'I said, I'm going to take Martin, take him and I won't have to worry about anything for the rest of my life. It doesn't matter if I like him or not, what matters is that he falls in love with me."

Sarah heard Emily said, her heart is still shocked, usually simple to be treated as a sister, Emily would actually have such a mind. both Emily and Martin are her very good friends, she wondered, is it right or wrong for Emily to do this? Approaching him because of money and making him fall in love with her.Sarah didn't even know what to say for a while.

"I also know that what I did was wrong. But I can't help it, I want to find an umbrella for myself." Emily paused and added, 'Don't worry, Martin is our friend, I won't hurt him.'

Sarah sensed something was wrong with her mood and forcefully turned Emily's body to face her, and sure enough, Emily's eyes were red, and in the next second, big tears came to her eyes, 'Sarah, my parents are divorced, and my mum said for me not to try to run away.' Sarah couldn't hold it in either, she was taller than Emily, she wrapped Emily in her arms and wept along with her, 'It's okay, we're so good Emily, we'll make lots and lots of money later on and then we'll run away from them forever.' Just like the first time she was angry, Emily comforted her.

Originally Emily didn't want to tell Sarah about her parents' divorce, but she couldn't even pretend in front of Sarah, they say that friends are the family they handpicked, so in this moment, Emily chose to trust her unconditionally when she told Sarah her own secret.

After that day, the four of them never got together again, either because Hans fell in love or because Martin didn't know how to deal with Emily, but Martin didn't want to ruin their friendship just because of those things.

One day, Martin received a phone call from Emily: 'Martin, I found a kitten under our dormitory.' Martin's voice came softly from the other end of the phone, 'Okay, I'll be right there.'

The four of them basically don't get together these days, but Emily decides to ask Martin to meet up because Emily wants to rip him off.

After Martin arrived at the dormitory floor, he saw Emily squatting next to the flower bed, there was a skinny kitten there, it had just rained and the kitten was shivering, Martin felt that the person next to him was shivering as well, her somewhat pale face was a large reddish blush, Martin assumed that she had frostbite.

'Why are you wearing so little?' Martin immediately took off his own jacket and put it on Emily.Emily was secretly happy that it was on purpose.

'I was in a hurry to get downstairs and forgot.' Emily wrapped his jacket tightly around her as she was indeed cold.

'It's so sad about this kitten, it's still so small, what's she going to do, Martin?' said Emily, looking at Martin with an innocent face, her dark eyes watery, but Martin noticed that she seemed to be dressed up today, her eyes were delicately made up, and her body was covered in a nice little dress. Martin blamed himself again, what kind of a juncture is this and still caring about it?

'Erm...I, let's go...go buy it a home?' Martin suddenly stammered, he didn't know what was wrong with him today.

Emily smiled lightly, Martin must have taken the bait, it seemed she had some poise after all.

The two of them went to the pet shop outside the school, ready to buy a litter box for the kitten, and a little bit of cat strips and so on.

Emily wore a skirt a little short, above the knee, walking on the road, she could not help but close to Martin, physical contact can increase the ambiguity of the atmosphere. martin felt her close, but Martin guessed 'her skirt is so short, is it too cold?' The two walk in silence for a while before Martin finally speaks, 'Lately, you...you need to stop wearing such short skirts...oh, I mean...it's been the rainy season lately, it can be a bit cold.'

Emily nodded good-naturedly, 'Okay, I'll do as you say.' She smiles sweetly at Martin.

Martin's heart is really pounding, he also feels that the two of them seem to be a little bit ambiguous, did she just say 'she will listen to him'?

After settling the kitten, Emily said goodbye to Martin.'I'll put your clothes on, I'm really kind of cold.' Emily said.

'Okay, just don't get cold...just don't get cold.' Martin waved at her to say goodbye.

Emily turned to leave, Martin thought of something and called her back, 'Emily! By the way, our basketball club has a reunion during the weekend, we can invite...friends, why don't you ask Sarah to come with you, Hans will be there too.''Sure, I'll ask her to come on the weekend.'Emily smiled and turned to go into the dormitory.As she went up the stairs, Emily was about to scream out in excitement, I didn't expect it, it went so well.Martin really hasn't been in a relationship, has he, just one afternoon alone, and Emily feels like she's winning.

Martin also returned to the dormitory."Hey, why is your face so red?And where's your jacket?" Hans stared at Martin suspiciously.

'What do you care.' Martin hit him.

'Yo, it's the first time the young master has been so grumpy.' Hans got more and more curious.

'Remember to go to the reunion on the weekend, I'm meeting Emily and Sarah.'"No, isn't this the basketball club building?What's the point of asking them both?"Hans was a little disgruntled.

'I thought we said we could ask other friends, besides, how long has it been since the four of us got together?' Martin looked at him with a command in his gaze.

'Then why didn't you say so earlier, I've asked Jenny out.' Hans said.

Jenny was Hans' current girlfriend, good looking and in great shape.

'So what's wrong with asking your girlfriend out so Emily and Sarah can meet?' Martin said.

Hans couldn't tell, it was like he didn't want Emily and Sarah to know about his girlfriend, and he didn't actually like Jenny, he just felt honoured to have a girl like Jenny around.

On Emily's side of the dorm, Isabella and Rue were screaming, 'Ahhhhhhh! Whose clothes do you think these are? Young Master's?"

Emily nodded arrogantly, 'Yes.'

'I'll go, the young master doesn't like you, right?!' Isabella said excitedly. 'Oops, we're just good friends.' Emily pretended to be modest.

"So smooth? Looks like someone's going to be the daughter-in-law of a powerful family."Sarah got out of bed and smiled badly at Emily.The four of them bickered for a few minutes before quieting down again.

Emily sat in her seat, quietly reflecting on the events of the day, she felt happy, as if Martin was close by, and that she would soon have him and be his girlfriend.However, she also felt sad that she didn't actually like him, just so she could have his shelter.Thinking about it, she still decided to hold on to Martin, in her life, how many people like Martin can she meet? In the future, with Martin, she would never have to worry about money.She mocked herself for being vain, but was more afraid of becoming like her parents.When Sarah learnt that Emily had agreed to Martin's invitation over the weekend, she sternly refused, 'I'm not going... to see Hans and his girlfriend in the thick of it?I'm not going."

"Geez, sis, even if her girlfriend goes, so what? With your beauty, you can crush his girlfriend by several levels."All three people persuaded her, she finally agreed, in fact, Sarah herself wanted to go and see what the girl Hans liked would be like.If Emily was a youthful and invincible beauty girl, Sarah was a powerful and sexy beauty.The two went to the basketball club build together, Emily dressed as a proper sweet girl and Sarah in the battle dress Emily had picked out for her - a black wrap-around dress.

'I'm going to scream for you.' Emily said to her and Sarah smiled condescendingly.

Arriving at the KTV booth, which was filled with basketball club members and their girlfriends, everyone inside turned their attention to the two of them.

'So pretty...' the voices rose in the noisy room.

'They're all complimenting us.' Sarah smiled smugly.

Martin blushed again, seeing how brightly Emily was dressed today, he was glad it was in a KTV and he couldn't see his blush. He immediately beckons Emily and Sarah to come over here.

Hans made room for Sarah, who didn't want to sit, but Emily forced her to do so, and the four of them sat next to each other.

Emily wanted to give them some space and pulled Martin along.

'Martin, why don't you introduce me to your team members.' Emily said.

'Oh, well...yeah.' Martin unconsciously stuttered again.

The two of them were left in the same place, Hans was sitting on the sofa, drinking beer and looking at his mobile phone, Sarah was the first to speak, 'Where's that little girlfriend of yours?'

Hans replied nonchalantly, 'I broke up, she's not my girlfriend anymore.' He answered without a care in the world.

'You've only been together for how long?' Sarah was surprised, was it true that he didn't really love the girl as Emily had said.

'I never even liked her.' Hans replied.

Sarah thought it was funny, 'Don't you think you sound like a scumbag saying that?'

'I'm sorry Sarah, but I really didn't like her, it was just for fun.'

Sarah listened and didn't say anything else, she didn't know what was going on in her heart. She should be happy to hear that he broke up, but she felt that the current Hans was also annoying, he wasn't serious about his feelings, so even if they got together one day in the future, would he still genuinely like himself?

Both of them didn't say anything more and sipped their glasses of wine silently.

On the other side Martin and Emily were surrounded by their basketball club members.

'Martin, is this your girlfriend?' One of the players boldly opened his mic in front of everyone.

Everyone screamed and cooed, others clapped, this was the effect Emily wanted, she just smiled and didn't say anything as she waited for Martin's response.

'Okay, okay, stop it, you're making people embarrassed.' Martin himself was quite embarrassed, he put his hand on his neck and looked at Emily who was smiling beside him, at that moment, a thought really flashed through his mind 'What if Emily is really my girlfriend?'

After a few songs, everyone played Truth or Dare. It was just a way to warm up the relationship for everyone in the room. emily was rather hoping that it would be her and Martin's turn.'Choose a member of the opposite sex and touch noses with TA for 10 seconds.'

'Choose a member of the opposite sex in the neighbouring seat and pick the TA up in a horizontal hug.'Hans took a look at these and laughed and said aloud, 'Which one of you prepared these, they're so powerful.'

Everyone laughed at his words. Everyone was quite looking forward to this in their hearts, after all, at this party, the relationship between two people of the opposite sex was definitely more than just ordinary friends.

One of the team members spun the roulette wheel and the needle pointed to Emily, who mentally clapped her hands, 'What a help.'

'What I drew was to choose a member of the opposite sex, put lipstick on him and take a picture with him.' Emily read out the card she had drawn, applying lipstick to the opposite sex, lipstick that she usually applied herself, but had to apply it to a member of the opposite sex, the ambiguity was just pulling out all the stops.Emily looks to Martin beside her, looks him in the eye and says to him, 'Help me.'

Martin nodded furtively and Emily took out her own lipstick and moved closer to Martin's face to apply it to him, so close that both Emily and Martin could hear the heartbeats of the batch.'Wow!'People around them were up in arms, taking pictures of the two of them with their mobile phones.

Emily was snickering even after she applied it, and Martin's mouth was pink and looked a little funny, like a little schoolgirl.Martin scratched his head in embarrassment.'Look at my camera.'Sarah said to them both.'Yay!'Emily grinned and gave a yay to the camera, while Martin looked at the camera in a bit of a panic.Sarah took their first Polaroid, which was still kept by Emily until now.

A hubbub passed and this time it actually pointed to Sarah.'You both have such smelly hands.'Hans chimed in.'Choose a member of the opposite sex in the neighbouring seat and pick the TA up in a horizontal hug.' Sarah read.

'How can Sarah pick up boys, change it.' Emily relieved her and everyone was a little shaken up.

'No need to switch, I'll hold her.' Hans got up from his seat, 'I'll hold her for ten deep squats all right?'

Sarah's eyes widened involuntarily, what was Hans talking about? She didn't react before Hans picked her up in a princess hug, she wrapped her arms around his neck as she pretended to hit him, 'You can watch out for me.'

Hans grinned, 'Got it, you're so light, there's no way you're going to fall off.'

Sarah looked at him as the crowd cheered, as if no matter what he did, this moment was enough for her to forgive him for all of it.

The party ended in laughter and when they got back to the dorms, Sarah and Emily spoke to Emily about Hans.

"Ah? Isn't that a proper scumbag? How could he be like that!" Emily was furious when she heard Sarah's words.

'So I'm thinking, even if he does want to be with me in the future, I'm not sure if he really loves me or if he'll just dump me after a few days of novelty.' Sarah rested her cheeks.

'Even though I know he's just playing around, this is too soon, Hans is a scumbag!' Emily shouted from the bed.

Isabella and Rue, who were out of bed, both looked at her and Isabella muttered, 'Leave her alone, somehow.'
