Chapter 1670 Jealousy
Both of them sipped on their drinks while chatting. When Cindy casually glanced at their surroundings, she noticed
the girl glaring at her from afar. The girl was clutching a drink in her hand as she stared straight at Cindy, not
bothering to conceal her hatred toward Cindy.
After a moment of hesitation, Cindy turned to look at Peter. “The girl who handed you a drink earlier… Is she your
girlfriend?”
“No, no!” Peter froze for a moment before he clarified the situation. “That’s one of the members of the club. I
taught her how to play badminton in the past. She’s a pretty fast learner.”
Cindy nodded. “She’s really cute too.”
“Really? I didn’t notice,” Peter replied with a laugh.
What does he mean by that? The girl’s face is probably the first thing he saw when he first met her, Cindy thought.
Peter tilted his head back and finished his drink before turning around to throw his empty bottle into the trash can.

has a lot of admirers.”
Peter raised an eyebrow at this point. “Maybe,” he mumbled. He had made things clear through his expression and
tone of voice—he wasn’t interested in the topic at all. I don’t know if he’s genuinely a simple-minded guy or if he
just processes things in a really slow manner. That girl made her intentions clear. Any regular guy would have been
able to tell that she likes him! Cindy thought.
Once both of them finished their drinks, they headed back to the spot where they had been playing badminton.
Cindy was a slow learner, and she was aware of how horrible her skills were. She tripped on her own feet every two
seconds. Fortunately, Peter was patient with her—he served in a gentle manner to make things easier for her. After
playing for a while more, Cindy’s phone began vibrating in her pocket.
She held an arm up to tell Peter to stop before she fished her phone out. It was a call from Aurora. Cindy turned
around to pick up the call. Before she said anything, her gaze landed on the girl from earlier. The girl had gone over
to the bench and picked up Cindy’s bottle before throwing it into the trash can.
Cindy wasn’t mad at the girl—she simply found the girl’s actions rather amusing. This feels like the sort of thing that
an immature high-schooler would do. It’s pretty embarrassing for a full-grown lady like her to do such a thing.
Aurora didn’t know what was happening on the other end of the line, so she simply cleared her throat to speak
after Cindy picked the call up. “We’re out now, Cindy. Are you awake? Do you want anything to eat? I can buy you
some food.”
“It’s fine,” Cindy replied as she continued staring at the girl in front of her. The girl turned around after throwing the
bottle away, and she realized that Cindy had witnessed her actions. With her body stiffened, the girl quickly turned
her back against Cindy, as if she felt guilty for what she had done.
Eventually, Cindy looked away to focus on her call with Aurora. “I’m not home now, and I don’t really feel like eating
anything in particular. You don’t have to buy me food.”
“Are you not home? Did you go out? Where are you now?” Aurora sounded rather surprised to hear this.
Cindy turned to gaze at Peter. “I went out to play badminton.” That was all Cindy needed to say for Aurora to know
where Cindy was and who she was with. After a few seconds of silence, Aurora ended their conversation. “Alright.

Once the call ended, Cindy placed her phone back into her pocket before she glanced at the girl for a while more.
The girl had found herself a hiding spot in the crowd. She probably feels too guilty or self-conscious to appear in
front of me now, Cindy decided.
Peter had been waiting for Cindy for a while, so he walked over to check on her. “What is it? What are you looking
at?”
Cindy chuckled. “It’s nothing. I just thought that those guys there seemed pretty lively and energetic.”
Peter sneaked a look at where Cindy was looking before he responded to her. “Us humans should have a hint of
liveliness in us all the time.” Cindy didn’t reply to him.
Meanwhile, Aurora ended the call and stared at Ian. She let out a sigh without saying anything for a while. “What’s
that look on your face?” Ian was puzzled. “What’s going on? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Aurora puckered her lips. “Oh, it’s nothing huge. Cindy’s out to play badminton. On second thought, I guess that’s
good news. She has always been such a reserved girl, so we should be glad that she’s willing to socialize with other
people now.”
