Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Let’s be friends for a long time

After Penny’s speech, Lily took over to talk about the vision and mission of the fan club. Everything Lily said proved why she was worthy of their class’ presidential spot. Despite her age, she was able to host this big event and discuss some activities of the club in the following weeks. After all, the fan club had just started in the last semester. Hence, one of the activities was to group study as well.

It was great.

"This Lily sounds like a great person."

Penny snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Renren’s voice beside her. She turned to him and smiled even brighter.

"She is great, isn’t she?" she chuckled. "I think she’d be a great leader."

Renren nodded.

Currently, the two of them decided to take a walk instead of hiding behind the bushes. It was Penny’s idea, thinking a walk would be good for his health. As they walked, Penny couldn’t help but share what happened in school because he asked. However, they still had to carry their pets with Tiana on top of her head. Penny had to leave Mouse behind because it was too heavy.

"Lily..." Renren muttered, earning a hum from her. "What about you? What’s your name?"

Penny raised her brows and blinked at him. Slowly, her mouth fell open as her eyes dilated. She stopped walking.

"Are you okay?" he asked curiously. "Why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?"

"We’ve been meeting each other every week, but we still haven’t known each other’s name," she blurted out in disbelief. Where were her manners?

Renren smiled. "We always had a good time talking."

"Ahem!" Penny awkwardly stretched her hand while making sure she wasn’t making Blacky (Renren’s panther) uncomfortable. "Penny. That’s my name."

"Ren." Unlike her, who had a hard time extending an arm, Renren reached out and shook her hand. He kept Chunchun comfortable with the other. "Our names are almost the same, don’t they? Pen, Ren — Renny."

Her eyes twitched. "Eyy... haha! That’s so cheesy. We’re not making a love team here."

"I just thought maybe we’re meant to be friends."

"Haha." Penny and Renren resumed their steps. "Meant to be friends, huh?"

Penny hummed a long tune, thinking that she never met him in her previous life. But then again, Lily and Ginnie weren’t her friends in her first life. Neither her brothers nor the Bennet Family loved her. Most importantly, she didn’t have Chunchun, Tiana, and Mouse back then. Those three alone were enough to make her childhood a lot better.

Thinking about it, a gentle smile turned up on her naturally adorable face.

"You’re smiling like that again," Renren pointed out with a tilt of his head. "What is it this time?"

"My heart is full," she expressed as she glanced at him. "I’m happy!"

Renren couldn’t help but smile. It wasn’t him that was happy, but seeing her happy made him happy.

"My dad always tells me that if one does things with a clear conscience, it might be hard, but it will always result in good," he said. "You’re a good person, so the people will be good to you."

"Your dad sounds like a kind person."

"He was." His smile remained, but there was this sudden tinge of sorrow in his eyes.

"Renren, is everything okay?"

He glanced at her and nodded. "Yes."

"Why do you look so sad now?"

"Oh, sorry. I didn’t mean to ruin the mood."

This time, her lips curved down. "What kind of answer is that?"

"Hmm?"

"I’m asking because I’m curious... and a little worried too!" she explained as it seemed this was a new concept to him. "You’re weird — your size and your thinking. It’s weird." which piqued her intrigue.

Why was this kid like this?

After interacting with Renren for some time now, she noticed Renren had some strange perspectives on some things. It wasn’t just about his sickly appearance, but he intrigued her. Just what kind of environment does this guy have?

"..." Was he expecting God to apologize to him, then!?
