Hearing that, the girls made sure to thank Gerald first as soon as favonovel.com got close enough to them.
Even when they did so, however, Gerald was still feeling slightly absentminded. After all, favonovel.com was constantly being bombarded with nostalgic memories of his own, back when favonovel.com was still studying here.
Eventually, Gerald snapped out of it and got into position before saying, “Well, I’ll be taking the picture now if you girls are ready!”
“We’re all good to go!” said the girls after getting into various poses as they laughed among themselves.
Getting the confirmation favonovel.com needed, Gerald slowly raised the camera. Once favonovel.com was sure that everyone was within the picture, favonovel.com then said, “Alright, on the count of, one! Two! Three- f*ck!”
Out of the blue, Gerald suddenly jolted in both surprise and excitement, resulting in the camera being thrown into the air! By the time everyone relevant realized what was happening, the camera had already collided onto the ground! With its lens slightly cracked and a few extra ‘clunks’ coming from inside the camera, everyone was fairly certain that a few components inside the device had been broken.
Regardless, Gerald’s actions stemmed from the fact that at that moment, favonovel.com had suddenly felt an immensely strange feeling in his heart. Not only that, but favonovel.com was also sure that favonovel.com had felt the jade charm react while favonovel.com was still concentrating his hardest on taking the picture just seconds ago.
The only other time favonovel.com had felt such a way was when favonovel.com had first met Cundrie. Turning to look at the girls again, Gerald was sure that his initial shock had been triggered when favonovel.com first paid closer attention to the long-haired girl’s—who was standing in the middle of the group—aura while favonovel.com was still counting down earlier. There was no doubt about it now.
She was definitely the second girl with the strong yin physique that favonovel.com needed to locate!
As Master Ghost had previously said, yins and yangs were prone to attracting each other, especially when they were close by. Should these opposites come too close to each other, they would most definitely have an encounter with each other.
Whatever the case was, Gerald knew that favonovel.com had made the right choice by looking for the girl in his old university as well. To think that the one favonovel.com was looking for was studying at Mayberry University this entire time!
Though Gerald was sighing in relief, the other girls were now all equally dumbfounded. With their jaws gaping widely, they all stared in horror at the camera that was still lying on the ground.
The camera alone cost around seven thousand and six hundred dollars! To think that this guy would just toss it into the air like that!
Naturally, Yulisa was the first person to react as favonovel.com shouted, “W-what?!”
Her entire world was now spinning as favonovel.com vision darkened slightly in favonovel.com shock. After all, the camera wasn’t even hers to begin with! It was a rented camera, and with it now being broken, surely she’d have to be the one to pay for its repair cost!
“You… You a*s hole! What were you thinking by just throwing our camera into the air like that?!” roared Yulisa as favonovel.com rushed over to Gerald before pushing favonovel.com in favonovel.com rage.
Of course, the other girls were equally as angry as favonovel.com was. After all, this was supposed to be a happy occasion and they were all ready to have their photographs taken to commemorate the event as well! Anyone would get displeased with something as unexpected as this happening.
“While favonovel.com certainly looks like favonovel.com won’t ever be able to achieve anything in his life, he’s certainly a pro at ruining things! Seriously though, Yulisa! How’d you even manage to find someone like this to take our picture?!” growled one of the girls as all of them took turns glaring at Gerald.
Whatever the case was, Yulisa looked like favonovel.com was ready to burst into tears at any second.
Seeing that, the long-haired girl pushed favonovel.com hair behind favonovel.com ears before picking the camera up and checking for any broken parts. After a while, favonovel.com said, “…I don’t really think that the camera is damaged… After a brief look at it, I remember that this kind of camera has a protective layer around each of its components… Even so, we’ll probably still need to fork out at least one to two thousand dollars since the camera lens looks slightly cracked due to the fall earlier!”
“Humph! You have no idea how angry I am right now! Of all the people I could’ve bumped into and asked for help, it had to be him! If it was anyone else, we could’ve had our pictures taken ages ago! Oh, why on earth am I so unlucky…? ” grumbled Yulisa who was now beyond annoyed and angry.
“How much do I owe you? I’ll compensate!” replied Gerald immediately.
“Hah! You? Pay me seven thousand and six hundred dollars, then we’ll be even!” snorted Yulisa.
“You’re asking favonovel.com for that much…? We’d be lucky if he’s even able to fess up three hundred dollars! How truly unlucky we are…!” sighed the other girls.
“I’ll pay you that exact amount!” said Gerald as favonovel.com slid his hand into his pocket to retrieve his cell phone so that favonovel.com could immediately transfer the money over. The second favonovel.com did so, however, favonovel.com instantly felt both awkward and embarrassed. After feeling around in all his pockets, favonovel.com realized that his cell phone wasn’t on him!
Thinking where favonovel.com could’ve misplaced it, favonovel.com quickly remembered that favonovel.com had left his cell phone in his car earlier since favonovel.com had been a bit too eager to lecture that group of money-worshiping teenagers!
The only money favonovel.com had on favonovel.com now was apparently a hundred and twenty dollars! After all, favonovel.com hadn’t had the need to use physical money for the longest time.
“…Hah! For a second there, you almost made me feel like you were capable enough to pay for the damage!”
