A Poor Youth's Journey to Success

A Poor Youth's Journey to Success
Chapter 11


Hearing that Eric was surprised and confused as to what to do. Eating at this restaurant is very expensive.


"Sister, can't wait a minute. My wallet was left at home, and I told someone to come and drop her off" Lyra said politely.


Hearing that, the staff nodded lightly.“ Fine, I'll wait here.”


Seeing Lyra who seems to have a look of restless face makes Eric can not stand it. Therefore, he wanted to help pay the cost of eating today. He did not mind paying her at all, as Eric felt quite happy eating together with a beautiful figure like Lyra.


Ma'am, here's the engine. Let me pay for it!" eric said standing up.


Hearing Eric say that, Lyra pulls on her clothes." Eric, don't do that. You're here I'm buying, so I'm the one who needs to pay the bills here."


"It's okay Miss Lyra, just think of it as a favor from me too. Are we both friends? Shouldn't a friend help each other?" eric said with a smile looking at Lyra.


Quickly, Eric swiped his card and inserted a pin. After that, the payment was confirmed. The staff then left immediately after receiving payment.


Lyra could only stare resignedly at Eric. "You don't have to worry, I'll transfer your money back" Lyra looked at Eric.


Eric waved his hand." No, I won't take the money back. Think of this as a friend's kindness."


Lyra hearing that could only sigh long." How about this. For today you treat me, and tomorrow we will eat together, I will treat you?"


Eric quickly nodded his head and hurriedly agreed to it." No problem, no problem."


After a short talk, the two of them finally decided to immediately go upgrade the restaurant.


"Do you want me to take you home?" fresh Lyra


Eric quickly waved his hand."Don't need Miss Lyra, I'd better take a cab."


Lyra nodded lightly hearing that." Then I go home first!"


Eric smiled and nodded in response.


The two of them immediately separated after a brief conversation in the parking lot.


As Eric and Lyra were talking briefly in the parking lot, suddenly someone secretly took a picture of the two of them talking.


After the man got a picture of Lyra with Eric, the man quickly spread the photo to all the university discussion groups.


Quickly, Lyra's dating photos spread in university discussion groups. Quickly, the incoming message on Lyra's phone asked her very much.


Everyone who saw the photo was shocked. It's the first time they've seen Lyra date a man. Could this man be Lyra's fiancee? Everyone kept wondering when they saw the photo.


Most of the Lyra fans at the University felt like it was crazy to see their adoration approached by other men.


At that time Lyra opened a university discussion group and how surprised he saw his picture and Eric was trending topics in the group.


Eric is also surprised to realize his picture and Lyra become the gossip material in the campus group. But everyone didn't know it was Eric. Who would have thought it was Eric.


Eric at the time in the photo was very different from usual. There is no sign of him in the photo.


When he was about to walk home, he saw a very pathetic looking grandfather leaning against a small walled alley.


Eric is the kind of person who likes to help people who are in trouble. He was very happy to help people whatever kind of help it was.


Then Eric approached the old man while greeting him immediately." Hi kek, is grandpa okay? Why is Grandpa sleeping near the road like this?"


The old man quickly turned his head then realized the presence of a young boy standing looking at him. I'm really hungry, I haven't eaten anything from yesterday! "


Hearing that, Eric was very concerned. With a slightly sad tone Eric calmed the old man down.“Wait a minute here if that's the case, I'll get some food for grandpa."


After saying that, Eric hurriedly headed for the nearest ATM then retrieved $300 from his bank account.


Eric quickly bought two rice packs and took them to the grandfather he had met before.


Eric sat down in front of the old man and handed him a pack of rice in his hand." Come on, grandfather, we'll eat together. I just happen to not eat."


Eric was still hungry even though he had just finished eating with Lyra. The food in the restaurant had not made the contents of his stomach full, because the food there was too little but too good. This is what makes Eric not full yet,


With a gentle smile, the grandfather took the rice wrap out of Eric's hand." Thank you." The old man looked at Eric meaningfully." What's your name if you can tell?"


While enjoying the food, Eric replies. "My name is Eric brown." Eric then looked back at the old man and asked back." What's grandpa's name?"


Instantly the old man was surprised to hear the name brown, he then smiled a cold grin styling Eric while introducing himself as well." Introduce my name Yuzly! "


Eric nodded lightly hearing that." Hurry grandfather, eat a lot."


Eric also enjoyed the meal because it tasted so good when hungry.


yuzly continued to look at Eric as he said." It turns out there are still young people like you who are kind. I'll return the favor to you if there's a chance."


"Ha ha ha, there's no need for grandfather to do that. I'm happy to meet Grandpa" Eric replied with a laugh.


Then Yuzly's grandfather asked Eric." Son, where do you live and who do you live with now?Is it with your family?"


Hearing the question, Eric's cheerful countenance now looked sad." I live alone. I no longer have any family with me. I live alone! " Eric said while forcing a smile.


The grandfather who heard that was surprised and a little happy, I don't know what the old man had in mind.
