Nathan Wells said helplessly, "Since things have come to this, you should avoid them as much as possible in the future. It's best not to get involved with those nobles again."
Eli nodded. "Indeed."
The nobles he had encountered so far were either scum like Curtis or people like Adrian and Ethan Vale, whose motives were completely unfathomable.
Adrian had probably agreed to the bet on a whim, but why had Ethan helped him?
It couldn't really be out of kindness or goodwill toward a classmate, could it?
The student council president was being far too considerate.
Eli was genuinely grateful for Ethan's help.
But one thing at a time. He had no intention of getting involved in whatever complicated relationship existed between the author and the BL novels.
So it was better to stay as far away as possible.

Owen Blake suggested that Eli stay overnight, just in case someone came looking for trouble again that night.
Eli refused.
