"What?" Beryl was taken aback.
Post it online?
Was he really about to upload their joint photo onto the internet?
As she was pondering this, Marcellus had already finished all the procedures at lightning speed. He opened his social circle on his phone, where the first post shown was made a minute ago, by him.
It was the picture of their intertwined hands, with only a red heart as its caption.
Without restricting the visibility to anyone, he had truly posted it, everyone could see it. Within that minute, Beryl had already seen countless exclamation marks in the comments section.
'Whoa, you've done well, quietly making big moves.'
'So, the one who always despised romance has gone public now?'
'I feel betrayed by your sudden relationship status change...'
Looking at these comments filled with teasing blessings, Beryl felt somewhat dazed, "You... you really posted it, aren't you afraid of what people might say?"
Normally Marcellus appeared quite unruly, but his social updates were rare. When she had asked him why before, he said he didn't want to expose too much of his private life and didn't have the spare time to do so.
Considering his busy life, it did make sense that he wouldn't have the mind to post much.
But what she hadn't expected was that he was actually willing to let everyone know about their relationship on the first day of its confirmation, which, to some extent, gave her a stronger sense of security.
Marcellus, on the other hand, saw nothing inappropriate about it. He was gleefully looking at the various exclamations in the comments, shaking his head while reading, "These single dogs must be green with envy..."
Feeling relaxed, the exhaustion of the day rushed over her, and Beryl struggled to keep her eyes open. Marcellus noticed and asked softly, "Are you tired?"
"Yes, a little bit."
"Alright, I'll go next door. Call me if you need anything during the night." He finished speaking, leaned down, and gave her a soft kiss on the forehead, "Since you've been heartless more than once or twice, I wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable."
Beryl looked at him with flushed cheeks, "Who's heartless now..."
"You're clearly under the same roof, yet you let your boyfriend sleep in the next room. Isn't that heartless?" Marcellus raised an eyebrow, a face of grievance, "But it's okay, sooner or later you'll have to pay it back double."
He intentionally emphasized the last few words, as if fearing that she might not catch the hint.
