I tried to reason with him. "You told people that you didn't want to fall in love, so those girls gave up, but you..."
I thought for a while and continued, "You are very close to me and you said that we like each other. This way, they will misunderstand that I am your girlfriend. What you said before is all in vain. People who like you will have hope again."
Eric said, "I don't care what those people think. Besides...
"They know you are my girlfriend, but they still have hope. It proves that it is right for me to block them."
My heart beat faster uncontrollably. Eric said "You are my girlfriend" seriously, and his tone was so natural as if I were indeed his girlfriend.
I took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "That's true, but it will affect my chances of finding a boyfriend."
Eric paused suddenly. "You want to find a boyfriend?"
