Chapter 2

He looked at me with a slightly cold gaze, and my sense of crisis instantly skyrocketed, afraid that he would see through my disguise.

I glanced evasively at the buzz-cut handsome guy next to him. The handsome guy swept his gaze over Lukas and me, grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth.

"So the young lady likes Mr. Hall's type? What a pity, he has a girlfriend. How about considering Quinn? He's also handsome and single!"

I looked at the handsome boy that he was hugging. The handsome boy smiled sweetly, and Emily gasped, her breathing heavy.

"..."

I pretended to be embarrassed and returned my gaze, remaining silent.

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and I hurriedly opened Line to reply to Lukas's message.

"I can't answer the phone right now. I've made plans with my parents to travel out of the province during the May Day holiday, so I don't have time to meet."

"How about the weekend? I miss you so much." Lukas replied.

"But I have club activities on the weekend, I really don't have time-Hug.jpg"

I was sleeping in on the weekend in my dormitory when the ringing of the phone woke me up from my dream.

"Hello-" I was very sleepy.

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, then his voice came through clear and gentle, "Still sleeping?"

Recognizing the familiar voice, I instantly woke up, "Mmm, the club activities are in the afternoon, I'm just about to get up!"

"I saw that the weather forecast for Eldridge City predicts heavy rain. I was worried that you didn't have an umbrella and was thinking of coming over to give you one." Lukas chuckled softly, "Who knew you were still lazing in bed."

I was so surprised that I almost jumped out of bed.

He wanted to go to Eldridge City to bring me an umbrella?

Was he crazy?!

I tried to joke calmly. "Has my boyfriend become a fairy? Can he cross the distance of two cities with a spell to bring me an umbrella?"

"Your boyfriend hasn't become a fairy, but he can buy a plane ticket to fly over and give you an umbrella. Do you want to see your beloved boyfriend?" Lukas teased with a laugh.

My head was about to explode!

'Don't think I can't hear your subtle probing, you just want to meet face to face, right?!'

'Please, can you stop thinking about meeting in person?'

'Isn't it nicer to just have a pure online relationship?!'

"I also want to see my beloved boyfriend, but I have activities in the afternoon, a dinner in the evening, and I'm busy all day tomorrow. I'm really busy." I deliberately softened my voice and acted cute.

Lukas fell silent, perhaps he was angry because I kept putting him off?

"Are you angry? I'm really busy recently. After I'm free, I'll apologize to you personally, okay?" I soothed.

"I'm not angry, I won't get angry with you." Lukas's tone was gentle.

I sneakily recorded his words.

If we break up in the future and he gets angry and tries to take revenge, I'll show him this.

It was raining heavily in Eldridge City, but it was clear sky in Celadorn Port.

Emily and I went to the snack street to find food and entered a hot pot shop.

Not long after we sat down, I received a Line message from Lukas.

[Did Aliya eat on time?]

[I've been good, I ate a big bowl. Cat asking for praise.jpg] I casually took a picture of the hot pot in front of me and sent it to him.

Just after sending the message, Emily next to me excitedly pulled my arm.

"Hey, we ran into the school hunk from Everwood University again, and there's the cute guy with the tiger teeth!"

The smile on my face froze, how come he arrived just after I sent the picture?!
