Wang Jian Manages To Conquer Bella

The aftermath of the terrorist attack left the entire campus in a state of shock. For days, students and faculty alike could barely talk about anything else, the incident spreading like wildfire across news outlets. Wang Jian's name became synonymous with heroism, his face featured on every campus newsletter, and his bravery hailed by all.

 

But what was more important than the public praise was the change in Bella. Gone was the reserved, elusive woman who had kept her distance. Ever since that fateful day, Bella had started seeking out Wang Jian at every opportunity. It wasn't overt at first; she would appear beside him during breaks, ask him to join her for coffee between classes, or even suggest a walk around the campus gardens after hours. They never spoke about the attack. Somehow, it had become an unspoken rule between them, almost as if addressing it would break the spell that had been cast over their relationship.
