Raise Love-13-Why are you still blushing

He had one hand in his pocket, and the other hand loosely held his mobile phone, casually spinning it around. There was no expression on his face, but it could be seen that he was in a very leisurely state at the moment.

Aria withdrew her gaze and lowered her eyes.

This scene was very much like before. Ryder had also followed her like this.

Her nose felt sour.

A whole year had passed.

She had thought about and dreamed of such a scene countless times. In fact, she hadn't dared to hope that it would come true. She had tried so hard to get into Harvard University just to see him.

She had liked him for too long. It was so long that she couldn't even imagine the possibility of never seeing him again in the future. She was really scared.

There was always an empty feeling in her heart.

"Watch out for the cars."

Suddenly, her arm was pulled. At the same time, the boy's low voice rang in her ear. Before Aria could react, her body had already been staggeringly pulled to the other side of the street.

At the same time, several boys who looked about fifteen or sixteen suddenly rushed out from the corner on their bikes without slowing down at all. If Ryder hadn't been quick enough, she might have been knocked down on the side of the curb by now. m.gΟиЪ.ōΓＧ

If she had really been scratched and fallen, she would definitely have been bleeding.

Aria's heart started beating faster belatedly.

Ryder looked at her, "What are you in a daze for? Don't you know to dodge when cars are coming?"

His tone wasn't nice.

His eyes also became sharp.

Seeing that she had steadied herself, he let go of her arm. He looked her up and down and, seeing that she was okay, returned to his lazy look, "You walk on the inside."

"Oh, thank you." Aria said.

This accident unexpectedly and strangely opened up a conversation topic.

After walking for a while, Ryder suddenly spoke casually, his tone faint: "Why did you repeat a grade? Didn't you do well in the college entrance examination?"

Aria tilted her head.

His side face looked a bit blurry under the dim streetlight in the night, but it didn't detract from his handsomeness at all. Instead, it added a touch of mystery to his somewhat ruffian-like demeanor.

After a few seconds of silence, she smiled and said softly, her voice very low: "Well, I didn't do well. I had fallen behind too much before and couldn't make up for it."

A few months' time wasn't enough for her to get into Harvard University.

But the person she liked was really outstanding, with such high scores. She had to keep moving forward without stopping to be able to breathe the same air as him.

"Didn't expect that." Ryder turned his head, looked down at her, and chuckled.

Aria: "What?"

"You're quite impressive." People who had the courage to repeat a grade were all very impressive.

Especially for a good girl like her.

Ryder had always thought that she was very timid.

During the period close to the college entrance examination, he had heard Maya Brooks complain a lot. Aria's grades were okay in the regular class, but compared to their experimental class, they were not ideal. The two of them couldn't go to the same school.

It seemed that the gap was quite big.

"Really?" Aria blinked. With the cover of the night, she relaxed and smiled, "I was quite lucky. This year's exam questions were simpler than last year's."

Perhaps God had seen that she hadn't given up after all these years and had softened his heart and kindly given her a helping hand.

Liking him had made her outstanding.

Even if she had a secret crush on him all her life and this relationship came to nothing, she hadn't gained nothing. At least she had reached a higher level because of it and come to Harvard University.

Wasn't it so?

It was because of him that she had stepped into a broader world.

Ryder.

Look, you're really amazing.

"Yeah." Ryder looked down at her. Somehow, something had struck a chord with him, and a laugh escaped from his throat, "You're quite modest too."

Aria: "..."

His laughter was low, like a breathy sound.

It got into Aria's ears, and she blushed uncontrollably again.

When talking to someone like him, if you didn't have enough confidence and capital to be proud of yourself, it was really easy to feel inferior and be led by him.

She had completely lost her ability to react now.

They walked under the shade of the trees and passed right under a streetlight. The sight suddenly became brighter. With this brightness, Ryder immediately and keenlynoticed something.

He seemed to have sensed something particularly interesting.

Before Aria could react, he leaned sideways towards her, looked at her carefully, and let out a soft "Ah".

"Your face is red."

Aria bit her lip, turned her head away, and covered the side of her face exposed to him with her hand, conveying a sense of resistance—

Don't look at me.

"Why is your face still red?" Ryder chuckled, raised his eyebrows, and slowly said in a slightly mocking tone, "Did I hit the nail on the head?"

Aria: "No."

She said in a muffled voice, "Ryder, stop talking."

Ryder nodded and said again, "Oh. So you know my name. I thought that after I sent you home so many times and you ignored me every time, you didn't even know who I was."

He pronounced each word clearly, lengthened the ending tone, and the atmosphere became strangely sticky.

It was as if she were a heartless woman.

And he was the one whose infatuation had been wrongly placed. No matter how cold the other person's attitude was, he wouldn't have any complaints, being humble and forbearing just to send her home...

What the hell?

Aria: "..."

Ryder: "On purpose?"

Aria: "......"

She was a bit flustered and teased by him: "No, it's not. Can you please stop talking."

Ahhh.

In her impression, although Ryder was a bit of a rogue and always had a bad-boy look, he was really distant and cold to people he wasn't familiar with.

But why was he talking so much today!!

Ryder had his hands in his pockets and looked at her leisurely. The girl's fair and tender cheeks were completely flushed now. Her fair and translucent skin was dyed red, like a delicious red apple.

It had a faint luster.

She was so at a loss, and it was rather cute.

Perhaps finally realizing that the girl was really embarrassed and her face was almost burning with blushing, and his bit of mischievousness was satisfied, he lowered his eyelids, rubbed his fingers in his pocket, and finally was merciful enough to shut up.

Aria saw that he was quiet, tightened her lips, and quickly took a glance at him.

Ryder raised his eyebrows.

She met his teasing eyes. The man's dark eyes were lazy, and the slight naughtiness at the bottom of his eyes hadn't completely faded away yet.

The words 'on purpose' were almost written on his face.

Aria glared at him and quickly withdrew her gaze, secretly thinking that she couldn't talk to him again tonight, or she would lose face again.

Until they walked into the gate of Harvard University, the two of them didn't have any more exchanges. Aria was one step ahead, with her back to Ryder, and she raised her hand to gently pat her cheeks.

...The heat that had risen finally subsided.

Harvard University was very lively at night. But at this time, in the early morning, there were hardly any people. The classmates who had been taking a walk or doing sports outside had already gone back, and the campus became quiet.

Today was different.

The orientation was still one day away from being over. From the school gate all the way to the Hope Monument was the dividing point between the streets, teaching buildings, dormitory buildings, and family buildings. On the right was a food court.

The orientation tents set up on both sides of this street hadn't been taken down yet, and volunteers were taking turns on duty. They were responsible for leading the students who came to register at night to submit their files and find their dormitory locations.

Most of the volunteers were members of the Student Union. Ryder was already eye-catching, and with his position as the president,
