Raise Love-48-Ryder Suspected of Heartbreak, Mourning and Criticizing Salted Fish

Every time when she thought she could see him but didn't, she would feel as if she had lost something.

Fortunately, she was used to it. After being depressed for a while, she got up again. While listening to Ryan Bennett, who had taken on the role of class assistant, talk about the freshman social event tomorrow, she opened a certain novel app.

Her fair fingertips slid down and clicked into the bookshelf. She found a newly discovered novel from the app, switched her Facebook status to away, and then concentrated on reading the novel.

She quickly managed to shift her attention and threw the little disappointment of not seeing Ryder to the back of her mind.

The location of the freshman social event is at the planetarium. The venue will be set up in the morning, and the opening ceremony will officially start at 9:30. There will be a 2.5 - hour break at noon, and it will continue at 2 pm. After the social event is the reflection time, and in the evening, there will be entertainment for their own class.

Considering that their own class is rather boring, the class assistants discussed and finally decided, just like during military training, to have the event together with Class Three.

There are also some fragmentary small things in between, including collecting class fees. The class assistants are responsible for going out to buy snacks, fruits, and drinks, etc., checking the bills, and the remaining class fees.

The evening self - study passed halfway quickly.

The good thing is that they can have a lie - in the next day.

Recently, they have had to get up before six o'clock continuously. The fatigue has been gradually piling up, and they can't take it anymore. When it comes to this, everyone becomes happy and lively, and Aria also smiles along.

After smiling, she continues to look at her phone.

She is so focused on reading that she doesn't notice the glances that Ryan Bennett throws at her from time to time above the multimedia in the front.

Until Sydney pokes her.

"Hey, honey, does our drill instructor want to talk to you about something?"

Aria turns her head in confusion, "Huh?"

"He's been looking at you for a long time." Sydney glances upwards and says in a low voice. She whispers and complains, "I can't even concentrate on playing games. It's like being watched by the teacher."

Their evening self - study doesn't stipulate that they can't play with their phones, but they can't wear headphones.

Sydney is playing games with the microphone on. Although she's wearing Bluetooth headphones, being stared at like this makes her feel guilty.

"I don't think so?" Aria hesitates.

"How can't it be? If you don't believe me, look. He's looking at you again now!" Sydney props her ear with one hand to cover the headphone and says speechlessly.

"Although our drill instructor is quite good - looking and kind of gentle, this is a different matter. He should understand the principle that a friend's wife is off - limits, right?"

"..."

Aria's mouth twitches uncontrollably. She reaches out and pinches Sydney's face, "What are you talking about? Hmm?"

"Hehe." Sydney pouts and stops talking, then continues to indulge in the game.

Aria smiles helplessly, and then looks up.

Unexpectedly, Ryan Bennett is really looking in her direction.

She pauses, and her eyes stop. Seeing that she finally looks over, Ryan Bennett seems to heave a sigh of relief and waves his phone at her.

Huh?

Aria looks down at her phone.

The app she uses to read novels automatically turns on the do - not - disturb mode. Sometimes, when there are too many messages, they will be blocked and not pushed. Plus, when she reads novels, she is always overly concentrated, so it's normal for her not to receive messages.

In high school, once she was secretly reading "Aige" during an English class. She told her deskmate to keep an eye on the teacher and remind her when the teacher came over. As a result, her deskmate patted her three times.

Finally, her deskmate was almost in a hurry.

She was also almost anxious. Just as she was about to ask her deskmate "What's wrong?", she caught a glimpse of the head teacher stopping at the position diagonally behind her desk in the aisle.

She was so scared that she threw the novel under the desk with a snap.

Another time, it was during the evening class on the day they came back from vacation. Her deskmate bought "Huahuo". At that time, there were three desks in a row for them, and each person had one copy. The head teacher came down and stopped in front of the desk, and took the novel from her hand before she came to her senses.

Subconsciously, she looked at the deskmate sitting on the aisle side and saw that she also had a sad face. The other deskmate reacted quickly and put the book away in time. Otherwise, they might have all been caught.

After that, she and her deskmate were punished to stand for three days and listen to the class at the back of the classroom.

After class division in senior year, she gave up reading novels. She focused on studying at school, but unfortunately, she didn't get the score she wanted in the end. She realized it too late.

Aria exits the app. She only added Ryan Bennett on Instagram, so she directly clicks on Instagram and sends him a:?

Ryan Bennett replies to her immediately.

「Ryan」: Did you and Ryderoo have a fight?

「Aria Winslow」:?

Aria blinks. What fight?

She doesn't have the guts to fight with him. She's too busy trying to please him.

Ryan Bennett is also very troubled.

The problem is, Ryder has been acting really strange these days! Before, with Aria as a pretense, he seemed normal, but then he suddenly became extremely lazy and didn't care about anything.

He stays in the dormitory all day and doesn't go anywhere.

They've been roommates for over a year, and the brothers know each other quite well.

This is a typical sign that he's not interested in anything. To put it bluntly - he's not in a good mood.

It's not that he has a habit of being a peacemaker.

The problem is, since he's lazy, the workload of their student union has doubled!!

This little girl Aria doesn't look for him anymore either. Ryan Bennett has observed for a few days and thought about it. He thinks this is where the problem lies.

Maybe that guy Ryder did something to make the little girl unhappy.

That guy seems capable of everything, but in fact, he may really not know how to make a girl happy. Usually, it's others who try to please him.

「Ryan」: He's used to being praised and doesn't know how to please people or understand girls' thoughts. If he offended you somewhere, don't keep it to yourself. You have to tell him.

Aria: "..."

So, what is all this about??

She purses her lips, exits Instagram, and sees the top - pinned message. Her chat with Ryder is still at the day she was late.

He hasn't looked for her at all.

After thinking for a while, she silently switches back to the chat interface.

She's thinking about how to reply to Ryan Bennett's messy words. Does he misunderstand the relationship between her and Ryder?

In fact, she knows a bit. Ryder should think that she has a good relationship with Maya Brooks, and since she got into Harvard University, he kind of takes care of her like a younger sister.

She knows he's a nice person.

Although he seems to be at odds with Maya Brooks on the surface, in fact, he's very responsible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Maya Brooks to the station for several years just because of her words back then.

If it were really like what Ryan Bennett said, it would be great...

Aria smiles helplessly and pulls the corner of her lips.

「Aria Winslow」: What happened to him?

「Ryan」: It's not easy to describe.

Ryan Bennett is silent. He feels that Ryder is like a depressed and lazy person who has broken up, but he has no evidence.

「Ryan」: How about you go and see him?

Aria: "..."

「Ryan」: He's on duty today.

「Ryan」: Do you know how to get to the student affairs office?

「Ryan」: It's in Jinhui Building, Room 404 on the fourth floor. You can use the excuse of going to the toilet to find him now.

「Ryan」: 😊

Aria is stunned for a moment.

She even has an illusion that Ryan Bennett can't wait to pack her up and send her to the fourth floor right now.

She looks up.

Ryan Bennett's expectant gaze, like that of an old father.

The two look at each other for a long time.

Aria hesitates for a few seconds. She drags her chair back and slowly hesitates whether to stand up or not.
