Raise Love-52-Embracing the Petite Body of a Girl

"Yeah," he seemed to curl his lips into a smile, then pulled her body closer to his, "I can feel it."

Aria bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Then come closer."

As long as they were closer to each other, neither of them should get wet. It was just that the distance wasn't a safe one.

But... it didn't matter.

It was just to take shelter from the rain.

"Okay." A low laugh sounded. Ryder's strong arm pressed over from the side of her neck, encircling the girl's petite body.

He gently pulled her back.

Aria's whole body fell into his embrace.

Warm and reliable.

This was a boy in the transition between youthfulness and steadiness, solid and dependable, making her heart flutter and miss him all the time.

So this was what his embrace felt like.

She was greedy for it.

She quietly told herself in her heart that this was a gift from heaven, perhaps a once - in - a - lifetime embrace that she had only dreamed of.

She obediently leaned against his chest and walked in step with him.

All the way, they were quiet without speaking.

When they reached the entrance of No. 7 dormitory, this was the first time Ryder had stepped onto the long steps of No. 7 dormitory. He stopped at the door of the dormitory and pushed the dazed girl.

"Go back," he said lazily, pulling her to a place where the rain couldn't reach at the entrance of the dormitory, under the shadow of the umbrella. His eyebrows and eyes were unrestrained, and he smiled casually, "Take a hot shower and don't catch a cold."

Aria looked at his lazy and handsome eyebrows. Against the light above his head, his beautiful and deep eyes looked pitch - black, and his emotions were indistinguishable.

After saying that, he was about to leave.

As he half - turned his body, Aria came to her senses and hurriedly called out to him, "Wait a moment."

As if afraid that he would leave quickly, she ran forward a couple of steps and a small hand grabbed his a corner of a garment, emerging in the light and the rain.

Ryder stopped, squinted his eyes as he turned sideways, tilted the umbrella to cover her, and pulled her back.

"Hmm?" His voice was low, a bit hoarse, and seductively sexy.

"Don't leave yet." Aria let go of his clothes, unzipped the coat, took it off, and handed it to him.

Ryder lowered his eyes.

"Return the coat to you. It's quite cold. Put on the coat before you leave." After a pause, she reached out her hand, "I'll hold the umbrella for you."

"..." Ryder slightly narrowed his eyes, paused for two seconds, took the coat, hooked the collar and put it on, then took back the umbrella handle.

This time, he didn't leave in a hurry. He raised his browbone and asked her with a lazy smile, "Anything else, little classmate?"

"..." Aria said softly, "Thank you."

He snorted.

Another thank you.

Fine.

Ryder curled the knuckles of his left index finger, casually pulled the zipper up, slightly raised his chin, and said indifferently, "Go back quickly."

"Goodbye."

Aria took a look at him, lowered her head, and walked into the dormitory building. After walking slowly for a few steps, she tilted her head.

Outside the building, he had already turned around.

The black umbrella was steady, and the distance between them gradually increased.

She let out a sigh of relief, then moved back, absent - mindedly leaned against the wall, and watched him go down the steps until he turned the corner. She squinted her eyes and watched as the last hazy shadow disappeared, leaving only the rain mist.

Only then did she slowly walk upstairs.

**

Male Dormitory.

Ryan Bennett had just come back from a meeting on behalf of Ryder at the Military Association. He directly loosened his belt, took off the thick drill - instructor uniform, and rushed into the bathroom. Finn Alvarez and Oliver Kim, who were playing games, glanced sideways.

The door slammed.

It didn't close properly and bounced back, leaving a small crack.

The two of them laughed shamelessly. Oliver Kim laughed heartily, "Our Brother Yu has worked hard."

"—Fuck off!" came an angry shout from inside.

Who wouldn't want to lie in the dormitory and blow the air - conditioner on a hot day.

They were science and engineering majors, and their courses were originally demanding on the brain. But even if they were lazy, it was better than being in the thick military uniform and baking in the sun.

Ryder had completed enough credits by the end of his freshman year. presumably, apart from the position of student - union president, which was sometimes busy but mostly allowed him to slack off, he should be the most relaxed.

In fact, it was not the case. He was very busy and rarely stayed on campus.

"After being roommates for a year, don't you know him yet?" Oliver Kim raised his voice towards the bathroom, "We'll make him treat us later. Rip him off."

"Tomorrow is the freshman social event. Can Brother Yu have a day off? The military training is almost over. After the performance in a few days, he can throw off the burden. Just endure it for two more days, okay?"

Finn Alvarez let out a snort of laughter.

"So pitiful, brother." He leaned against the wall, controlling the character to release skills, with a tone of gloating, "Your brother will take care of you later."

"Get the hell out of here. Go cool off somewhere!" Ryan Bennett said angrily. After a while, he shouted in a rough voice, "The body wash is gone. Where's the new one?"

"Oh, I forgot to buy it. Dilute it with some water and use it for now."

"..."

When Ryder entered the dormitory, there was still cursing going on. He closed the umbrella, casually shook off the water on it, and threw it by the door.

"Yo, you're back?" Finn Alvarez glanced at him, sizing up his damp figure, and said with a smile, "There are washed grapes on the table. Help yourself."

He then turned his head and shouted towards the bathroom, "Brother Yu, hurry up. We're waiting for you." m.gΟиЪ.ōΓＧ

Ryan Bennett cursed a few words unhappily.

Ryder walked slowly towards the table, unzipping his clothes as he went. His body seemed to have the faint body fragrance of the girl left on the coat, a bit like orchid fragrance.

It wasn't strong, but it was impossible to ignore.

This fragrance, along with the damp smell of the rain, had accompanied him all the way.

Now only the fragrance remained.

He pressed his eyelid, which had been twitching non - stop since he put on this coat. His eyelashes drooped, his emotions obscure. He hooked the coat, opened the wardrobe, and casually threw it in.

He didn't want to wear it again anytime soon.

He picked up a chair, sat on it upside - down, and unceremoniously picked up a green grape from the bowl on the table, commenting, "A bit sour."

Finn Alvarez: "..."

He was being fed and still complaining.

He threw a pillow over, "If it's sour, don't eat it. Spoiling you."

"I will eat it." Ryder caught the pillow and threw it back to him, "Once it's on my table, it's mine."

Finn Alvarez: "Hmph."

Bastard.

He rubbed his slightly sore temple, thought of the things he had been busy with these days, and straightened his expression. He asked Ryder, "Is the company busy recently?"

"More or less." Ryder replied absent - mindedly.

Finn Alvarez heaved a sigh of relief.

He hadn't slept much these days, and his dark circles were so heavy that he almost looked like a panda.

He, Ryder, and two other people in the laboratory had jointly developed a project related to a popular game at the moment.

Besides the professional - technical aspect, research and development was one thing, and investment was an even more important aspect. Having only technology but no one to support it was completely useless. These things were updated and replaced quickly. What was new now might not be so later.

The sophomore year was a very important year. The first year at Harvard University was almost a free - range state. Harvard University was full of opportunities, and it encouraged students to look around before growing up.

To see the bustling and prosperous outside world and witness those at the top with their own eyes, so as to know what they really wanted.

And Ryder and his group were undoubtedly among the first batch to want to start their own businesses.
