Raise Love-53-Ryder is Special to Her

Finn Alvarez was majoring in software programming, and Ryder was studying computer science. Their fields were similar in some ways, so they hit it off.

Ultimately, he trusted Ryder.

Ryder glanced at him but didn't say anything. Finn Alvarez grabbed the pillow and went to bed to sleep, "I'm fucking exhausted. Gonna sleep first. Hurry up and take a shower. Don't catch a cold after getting caught in the rain."

Then he impatiently urged Ryan Bennett again.

The bathroom door was roughly pulled open, and Ryan Bennett hopped out with his half - put - on underwear, pulling it up while cursing.

Ryder, who was facing him, twitched his eyelid, turned his face away, and cursed, "Fuck."

"What's wrong?" Oliver Kim stuck his head out.

After taking a look, he fell back and cursed, "Fuck, I'm getting an eye - sore. Can't you put your clothes on properly before coming out?"

"Fuck off."

"Ah, I curse you to be impotent!!!"

After the rain stopped, the sun came out the next day. The temperature was cool with the remnants of the rain, and the breeze that blew by was comfortable and pleasant. The venue had been decorated long ago, and there were balloons piled up at the entrance.

There were balloons of all shapes, and some were tied together to form the appearance of small animals, cute and lively.

The staff members who were in charge of the decoration were sitting at the entrance, holding an air pump, with a pile of balloons beside them. Some bold people would take a few balloons and play with them when they passed by.

The girl blowing the balloons was so angry that she started cursing.

The boy deliberately came back and playfully knocked her on the head with a balloon. Maya Brooks, who was passing by, kicked him, and he obediently sat down to help.

Ryder came early in the morning to supervise, but he didn't really do anything. He just nestled in the sofa in the corner of the stage, playing with his phone.

There were many girls in the student union.

They rarely got to see him, and when they did, they all tried to get close to him. However, because of his cold and aloof demeanor, they hesitated.

Lila Torres hadn't seen Ryder for quite a while.

She was in the medical department. By her sophomore year, she almost had a full schedule. Ryder could be anywhere. She had gone to the podium on the playground several times but ended up with nothing.

Finn Alvarez had been in charge of the student - union meetings these times.

Seeing him here in the morning was a pleasant surprise for Lila Torres. Last time, Ryder was single, and she took the opportunity to confess her love, but he didn't give any response at all.

He said that the breakup period was too short, and he hadn't gotten over his previous relationship. It was clearly just an excuse.

How much feeling could one develop in three days?

Everyone at Harvard University knew that Senior Kens was a natural playboy.

All excuses.

Lila Torres knew she was beautiful and the type that Ryder used to date. She took a breakfast that a club member had just bought and walked gracefully towards him.

The girls who were pushing and shoving to go over saw that someone had taken the lead and pursed their lips in dissatisfaction.

"Why? We were here first. I even bought the breakfast. She's so good at using what others offer."

"Who asked you to be so timid? Look at her, she just goes for it." One of the girls sneered, crossing her arms, "Hehe, let's see if she can still laugh when she gets rejected. Just having the courage to go up there doesn't mean anything."

"Didn't they say that Lila Torres is already Ryder's girlfriend? Ryder didn't deny it either. Maybe she really is."

"What? A friend of mine is her roommate. She said Lila Torres is just pestering him. If Ryder hadn't come to the fraternity today, she wouldn't even be able to find him."

"..."

The place wasn't big, and the whispers below reached Lila Torres's ears. Her expression changed slightly, but she walked over with an unchanged face.

Ryder was leaning against the sofa, his baseball cap pulled low. A game video was playing on his phone, and his eyebrows and eyes were not clearly visible.

Lila Torres stopped beside the sofa, tightened her hand holding the breakfast, and called him softly, "Ryder?"

The girl deliberately made her voice sweet and coquettish.

With such a beautiful woman standing in front of him, using such a sweet voice, any man should be tempted.

However, before Ryder even looked up, he frowned.

To be honest, he didn't recognize whose voice it was.

But the voice was overly coquettish, and it made his ears uncomfortable.

His finger joints holding the phone paused slightly. He lifted his eyelids and said expressionlessly, "What's the matter?"

"You..." Lila Torres looked at him. Seeing that he didn't seem to care about her at all, she couldn't help but bite her lip, "Have you had breakfast?"

Ryder's brows furrowed even tighter.

His lazy and indifferent eyes stared at her for more than ten seconds. Finally, he remembered who the person in front of him was, and he became even more impatient.

Lila Torres handed the breakfast over and said, "They just bought it. I saw you sitting here without moving. You haven't eaten yet, right?"

"Thanks." He pulled down his baseball cap, his tone indifferent as he casually refused, "I've eaten. You can keep it for yourself."

His attitude was clearly one of keeping people at a distance.

Lila Torres's smile froze. She stood there for a long time. After all, she was a girl, and she didn't know how to proceed. She had shown her affection, and he clearly felt it, but he didn't give any response. She was really unwilling. m.gΟиЪ.ōΓＧ

Why could others succeed, but she couldn't?

There were girls like her around him all the time. Why couldn't she get any response? Or was it the same for others?

"Ryder." Lila Torres bit her lip and called him.

Ryder lifted his eyelids.

There was no emotion in his pitch - black almond - shaped eyes. They were so cold that they made people feel embarrassed, as if she was completely exposed in front of him.

He wasn't attacking anyone. His eyes could even be considered gentle, but somehow, it was still embarrassing.

Lila Torres tightened the bag with the breakfast in her hand and asked through gritted teeth, "Is there something about me that you're not satisfied with?"

"Am I not pretty enough to catch your eye? Or is it something else? I don't believe you can't tell what I mean. Or do you have someone you like?"

For some reason, when she asked the last question, Aria's face suddenly popped into her mind.

That little girl...

She was beautiful and quiet. Clearly not Ryder's type, but it was very obvious that Ryder was different to her.

He never coaxed girls, but he was extremely indulgent to that little girl. She had never seen him show impatience towards her.

Lila Torres wasn't the type to pester someone. She wasn't short of suitors and couldn't stand being ignored like this.

Any woman who approached him had the same purpose.

Everyone wanted his affection.

She looked at Ryder's clearly - defined and smooth side - profile. After a few seconds, she raised her chin and said, "You have to give me an answer, at least."

Ryder expressionlessly lifted his eyelids.

He was actually quite gentle to most people. After all, he was the president of the student union. The reason he had been ignoring Lila Torres was that she was a member of the student union.

He didn't want to get involved with the female students in the student union. Smart people would understand this at a glance and wouldn't pester him anymore.

He didn't expect Lila Torres to be so persistent in asking.

He wearily pressed his temples and casually asked in return, "What answer?"

"You..."

Ryder interrupted her and said coldly, "Miss, I remember that when you first joined the student union last year, I clearly told you all that I'm very busy. Don't come to me for anything other than work."

Lila Torres bit her lip, her face turning pale.
