"Your school president," Sydney said, frustrated. She rolled her eyes impatiently. "That suit he wore this morning was so seductive. Come on, no girl could resist it."
Aria was stunned for a few seconds. "Ah."
"I'm not exaggerating at all," Sydney said. "I even heard some boys shouting his name from behind. You really need to pay more attention."
"I'd like to," Aria shrugged, looking helpless.
"But I can't just go up to him and confess, can I? When I mentioned the person I like, he didn't even react. Instead, he told me that my main task now is to study."
That guy really had no heart.
Aria said dejectedly, holding her phone, "If I really go to confess to him, I'll probably end up like those girls who got rejected. It's better to take things slow like boiling a frog in warm water."
Maybe one day he'll get used to her presence and can't live without her...
Although the possibility was slim.
Sydney thought of those girls who left crying and twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Tsk, he's really a difficult guy."
Aria couldn't deny it and nodded absent - mindedly.
"For someone like Ryder, being persistent and pestering him doesn't seem to work at all."
Sydney said, "My dorm is a mixed - major dorm. I heard from a senior in the computer department that there are confessions every day in their department. They try all kinds of fancy ways to chase him, but what happens? The school president doesn't even give them a reaction."
"He's not the type of cold - as - ice person, but when rejecting people, he's colder than anyone." Speaking of this, Sydney laughed.
"Here are his standard lines."
"The first one, 'Is there something?' "
"Of course, the girl starts confessing, and then he just lazily raises his eyelids and says, 'Sorry, I don't date girls who are too beautiful. I'd feel inferior.' "
Aria pursed her lips and smiled.
Sydney continued, "He uses all kinds of ridiculous excuses in the middle, making the girl cry from rejection. And he acts like he doesn't see it. Then comes the second standard line."
" 'Is there anything else?' "
Sydney was speechless. She said it was like writing a composition with a total - to - part - to - total structure. She even suspected that what was said on the forum was false.
Wasn't it said that this guy changed girlfriends as easily as changing clothes?
They had been here for some time, and all they saw was him rejecting people. There wasn't a single girlfriend in sight. What was going on?
"I don't know," Aria shook her head, feeling a bit relieved. "Maybe it's the start of the new semester, and he's in a burnout phase."
"Hey, or think about it from another perspective," Sydney suddenly raised her eyebrows and said in a sneaky way, "What if it's because of you?"
Aria: "?"
"Look, we don't know what he was like before. But since the start of the semester, have you seen him treating any other girl specially?"
"Come on, it's only you!"
Although she knew it was pure nonsense, Aria couldn't help but think a little more. It kind of made sense.
She was almost led astray.
Sydney was about to say more when the pot of rice noodles was brought over. She quickly interrupted, "Stop, stop. Let's eat first. Don't talk about it anymore!"
Sydney snorted twice. The aroma of the rice noodles wafted up, and she suddenly felt hungry. Her eyes lit up as she picked up her chopsticks.
As she scooped the noodles into a small bowl, she said, "I always smelled the fragrance when passing by before. I finally got the time to eat it today."
More and more people came into the small restaurant. The table next to them was also occupied, so the two of them stopped talking about those private topics. ωWω.GoNЬ.οrG
The few girls sitting next door, from an unknown major, started chatting about today's get - together, gushing over the handsome guys.
Aria listened, secretly clicking her tongue.
Sure enough, everyone was attracted to good looks.
She listened quietly as they excitedly and exaggeratedly discussed the handsome boys and beautiful girls at today's get - together, talked about how handsome the school president was, and discussed ways to get his Instagram.
Sydney raised her eyebrows at Aria from across the table.
Then she pointed at her phone, which had vibrated a few times.
Aria was silent for a moment.
She put down her chopsticks, picked up her phone, and unlocked the screen to take a look.
「Sydney」: Listen, your future husband is so handsome.
「Sydney」: I have a new idea for you. Find an opportunity to invite him out, get him drunk, and then have your way with him. Don't boys usually have that kind of complex?
What complex?
Aria blinked, looking at her in confusion.
Sydney smiled sweetly at her.
The phone "buzzed" again.
Sydney's message came - 「Virginity, complex.」
Aria: "..."
Shut up!!!
She put down the phone as if it had burned her. Even though she knew the people next to her didn't know anything and couldn't see, she still felt extremely uncomfortable.
Her face turned as red as an apple in an instant.
Sydney suppressed her voice and laughed lewdly, "Don't be shy, baby. Go for it! Do it!!"
"Sydney, shut up!" Aria glared at her angrily, lowering her head to eat the rice noodles. Her exposed ears were completely red.
If Ryder were here at this moment, she might just dig a hole and hide in it.
Aria's reaction made Sydney laugh so much that she couldn't stop complimenting her on how cute she was.
Aria was so angry with her!
The weather became cooler after autumn. When going out in the evening, one could clearly feel the chill without wearing a coat.
The two of them talked and laughed as they finished their meal and returned to the classroom. By this time, the classroom had been decorated. There were balloons, streamers, and the desks were arranged in an inverted "U" shape.
They were placed in a circle around the walls of the classroom, leaving the middle space for those with talents to perform. Besides, there were snacks, fruits, etc. on each desk.
They were placed haphazardly, but it really had a certain atmosphere.
Aria and Sydney weren't late, but they didn't expect others to be even earlier, having already occupied the seats.
The two of them had no choice but to sit near the door. It was easier than squeezing in and asking others to move.
Not long after they sat down, the students from the next class came in with their chairs. The two classes had their military training together, and some students were on good terms. After entering the door, they moved towards the people they knew to sit down, and the classroom quickly became crowded.
The teaching assistants of the two classes clearly knew each other. They chatted and laughed for a few words, and then started complimenting each other. Aria, sitting by the door near the multimedia, could hear their exaggerated flattery.
"Wow! Look at this! Who is this handsome guy? Look," he said in an overly exaggerated tone, waving his long arm. "Do you see? The Pacific Ocean is the drool I've shed for you."
"You're too kind. What are you saying? Brother, you're the truly handsome one. Look at this straight nose and handsome face. My heart has already been completely captured by you!"
"Come on, give me a hug?"
"Give me a hug! Good brother!"
They looked at each other affectionately, with so much "love" in their eyes, and finally embraced each other.
And they slapped each other's backs forcefully.
Then they coughed, full of "deep emotions," and let go of each other.
The childish friendship between men.
And the flattery got more and more exaggerated.
"..."
Aria lowered her eyes, forced to listen, and the corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.
This was really childish.
Just as she was thinking this, Sydney next to her complained, "Damn, what kind of childish and pretentious conversation is this? Help me..."
