Raise Love-72-The Mysterious Woman by Zhou Ye's Side

Sydney was stunned for a moment.

Coming back to her senses, she put on her own cat ears resentfully, reached out and pinched Aria's soft, almost - water - like cheek. "So cute."

"Wow, sweetie, what an excellent combination of genes your family has. No wonder someone likes you."

Humph.

She knew that that sly guy Ryder couldn't resist Aria's beauty.

Her little Wen was so adorable. Who wouldn't fall for her?

Aria was a bit embarrassed by Sydney's teasing. She grabbed Sydney's mischievous hand and said with a mock glare, "Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense." Sydney snorted.

He clearly liked her. He was even jealous of a girl like her.

That man was so petty!

The two girls strolled around the playground with cat ears on, and then were attracted by the singing and dancing in the middle of the lawn.

Sydney was still holding two roses wrapped in delicate star - printed plastic paper, exuding a faint fragrance. She directly tore the wrapping open violently and broke off a branch.

Before Aria could react, she tucked the rose beside her ear. Aria turned her head in surprise to look at her.

With a glance back of her curved almond - shaped eyes, the girl with cat ears was astonishingly beautiful. A rose in full bloom by her ear made her look like a bewildered fairy who had suddenly fallen between the late night and dawn.

Sydney, who had been prepared, seized the moment, raised her phone, pressed the shutter, and quickly captured this scene.

Then she looked down at the screen, smiling.

Tsk, so beautiful.

This girl was truly blessed by the gods.

It took Aria a while to react. She had never been fond of taking selfies, nor had she been photographed like this by others. She couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

She called out, "Qiaoqiao?"

"Yeah, come and take a look!" Sydney leaned over and showed her the phone screen, smiling as if the beautiful girl in the photo was herself. "How's my photography skills?"

"Adorable, right? Hehe!"

Aria blinked, looked down, and indeed, the photo was taken very well. The angle, filter, and lighting were all just right.

Looking at herself on the screen, she couldn't help but touch her face, feeling a bit incredulous and even more shy. "Yeah, it's beautiful."

She asked, "Did you specifically study photography?"

"Uh, not really." Sydney scratched her hair and said with a smile, "I was just interested in taking pictures when I was a kid. I liked to take pictures of any beautiful scenery I saw."

After a pause, she rubbed her nose shyly. "My family is relatively well - off. When my dad and the others saw that I liked it, they bought me a camera for me to play with."

Aria rarely saw her being shy and just smiled and praised her.

Sydney's smile was so wide that it seemed like it couldn't come down. Thinking of something, her eyes lit up, and she asked tentatively, "Ri - Ri, can I post your photos on Boluo?"

Aria was taken aback.

Sydney explained, "Don't worry. Not many people will see it. I don't have many followers on that account. I usually just post the photos I take randomly."

Boluo was an app similar to Xiaohongshu in terms of social functions.

She liked to post the beautiful scenery she photographed on it.

Anyway, no one would see it, and there were too many photos and videos taking up space in the album, so she simply uploaded them there, so she didn't have to worry about losing them.

And she really loved the few photos of Aria she took.

Her photography skills were amazing!

Sydney looked at Aria cautiously, her eyes full of anticipation.

Aria smiled with her eyes curved. "Sure, you can."

Sydney gave a whoop and hugged her.

Aria patted her on the back with a smile and said playfully in a gentle voice, "But don't let it spread. I don't want to become popular."

"Hehe, definitely, definitely!"

With Aria's permission, Sydney suddenly became more pushy. She pulled Aria and took a lot more photos.

Then the two of them went to the middle of the playground to watch the entertainment activities of the club's singing and dancing. They found that there were many people ordering songs. They watched for a while before leaving.

It was over nine o'clock when they got back to the dormitory. The other roommates were not there, perhaps because there were still some activities in the class.

Aria was exhausted from carrying the milk tea and climbing to the sixth floor. She listlessly dragged a chair and lay over the table, gasping for breath for a long time.

When she was tidying up her messy hair, she touched something fluffy and then remembered that the cat ears were still on her head.

She took them off and held them in front of her eyes to look at.

She flicked one of the small ears with her fingertips. They were small and soft, and indeed looked quite cute.

Aria played with them on the table for a while. After putting down her phone and bag, she found clean pajamas and prepared to take a shower, so as not to have to wait when her roommates came back and it got crowded.

When her roommates came back, Aria was blowing her hair with a hair dryer.

"Back?" She paused in combing her hair, looked up, and greeted her roommates with a smile.

"Yeah." Sophie slumped into her seat. "I'm exhausted."

As she said this, she gave Olivia a meaningful look. "Ugh... I can't take it. I'm so tired I can't catch my breath. You ask first."

Aria looked at them curiously: "?"

Olivia crossed her arms, looking Aria up and down with a strange look, making Aria feel uncomfortable.

Just as Aria couldn't help but was about to speak, she snorted with a smile. "Ri - Ri, be honest. Is that mysterious woman sitting next to the president today you?"

Aria: "Huh?"

She put down the hair dryer and twisted her hair with a towel. "What mysterious woman?"

"Hmph, still not admitting it!" Olivia glanced at her, then held her phone in front of Aria's eyes with a cold smile. gòйЪ.ōΓg

Her face clearly showed the expression of "You can't fool us this time."

Others might not recognize her, but as her roommates, how could they not know what Aria was wearing today?

After all, they had been living together day and night for more than half a month.

Aria subconsciously looked at the phone.

This time, she was truly stunned.

Right in front of her was the post that had been discussed wildly on the forum.

#Shocking! Has Ryder got a new girlfriend, and is she a female freshman?!!#

It wasn't an exaggeration. Ryder, the president of the student union, was even the face of Harvard University. The students in the school paid attention to him more keenly than a dog's nose sometimes.

"..." But Aria was really speechless.

Why did such a proper title sound like some entertainment - circle gossip...

And it was like a repeat of the same thing.

Did they really think that any female creature around Ryder was his girlfriend? There wasn't such a good thing.

Aria, who was dealing with her hair, didn't look carefully. She only glanced at the title and the photo below, a very, very blurry profile.

She was speechless for a while longer. Facing the gossip - filled eyes of her roommates that seemed to be on fire, she smiled helplessly.

"He just happened to come to our class."

"I happened to arrive late, and my classmates and I were sitting near the door. When he came, he just sat next to me. It's not as complicated as you think."
