Raise Love-73-Why don't you tell me who he is

"Really?" Sophie didn't believe it.

This girl had a history of not being very trustworthy, so the credibility of what she said was really low.

Olivia didn't believe it either and asked with a smile, "Do you believe it?"

Oli had also come back two minutes ago and was changing clothes. Hearing this, she shrugged, indicating that she didn't believe it either.

Aria smiled, "Of course it's true. It's truer than real gold."

Ever since they were let off by Ryder for being late to the script - killing game last week, her roommates had always thought there was some improper relationship between her and Ryder.

However... there really wasn't.

She explained, "I've known him for many years. He and my best friend grew up together... uh, he's like an older brother to her."

After a pause, her smile faded a bit. "Because I'm close to my best friend, he takes a bit more care of me by the way." m.gΟиЪ.ōΓＧ

"Ah?" Sophie was a bit disappointed, as if she had missed out on a huge, valuable scoop. "So it's really like that."

"Alas, I thought it was real." Olivia said dejectedly.

Oli was more optimistic and teased, looking at Aria, "It'll happen sooner or later. What's the rush? People who are meant to be together will end up together."

"..."

Aria felt inexplicably guilty under Oli's gaze. Her face turned red, and she was also helpless about their reactions. "Do you believe me now?"

"Sigh!"

After eleven o'clock, the lights in the dormitory went out automatically. Aria lay on the bed looking at her phone.

After looking for a while, she exited the novel app. Still hesitating, she found the link to the forum entrance that Sydney had sent her.

The cold - white light of the phone screen was turned down to the lowest level, falling on the girl's fair and quiet face. She pursed her lips tightly, and with a slight tap of her fingertip, she entered the link.

This was the first time Aria had seriously entered the forum.

It took her a while to figure it out. She slowly found the login page, registered an account, and logged in.

As it turned out, she didn't even need to look for it on purpose. The post at the top was the one Olivia had shown her today, with a small, fiery red symbol attached to the back of the post.

It represented the current hottest topic.

In just a few hours, this post had been shared countless times.

Unlike the blurry situation during the orientation, this time it was more explosive, clear, and direct.

Aria stared at the post for a few seconds and then clicked in.

She first read the title again and felt that the word "new" was a bit sarcastic. She couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.

She didn't know exactly how many girlfriends he had had...

He wasn't this promiscuous in high school.

Aria let out a soft breath, then scrolled down and enlarged the blurry screenshot. Two pictures were put together, and it was vaguely distinguishable.

The boy was turning his head sideways, seemingly saying something to the girl.

Aria knew that this was when she had peeled the fruit and handed it to him, and he was teasing her with a nonchalant attitude.

She continued to scroll down. The text content of the post was extremely exaggerated.

It said that the two had an ambiguous demeanor, that they had been seen together several times, that Ryder bought her milk tea, and that he was dotingly holding her hand, and all sorts of such nonsense.

The written description was so vivid that it was as if there was a picture in one's mind.

It said that she was so shy that her face turned red and she wanted to avoid him, but he gently and possessively pressed her into his arms, etc...

Finally, the post ended with a classic line -

The president sneered.

"Woman, you've successfully captured my heart!"

Aria: "..."

Aria: "......"

If it weren't for the fact that the female protagonist in this post happened to be Aria herself, she would almost have believed it.

As someone who occasionally wrote stories, Aria sometimes really admired the imagination of the general public.

Just from a highly blurry photo, they had vividly imagined an 800,000 - word dog - blood youth script.

And it was the "prodigal son returns" character setting.

To be honest, Aria was quite into novels with this kind of character setting, but in real life, she really didn't think a prodigal son could actually turn back. A prodigal son was just a prodigal son.

How could he turn back just like that?

No girl had the courage to run head - on into a brick wall.

Unless she was extremely confident.

Aria was just stubborn, but she was a coward. She might be stuck in this for a long time, but as soon as she sensed even the slightest bit of danger, even a tiny bit, she would hide.

After all, she was extremely self - deprecating.

Aria simply put aside those random thoughts and read this post as a short story.

She browsed the comment section with great interest.

At this moment, her phone vibrated, and an Instagram message popped up.

Her hand slipped, and she clicked in.

She raised her eyebrows in surprise. Ryder?

In the middle of the night, what he sent her was also that post.

Aria replied: 「?」

The interface above quickly showed the words [Typing...].

Then it disappeared.

Then it appeared again.

Aria was confused. Finally, the message from the other side came through.

「Ryder Kensington」: Not asleep?

「Ryder Kensington」: The guy you like should be able to see this post too.

Aria was suspicious.

Then a long string of words came from the other side.

「Ryder Kensington」: Tsk, you're getting involved in a gossip with me. We don't want to cause misunderstandings. Why don't you tell me who he is? I'll help you explain.

Aria: "..."

Did he even know what he was talking about?!

He still wasn't giving up!

Aria found it both funny and annoying.

She paused for a moment, holding back her laughter, and replied, 「It's okay. Don't worry. Anyway, he doesn't know I like him.」

There was a long silence.

「Ryder Kensington」:.

After a while, another one came: 「.」

Aria didn't know why, but she was suddenly tickled. She hid under the covers, her shoulders shaking with suppressed laughter.

In her mind, she could almost imagine the expression of that person, frustrated and annoyed because he didn't get what he wanted.

After Aria had laughed enough, she sent him a "Going to sleep. Good night" and put away her phone, not planning to reply to any more messages.

As the book said, boys need to be played hard - to - get.

Whether he still wanted to talk to you or not.

What if she really succeeded in playing hard - to - get?

After this gathering, the military training was coming to an end. Under the intense pressure of the instructors, they intensified their training for two more days, and then the final military training performance arrived.

During the rehearsal of these two days, several people were removed from the class.

Aria only then found out that during the final rehearsal, those who didn't train well and didn't march properly would be eliminated.

In just two days, the spectator rest areas on both sides of the rostrum were almost full. At a glance, there were over a hundred people.

Aria felt a bit envious. Her feet hurt terribly.

Ryder hadn't appeared on campus since that day. She didn't know what he was busy with, and she didn't even see him on the day of the performance. Aria saw that the person who came on stage was Finn Alvarez.

That guy was usually rather unreliable.

This was the first time Aria had seen Finn Alvarez in formal attire with a serious face. She was quite surprised and took a photo to show Maya Brooks.

A burst of cold - laughing complaints came back immediately.

She used to only see Finn Alvarez following behind Ryder, kicking people hard, or flirting with girls in a flashy way, like a colorful butterfly.
