Raise Love-77-God deliberately bullies her

Silly girl.

Many girls, even when just sharing the same space with him, wouldn't just lower their heads to play with their phones. They would try to strike up conversations with him even when there was nothing to talk about. And if they didn't talk, they would secretly peek at him.

Although Ryder didn't say anything, he would get impatient.

However, with Aria, it was completely different. Without him having to say anything, she was as obedient as could be.

And he was dissatisfied instead.

Especially when he thought that she was hiding a guy she liked and refused to tell him. So, she just had nothing to say to him?

This matter was like a thorn.

It made him feel at a loss, even if he had the thought of trying to steal her heart from someone else.

Someone who had never experienced such cold treatment and was always so arrogant was now experiencing an unprecedented sense of gap and pent-up frustration.

Was he suffering?

He was almost dying from it.

Ryder's eyes were dark. He let out a snort - like laugh and pointed at the backpack he had pushed back. "I want a strawberry - flavored candy."

"...Oh." Aria replied dully. She suddenly became acutely aware that his mood seemed to have turned bad again.

Aria: "..."

This man, why was his mood so changeable today!

He was so annoying!

She was a bit overwhelmed.

Ryder watched her with an air of leisurely anticipation. Aria lowered her almond - shaped eyes, her thick and curled eyelashes drooping. She found a Chupa Chups in her backpack and handed it to him.

The pink stick set off her fingers, making them seem especially delicate and fair.

Aria said softly, "Here you are."

She felt like she was coaxing a fussy child.

But this was Ryder, after all.

"Aria," Ryder's eyes were dark and gloomy, but his voice was still lazy. When she responded, he said, "Peel it for me."

Aria looked up.

The boy's eyes had an upward - slanting end, and his naturally affectionate - looking eyes were pitch - black and shimmering, like hooks. It made her heart skip a beat.

He...

Why did he suddenly give her such a look?

It was so alluring.

Aria's face turned a bit red. She pursed her lips and slowly peeled the wrapper of the Chupa Chups, then handed it to him again.

"Here."

Ryder glanced at the phone on the seat that had gone black because no one was using it. With an unchanged expression, he leaned over. To Aria's stunned expression, he took the lollipop into his mouth.

Because he was so close, his chin rubbed against the back of her hand.

Aria stiffened involuntarily. This was the first time she had touched a boy's chin with her hand. It wasn't as soft as a girl's. Instead, there was a slight, barely visible stubble that felt a bit rough, like sandpaper.

And as he breathed, the hot air from his nostrils fanned out on the skin between her thumb and index finger, where she was holding the lollipop in a circle.

The feeling was very subtle.

When Aria realized what was happening, her hand trembled in fright.

Ryder didn't move. With his head lowered, biting the lollipop, he lifted his eyelids and glanced at her.

Aria's mind went blank. It felt like time had stopped, and her vision was so narrow that she could only see the person in front of her.

At this moment, Aria couldn't help but think of many things.

Ryder's most handsome feature was his face that seemed to be favored by the goddess of creation.

But the most vivid, the one that could express all kinds of emotions and make people sink deeply, were his eyes.

In the second semester of her first year of high school, Aria chose liberal arts when they were divided into liberal and science classes. Her deskmate after the division had also chosen liberal arts and came down from the experimental class.

Because in The Bronx Middle School, the experimental classes were only for science students.

She couldn't remember what they were chatting about during a break, but somehow, the topic turned to the experimental class. When her deskmate mentioned Ryder, she suddenly said that his eyes were incredibly beautiful.

Compared to his face, those eyes seemed to be able to speak.

They were pitch - black, lazy, and the light in them was so bright that it seemed to be able to break through all obstacles, showing tenacity and power.

But Aria had never seriously looked into his eyes.

It wasn't that she didn't have the opportunity, but that she didn't have the courage.

Every time she met his gaze, she would quickly look away, never lasting more than three seconds. She knew he had single - edged eyelids, had seen his vague lazy and unrestrained look, his deep - seated hostility, but had never truly looked into them.

After all, their interactions were few and far between.

The subsequent chat wasn't very pleasant, at least not for Aria. She listened to her deskmate talk about their vice - monitor.

It was the girl who was very close to Ryder in high school.

She remembered her deskmate talking animatedly, saying that they were all on the vice - monitor's side, and telling the ambiguous stories between them.

Sad feelings were always deeply engraved in her memory. She couldn't remember many details, but she didn't forget these plots at all.

But overall, there was also something that made her happy. Later, she didn't hear any more rumors about the ambiguity between Ryder and that vice - monitor, so she thought it was all false.

She was happy for a while.

Until the academic proficiency test in the second year of high school, her examination room was assigned to the fourth floor, just a few classrooms away from the experimental class.

In one of the tests, she happened to be in the same examination room as him.

It was incredibly close.

He was sitting diagonally in front of her on the right.

The questions in the academic proficiency test were quite simple. Suppressing the joy that was about to overflow in her heart, she wrote quickly.

All for the sake of finishing early so that she could look at him more.

That seemed to be the only time in so many years that she could secretly look at him so greedily and openly.

Unfortunately, it seemed that God was deliberately bullying her, making this joy fade away completely very quickly.

As soon as she walked out of the examination room, she saw him walking side by side with their class vice - monitor, chatting and laughing as they passed by.

Aria can't really remember how she felt at that time because it was so sudden. She only remembers that her eyes suddenly became hot, and she quickly lowered her head.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him suddenly turn his head and look over, with a still - lingering insolent and nonchalant smile on his face, lazy and carefree.

That was a look she rarely had the chance to see.

After that, she saw them walking side by side more and more often. During the big break for the Monday flag - raising ceremony, when she deliberately went to the office to ask questions, and during the once - a - week physical education class.

It was strange. Their figures seemed to be everywhere.

Before, she had only seen him alone or with three or five of his friends. But suddenly, it became the two of them.

The girl was bright and beautiful, the boy was tall and handsome. They were both the monitor and vice - monitor. Even Aria couldn't help but want to wish them well.

During the physical education class, the students in the experimental class jeered, and she didn't hear him deny it.

She left in a hurry.

She passed by them as if nothing had happened, calmly had a physical education class with her classmates, skipped dinner, and lay on her desk, crying silently in the face of the purple sunset.

She had spent nearly two years hinting to herself that she no longer liked him. She had even thought about trying to transfer her feelings to someone else.

But as soon as he appeared, she was like a radar that had been activated.

Aria knew that she actually had many opportunities to ask him. The journey home was so long, and it was just a matter of asking a question.

But if it were really that easy, it wouldn't be a secret crush.

People in a secret crush are the most timid cowards. Exposing even a bit of their feelings openly is like being exposed to the sun.

After the fire spreads, it will die.

She was really too timid and didn't have the courage to burst out.
