Raise Love-131-Nausea Thoughts of Stinky Men

Aria thought about it and decided to let him be.

She was almost done getting ready. She picked up the trash in the dormitory quietly while holding her phone, grabbed her textbooks, and quickly went downstairs.

Ryder was already waiting outside the apartment.

As soon as Aria stepped out of the apartment door, she was embraced by his warm body.

"Ah."

Aria quickly stretched her arm to hold the trash away.

Ryder buried his face in her neck, making her shiver. Aria shrank her neck and pushed him softly, saying, "It's so cold, Ryder."

"Yeah—" Ryder slightly bent over, holding the soft little girl in his arms, nestling his face even deeper. He drawled, "It's freezing. Let me hug you to warm up."

Aria stopped avoiding then. Enduring the coldness of his face, she tilted her head slightly and reached out to brush the snow off his clothes.

She hugged him with one hand and said gently, "Why did you come so early? If I hadn't woken up to watch the snow, you'd have to wait for a long time."

After a pause, her voice became even softer. "Ryder, it's not summer anymore. You don't have to come and wait for me so early every day. Besides, you've already caught me."

It was so cold, and she felt heartbroken for him.

She really couldn't bear to see Ryder endure such hardship.

Aria had heard before that some boys were very attentive when chasing girls, sending meals, buying milk tea, and accompanying them to class. But after they got the girl, they became perfunctory and slack once the novelty wore off.

After all, there were only so many common steps in chasing someone, and not many new tricks. But Ryder definitely wouldn't be like that.

She stroked Ryder's hair.

His hair was different from his tough image. It was soft, like a cat's, but it was damp. The snow had melted. He must have come very early and waited for who - knows - how long.

Even if she asked, he wouldn't admit it.

He was always like this.

"That's why I should come." Feeling the girl's warmth and obedience, Ryder rubbed his face against her neck, gently bit it, and then finally let go and straightened up.

His girl was so obedient that she wouldn't make a fuss even when she was wronged.

"What if I don't come and someone else takes advantage of the situation?"

Like that Kiran, the straight - laced science - and - engineering guy who still hadn't completely cleared his suspicion. He was an old classmate, and he was so eager to offer to explain problems to his little girl in the library.

Hmph, the disgusting thoughts of those stinky men.

Who knew if he was unilaterally eyeing his little girl.

And last night, some audacious fool actually dared to try to steal his girl right at the scene of his confession?

Ryder was so angry that he could barely eat.

He had nightmares all night about those annoying things.

Aria couldn't help but laugh.

She wasn't that remarkable.

It was just that now that he liked her, he thought she was perfect in every way.

But she didn't deny what he said. She just said, "But I only like Darling Rye. So no one can take advantage."

Ryder's heart melted at her words.

He held the little girl's face and kissed her, then said in a low voice, "Airy, say it again."

Aria curved her lips. "Darling Rye."

"Yeah." A smile bloomed in Ryder's eyes. His dark, aloof eyes instantly softened, leaving only bright and resolute tenderness.

So gentle that it had no edge.

With a beloved girl, even the fiercest beast would pull out its sharp teeth and claws, expose its soft belly, worried if it was soft enough, gentle enough, and not too scary for her.

What the beast didn't know was that she was both timid and bold towards him.

She had been trying to get closer to him.

The snowflakes gradually became smaller. The two went to the cafeteria for breakfast. After breakfast, they had two morning classes starting at eight. Aria lay on the table, previewing the textbook. Ryder, instead of sleeping, leaned against her, playing with his phone.

The two short classes passed quickly. It was too troublesome to go back to the dormitory, so Aria simply put her books in the small classroom assigned to their class. The young couple left the teaching building, holding hands intimately.

Since coming to Harvard University a few months ago, apart from going out to the mall with friends on weekends or when she had no classes, to have a meal, Aria hardly ever left the campus.

The number of times she went out could be counted on one hand.

Kyoto was very unfamiliar to her.

Ryder grabbed Aria's wrist, and within seconds, their fingers intertwined. After holding hands for a while, he seemed dissatisfied. He stretched his arm and put it around the little girl's waist.

Aria was startled by his embrace. Being held by him, she half - leaned in his arms and looked up at him, but didn't say anything.

There were quite a few people going out to play today.

"Ryder, where are we going?" There were many people at the school gate. Aria looked around. There were actually many places to play in Kyoto, but she couldn't think of any.

Ryder casually protected the little girl in his arms, glanced at her lazily with his droopy eyelids, and after a pause, said, "I don't know."

Aria blinked. "?"

... He didn't know?

Ryder inexplicably rubbed his nose with his bent finger, pulled his lips into a smile, and said in a lazy and matter - of - fact tone, "I've never had a girlfriend before, and I've never gone on a date either."

When he left Harvard University, he either went back to his shabby apartment to sleep, or he hung out with his brothers and friends, having meals, going to KTV, or staying overnight at the internet café. Men only had these few pastimes and didn't put much thought into other things.

They didn't go to those messy places.

Although Ryder was a bit of a rascal sometimes, the Kensington family's upbringing was strict. Messing around was out of the question. If his family found out, he'd be dragged back and punished.

He wasn't afraid of his father, but he couldn't afford to offend his mother and his elder brother.

"Then you said we'd go out to celebrate the festival?" Aria looked at him in disbelief. She thought he had planned something before saying he would take her out.

She never thought he had no plans at all?

Ryder, who was reminded of this, said, "..."

He had only been thinking about going on a date with the little girl. ωＷω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ

He knew that young couples should go on a date during festivals, but he had forgotten about planning where to go and what to do.

Ryder drooped his eyelids, looking at her without saying a word.

Aria was silent for a moment, then suggested in a small voice, "How about we go back to the library to study? I'm about to have the final exam, and I haven't started reviewing yet. There are so many advanced math problems I can't solve."

"..."

After all that, he still wasn't as important as studying.

Ryder's face darkened. He gritted his teeth in annoyance and dragged the little girl by her waist towards the parking garage. "No way, absolutely not."

"You promised to be with me today."

Aria looked at him with pleading eyes, and after a while, she said, "Oh, okay."

Getting into the car, Ryder leaned over to fasten Aria's seatbelt. Before pulling away, he quickly stole a kiss. It took quite a while for the SUV to drive out of the school.

He held the steering wheel and casually threw a pack of mint candies into the little girl's arms. "Put two in your mouth. I'll drive slowly. You probably won't get carsick."

Aria pursed her lips and smiled, obediently putting two mint candies in her mouth.

During the year of repeating her senior high school, her father was busy with work and had no time to pick her up. She would always take the bus to the terminal and then take a taxi home.

Sometimes she would get carsick and throw up, and sometimes she was okay.

Even if she got carsick and threw up, she didn't have to worry like before that Ryder would be disgusted by the mess.

The downside was that when she couldn't see him and felt extremely lonely, she would feel wronged and think of him.
