"Yes." Chelsey nodded. Kylie sighed before saying, "My hometown is very far from Westine. It takes 15 hours by train, and even the high-speed rail takes more than five hours."The price of a high-speed rail ticket was twice that of a regular train. So, Kylie bought a standard class train ticket and endured a 15-hour journey to Westine to save money.Sitting for such long hours made her back ache. She even suffered from leg cramps. Kylie decided she never wanted to ride in a standard coach again. The academic advisor had chosen a class representative.That evening, the class representative led the class meeting.The first activity was self-introductions, followed by ice-breaking games to bond the students.In a hushed tone, Kylie said, "Chelsey, Quincy dropped by the dormitory to look for you this afternoon.""Who's Quincy?"Chelsey could not put a face to the unfamiliar name. She had no idea who Kylie was referring to."It's the senior who argued with you this morning.
Chelsey only had two classes in the morning on Mondays.That day, she headed back home for lunch after class. She had also made plans to meet Shannon in the afternoon for coffee.They agreed to meet at a café near the school.After taking a nap, Chelsey walked to the café.Shannon was already seated by the window. When Chelsey entered, Shannon raised her hand to greet her.Chelsey hurriedly walked over and called out, "Ms. White."Shannon looked at her from head to toe, praising, "You look like you're only 17 or 18! You don't look like a mom at all.""Really? Do I look that young?"Lia had mocked Chelsey the day before, calling her old. So, Chelsey was delighted to hear Shannon compliment her youth."It's true. You look like you're 18 at most."Shannon then pointed at the QR code on the table. "What would you like to drink? You'll need to scan the code and place your order. I've already ordered mine.""Okay."With that, Chelsey took out her phone, scanned the code, and or
Shannon responded, "Thanks to you, I was able to muster the courage to start a new life and return to my alma mater to teach.""Isn't that great? Teaching at university is a breeze. You'll still have time to participate in variety shows and shoot short videos. A teacher like you, who's beautiful and talented, would be a hit online," said Chelsey.As they chatted, the waiter brought the coffee to their table.Shannon took a sip and smiled at Chelsey."Now I know why Luke likes you. You're a sweet talker! Even I, myself, like you. I feel comfortable chatting with you."Chelsey laughed exaggeratedly before uttering, "Just yesterday, someone told me my social awareness needs improvement because I offended someone on the first day of school. They even claimed that I'm in for a rough ride ahead.""Really? Who's got such poor judgment to think your social awareness is lacking? I think you're sharp and eloquent," Shannon sincerely praised Chelsey.Shannon and Chelsey did not know each o
Tobias' lips curled into a faint smile as he gazed at Shannon. "It's okay. You don't need to compensate me."Shannon stared at Tobias' handsome face, and her heart pounded violently. Could it be just like what Chelsey had said? Was love coming her way?Shannon decided that she would not miss this opportunity.So, she took the initiative and said, "Sir, let's exchange contacts on WhatsApp. I'll pay for the repair costs.""We can exchange contacts, but forget about paying."As Tobias spoke, he took out his phone. "Why don't you scan my QR code?""Sure!" Shannon excitedly scanned his QR code before asking, "May I know your last name, sir?""It's Langley," Tobias replied.With a bright smile, Shannon introduced herself. "My name is Shannon White. You can save my number.""Got it."Tobias tapped on his phone screen and said, "I have to go. Goodbye for now.""Goodbye!"Since Shannon's car blocked the exit, the vehicles behind her started honking impatiently.She hurrie
Lia walked toward the lake as she spoke on the phone. She did not want Quincy to eavesdrop on her conversation.After ending the call, she returned to Quincy.Quincy asked curiously, "Was it Linda who called?""Yes," Lia proudly answered. "Linda told me that she showed my design to her director. She said the director thought highly of me and invited me to join their weekend team-building event. If all goes well, I'll be an intern at Queen Jewelry.""Wow! That's great, Lia. You're beautiful and talented. Are you trying to make us feel inadequate?" Quincy remarked, casting an envious glance at Lia.Lia acted like it was nothing significant. She waved her hand and responded, "Queen Jewelry isn't that big of a deal. I simply like their designs. Honestly, it won't be a challenge for me to get into Civi.""Wow, you're truly amazing, Lia."Lia enjoyed being praised by Quincy. They didn't actually have a close relationship. However, Quincy had approached her for the past few days
In no time, the academic advisor heard the news and rushed over.She then summoned Chelsey and Quincy to her office.The academic advisor, Camila Dalton, wanted to diffuse the situation, so she told Chelsey, "Chelsey, apologize to Quincy and help her clean up her drawings. I'll consider this matter settled."I don't want it to escalate, either. If that happens, it isn't good for anyone."Wearing a cold expression, Chelsey reiterated, "She bumped into me and deliberately spilled my coffee over herself. I won't apologize to her."Camila did not believe a word Chelsey said."There's no way Quincy would do such a thing. Chelsey, it's important to take responsibility when you make a mistake. "She isn't asking for any compensation. All Quincy wants is an apology from you. Is saying sorry really that hard?"But Chelsey stood firm, saying, "I'll apologize if it was my fault. But I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I? I won't say I'm sorry."As soon as she said that, Quincy's cr
Camila was already there when Chelsey entered the dean's office. At the sight of Chelsey, she told the dean, "Mr. Henderson, this is Chelsey Jenson, a freshman majoring in fashion design."First-year students used to be so well-behaved. I can't believe how difficult it is to manage them now."The dean, Nigel Henderson, nodded. "I understand. You may leave now. I'll handle it.""Alright. Thank you, Mr. Henderson."Camila shot Chelsey a withering look before swiftly exiting the dean's office and closing the door behind her.She firmly believed that with her stubborn nature, Chelsey would be out of control if she were not disciplined. Nigel looked at Chelsey solemnly, asking, "Are you Chelsey Jenson?""Yes." Chelsey nodded.She was mentally prepared for whatever punishment was coming her way. After all, she would never apologize to Quincy.But Nigel abruptly smiled and said, "You're Albert's outstanding student. We met a few years ago in his studio.""I'm sorry, but I don
Even Quincy never imagined that she would be the one getting punished, not Chelsey.The surveillance footage merely showed them colliding. It was difficult to determine who had done it on purpose.Refusing to accept the outcome, Quincy went to argue with Camila.Camila, who had a good relationship with Quincy, felt helpless, too. "The decision was made during a faculty meeting, and I don't know why it turned out like this. Don't worry, Quincy. Just keep doing your best. I'll push to get your disciplinary probation lifted."At that point, Quincy was already in tears. "Ms. Dalton, I've always been on my best behavior and never offended anyone. Why would Chelsey do this to me? She's too cunning."Camila was also at a loss. She tried to comfort Quincy, saying, "Don't cry. Tears won't solve anything. The conflict between you and Chelsey needs to be resolved privately."I don't know if she's cunning, but I'm surprised by the faculty's decision. Maybe she has evidence that she did
Sandra flashed a satisfied smile as she wrapped her arms around Micah's neck and kissed him. "Please be gentle. I'm afraid it'll hurt… Mmm…"An hour later, Sandra lay limp in Micah's arms. Both of them were drenched in sweat.Although the car was not spacious, it did not affect Micah's performance. Sandra was very satisfied with him. He turned to look at the sleepy Sandra and gently asked, "Does it still hurt?""Yeah…"Sandra did not expect it to hurt so much to the point she'd cried in pain.Now, she was exhausted. She did not even have the strength to keep her eyes open.Micah reached out to gently wipe away Sandra's tears. "Are you satisfied?""Yeah," Sandra replied as she embraced him tightly. At that moment, all she wanted to do was sleep. Sandra then fell asleep. She had no idea how she returned to the hotel.When she woke up, it was already morning.Micah was lying beside her, and neither of them was wearing anything. Her eyes lit up at the sight of his hand
Micah's judgment may be somewhat clouded, but he was still aware that he and Sandra were in the car.It was their first time doing the deed. Wasn't it too intense for it to happen in the car?"Let's head back to the hotel. The car is too small," Micah said as he grabbed Sandra's hand, his voice hoarse but sexy. Sandra looked at him seductively. "Are you sure you can hold on until we return to the hotel? I can't stand it anymore. I want it now…"She stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips as she spoke. Every move of hers was charming.Micah was both amused and helpless at the sight of Sandra's eagerness. He had never met such an unrestrained woman like her. She was indeed a lethal poison. Micah's throat felt like it was on fire. He swallowed hard and replied, "It's our first time. Let's not be hasty. We can enjoy it better in the hotel room."Sandra was not the only inexperienced one. It was also Micah's first time. He felt that doing it in the car lacked a sense
Sandra's suggestive tone caused Micah's heart to flutter, and indescribable images appeared in his mind again. His lips trembled as he nervously asked, "W-What do you want to do?""What do you think I want to do?" Sandra winked at him and then licked her lips. Everything was implied but left unsaid, understood without being spoken.Micah felt both excited and awkward. He cleared his throat before replying, "It's too fast.""We'll get there eventually. So, why not do it sooner? We can enjoy it in advance," Sandra said seriously.Once again, her logic left Micah at a loss for words.He took a deep breath to remain rational. Micah refused to let his instincts take the reins once more. "We've just started dating, and there's no guarantee we'll continue to do so. I don't want to hurt you if we don't work out."But Sandra did not seem to care. "Why is your thinking still so conservative in this day and age? I'm not concerned about it, so why should you?"She merely wanted hi
Sandra did not answer Xenia's question. Instead, she replied, "The crawfish here tastes good. It's big and fresh."But Xenia showed no interest in the crawfish. She was captivated by Micah, her eyes lingering on him."Sandra, is he your boyfriend or bodyguard?"Sandra shot Xenia an annoyed glance and answered, "He's my boyfriend. What's it to you?""Nothing much. Your boyfriend suddenly rushed onto the stage and disrupted the filming. Mr. Dodd was pissed. Tell your boyfriend he shouldn't do that again. Even if he wants to become famous, that's not the way."Xenia's words were somewhat sarcastic, leaving Sandra feeling uncomfortable.The latter retorted, "My boyfriend doesn't want to become famous. He rushed onto the stage because he saw I was feeling unwell. "If it weren't for him, I'd have died by now. And if someone dies, the filming can't continue, anyway."Sandra did not know hypothermia could be so severe. She thought she could have toughed it out.Fortunately, Micah h
Sandra could break up with Micah next month if everything went smoothly.She playfully winked at him and said, "It's your turn to feed me."Micah choked on his saliva upon hearing that.They were in public, so he dared not do it at all. However, Sandra had already opened her mouth."Hurry up and feed me."Left with no choice, Micah peeled a crawfish and fed her.After eating that, Sandra smiled and demanded, "I want you to feed me with your mouth.""Don't push your luck."At that point, Micah's face had turned red as a tomato.Despite being an upright person, Sandra had led him astray. His mind was now filled with unwholesome thoughts."I will push my luck," replied Sandra. She then pouted coquettishly. "Quick! Feed me!"She had thoroughly gotten the better of him.Micah became a man without principles, only capable of spoiling his girlfriend. He could not bring himself to refuse her demands.With a crawfish in his mouth, he turned to feed it to Sandra.She aggressi
Sandra did not want to order takeout at the hotel.So, she searched online for a highly-rated restaurant and asked Micah to drive there.Sandra had chosen an eatery that specialized in crawfish. Upon their arrival, she boldly ordered 22 pounds of crawfish, some side dishes, and beer. The crawfish soon arrived, and the plate was almost as big as the table. Sandra rolled up her sleeves and immediately dug in. She also poured beer for herself and Micah."I need to drive, so I can't drink," said Micah."Don't worry. We can just call for a driver. Let's drink together. It's no fun drinking alone."After saying that, Sandra picked up her glass and took a big gulp.She even put her feet up on the chair while eating, displaying her carefree demeanor.It was Micah's first time seeing a female celebrity who was unconcerned about her image. He suddenly found Sandra's bold and candid character rather adorable.As Sandra savored the crawfish, she paired each mouthful with sips of be
Trevor was even more handsome up close.He was a gentleman, smiling as he asked, "Can you stand steady?""I should be able to," answered Sandra.Initially, she was standing just fine, but then Trevor helped her. Sandra suddenly felt her legs go weak. Perhaps she could not stand steady now.Trevor helped her to the side and said, "You should sit here for a while. Continue filming when you feel better.""Alright."At that moment, Sandra hated herself for not bringing paper and a pen with her. Otherwise, she would have gotten Trevor to sign an autograph."He's so good-looking!" Sandra exclaimed inwardly.After that, Trevor returned to the stage. Owen dared not make a sound and only glared at Sandra, who innocently pursed her lips.How could Owen blame her? Trevor was the one who wanted to help her, after all. Suddenly, Sandra sensed an unfriendly gaze and instinctively turned to look. She immediately caught sight of Micah's darkened expression, his eyes gleaming with a hi
Sandra was not embarrassed by Micah's stare. Instead, she flirtatiously blinked at him and asked, "Do you want to join me for a shower?"Startled, Micah averted his gaze and quickly turned away. "Why didn't you close the door when you shower?"Sandra confidently replied, "Why should I close the door? You're not a stranger. Besides, you've seen every part of my body multiple times."Micah could not help but wonder if she was truly a woman. Why wasn't she shy or reserved? Sandra was bolder than any man. Micah gulped nervously before saying, "That's one way to put it. But don't you feel like you're at a disadvantage by letting me see your body?""If you think I'm at a disadvantage, why don't you show me yours? That way, we'll be even." Sandra then beckoned with her finger. "Come here. Let's shower together."At that moment, Micah felt that Sandra was up to no good, like a witch from a fairy tale.After hanging the shirt she requested on the wall, he turned to leave the b
Sandra burst out laughing after hearing that. She was surprised that Micah had a sense of humor and could crack jokes.Their relationship took another step forward without them realizing it.If it had not been for the filming in the afternoon, Sandra would have wanted to make love with Micah immediately. She wanted to get it done as soon as possible because she had been waiting for this day for too long. After giving birth, she could focus on her career without needing to worry about all these matters anymore.Sandra had made a deal with her parents. They would take care of her child, and she did not need to be involved. The child would grow up and inherit the family business, while she could do whatever she liked and live a carefree life.In actuality, Sandra had no desire to date or marry. She just wanted to be alone.She could find several men to accompany her if she ever felt lonely.Meanwhile, Micah was completely unaware of Sandra's plans. He was even planning to in
