Chapter 45 Talented Man and Beautiful Woman's Sweet Love
"First of all, I think you're really pretty! And I'm not just saying that because you helped me at noon and I saw your beautiful heart. You have great features, good proportions, definitely natural beauty material."
It's just that your fashion sense could use some work.
Rebecca wisely kept the second half to herself, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "That Ryan Harvey from the Physics department, he's your boyfriend?"
At the mention of Ryan, Lucy's whole face lit up. "Yeah! We're from the same village back home."
A perfect match, a sweet romance made in heaven!
Rebecca's eyes sparkled with admiration.
She had seen Ryan once before.
During freshman orientation, in the student auditorium that could hold two thousand people, Ryan had been chosen as the freshman representative to speak on stage.
An 18-year-old guy with a wheat-colored complexion.
But his face had an open, confident look.
What really caught people's attention was that pure smile on his face, making his eyes look especially deep-set, and combined with that bright smile, he looked both innocent and handsome.
In previous years, there had been voting activities on the Empire University forum for the most handsome guy and prettiest girl at school.
But after that year's freshman assembly, from freshmen to seniors, it seemed everyone silently gave their vote to Ryan.
Great grades.
Great at basketball.
After just a few months of teaching himself guitar, he could already perform solo pieces at the school's Christmas party.
In just one year, Ryan had become a celebrity at Empire University.
When it came to the prettiest girl at school, every department refused to back down, each thinking their department's beauty was the prettiest girl at school.
Every vote ended in a close call.
But when it came to the most handsome guy, everyone knew it was Ryan.
Rebecca never expected that just switching dorm rooms would lead to meeting Ryan's girlfriend.
What incredible luck!
"Now I get it—an angel with a kind heart and beautiful soul, that's you!"
Rebecca hugged Lucy's arm, speaking affectionately.
Lucy smiled, about to say something, when someone from the opposite bed called out impatiently, "Are you two annoying or what? It's late at night, are you going to let people sleep or not?"
"Seriously, it's like this every time... Lucy, if you keep bringing random people back to the dorm, we're going to complain to the RA!"
"Exactly!"
One after another, all three of them voiced their complaints about Lucy.
Behind the curtain, Rebecca and Lucy exchanged glances, shrank their necks, and fell silent.
Girls always grow closer through sharing gossip and little secrets.
Not to mention Lucy had rescued her from sleeplessness.
Warmth accompanied by a sense of security, Rebecca hugged Lucy's arm and fell asleep just like that.
Just after seven, alarm clocks went off one after another in the dorm.
Rebecca got up and quickly returned to her own dorm room.
Even in daylight, it still felt eerily scary. Rebecca packed her bag and quickly washed up before heading to the classroom.
After lunch, she went to the classroom to take a nap with her head on the desk.
After school in the afternoon, Rebecca looked toward the dorm building with growing worry.
She wasn't afraid of ghosts!
But she couldn't control her own brain.
All the ghosts from movies she'd watched since childhood crowded into her mind—this one singing, that one standing in a TV screen waving at her saying "I'm so lonely."
If this kept up, she wouldn't be taken away by ghosts, but she'd turn herself into an owl from lack of sleep.
After worrying for a long time, Rebecca's eyes lit up, and she turned to walk toward the school gate.
