Chapter 83


    Riley raised her lips slightly and said proudly, “Didn’t you say before that we would transfer to your


    university? Now that all the transfer procedures have beenpleted, from now on, we will be


    university mates!” Samantha, who was standing by the side, continued, “No. We’re


    actually ssmates! It’s such a coincidence—Riley and I were directly assigned to the same ss as


    you.


    We can go to ss together in the future!” After listening to the two of them, Elise asked incredulously,


    “You two aren’t messing with me, are you?” Samantha and Riley looked at each other and smiled


    before they continued. “Don’t worry! We won’t joke around about something like this.”


    The three of them walked to the ssroom while talking andughing. “Oh, we have to find the head


    lecturer first and only head to the lecture hall after that. Elise, you should go back to the lecture hall


    first! We’ll see youter.” Elise waved the both of them goodbye and then returned to the lecture hall.


    When Mika saw Elise, she quickly greeted her, “Hey, Elise! I just saw you entering the campus with


    two new faces.


    Who are they?” Elise exined, “They are friends of mine. I’ll introduce you to themter.” Mika was


    very curious. “They don’t look like they’re from our university. How did you know them?” Just as Elise


    was about to say something, the head lecturer led Riley and Samantha into the lecture hall, and the


    whole ss became quiet all of a sudden.


    “Everyone, please wee the two newly transferred students from our ss, Samantha Greene and


    Riley Bolton. I hope that in the future, everyone in this ss can help each other out and learn


    harmoniously.” As soon as the lecturer said this, the whole ss suddenly burst into an enthusiastic


    room of apuse.


    Samantha stepped forward with a smile. “Hi, I’m Samantha Greene. Hope we get along well in the


    future.” Riley also followed along. “And I’m Riley Bolton. I’m very happy to join this big family. I hope we


    can be good friends in the future.” The lecturer was very satisfied with their self-introduction, and


    then arranged seats for them—their seats were just behind Elise’s.


    After ss, Samantha and Riley dragged Elise along to chat together. Seeing this scene, Mika felt a


    little ufortable and hurriedly walked over. “Elise, did you know each other from before?”


    Immediately, Elise made a quick introduction. “This is Mika—my best friend.” Samantha took the


    initiative to reach out to Mika.


    “Hello, Mika! Nice to meet you.” Mika stretched out her hand and shook it shyly. “Hello!” Elise


    looked at the two of them together and took the initiative to hook their hands on each side. “In the


    future, we will be a group of four! It’s a pleasure to know you all, and I hope that from now on, we can


    learn together, progress together, and grow together.”


    After hearing this, the other three looked at each other and smiled, and this marked the beginning of a


    newfound friendship. After sses ended in the afternoon, Elise walked out of the campus and saw


    that Matthew was already waiting there. Seeing Eliseing out, he hurriedly greeted her. “Come.


    Hand me your bag.”


    Elise replied politely, “No need. I’m fine.” As she was speaking, she opened the door and got into the


    car. Matthew gave her a meaningful look, and then got into the driver’s seat as well. In the car, Matthew


    initiated the conversation. “I made a reservation for the restaurant at night; it’s a newly opened western


    restaurant.


    I heard that it tastes good, so let’s try it!” Elise only gave a light ‘thank you’ and busied herself with her


    assignment. When they arrived at the destination, Elise’s assignment was already almost done. Seeing


    that they had arrived, she put her books away and got out of the car. This was a high-end restaurant


    with gorgeous decor, but when Elise walked in, she noticed that the restaurant was empty.


    Matthew took the initiative to pull out a chair for her. “Take a seat first. I need to go to the restroom.”


    Elise didn’t think too much of it, and she took out her phone to unlock it, only to see the message from


    Alexander. It wrote. ‘Miss Sare, don’t forget that we start ss at 8.00PM tonight.’


    Elise only realized that it was Monday after reading the message, and that she had to teach Alexander


    Arisian at night. She tapped her fingers on the screen quickly and replied with an OK emoji. As soon as


    she finished replying, Matthew returned to the table. “Elise, do you have any drink or wine that you


    prefer?”


    Matthew asked proactively. Elise only replied lightly, “I’m fine with anything.” Matthew raised his


    eyebrows and said, “You have ss tomorrow, so I won’t order you red wine. How about a ss of


    juice?” Elise replied, “Sure!” When the two of them were together, Elise could clearly feel that the


    atmosphere was a little off, but she couldn’t quite tell what was wrong. Right now, all Elise could think


    about was to finish the meal quickly and go home.

    However, just halfway through the meal, the lights in the huge restaurant suddenly dimmed, which


    startled Elise. “What’s going on?” Matthew reassured her, “It’s nothing. Maybe there’s a power outage.”


    Elise didn’t give it much thought. About five minutester, the lights came on again. At that moment, the


    surroundings changed—the originally empty hall was now filled with red roses and had instantly turned


    into an ocean of rose petals.


    Elise was baffled. What is this? What’s going on? Before she could even bring herself to ask this


    question, Matthew, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly stood up. “Elise, in fact, I’ve been waiting for


    this day for a long time.” Elise was stunned and could only look at him with confusion. Then, she saw


    Matthew walking to one side to pick up a rose bouquet and kneeled directly in front of her on one knee.


    “Elise, I like you!


    I know I may be in a hurry to do this, but I can no longer restrain myself and my heart, which was why I


    chose to confess to you today. Will you be my girlfriend?” Elise blinked, thinking that she was


    hallucinating, but it was all so real in front of her. Elise looked at Matthew, not feeling ttered at all.


    She pursed her lips and asked, “Is this a joke? But today isn’t April Fool’s Day, and your joke is not


    funny at all.” When Matthew heard her say this, his face became even more serious. He was afraid that


    Elise would not believe him. “Elise, I’m not joking. I really like you. Although your appearance is not the


    most outstanding, I ampletely smitten by you for some reason. I hope you can give me an


    opportunity to take care of you. Is that okay?”


    “I’m sorry. I think you’ve made a mistake! Uhh… I actually still have something to do, so I’ll take my


    leave first.” After Elise finished speaking, she got up and nned to leave, but she was immediately


    stopped by Matthew, who held her by her wrist. “Elise, I really like you, so don’t reject me. Okay?”


    Elise pulled her arm back subconsciously. “I’m sorry. I think it’s just too abrupt. Besides, I don’t have


    any romantic feelings for you, so I’m really sorry.” With that, she pushed him away and strode away.


    Matthew wanted to catch up, but as if she was being chased by beasts, she ran as fast as she could—


    in the blink of an eye, she had already ran far away.


    Standing frozen in ce, Matthew looked at Elise, who had already run away, while his gaze turned


    cold. Immediately, he threw the rose bouquet in his hand to the ground and followed after her,


    disregarding her rejection."
