Patting him on his shoulder, she praised him, “I admire your courage,


    Jared. I didn’t know that you were actually this manly.”


    Unconvinced by her weak praise, Jared yelled, “Dixon, get a leash on your girlfriend and ask her to


    mind her words! What does she mean


    ‘actually’? I’ve always been manly, okay?”


    Dixon merely smiled and pushed his sses up the bridge of his nose.


    Then, he said in a calm voice, “Kasie. Kristina. You two needn’te along. Jared and I will go with


    Tomboy.” Dixon was born in a small vige and had lived there before he hade to the university.


    He was used to the hard life in the vige, so it wasn’t a big deal for him to spend a few days in the


    Southon Vige.


    With an apologetic look, Kasie patted Debbie on her hand and said in a mock serious tone, “Tomboy,


    as your best friend, I know that I should share weal and woe with you. However, this is a hardship


    you’re begging to be in, so I’m not going to share it. Take care of yourself.”


    Debbie shrugged. She didn’t mind. She had no intention of making Kasie and Kristina go with her.


    “I’ll be okay with Jared and Dixon. The two of you can enjoy your winter vacation in peace.”


    After their discussion, Dixon wrote their names on the list, signing up for the activity. There were fifteen


    students who were taking part in the project in total, and four of them were from Debbie’s ss.

    Intrigued, Debbie looked at the fourth name-Gregory.


    “Gregory…’ she pondered. ‘Isn’t that the docile boy who took me back home when I was drunk that


    night?


    He looks like an indoor type. Why would he be interested in going to the Southon Vige?‘


    She quickly scanned the ssroom and her eyes met Gregory’s.


    Gregory flustered as they made eye contact. In a split second, he lowered his head and pretended to


    read his book. His face flushed bright red, but Debbie was too busy to notice it. She was marveling at


    his good-looking face. She pictured how charming Gregory would be if he dressed up Like a hero in a


    historical soap opera. A lot of girls would fall for him.


    “He is such a handsome young boy. He should be staying in a big city.


    Why would he want to go and do charity in Southon Vige?’


    Unable to hold back her curiosity, Debbie decided to go and ask him directly.


    As she walked up to the row of seats in front of Gregory, she gestured to the girl in the seat and she


    immediately moved to another seat, making room for Debbie. Debbie casually sat down in front of


    Gregory and asked outright, “Gregory, are you going to go to Southon Vige too?”
