Chapter 1758


    The person who spoke was a girl who looked quite adorable.Her hair was up in a bun, and she wore a


    short, pale yellow skirt.She beamed when she sawn turn toward her, waving at him vigorously to join


    her.


    However,n looked away at once.He did not wish to sit next to anyone.


    If it were possible, he would rather sit by himself.


    The lecturer had been wondering where to seatn, so when he saw that, he quickly seized the


    opportunity and went with the flow.


    "In that case, why don''t you sit with Zaylynn?" he suggested.


    Althoughn furrowed his brows, he finally acquiesced.


    By the time he walked over to the empty seat, Zaylynn Neal had already wiped the seat clean and was


    waiting for him.


    "Sit here.I''ve already cleaned it for you."


    He nodded and sat down next to her.


    Seeing that, the other female students could not help sighing regretfully.


    They had thought he would keep his distance from others, not expecting him to be so obedient and


    comply with the lecturer''s suggestion to sit with Zaylynn.


    Whilen unzipped his backpack, Zaylynn asked, "This is the textbook we''re using for this ss.Since


    you''ve just enrolled, have you gotten your books yet? Do you want to borrow mine?"


    She held out a textbook as she spoke.


    He looked up from rummaging through his backpack, his beautiful eyes framed by long eyshes


    ncing at the book in her hand.


    Microeconomics? I didn''t bring that book, but I can do without it for one ss.


    Taking out a pen and a brand new notebook, he ced them neatly on the table.


    Then, he shifted his indifferent gaze toward the front of the lecture hall.


    Zaylynn stared at him wordlessly.He really is cold and aloof.


    Although she felt a little embarrassed as she withdrew her hand, she quickly recovered as if nothing


    had happened due to her cheerful and optimistic disposition.


    Whenever she noticedn furrow his brows at something the lecturer was saying during the ss, she


    would exin it to him kindly and patiently.


    I heard this he''s only seventeen years old.He hasn''t even celebrated his eighteenth birthday yet.


    Based on the university''s usual age requirements for admission, he''d still be in high school.


    But seeing as how he suddenly came here to study, I can''t help wondering whether something


    happened before this.


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    With that thought in mind, she became even more attentive toward him.


    When the ss was finally over, the other students started getting to their feet and leaving.


    But even as Zaylynn watched the others exiting the lecture hall, she showed no intention of leaving.


    Instead, she turned towardn, who was still seated next to her, and took the initiative to speak to him


    again.


    "Since this is your first day here, would you like me to give you a little introduction to our course''s


    sses and schedules?"


    Indeed, that was what he needed.


    I''ve never studied in a formal educational setting, so I need someone to exin things to me so that I


    can better understand my sses and schedule.


    He waited for her to start exining, but to his surprise, she took out her smartphone when she heard


    him agree to let her help him.


    With her WhatsApp open on her phone, she said, "Let''s exchange numbers.I''ll send you the ss


    schedule"


    A hint of disgust shot throughn''s heart instantly.


    He hated it when others tried to get close to him, especially in such a tantly obvious manner.


    Hence, he grabbed his backpack and stood up with a darkened expression.


    Just asn was about to leave, a young man appeared at the door to the lecture hall.


    When he sawn, he quickly asked in a kindly tone, "Are you the new student,n Hayes? I''m Jacques,


    the student council secretary.One of our lecturers wanted me to help you get familiarized with the


    Faculty of Finance.Do you have some time now?"


    "Yes." Jacques smiled.


    "All right, then.Let''s go.Zaylynn, what are you still doing here? You still have a ss after this.Don''t be


    late"


    Jacques reminded Zaylynn as he was about to leave withn.


    Annoyed by his words, her round face flushed.


    What''s up with this new guy? He''s unwilling to let a girl show him around? He only wants some bigshot


    to do it? Furious, she left the lecture hall in a huff.


    Thanks to Jacques’ careful exnation,n finally had a good idea of what he had to do during his time


    at the university and how to schedule his time.


    As they toured the faculty building, Jacques suddenly asked, "I heard from our lecturer that you didn''t


    attend high school.Is that true?"


    "Oh, my! Then you''re—"


    Jacques began.


    "I had some health issues, so my parents had a teachere to the house to teach me"n replied,


    making up an excuse on the spot.
