As Severo Laris and Engracia approached, Susana winked at them and invited them politely, “Severo, Engracia, why don’t we learn together, it turns out that Paulita and I are having a bit of trouble with our studies and we’d like to ask you for advice.”


    Engracia didn’t like it and said, “That’s not very appropriate. It’s better to study in a library with fewer people, and with four people studying together, it could turn into coffee talk.”


    Susanna smiles, but deep down her teeth grind: this woman has a very deep heart!


    “How is it coffee talk, we don’t have coffee here either! Sister, don’t you want to help us study?”


    With this rhetorical question from Susana, Engracia was not in a position to say anything more.


    Susana, seeing that Engracia had nothing to say, got up and immediately fastened Severo Laris on the seat next to Pa Rouco.


    Pa Rouco: …


    Susana pulled Engracia back to her side of the table and blurted out, “Severo, Paulita sucks at high math, show me, I happen to have some finance questions for Engracia. ”


    Engracia looked at Susana with exasperation, but there was nothing she could do about it.


    Susana stuck her tongue out at her mischievously and asked again pretentiously, “Engracia, are you all right?”


    Engracia looked at Severo Laris and Pa Rouco, who were sitting together, and reluctantly, she pressed her fingers together, “Yes.”


    Pa Rouco could not ignore Severo Laris sitting next to her, saying that Alejandro’s heart was beating faster than ever.


    Severo Laris, however, was light as water, eyes close to his advanced math book and workbook, and asked, rather uncharacteristically, “What problem can’t you do?”


    “This, this course.”


    Pa Rouco pointed to a random line.


    Severo Laris patiently exined, “It’s a simple problem, use trigonometry to solve it …”.


    The smell of grass and sun on his clothes as he approached was fresh and pleasant, and Pa Rouco was so focused on the side of his face that she didn’t hear what he was saying.


    It wasn’t until Severo Laris finished his exnation that she looked up and said, “You got it?”


    “… He gets it, he gets it.”


    The four gazes happened to meet, one calm and deep, the other agitated and disoriented.


    Severo Laris’ eyes, too clear, perhaps because of his studies inw and finance, always seem to see into people’s little minds and make them invisible.


    “I’ll exin again, and you listen carefully.”


    Pa Rouco nodded with a quick “mmmmmmmmmmmmm” and really listened well this time.


    On this side, Engracia often looks up to keep an eye on Severo Laris and Pa Rouco.


    Susana, naturally, noticed her gaze and moved closer, whispering to Engracia, “Engracia, you see how patient Severo is with Paulita, I think Severo has a thing for Paulita, don’t you think?”


    Engracia’s fingers under the table, pinching the palm of her hand, said coldly, “If Severo knew how to fall in love, he wouldn’t have a girlfriend until now.”


    Susana tapped her chin with the tip of her pen, incredulous: “I think it’s because he hasn’t met a girl he likes. Last time Severo even went to a movie night with Paulita, oh yeah, and he took Paulita home for the night, what’s that but honey?”.


    When Engracia heard this, her face turned blue and white as she denied, “That’s impossible, Severo is not that frivolous, how could he bring a girl home for a random sleepover?”


    Maybe she was a little excited and her tone was a little louder, so even Severo Laris could hear her.


    Severo Laris lifted his head and let out a nonchnt, “She’s telling the truth.”


    Engracia bit her lip, which was bloodless.


    Susana raised an eyebrow in triumph, hmmm, Severo Laris himself had admitted it, what did Engracia have to say.


    After exining a few questions to Pa Rouco, Severo Laris stood up and said, “I’m going to get some books.”


    Shortly thereafter, Pa Rouco also got up and said, “I’m going to the bathroom!”.


    Having said that, she ran out.


    Any fool would know that Pa Rouco was not going to the bathroom, but to Severo Laris.


    Engracia scorned, showing contempt in her eyes, “Cowboy!”.


    Susana, biting the pencil and reading, said, “But Severo is delighted that Paulita stays, Engracia don’t eat your grapes.”


    Engracia turned her eyes, looked coldly at Susana and said firmly, “I bet Severo won’t like Pa Rouco. ”


    “…”


    With that, Engracia stood up, picked up her books and walked away proudly.


    Susana muttered from behind, “Severo is with no one but you.”


    What man would like to look like a widow, as if the world owed him millions?


    …


    Among the bookshelves.


    After Severo Laris pulled out a book, a sweet, clear little face was seen between the gaps.


    Pa Rouco was speechless and asked, “When is the second trial in that case your firm handled?”Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    “In five days.”


    “Then I’lle to court and see your trial.”


    Severo Laris looked at her bright smile through the small gap and said, “Not that you need a cheerleader for a basketball game.”


    “… oh.”


    She just wanted more excuses to meet with him, did he really not understand or was he just ying dumb?


    Pa Rouco’s face dropped.


    But she was chasing someone in unrequited love, so what could you do about it.


    So she pulled herself together, leaned over the bookshelf, looked at him and said, “So, when you win the second test, I’ll buy you dinner!”


    “I’m not in the habit of letting women buy me dinner.”


    Another refusal.


    Pa Rouco was really heartbroken: “Severo, don’t you like me at all?”.


    Severo Laris turned sideways, looking at the book in his hand, and tossed out nonchntly, “You know what it is to like me.”


    The tone of voice was more of a lighthearted sneer than a turgid mockery.


    Pa Rouco, out of nowhere, puffed up and ran to him, stood in front of him and said, “Of course I know what gustar is, I’m not three years old.”


    Severo Laris’ eyes darkened and he suddenly closed the book with a snap.


    Before Pa Rouco could react to what was happening to him, the man was already pinned to the shelf, trapped in the tight corner between his chest and that side of the bookshelf.


    When I tilted my head, there was his handsome face, unmistakable in its joy and anger.


    The man’s dark eyes burned as he looked at her, his voice was cold and mocking, “Do you like me? How long can you like me, a month or three months?”


    “…”


    “Pa, don’t mess with me, I don’t have that long to y house with you.”


    He stared at her with a serious, cold determination in his gaze, the words, full of warning.


    There is a gulf between him and her, two worlds after all.


    She was like a supernatural cloud in the sky, and he was poor y.


    The environment she grew up in, her parents, her experiences, her life could not be willful and capricious like her.


    And she is a delicate rose kept in a greenhouse, growing in the sun, a million times brighter.


    Between them, there is only indignity.


    Pa Rouco swallowed saliva, it was the first time she had seen Severo Laris so fierce.


    But Pa Rouco is a girl of the world, and thest thing she needs is bravery.


    Her watery eyes looked at him intently, “Who’s ying with you! I’m serious.”


    She, full of enthusiasm and affection, being treated by him as if she were only ying house, could not help but feel aggrieved, and those big dark eyes that looked at him grew misty, and the corners of her eyes reddened and looked very sad.


    Severo Laris’ face, however, remained cold: “You say you like me, show me how much you like me.”
