a bitter look on Lysander's face.
Even the wind seemed to mock Lysander. How ridiculous, his painstakingly bought cake couldn't compete with
that man's mere presence.
Stephanie watched all this silently, a slow smile spreading across her face. Lysander, feeling dejected, sat down
on the steps, slowly eating the strawberry cake piece by piece. The overly sweet taste made him almost
nauseous. Stephanie timely offered him a cup of tea. "It really is you, | heard that one of the two most handsome
boys at our school was sitting on the field, so | cto see."
Lysander took the cool tea. Although he hadn't interacted much with Stephanie lately, they were familiar due to
Orson's intermediation, and they were friends by association.
"Thanks, but what's this about two of the most handsboys?" Lysander asked, puzzled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStephanie casually sat next to the strawberry cake, picking up a strawberry and popping it into her mouth. "You
and Orson, huh? The eSports master, the future star of the financial world, the ideal boyfriend inheriting a
trillion-dollar fortune, plus you two always stick together-many people are shipping you two as a couple."
Lysander frowned. "What nonsense?"
"You clearly don't frequent the school's campus forum. | knew this from my first day here, and the top-liked post
on the campus network is about you and Orson playing basketball at the sports field."
While Stephanie was speaking, she pulled up the campus network on her phone and showed it to Lysander,
"There are quite a few girls here who would confess to you if they didn't think you were already taken."
Choking on his iced tea, Lysander managed to sputter out, "There's nothing between us. If anything, he's my
rival, has been in the past and still is now."
Seeing Lysander's flushed face, Stephanie couldn't help but laugh. "I know, both of you are straight as arrows.
We're just intrigued, and many still harbor crushes on you."
The word 'crush' seemed to deflate Lysander's spirit instantly. Crushes, those were painful. No amount of
strawberry cake could cure that kind of heartache.
Stephanie clearly understood Lysander's feelings; she had been observing everything very closely. Tina, that
high-level green tea bitch, was just like Grace, a peacock fluttering her feathers everywhere.
"What's the matter? Got something on your mind? If you like, | can be your confidant," Stephanie said with a
gentle smile to Lysander.
At that moment, Lysander, deeply troubled, desperately needed someone to talk to, regardless of who it was.
"I've been in love with a girl for many years. She's been my whole youth, but she doesn't loveback, and she
already has a fiancé." Lysander hung his head in despair, "I don't know how to make her notice me. It feels like
she's no longer mine."
She was never yours, Stephanie thought to herself, scoffing internally at Lysander's self-cast role as the lovelorn
second male lead.
You're great, but Jared is better.
Though Stephanie mocked him internally, she maintained her role as a supportive sister on the outside.
"Actually, all this is just what you think. You've never confessed to her, have you? If you did, who knows whose
favor she might return. Women like to keep men guessing. If you don't act seriously, you'll really lose her."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLysander looked puzzled. "I don't understand. Are you saying she knows | like her and is just waiting forto
say something? But she already has a fiancé."
"So what? If she didn't like you, would she meet with you? A fiancé is just a label, nothing is final until marriage.
You're not breaking up a relationship, just finding your true love."
Listening to Stephanie, Lysander sat up, "How did you know we met?"
"You, a big guy, carrying around strawberry cake? And you ate it so fervently; obviously, it was for a girl. Really,
who is she? Is she from our school? Do you need help?"
Lysander waved his hand, "No need, I'll handle it myself."
"Alright then, I'm seeing Tina tomorrow about treating my face, so | probably won't have tto help you,"
Stephanie shrugged.
"Tina?"
"Yes, Tina. She agreed to treat me. I'm really grateful, and it would be even better if she could forgive my past
actions. Lysander, | heard you're Tina's apprentice. Can you help me? | just want her to let go of our past
grievances, for Aunt Marie's sake too."
Lysander thought for a moment, "Alright, where are you getting treated tomorrow? I'll cby."
"Really! Thank you," Stephanie feigned excitement, but a dark glint flashed across her eyes.
