NovelEnglish"Exercise more, eat lean meats, reduce snacking, and don't stay up late!" Cillian said to Lucy seriously. Lucy smiled. She felt much better after getting her mood ruined by Matthew's mother just now.
"You're hilarious. If it was that easy, I wouldn't be asking you for your weight loss secret." Her words made Cillian blush. "Oh, it's our turn. You're dripping wet, so you should go pay first." Cillian was confused as to why she looked so disheveled, but Lucy nodded like it was nothing.
The yellow dress she wore today was thick enough to not expose her too much even though it was wet. She was just a little cold.

Cillian did not leave after she paid. He kept a proper distance from her while he smiled and joked with her.
He had a gentleness about him. He maintained just the right distance from her so that she would not feel uncomfortable. Lucy was starting to feel much more relaxed.
They strolled around the whole campus while chatting. Cillian talked to her like any other classmate. "How have you been lately?" Lucy instantly felt down when he asked that. She forced a smile and said, "Fine, it's just...' She could not bring herself to continue. Cillian understood that she was uncomfortable talking about it, so he quickly changed the topic. "Life doesn't always go the way we want it to, but it'll pass. Good things will eventually cour way.
"By the way, it's almost noon. Have you eaten? They've added sgreat options in the cafeteria recently. Would you liketo take you there?" Lucy knew that Cillian wanted to cheer her up, so she accepted his kindness. Next, Cillian took her up to the second floor of the cafeteria.
Lucy felt a little guilty. She studied here for a year, so she had long known that the cafeteria had good food. However, it was also twice as expensive as the cafeterias in other schools, and even more so on the second floor.
"How about we eat on the first floor? The second floor is going to cost you a little more. You're still in school, after all." Cillian did not mind at all. "What kind of man would be stingy about money when taking a woman out to eat? We're just in a school cafeteria, not a five-star restaurant.
"Of course, if you'd givethe honor of taking you out to a five-star restaurant, I'd be happy to do so." Lucy was amused.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two of them went to a secluded spot on the second floor of the cafeteria and sat down.
To be frank, the prices here were really high. The students here rarely went up to the second floor unless En they were especially well-off.
The money they spent there would be enough for them to eat out so why spend it at the school cafeteria?
Since not many people were there, Lucy felt at ease. Not only was she eating with Cillian, but she was also wearing a man's coat. Anyone who saw them would think that they were a couple. Even if Matthew was not aware of it, Lucy did not think that it was a good idea. Why did it feel like she was cheating? A sudden pang of guilt hit her, and she wondered what Matthew was up to.
