"Junior Yuchen, there's a restaurant up ahead serves the best meal. How about going there?"
As Kristia turned around, Su Yuchen quickly responded, "I'll…I'll follow your lead, senior."
"Don't trail behind me as if I'm bullying you."
Hearing that, Su Yuchen hastened his steps, walking alongside Kristia, though he still appeared uncomfortable.
"Also, from now on, call me Senior Tia, understood?"
"Senior Tia….Uh-huh, sure."
Kristia glanced at him, thinking, 'Kid, just see how I get you all figured out, pry out all the secrets you hold!'
What are his secrets?
What's his purpose in coming to the Sky City?
Why does he, at such a young age, possess extraordinary abilities?
And more importantly, why does his blood smell so good for a human male, almost like the blood of a True Ancestor, carrying an inexplicable allure?
"A few dishes at this restaurant are exceptionally delicious; I'll recommend them to you later." Kristia licked her lips, using the allure of 'food' to mask her desire for his blood.
"Also…" She placed her hand on her chest, sounding slightly aggrieved, "Not watching where you're going while walking, you've left me a bit sore."
Su Yuchen quickly averted his gaze that briefly glanced over her chest, lowering his head, refraining from saying another word.
Kristia smiled subtly. Dealing with virgins was too easy. A bit of 'fondness' in conversation, coupled with inadvertent body charm, would certainly heighten his affection for her significantly.
In the end, he'd willingly become her infatuated follower.
"Junior Yuchen, the scores for the Magic Engineering department are the highest at Sky University. How much did you score?"
"I… I just made the cutoff," Su Yuchen said hesitantly, with a slightly troubled expression, as if he fell far short compared to Senior Tia.
"Don't be shy. Just reaching the cutoff is impressive. Many can't even reach that score," Kristia encouraged.
"Senior Tia, you're amazing." Su Yuchen admired her, "I heard that Sky University has a very low acceptance rate for graduate students, but you made it."
"I didn't take the test," Kristia snorted. "I was admitted as a recommended graduate."
"That's even more impressive. Senior Tia, were you admitted to Sky University as the top student?"
"Not really." Kristia patted Su Yuchen's shoulder, "The score upon admission isn't important; what matters is the effort during your undergraduate years. If you work hard, Junior Yuchen, you'll definitely become a graduate student too."
"Do you want this senior sister to teach you some study methods?"
"Really?"
Su Yuchen looked pleasantly surprised. Despite previously telling Xia Yushuang that he wouldn't pursue graduate studies, he now displayed a determined attitude in front of Kristia, aiming to qualify for the graduate program.
"Caring for a junior is what a senior should do." Kristia patted his shoulder again, speaking in an even gentler tone than before.
Su Yuchen looked up and saw maple tree branches barely connected to the trunk but not detached. It looked like they were about to fall but did not.
Spending time with Kristia… Though there was physical contact and conversation, why hadn't any misfortune occurred despite it being imminent? Where was the issue?
"What are you looking at, Junior Yuchen?"
"Just… I think the maple leaves are as beautiful as you, Senior Tia." Su Yuchen mumbled softly, lowering his head.
"Maple leaves are starting to fall… are you saying I'm old?"
"No, I didn't…"
As Kristia withdrew her hand, she straightened her back and accentuated her body's curves. "Old?"
"I… I… I didn't say Senior Tia is old," Su Yuchen averted his gaze, speaking softly.
Kristia smiled. "Just teasing you. Look, your voice has raised a bit compared to earlier."
"Don't refrain from communicating with girls out of fear. By engaging more, you'll get used to it and won't feel so shy in front of them, you know?"
Su Yuchen glanced at her. "But, I'm afraid…"
"In fact, there's an easy way to solve this problem."
"What is it?" Su Yuchen quickly turned to ask.
"Get a girlfriend." Kristia also turned to meet his eyes.
At close proximity, Su Yuchen distinctly smelled a faint fragrance from her, as subtle as her grey skirt—very understated. However, enough to stun him in his current 'virgin' status.
"This is the simplest method~," Kristia flicked his forehead lightly. "Got it, Junior?"
Afterward, she resumed walking.
Why did she say that? Is she hinting that I can pursue her?
It must be that, right?
'Wow… so difficult. Are my acting skills enough to handle this?'
Seeing Kristia didn't look back, Su Yuchen helplessly scratched his head and quietly mumbled, "Acting skills need some work," before catching up.
······
At fifteen past eleven, the bell for the end of the class rang.
"Yushuang, going for lunch?"
"You go ahead."
"Do you want me to save you a seat?"
"No need."
"Okay."
Classmates gradually left the classroom. Xia Yushuang remained seated without getting up immediately.
She chose to wait ten minutes before departing, that time would have the most people at the cafeteria, giving her a 'coincidental' reason to sit and dine together with him.
She believed no one would choose to sit next to Su Yuchen.
Who would share a table with someone like him, who had spilled soup on the table, broken a chair leg, or had a sudden, severe coughing fit?
Moreover, she was sure Su Yuchen wouldn't choose to eat during the crowded lunchtime at twelve.
'After lunch, he'll go back, and I'll go find Tia Yufei for the graduate student card.'
'After the second class in the afternoon, I'll wait for him to finish the class meeting, then go home together and prepare dinner at his place.'
There's a saying, right? To capture a man's heart, you should first capture his stomach.
'What dish should I prepare for tonight?'
After contemplating the menu, Xia Yushuang closed her eyes, slightly wrinkling her cute, petite nose, and then opened them.
"Found you."
Su Yuchen was in the cafeteria.
