From the spot he stood, Alex could immediately spot Hazel in the crowd.
At this time, Hazel was walking out of the university gate with her roommate. His eyes brightened and he was about to raise his hand and wave at her when he saw a male student stopped in front of her.
The male student spoke something to Hazel and she stared back at him with a poker face.
His eyes darkened and a frown appeared on his face when he saw the male student was blocking his vision.
"Looks like someone is here to confess to Goddess Mo again. Damn. Isn't that the basketball captain, Kevin Xu?"
"Un. Un. This time, another high-profile candidate decided to confess! Do you think that she will accept?"
"I bet that man is going to be disappointed. The last time, the campus heartthrob, Evan Yu had confessed to her during that festival. It was such a big move. In the end, he was rejected, right? This time, I think Captain Xu is going to get rejected as well."
A sighed was heard. "What kind of person do you think she liked? Do you think she prefers woman instead?"
"What's the matter? Don't tell me you wanted to try and pursue Goddess Mo?"
The girls beside him had spoken in hushed voices, but Alex could still hear them loud and clear. From the girl's words, Alex was able to gather some information, for example, this was not the first time that someone had confessed to Hazel.
Although he was confident that Hazel was not going to accept that man's confession, Alex had a sense of crisis.
At this time, Alex was silently hating that they were not born in the same year, or at least take the same course in the same university. If only he was close to her all the time, he would certainly help her to swat those flies away.
Previously, he could still do that when they were in the same school. However, once he entered university, their chance to see each other began to lessen. Then, Hazel moved to another city to study and the two of them were separated with such a long distance between them.
It was only until recently that Alex had moved to B City. His friends wanted to kick start a company. Alex had decided to invest in them and suggested them to start in B City. As that friend was originally from B City, of course, he quickly agreed. It took them a while and finally, they were able to start the company in B City.
As the investor, Alex chose not to be involved too much in the company. The only reason he had agreed was to build his chance to get close to Hazel. Whenever Hazel was in B City, of course, he will be around. Whenever she went back to L City, of course, he will follow her.
Alex continued to watch the scene in front of him. Just as the girls had predicted, the male student who had stopped Hazel in front of the gate was rejected.
Hazel continued to walk forward with her roommate, leaving the male student behind with a dejected expression. After a few steps, that male student suddenly raised his head and went over to Hazel.
Kevin Xu was not very happy that he was rejected. He was aware that Hazel Mo had rejected a lot of guys, however, he had thought that Hazel had liked him. After all, Hazel would often show up at the basketball court to watch their basketball practices.
He had thought that if he gave his confession in front of others, Hazel would at least give him some face and agreed. He did not think that he would be mercilessly rejected!
Kevin put a hand on Hazel's shoulder, wanting to force her to turn around and demand a reason why she would not give him a chance.
However, he did not expect that in one swift move, Hazel had tugged at his wrist, and suddenly, his hand was pinned behind his back. Kevin gritted his teeth and cursed as he bore with the pain.
"I don't like it when people touch me," Hazel warned him. Seeing that sweat had trickled down his face, Hazel quickly pushed him away.
Kevin glanced at his surroundings and noticed the way everyone was looking at him. His face grew red with embarrassment as he did not expect that Hazel would be able to make such a move on him. Shooting a dangerous look towards Hazel, Kevin then chose to leave the scene before he would experience another embarrassing situation.
"Are you alright?" Crystal Mao, Hazel's roommate, asked. Her voice laced with worry.
Hazel narrowed her eyes towards the direction where that male student had disappeared to. She took out a wet wipe and wiped her hand thoroughly. She did not even know who that person was, and was not interested to know him. Therefore, Hazel could not understand why he would force her to give him a chance.
Initially, Hazel had planned to let him leave without causing a commotion. He did not expect that he would try to act rough with her. Just now, the way he had gripped her shoulder was a little strong.
A soft sigh escaped her as Hazel thought of her slow reflex.
"I'm fine," Hazel answered. She threw the wipes into the trash can and smiled at her friend. "Don't worry. Come on. Didn't you say that you needed to catch a train? Why don't you go first?"
It was the beginning of winter vacation and most of the students are leaving to return to their hometown.
"What about you?" Crystal asked.
"Don't worry. Someone will come over and pick me up later." Hazel took out her phone and started to draft out a message. However, before she could send out the text, Hazel heard someone called out her name.
"Hazel Mo!"
When she lifted her head, Hazel found that Alex was walking over towards her. Her eyes brightened and a smile bloomed on her face.
The passerby turned their head the moment they heard someone called out Hazel's name. When they saw that a man was walking over towards her, their curiosity perked up and they could not wait to see what will happen next.
Everyone was betting that this man would receive Hazel's cold treatment just like the other guys have.
However, to their surprise, Hazel had grabbed her bag and stride over to the man.
"Alex! How long have you been here?"
The others who were eavesdropping on their conversation were shocked to know that the two seemed to know each other. Suddenly, they started to pay attention to this newcomer, and gossip that Hazel Mo's boyfriend was someone not in the same university spread out among the students.
"I just got here," Alex whispered. He glanced at the bag on her shoulder and raised a brow. "Is that all you're taking home?"
"Un." Hazel nodded. "This is enough. I don't need to pack up too many things. I have everything I need at home."
"Come on. We should go now before the traffic turned heavy."
"Hold on. Let me introduce you to my roommate." Hazel turned to her roommate who was staring at the two of them with her eyes wide. "Alex, this is Cristal Mao, my roommate. Crystal, this is Alex He. My best friend."
Alex's eyes darkened slightly at the introduction. He turned to Hazel's friend and the two of them exchanged polite greetings.
"Crystal, do you need a lift to the station?" Hazel asked.
Crystal glanced at Alex and noticed his cold eyes. Quickly, Crystal shook her head. "No. It's fine.. I already called a driver to pick me up."
