After five hours of driving, the two of them finally arrived in B City.
Because Hazel had too much stuff in the car, Alex found the reason to drive into the campus until they reached Hazel's dorm. Hazel went back to L City with only one small bag but came back to B City with the car full of her stuff.
Earlier, Auntie Edith had filled the car with boxes of snacks. Since the snacks were personally prepared by her Auntie Edith, of course, Hazel would take them all with her. Then, Alex mentioned that his mother had packed a few snacks for her as well.
Hazel looked at the amount of food in the trunk and did not know if she should laugh about it. The elders were so worried that she would not be eating while Hazel was a little worried that she might gain some weight after this.
She had already eaten too much good stuff and gained a little weight after indulging herself in festivity food. Moreover... her Auntie Edith's craft was always good and Hazel was unable to refuse them.
"How do you plan to carry all these?" Alex asked as the two of them stared at the boxes in the trunk.
If only men would be allowed to enter the dorm, Alex would have helped Haze to carry her stuff to her room.
Alex tilted his head up to look at the tall building. He seemed to recall that Hazel had said that her room was on the third floor. Wouldn't she get tired of carrying everything by herself?
As the thought came to his mind, Alex was a little distressed.
"Hold on. I will get someone to help me," Hazel said. She took out her phone and tapped her fingers on the screen. A few seconds later, Hazel flashed a smile to Alex. "My roommates are coming to help."
A few minutes later, two girls were seen walking down the stairs. Hazel called their names and waved the moment she saw her roommates. Just as the two girls were heading towards Hazel, they began to notice a familiar figure behind Hazel and their steps gradually slow down.
Michelle poked at Crystal's waist and whispered, "Don't tell me that is the same person who picked up Hazel before our winter break?"
Crystal nodded and whispered back, "It was him. Last time, Hazel had introduced him to me."
Michelle let out a cursing word. "You're right. He actually looks better in real life." She grabbed at Crystal's arms tightly. "Then, this should be the same person that Hazel was talking about a while ago. That childhood friend who confessed to her?"
Crystal let out a loud gasp. "Why did Hazel still need time to consider him? If I had a childhood friend who is good looking as this man, I'd agree to date him right away!"
The two girls reached Hazel's side and decided to stop their discussion. They glanced at Alex and then at Hazel.
"Alex, these are my roommates," Hazel said. "You remember Crystal."
Alex nodded to Crystal. "Hello."
"Hello. Hello," Crystal greeted anxiously.
"And this is Michelle," Hazel introduced.
The two of them exchanged a polite greeting before Hazel led them to look at the stuff in the trunk. Seeing the number of boxes, the two girls were surprised.
"It will take us two trips to get everything upstairs," Michelle said. She turned to her friend and commented, "Are you sure you are not trying to open up a small snack stall?"
The girls joked around as they helped Hazel to lift the boxes upstairs while Alex waited at his car. When everything was brought upstairs, Hazel walked down alone while her friends tried to watch the situation from the window.
After going up and down the stairs while carrying her stuff, Hazel was a little out of breath. Her chest heaved up and down, her cheek was a little rosy and there were beads of perspiration on her forehead.
Alex watched the woman in front of him in a daze. He snapped out of his trance and pulled out a few tissue papers to help her dry her sweat.
Hazel was totally unprepared when Alex suddenly stretched his hand to dry her sweat. She stared at his hand and lowered her gaze. Her rosy cheek turned into a darker blush.
"I will be in this city for a while. If you encountered any trouble or need any help, you can come to me."
Hazel nodded. "Un. I know."
"Hazel Mo."
"Ah?" Hazel looked up swiftly and her heart skipped a beat as she met his gentle gaze.
"What should I do? I don't think I'm willing to part with you." Alex heaved a sigh knowing that saying those words will only make parting with her a little harder.
"We're going to be in the same city. We can still see each other during the weekend," Hazel said.
A light smile appeared on his lips when Alex heard her words. There were still around two weeks left for Hazel to consider him and finally give him an answer. Alex was a little anxious to know what her answer will be and wished that the time will come soon. Noticing that the way Hazel looked at him had changed, Alex was sure that he would get the answer he wanted. However, this was not the reason for him to slack off.
"I will call you later, alright?"
Hazel nodded again.
"Don't forget to think of me."
Hazel was a little stunned when she heard those words. She continued to stare at him with a dazed expression before he looked away and nodded. "Un. I know."
A light chuckle escaped him. His Hazel was too adorable. The look on her face just now was just like a rabbit caught in the headlights.
Mmm... his little bunny.
The two of them exchanged a few more words. Then, Hazel waved her hands as she watched as his vehicle drive away to leave. Hazel heaved a soft sigh when she could no longer see his car. She raised her hands and placed them on her chest.
At this time, Hazel thought that there was a strange feeling. It felt as if she was not willing to part with him…
Hazel was a little surprised when the thought crossed her mind. She slapped at her cheeks lightly before Hazel went up the stairs slowly.
The moment she entered her room, her roommates were staring at her with a weird glint in their eyes. Hazel thought the way they were looking at her was almost the same as a hungry lion looking at its prey…
Hazel subconsciously took a step back.
"Hazel Mo," Michelle called her name. Her lips stretched up into a strange smile.. "Tonight, you are not getting any sleep until you answer everything we need to know."
