In the next few days, Hazel's friends were surprised that they could not see Alex waiting for Hazel with her breakfast in his hand. Usually, whenever they came down with Hazel, the man would be waiting for Hazel under the tree.  However, these past few days, Hazel would be the one who had to look for Alex after she came down.

"I asked him not to wait for me," Hazel said. "There are always girls who tried to talk with him when he was waiting. Since he did not like it when others tried to approach him, it would be better if he waited in his car and waited for me to go and find him instead."

Michelle nodded. "That's true. It's better if you didn't give them any chance at all. Later who knows what kind of story would pop up in the school's forum."

Hazel turned around. "Why? Is there anything about me on the forum?"

Michelle and Crystal exchanged a glance. 

"Michelle? Crystal?" Hazel raised her brow at them. "Why aren't you guys saying anything?"

Crystal shot a look at Michelle for mentioning this matter. Previously, they had agreed that it would be better if Hazel was unaware of this rumor. Hazel was someone who did not check on the school's gossip forum. It would be better if it stayed that way. They did not want this rumor to affect Hazel in any way. 

Seeing Hazel's probing look, Michelle decided to answer. "Just something about you rejecting the previous guys because you're aiming to date someone with money," 

Hazel was shocked. She glanced at Crystal and knew that Michelle was telling the truth. 

Taking out her phone, Hazel began to scroll the school's gossip forum that she rarely went to. To her surprise, there were a few gossips threads about her. It seemed that the students have been too stressed out with studying that they decided to gossip about her for fun.

Hazel thought that this was amusing. Why would people assume that she would be after Alex's money?

It was at this time that Hazel seemed to realize that there were times when she noticed that others have been looking at her strangely. However, when she first entered the university, she was used to getting those kinds of looks from them and Hazel thought that it would be best if she chose to ignore them.

"Do I look like I'm poor enough that I would choose to date for money?" Hazel asked as she looked at her friends. 

"Of course not," Crystal said. "We have been roommates with you for years. We know that you are not that kind of person."

Both Crystal and Michelle were not clear about Hazel's background. However, they knew that both her parents had passed away and she was living with her uncle. Hazel did not seem as if she came from a loaded family. However, she did not seem as if she was someone who would need money desperately either.

"Alright. Stop looking at that forum. It wouldn't do you any good," Michelle said and smiled. "Your boyfriend is still waiting for you. Go ahead and find him or else, he would be worried."

Hazel turned her head to the direction where Alex had parked his vehicle and went over to find him after parting with the girls. Hazel knocked twice at the window before she sat in the passenger's side. 

Seeing his warm smile when he saw her, the rumors she saw on the forum earlier quickly disappeared from her thoughts. 

"Good morning," Alex said. He glanced at the place where he had seen Hazel chatting with her roommates earlier and asked, "What were you and your roommates chatting about earlier?"

"You saw us?"

"Hmm... I can always find you in the crowd, don't you know?"

Hazel narrowed her eyes and laughed. She thought that Alex was only bluffing. "Nothing. We were just discussing our class."

Alex did not think that it was nothing. Though he was far away, he could still see that Hazel was tensed and upset. However, since Hazel did not want to tell him, he could not force her to tell him anything.

"Are we not going to have breakfast at the cafeteria today?" Alex asked.

"Let's not," Hazel said. "I don't have a morning class today. How about we go out and have breakfast somewhere else?"

Hazel did not want Alex to notice the student's strange gaze and get affected by it. Anyway, Hazel was too lazy to face people who were unrelated to her. 

"Alright." Alex nodded. "I know a good place that served good breakfast around here. How about we try to go to that place?"

"Un. I don't mind."

Hazel held her phone and was about to check on her messages when she noticed that Alex had suddenly come closer. Her eyes widened and Hazel held her breath at the thought that Alex was going to kiss her. 

A few seconds later, Hazel heard a clicking sound and Alex flashed her a  smile.

"Safety first."

It was then that Hazel realized that Alex had helped her to put on her seat belt. At the thought that she has been expecting a kiss from him, her face turned bright red and Hazel did not dare to lift her head and look at him.

The vehicle move and entered the main street. Hazel turned the air-conditioner to face her and her heart gradually calm down. She cast a few glances at Alex and thought that his side profile was quite attractive.

"Don't look at me like that," Alex said. "I'm afraid that I cannot concentrate if you continue to stare at me like that."

Hazel laughed. "It's not like I've never looked at your face in the past."

"This time it's different. This time you are my girlfriend," Alex said and glanced at her. 

Various exciting thoughts came over to her mind as she heard his words. It felt as if being Alex He's girlfriend is a magical thing. Just hearing that word, 'girlfriend' alone could make her heartbeat accelerated.

Hazel bit her lips and lowered her head. She could imagine that the look on her face would be very silly at the moment. She shifted her gaze at the back seat and noticed that her plushy toys were not there. 

"Where are my plushies?"

Alex tightened his grip on the steering wheels. "They are in my apartment. Next time, I'll bring them to you."

"Oh." Hazel did not think too much about it and nodded. "That's right. I forgot to tell you that I'm going back to L City next month. It's… my parents' death anniversary."

"Have you bought your tickets yet?"

Hazel shook her head. "Not yet."

"Good. Then, let's head back together. Anyway, I can help my father to look into a few matters as well." 

"Aren't you busy with your work at the new company?"

"It's fine." Alex smiled. "Daniel is capable enough to handle everything."

Hearing his words, Hazel immediately agreed and the two made a date to head back together to L City.
