The man couldn’t help leaning forward, holding Cecilia Vaughn’s slightly dazed face, and leaving a deep kiss on the girl’s lips.

"Cecilia... Why do I feel like I’m already starting to miss you..."

This is still at the back entrance of the high school!

And Cecilia Vaughn is also a student at Stellerton First High. Though she rarely comes here now, what if the school’s teachers still recognize her?

Even if it’s not someone familiar, being caught by a stranger is quite embarrassing.

...

The girl’s cheeks flushed, and she hurriedly slapped the man’s arm in playful complaint.

"You’re such a sweet-talker, alright alright, it’s not like I’m not coming back. Be good, if you really miss me you’d better have a good meeting and come home early after the meeting is over."

"Okay, you too, Cecilia."

The man approached again, wanting to steal a kiss on Cecilia Vaughn’s cheek, but this time Cecilia was much more alert than before and dodged directly.

The man felt helpless inwardly.

"Cecilia, is that really necessary..."

"Absolutely necessary! You made me angry last night."

"How do I remember that last night someone kept grumbling about not wanting, but was actually very honest?"

"..."

How could he shamelessly talk about such things in public!

Even though Adrian Law spoke vaguely, Cecilia Vaughn’s blush quickly spread to her neck.

"You’re shameless! Go away, go away, you’re not welcome here anymore!"

The school is considered a place of discipline, and even if Cecilia Vaughn and Adrian Law haven’t stepped into Stellerton First High’s gate, she felt like a student secretly dating and getting caught by a teacher.

Uh... although back then, she and Tyson Law were recognized as a couple at Stellerton First High. Being dubbed as campus queen and king sounded fitting, plus both were academic stars and had family backgrounds, teachers didn’t dare to provoke, so they were happy to see them together.

There was even a time when Cecilia Vaughn publicly held hands with Tyson Law, walking under the cherry blossom trees, but the teacher pretended not to see. Some students went to complain to the teacher asking why other students had to be criticized for dating while Cecilia Vaughn and Tyson Law didn’t.

The official answer was oddly amusing.

They said as long as both the guy and girl could always rank in the top ten in every exam like Cecilia Vaughn and her partner, it’s fine.

That left those secretly dating to give up directly.

Doesn’t this just poke the heart?

Both were in the top ten, Cecilia Vaughn and Tyson Law already occupied one or two, which left eight seats for four pairs. For that to happen again is truly a pipe dream.

...

Perhaps because teachers and parents at the time were too lenient, while in her student years, Cecilia Vaughn didn’t feel the heart-thumping and shy fear, but now standing here with Adrian Law, she surprisingly experienced it.

Of course, Cecilia Vaughn was too embarrassed to bring up those old stories, since Adrian Law was a real jealous type; if she talked about it, she’d surely be punished into tears.

In fact, even standing at Stellerton First High suddenly reminded her of Tyson Law, she didn’t feel any anger or sweetness, just as if it was a pure water from a previous life unrelated to her, while Adrian Law is the one who can stir her heart.

Perhaps, this is the feeling of encountering true love.

Past events, like fog and smoke.

"Adrian, I’m leaving."

"Alright."

The two bid a reluctant farewell, seeing Tyson Law get into the car and disappear around the corner of the school, Cecilia Vaughn then obediently turned around.

Cecilia Vaughn carrying the items Adrian Law gifted, had already reached the back gate of Stellerton First High, but at the last moment, she suddenly realized she didn’t prepare anything for Evan Vaughn because Adrian Law mentioned he’d bring gifts.

Uh... seems like she’s been an incompetent sister.

Her brother-in-law gave her a big hint, maybe she should provide some nice treats and drinks for the hardworking senior Evan?

Thinking this, Cecilia Vaughn noticed the fruit shop across the street was open.

So she chose to turn around and enter the fruit shop, picked a box of cherries, and bought a box of blueberries and plums, hoping Evan Vaughn would eat them to benefit his eyes.

Seniors tend to overuse their eyes while studying.

Although Evan Vaughn wasn’t nearsighted yet, nowadays, those who aren’t are the minority.

Even Cecilia Vaughn felt her own vision worsened from staring at the computer all day drawing "There are branches on the mountain."

...

Thinking this, Cecilia Vaughn heard the fruit shop’s female owner speak to her in a bold manner.

"Young girl, you look so radiant. Today these fruits are half price for you, you can pick more."

Cecilia Vaughn wasn’t new to receiving discounts due to her looks, but she habitually declined, and most of the special treatment came from males.

Seeing the female fruit shop owner with her exuberant smile, Cecilia Vaughn teased back.

"Madam, won’t your business lose money this way? What if I decide to take half the store?"

"I believe young girls aren’t that greedy."

"Haha... who knows."

Faced with significant benefits, how many would choose to give up?

Of course, Cecilia Vaughn believed if she really did that, the shop owner wouldn’t fulfill her promise; after all, everyone has their limits.

"No need for discounts, it’s hard-earned money for you too."

Saying this, Cecilia Vaughn threw down a few hundred-yuan bills and floated away, giving an extra seventy or eighty yuan. Though not dramatically overboard, it was truly the first time the shop owner saw someone add extra in all her years of business.

"Young girl, you gave too much..."

The fruit shop owner tried to stop Cecilia Vaughn, but hesitated as there were no other customers in the store and couldn’t chase her outside.

Just as the owner was lamenting what a kind person Cecilia Vaughn was, she saw Cecilia gleefully walking to the roadside with the fruits, only to be whisked into an unlicensed speeding Volkswagen car!

"???"

The shop owner was dumbfounded.

Shocked by their actions.

Do they know that beautiful young girl?

No, even if they do, wouldn’t be so brazen to grab someone off the street, right?

Because of the visual blind spot, the woman couldn’t see clearly how Cecilia Vaughn was pulled onto the car so quickly.

...

Recalling similar reports she had seen on the news before, such as abducting female college students to sell them to hillbillies as brides, the shop owner grew more frightened the more she thought.

She quickly called the police.

She regretted not asking for the young girl’s WeChat.

What to do?!

The bad timing couldn’t be worse, the surveillance at the school’s back gate was broken these days!

The young girl mentioned she was buying food for her brother.

That meant Cecilia Vaughn’s brother was studying at the school.

But who would be her sibling?

The woman was anxious, ultimately deciding to report to the police directly.

"Hello, is this 110? Hi, I want to..."
