Severo Laris and Paula Rouco arrived in the dining hall, attracting a lot of stares and gossip among the students.
“Isn’t that Severo, the third-year academic god?”
“That cute leggy girl next to him is his girlfriend? She’s really hot.”
“Isn’t Engracia Severo’s real girlfriend?”
“How can a woman like Engracia, who is too proper, be more interesting than a moe girl.”
…
Paula Rouco’s soft lips, hearing those insignificant words, curved with some pride.
Engracia is not the real girlfriend of Severo Laris, she is!
They were in line for the food and in the crowd, Severo Laris looked down and asked her in a low voice: “Do you really eat this?”.
Paula Rouco nodded vigorously, “That’s what I’m going to take. Besides, it’s not good for your health to dine too well, lately I’ve been snacking too much and gaining weight. I’m planning to lose weight with Analeigh. ”
“It’s not allowed.” Severo Laris immediately frowned.
Paula Rouco smiled at him, “So, if I put on too much weight, you won’t like me?”
Severo Laris raised his hand and curved his fingers to caress her bare forehead, “What a silly question.”
She smiled sweetly at him and wrapped her arms around his waist in a clinging manner.
Severo Laris is not a man who likes to be maudlin in front of people and in public. The man unconsciously looked around, there were a lot of people and he repressed the slight smile that seemed to be on his lips as he gently pushed the girl in his arms away.
“Too many people, watch out for the impact.”
He spoke softly, his voice was magnetic and gravelly, his vocal line was very pleasant.
So the words rang out to Paula Rouco, without the little face deliberately rubbing in his arms, then rising to look at him stubbornly and arrogantly, “Not me, you’re mine, let everyone know I’m your real girlfriend, not an Engracia. ”
These words delighted Severo Laris.
Until a student in the back said, “Class, move forward, you’re almost there.”
Paula Rouco immediately turned around with a little red face and walked to the front row of the lunch.
Severo Laris followed with a slight smile and teased, “I thought you were trapped in my arms and wouldn’t come out.”
Paula Rouco: … It’s just that you have very thick skin!
…
After dining with Severo Laris, Paula Rouco, who had just returned to the shelter, was immediately cornered.
She was pinned in a chair by Buena and roasted.
“Paulita, how on earth did you manage to take Severo? Tell me about it.”
Paula Rouco smiled back and said, “Stalker.”
Buena frowned incredulously, “You’re not the only girl in the whole school who has been stalking Severo, you must have used some unusual tactic, otherwise how could Severo have agreed to go out with you when he hasn’t had a single girlfriend in all his years at Imperial College? ”
Paula Rouco couldn’t quite understand it either, “Maybe it’s just that I have a thick skin.”
After nagging him for so long and having his back turned so many times, she persevered.
“There are a lot of thick-skinned people out there, you’re not the only one.”
Buena folded her arms thoughtfully and, after a few moments, she came over in an uproar and asked in a whisper, “Paulita, you didn’t already sleep with Severo, did you?”
Paula Rouco, who hadn’t experienced anything, didn’t react for a moment and looked at Buena with wide dark watery eyes, “What is that?”
“That’s it, you’re playing the fool with me, aren’t you, making love. ”
Those two words made her little face turn red instantly and she looked at Buena angrily, “What are you talking about, we’re not there yet!”.
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true!”
Analeigh laughed, “Buena, if you ask Paulita for experience, you better do it yourself. If you ask Paulita, you won’t get anywhere. I think Severo was already interested in Paulita, otherwise how could Paulita have caught up to Severo with her slow turtle moves?”
Paula Rouco grunted softly and lifted her little face, “That’s a form of perseverance on my part, okay?”
…
Paula Rouco showered and climbed into bed.
The phone rang and it was Angelo calling.
“Hello, Angelo.”
Angelo asked ponderously, “Paulita, I said why haven’t you been in touch with me lately, are you seeing anyone else out there?”
Paula Rouco unconsciously swooned, “No, haven’t you been in touch with me lately?”
“I was waiting to see when you would get in touch with me, I always initiate contact with you, I need comfort too ok?”
Paula Rouco held the phone to her ear with one hand and rubbed her neck with the other. “I just started the school stage, certainly a lot has happened lately and I still have to get used to it.”
Angelo immediately asked nervously, “You didn’t get uncomfortable going from The Holy City to Imperial did you?”
“That’s not true, I’m pretty fit and I’ve put on a pound.”
“You’re so skinny, you’ll stay skinny even if you gain five kilos. By the way, you’re going back to La Ciudad Santa for the National Holiday in November, right?”.
Paula Rouco nodded, “Well, I’m definitely going back, if nothing else. If I don’t go back, my mother will be mad at me. When my mother does, my father will lecture me. I don’t want my father to educate me.”
“Then I’ll stay at The Holy University and I won’t go back to Imperial, I’ll pick you up at the airport when you get to The Holy City ah. O … I’ll fly straight to Imperial and then come back to The Holy City with you. ”
Hearing this, Paula Rouco couldn’t help but think that it would be nice if Severo Laris could do that.
Although she had no intention of blaming Severo Laris, she felt a little disappointed that Severo Laris would not return with her to The Holy City.
“No, it’s too tiring for you to fly back and forth like that, besides Prince Gu you have money, you can’t spend it like that, money for a round trip ticket between two cities isn’t bad, don’t throw it away, it’s not like I can’t go home myself.”
“Well… okay, but when you get to the airport, be sure to call me, I’ll pick you up, and while I’m at it I’ll stop by your house for lunch. Wouldn’t you know it, the food at the university dining hall is so horrible, I almost throw up from ordering takeout every day.”
“You’re very picky.”
“That’s right.”
Paula Rouco ran out of words and Angelo was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone.
After a while, Angelo’s voice suddenly dropped, a change from his earlier slurred tone, “Paulita, don’t you have anything else to tell me?”
Paula Rouco seemed to ramble a bit and replied absently, “No, what’s the matter, have you been experiencing unhappiness lately?”
“Of course not. It’s just that … miss you.”
“You still miss me, Holy College is full of pretty girls, I’m sure you’ve forgotten about me.”
Angelo was quick to say in a proper voice, “How can that be, those girls aren’t as pretty as you.”
Paula Rouco was stunned to hear this and then asked, “Angelo, what’s wrong with you today?”.
Wasn’t he the one who used to pull her hair every day and call her a snotty ghost and a clown?
“How is it wrong in the head for me to give you a compliment?”
“You are, normal Angelo, the one who undermines me.”
And, from childhood to adulthood, how many times had she cried to him as a little girl, falling into Estrella Berrocal’s arms, crying and screaming at him to stop dating the heavy Angelo, but every time she stopped talking to him for real, he’d come back to hang up in front of her.
Just as she was about to hang up, Paula Rouco suddenly spoke up and asked, “By the way, Angelo, did you … had a relationship in college?”
Angelo, over there, raised his eyebrows, his heart felt somewhat comforted and pleased, this girl, she will finally care about her love life, she must not be afraid that she will have a girlfriend in school and not care about her, right?
The more you think about it, the more relieved you feel.
