The final exams were just around the corner. The usual happy, easy-going atmosphere around the college disappeared. Diana could see that the study rooms and the library were crowded with students preparing for their exams.
Likewise, Diana had no choice but to go to the study room. And the person who was with her repeatedly during this period was her senior, Kyle. He would come to Diana’s dormitory to go to class together, and they worked hard preparing for their exams.
Brian had long known of this arrangement. It made him mad when he thought about Kyle waiting for Diana every day by her dormitory.
One day, Ken walked in and said, “Boss, Kyle went to Miss Anderson’s dormitory again yesterday.” He had repeated the same news for three days. He didn’t understand why Brian ordered him to inform him since it was always the same news.
Brian frowned and stood up. “It cannot be this way. She just chose to ignore what I said!”
He had told her that she shouldn’t see Kyle anymore. And now she went to class with him every day! Brian got angrier and angrier, thinking about it.
He took out his phone and called Diana.
“Hello? What’s wrong?” Diana’s confused voice came to his ears through the phone.
“Diana. Be at my place within half an hour, don’t be late.” Brian said coldly.
“Why?” Diana was stunned by his strange order. “I am preparing for my final exams. Can’t you give me some time?”
“Give you some time? Do you forget that you signed a contract? You are my physician. And I am your one and only patient. Now I am asking for your help. Shouldn’t you act responsibly and come over?”
Brian was always able to explain away his irrational behavior while Diana was no good at expressing herself. Actually, she didn’t want to go to his house at all. Alas, she had no choice but to change her plans and go to see Brian.
Standing in the breeze, Kyle was waiting for Diana outside her dormitory, as had become their habit during the exam preparation period.
With his talent for studying, Kyle didn’t need to prepare for the exams in this way. He just wanted to take this chance to spend time with Diana.
But today, something was wrong. Kyle had been waiting under her dormitory for quite a while. Many students passed him, and none of them was the girl he was waiting for.
Was she ill or occupied by something else? Kyle was worried about Diana. When he was about to go in and find her, he saw Diana’s roommates coming downstairs. Antonette walked down the stairs with several girls.
“Antonette.” Kyle waved at them.
Seeing Kyle was calling her, the other girls were surprised.
“God! How did you get to know Kyle Norton? He is the best student in our college!”
“Yeah! Kyle is smart and handsome. And I heard that his family is rich. But he doesn’t tell anyone.”
“Antonette! How did you become familiar with him? He waits for you by your dormitory, how cute! Have you known each other for a long time?”
The girls were envious of Antonette and asked Antonette one question after another.
Antonette had no idea why Kyle called her. But standing among the girls, she acted as if they were intimate friends.
“You guys go ahead. I’ll go with him.”
The girls’ jealous expressions made Antonette quite pleased. She combed her long, straight hair and walked slowly and elegantly over to Kyle.
She smiled gently and said, “Kyle, what’s wrong? Were you looking for me?”
Kyle watched her slow movements impatiently, then abruptly asked, “Is Diana ill? Why hasn’t she come downstairs?”
Hearing Diana’s name, Antonette stopped, and her smile froze. Diana! Diana! Diana! Were all these men blind?
Antonette was like a dangerous snake, poised to attack. But she managed to stay calm, “Diana left early this morning. She’s probably already at the library.”
“She went there alone?” Kyle frowned.
“Yes. She never used to study much before. So she is quite nervous these days,” Antonette answered. “Don’t worry, Kyle, I can take you to her.” Thinking of Kyle’s help at the party, Antonette wanted to get to know him better.
Viewing Antonette as nothing more than Diana’s friend, Kyle nodded in agreement.
Kyle was like an idol at their college. Not only was he a genius, but he also had a gorgeous face and a unique personality. Besides, it was said that Kyle was born into a rich and powerful family. But he never boasted about that. All these things made him the college’s resident “Prince Charming.”
On the way to the library, Antonette could feel that girls passing by were jealous of her. She knew that they all envied her. She had never experienced this kind of feeling.
As they continued walking, they met one of Kyle’s classmates. Seeing Kyle walking side by side with Antonette, he shouted jokingly, “Kyle! You dirty dog! You found such a beautiful girl and never introduced her to us!”
He looked at them and continued, “I thought you would always be single; no time for girls. But you went and found this beauty! Well done! You two look good together!”
Antonette blushed and waved her hands immediately. “No. You’ve got it wrong. We are just friends.”
Kyle’s classmate thought she was just too shy to admit their relationship.
“It’s okay. Kyle is handsome, but he is terrible at relationships.”
Antonette’s face turned redder. She lowered her voice and explained, “No. You’ve really misunderstood.” She glanced quickly at Kyle, still pretending to be shy and secretive. The friend laughed at her awkwardness and left them to it.
After being seen together like this, already many people in the college thought they were a couple. But as they walked through the library searching for Diana, Kyle didn’t notice a thing. He was focused on looking for Diana and had no mind to notice anything else.
“Didn’t you say Diana is in the library?” Kyle asked.
“Well…” Antonette hesitated and answered, “Maybe she got bored. You know Diana. She probably left already to go and do something fun.”
Hearing that, Kyle was unwilling to stay in the library either. He had only come there for her.
Seeing he was about to leave, Antonette called out his name, nervously. “Kyle!”
“What?” Due to his bad mood, Kyle’s voice had none of its usual cheeriness.
Antonette blushed and uttered, “Kyle. Thank you for your help at the party the other day. This is your handkerchief. I had it cleaned.”
Antonette took out a well-decorated paper box with Kyle’s handkerchief inside.
If Antonette hadn’t mentioned it, Kyle would already have forgotten he had given it to her. He was about to refuse. But as Eva was Diana’s roommate, he just couldn’t say the word “No.”
So, under Antonette’s expecting watch, Kyle held the paper box and politely accepted her gesture.
Students sitting beside Antonette in the library all saw her give Kyle this gift. They wished they knew Kyle well enough to give him presents.
However, Kyle still wore a cold face. “I am actually quite busy today. I have to go,” Saying that, Kyle walked out of the library, and as he passed by a rubbish bin outside, he threw the paper box into it.
