Hearing this, the boys standing nearby exchanged subtle glances with the girl.
So, all this ti, was this girl asking for directions just to flirt with their senior brother?!
"Yes, our Senior Brother Seys doesn’t have a girlfriend!" one of the boys deliberately raised his voice to tease.
Arlo Seys furrowed his brows slightly, looking straight ahead, not saying a word.
The girl took a breath and threw out, "With that personality, having a girlfriend would be a miracle!", then turned and left.
Her white dress fluttered, pure and innocent, her steps calm and composed.
"..."
So this junior was asking questions not to pursue but to... mock?
The boys were left in disarray.
Arlo Seys also paused, watching the girl’s departing figure.
Such an innocent and lovely person, yet she hides a sharp tongue and a sly side.
Arlo Seys chuckled softly.
Later, Arlo Seys discovered that at their first encounter, Ariel Morris’s sharp tongue and wit were only at 0.000001% of their full power!

In the hospital room, Arlo Seys recalled his own smile when he watched Ariel Morris leave. Under the early autumn sunshine, it was so pure and beautiful, without any impurities, making him, now numb and indifferent, nostalgic.
Back then, just one glance at Ariel Morris made his heart skip a beat.
Arlo Seys ca back to his senses.
Looking at the still-unconscious Ariel Morris on the hospital bed, his eyes held a trace of coldness that soon turned to helpless irony, as he left the room.

Not knowing how long she had slept, Ariel Morris slowly awoke to find herself in an unfamiliar room, seemingly a hospital room, with the sky outside already pitch black.
Supporting herself, Ariel Morris slowly sat up against the pillow.
The pain in her stomach had eased a lot, and she surveyed the hospital room, recalling the mont before she fainted.
She rembered dialing soone in her contacts list before passing out, but in the midst of unbearable pain, she hadn’t seen clearly whose number she had called...
Ariel Morris glanced at the bedside table, where her phone lay quietly.
Picking up her phone, just as she was about to check her call history, a nurse happened to walk in.
"You’re awake?" the nurse asked with a smile, while changing her IV.
Ariel Morris nodded, "Excuse , do you know who brought to the hospital?"
The nurse smiled at her, "A gentleman, and quite a handso one at that. Is he your boyfriend? He just left not too long ago."
Ariel Morris smiled faintly, her eyes dim, "Maybe just a kind-hearted person, I don’t have a boyfriend."
Just as Ariel Morris finished speaking, the door to the hospital room swung open.
Hearing the noise, Ariel Morris looked towards the doorway.
The mont their eyes t, both of their emotions were hard to decipher.
The nurse glanced at the person standing at the door, then playfully whispered to Ariel Morris on the bed, "Your IV is changed. Miss, if you don’t have a boyfriend, you might want to consider this benefactor who saved you. He’s quite the handso one! Don’t miss out~"
After teasing, the nurse tactfully left to give them so space.
Arlo Seys withdrew his gaze, carrying a bag, and walked into the hospital room expressionless.
Ariel Morris’s eyes filled with surprise as she looked at him, "Arlo... President Seys, why are you here?"
Hearing her refer to him as President Seys, Arlo’s cold gaze swept over Ariel Morris, "Young Miss Morris, you called to take you to the hospital, and now you’re asking why I’m here, isn’t that contradictory?"
Ariel Morris’s mind was completely stuck.
So, before she fainted, she called Arlo Seys for help?
Ariel Morris lowered her eyes, pursing her lips, and said softly and awkwardly, "President Seys, thank you."
President Seys, thank you.
These four words burned into Arlo Seys’s heart like a hot iron, searing and excruciatingly painful.
