With a hint of beseeching flattery, she was quite different from her usual unreasonable self.
Camden River was distracted.
Once distracted, gradually, his beautiful clear eyes, bright as a spring, squinted and slowly closed.
It was afternoon, a bit of warm yellow sunset leaked in through the window at the corner.
Mia Ginger stared blankly for a few monts, then turned away, leaning against the cold and hard wall.
After a while, she couldn’t help but lower her head and laugh a little.
"After endless hills and rivers that leave no trace, in dark willows and bright flowers another village appears."
Love is such a strange thing, always taking a turn for the better when you least expect it.

Mia Ginger was thoughtful, and had little interest in going to the classroom.
She slowly walked down the corridor outside the classroom, soon reaching the end.
The restroom was right beside her.
She wanted to go in and wash her face to clear her mind.
However, a very clear voice speaking from a cubicle surprised her and made her pause in place.
It was Marianne Jackson.
Marianne Jackson was a freshman in the literature departnt, and it seed like this class was in the sa building as theirs.
At the mont, she was making a phone call in the cubicle.
Long ti no see, Mia Ginger had no interest in listening to her call, and even the thought of washing her face dissipated.
She turned to leave.
Yet she heard Marianne say, "It didn’t work, huh? Didn’t you say that Lia Chester works with him? How is it possible they haven’t even exchanged three sentences? ... Mia Ginger hasn’t been with him long, and he hasn’t told Grandpa either, there can’t be much feeling there... Anyway, he can’t marry Mia Ginger. Grandpa is so anxious, why don’t you introduce a few more won for him to date?"
The "him" inside was clearly Koa Jackson.
Mia Ginger’s heart constricted, standing still, her face suddenly extrely pale.
Caiden Ward said Koa Jackson was on blind dates.
Koa Jackson said he wasn’t.
Marianne Jackson said he was on blind dates.
So, who should she believe?
Caiden Ward was dashing and carefree, but he didn’t know she and Koa Jackson were dating when he spoke.
Marianne Jackson wasn’t on good terms with her, but she didn’t know she was outside either.
Brother Jackson...
Mia Ginger’s lips pressed tightly, her heart filled with rage.
Both angry and suppressed.
Holding a fire inside, she almost wanted to destroy everything.
She turned around and walked out quickly.
Uncertain of Windsor Myres and Camden River’s whereabouts, she took a different staircase down.
It was deep autumn.
As soon as she went downstairs, a cold wind hit her face.
The sunset was warm yellow, yet it seed to lack temperature. She felt cold.
It must be too cold.
Her teeth were chattering.
She pulled her phone out of her pocket, didn’t flip through the contacts, and directly dialed Koa Jackson’s number.
Her slender fingers gripped tighter and tighter, yet she ultimately couldn’t make the call.
She didn’t dare.
That’s how guilty she was.
Even with doubts in her heart, she didn’t dare to seek confirmation.
She actually believed in Koa Jackson’s character, very much indeed, but she felt that she still wanted a gentle explanation.
But in this situation, could Koa Jackson explain it to her?
He was already angry, how could he possibly face such questioning from her?
If she insisted, maybe things would just get worse.
Then what to do?
Mia Ginger walked all the way back to the dorm, feeling utterly lost, her mind in chaos.
