Chapter 56: Your change Chapter 56: Your change After finishing her two morning classes, Victoria Garcia returned to school and went to the Second Cafeteria for lunch with her roommate Serenity Brown, because Serenity loves their Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs.
“Victoria, has anything good happened to you lately?” Serenity asked her as they ate their meal.
Hearing her question, Victoria lifted her head and looked at Serenity, replying, “Why would you ask that?”
“Because it shows all over your face that you’re in a good mood.”
Upon hearing this, Victoria instinctively raised her hand to touch her face, found no change in her expression, and then lowered her hand again.
“Are you sure it’s that obvious? Why don’t I feel any different from usual?”
Serenity Brown looked at her and said earnestly, word by word, “Victoria Garcia, usually, you’re like air in the classroom and only slightly more noticeable in our dorm room. You either don’t talk, or you say things that drive people nuts.”
“Now, you’re still like air in the classrooms, but not cold air anymore. Also, you’re clearly more willing to talk than before, and occasionally, you even smile.”
“Normal people talk, and everyone smiles.”
“NO! NO! NO!” Serenity shook her head and waved her right finger, seriously saying, “To others, you are not a normal person.”
“Am I really that abnormal?” Victoria asked, confronting others’ opinions for the first time.
Serenity responded normally, “Yes, you are really that abnormal.”

Serenity shook her head again and continued, “Your face says ‘lighthearted romance’.”
People said that Victoria’s words drove them nuts, but they should try talking with Serenity Brown.
“You must have read too many romance novels.” After saying that, Victoria picked up a piece of rib and put it in Serenity’s mouth.
Serenity wasn’t polite and ate it up with gusto.
“I’m telling you, the guy must be the overbearing and possessive type.”
“Why can’t I be with someone gentle, caring, and considerate in your eyes?” Victoria said irritably.
Serenity chuckled and said, “My dear sister, wouldn’t you say Alexander Mitchell is gentle, affectionate, and committed enough to you? But have you fallen for him?”
At these words, Victoria skipped a beat and quickly fell silent again.
“Based on my observations of you, only an assertive man can get to you, so in my novels, you can only be paired with overbearing guys with strong possessiveness.”
Not knowing if she struck a nerve or if it was just instinctive evasion, Victoria dodged the discussion by saying, “It would be such a waste if you hadn’t joined the Chinese Department with that creative mind of yours.”
“Sigh, blame my money-loving mother, who forced me to study this subject; otherwise, I would have been in the Mathematics Department long ago.”
