Cloud Capital University occupies a very large area.
The basketball court and the main gate are quite far from each other, one is at the far north of the campus, the other at the far south.
It would take at least half an hour to walk there.
At the beginning of freshman year, the campus was noisy and lively, and the campus buses were crowded. After walking a few steps, Roy suggested he could ride a bicycle and take Mia out, quicker and more convenient, and enjoy the breeze.
Mia was a bit anxious too, so she reluctantly agreed.
She sat on the back seat of the bike.
Soon, they passed through the campus in the twilight and reached the main gate.
The neon lights on the street had just been lit, and the area outside Cloud Capital University was bustling, giving a feeling of bright lights and vibrant nightlife.
"Thank you." Mia jumped off the bike and smiled, expressing her gratitude.
"No problem, I’m just going to grab some dinner and buy some things anyway." Roy said as he balanced the handlebars and looked around. "How about I wait for your brother to come over before leaving? It’s pretty chaotic at the school gate with it being the start of the year."
"No need." Mia felt a bit tense and was responding while searching for Koa Jackson with her eyes.
He should be driving, right?
She thought this as her gaze fell upon a car parked by the roadside.
Koa Jackson opened the car door and stepped out.
He must have just gotten off work, still wearing a white shirt and black trousers, tall and slim, with an extraordinary air.
He wasn’t wearing a tie; the top button of his shirt was undone, and a sleeve was slightly rolled up, revealing a firm forearm, looking more casual than usual, yet still able to exert pressure on the average man.
Mostly because he was tall, well... his presence was powerful, and he appeared cold.
Mia pondered randomly for a moment, not speaking.
Beside her, Roy was genuinely taken aback.
Mia is the kind of girl who easily wins favor among boys, being pretty and clean-cut, her brother must naturally be no less.
But who could have thought—
This man is so outstanding.
Cold, dignified, and with an exceptional appearance, simply like a natural-born aristocrat.
Roy’s gaze fell on the sleek car not far away.
A black Bentley, overall not flashy, but a global limited edition, renowned for its exceptional performance, exuding understated luxury.
Roy was lost in thought, hearing a gentle and clear voice, "Have you had dinner yet?"
"Not yet." Mia smiled a little, with a hint of flattery, "This is my classmate, Roy Anders."
Koa’s gaze fell on him.
He appeared calm and gentle, yet it inadvertently produced a sense of pressure.
He just felt inferior.
He was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, had been riding a bicycle, and was sweaty all over, feeling embarrassed to reach out and greet him.
"Hello." Koa spoke, his extremely polite attitude making Roy feel at ease.
"Hello, I’m Mia’s classmate, worried it might not be safe for her to wait for you alone, so I decided to accompany her," Roy, being quite adept socially, responded, smiled back at Mia, and said, "I’ll be heading off now, contact me if you need anything."
"Okay, goodbye." Mia waved to him a bit awkwardly.
Koa looked her over with a lowered gaze, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to dinner."
Feeling slightly displeased inside.
Once they got in the car, he started the engine, and continued, "It’s only the first day of school, and you’ve already given your phone number to a guy. Why are you so unguarded?"
"Huh?" Mia was caught off guard by his sudden scolding and froze.
"University counts as a small society, and there are plenty of smooth-talking guys. You should at least have some basis for judgment, and be more cautious in choosing friends, okay?" Koa continued explaining slowly and patiently.
