Chapter 4 - A Crazy Handsome Boy

The coffee shop is getting full. Many young people spend their afternoons chatting casually with their friends or doing school assignments together. Several office workers also appear, unwinding with a warm cup of latte—jazz music from the speaker clashes with the sound of roaring rain. The rain is still falling, and the two of them are still looking at each other, waiting for who will speak first.

The glass starts to condense because of the temperature difference, and the white cup's surface is no longer steaming. Jasmine sits on the sofa, silent as she looks at Leonardo's handsome face. She feels awkward about this situation. Leonardo also only supports his head with his fists, observing every inch of Jasmine's beautiful face.

Jasmine glances back at Leon, observes him, judges him, and admires him. Who is not amazed by a man as handsome as the Greek God? Jasmine is a teenager who knows about the opposite sex. She can understand which one is handsome and who is ugly. And Leonardo is not only handsome, but he is an excellent seed of the human race. He is beyond handsome. Every inch of his body is utterly flawless. It is as if he is a wax figure sculpted by a world-class artist.

"Do you still remember me?" Leon asks Jasmine.

"Pardon me ?! Do I know you? " Jasmine asks back. So surprised, this handsome man claims to know her.

"Nine years ago? At Aston's house, we caught butterflies? You said my name was like a lion?" Leon finally moves, inhaling the aroma of coffee before taking a slow sip.

Jasmine tries to remember Leon's words, and nine years is not a short time. Her brain isn't a brain of a high-IQ genius. How can she possibly still remember her meeting with this boy?

"Erm ... I don't remember." Jasmine scratches her head in confusion.

Leonardo smiles; it's not Jasmine's fault; Leon never shows himself to Jasmine. Leonardo only watches the girl from behind. His title as a Young Master of the Aldebaran groups makes Leonardo unable always to be a protector behind the scenes.

"Hm ... okay then, I will introduce myself again to you. My name is Leonardo, and you can call me Leon." Leon stretches out his hand, trying to shake hands with Jasmine. Jasmine's eyes bead glance at Leon's hand. There are two or three black rings on each hand. The biggest ring is engraved with a symbol of the Aldebaran Lineage, a lion.

All eyes glared at the scene, a young master from the Aldebaran family who is famous for being arrogant and cruel, stretching out his hand to a girl who keeps the cash machine in a cafe. Is this a Cinderella-style love story?

"Umm, my name is Jasmine." Jasmine hesitates to reply to Leon's handshake.

Leon smiles. He pulls hers and kisses the back of her hand. Jasmine flinches; her body is tickling. It feels like an electric shock creeping all over her body, even to the fine hairs around the nape of her neck.

"Let go !! This is embarrassing."  Jasmine pulls back her hand.

"Wow, your gesture is adorable," Leon says as he returns to the back of the chair. He was leaning cozy.

"D-don't be kidding me." Jasmine lowers her head, hiding her blushing face. Sometimes, she combs her bob hair behind her ear.

"Aren't you going to high school this year? Already registered? At what high school?" Leon asks curiously.

"Um ... I don't know yet. Maybe I won't continue school. I will work to help My Mom. " Jasmine drops her head; now she is very embarrassed because she is too poor. She has no money to pay the high school bill.

"Do you want to register to ALDE HS?" Leon's question suddenly makes Jasmine nod. Going to an ordinary public school is like a miracle for her, let alone getting into the most prestigious school in the city.

"Haha, even though I like dreaming, I don't dare to dream that high, Leon." Jasmine chuckles.

"Who knows, you can." Leon shrugs his shoulders.

"One month of their tuition fee is the equivalent of our renting house cost for one year, you know?" Jasmine answers.

"Of course, I know. The school is Aldebaran's." Leon giggles softly, making Jasmine's face blush entirely red.

[Ah, that's right, he's wearing the ALDE HS uniform, but I never thought that school was his.] Jasmin thinks.

—ALDE HS is a school founded by the ALDE Group. They are educating children from wealthy families to become aspiring successful young entrepreneurs. The tuition fee is prohibitive because the facilities are very luxurious and complete. The teachers are also experts at their subject, and apart from going to school, they are also expected to build business relationships.

Leon turns back at Jasmin's face and sees her straight and soft hair. Its color is black and glistening with brown glam when exposed to the light. Her emerald blue eyes look so sparkling and brighter. Her cheeks are blushed red, plus her lips are thick and sexy.

Leonardo rubs his lips as his eyes glance down at Jasmine's body. The girl's body is indeed slender, a little too thin, according to him. Her boobs are not plump either, Maybe, because she is still fifteen years old. She is still too young and needs more time to grow bigger.

"So how?" Leon asks once more time.

"Which one?" Jasmine replies, asking too.

"Do you want to register to ALDE HS or not?"

"Of course I do, but it's impossible." Once again, Jasmine can't help but laugh out loud.

"For me, everything is possible," Leon declares his power as a crown prince in Aldebaran's family.

[Tsk, He is so arrogant!] Jasmine doesn't believe Leonardo can help her.

Leonardo removes one earring that has been sticking in his ear. There is a beautifully Aldebaran family emblem engraved on it. Leonardo grabs Jasmine's hand, forcing the girl to open her palm. He puts down the earring and closes her grip.

"Bring it when you register. Please give it to the administrator at the interview. " Leon gets up.

"It's just an earring." Jasmine sees the earring in her palm.

"Those earrings are worth more than a million, Jasmine. Trust me." Leon glances at Jasmine. Then passes before the girl, leaving a big question mark on Jasmine's heart.

"Hey!!" Jasmine calls.

"Huh?" Leon turns around, glancing at Jasmine with his sharp hazel brown eyes. Make the girl's cheeks blush again.

"Why are you doing all of this? Why are you helping me? " Jasmine asks.

"You will find the answer when you enter high school. I'll be waiting for you there. " Leon waves at Jasmine.

Jasmine smiles. She shakes her head—what a strange, crazy handsome boy. Jasmine slowly opens her palm. That earring looks like an ordinary earring. Is it true that it has such extraordinary strength that it can easily bring her into ALDE HS?

[Ah, What a crazy handsome boy, ] Jasmine mutters, but her heart blossoms.

Leon grins from inside his car, muttering inwardly. [Sure, I will make you mine, Jasmine.]

Michael bites his finger because he still doesn't understand the situation. Suddenly, The young master dumps him. And Afga immediately starts his car as soon as Leonardo orders him to go.
