Now the three of them were dumbfounded.
Ellie was also puzzled. Why did she say that without realizing it?
Sophia, on the other hand, looked wary. If she had just wanted to drive Jacob away in anger, what she meant this time was not simple.
"Well, I'm alone. Your dormitories aren't in the same direction. Why don't I send you off one by one?"
Harry made a suggestion, then before they could speak, he went on. "Miss Ellie's dormitory is closer. Let's send Miss Ellie back first."
Harry didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Sophia and Ellie were terrified after what had happened.
Sophia was about to retort when she remembered that after Harry sent Teacher Ellie off, she and Harry would be the only ones left for the rest of the journey. This was exactly the alone time she had longed for.
"Okay, let's send Teacher Ellie off together," Sophia said happily.
Then the three of them walked towards Ellie's dormitory.
After a while, they arrived at Ellie's dormitory building.
"Since we're already here, Teacher Ellie, we'll leave first. Take care to rest."
With that, Harry left with Sophia.
Ellie didn't feel good as she watched the two of them leave, but she didn't know why. After a sigh, she turned and went back to her room.
Actually, after Harry's two rescues today, she had an indefinable feeling for him, but she had never been in love. She couldn't tell if it was gratitude or liking.
Harry and Sophia, who had left, slowly walked towards the student dormitory. Although it was a little late, there were still many couples strolling hand in hand on the school playground.
Seeing this, Harry was a little sad. He and Chloe had been like this before, but now she was holding another man's hand.
Sensing the change in Harry's mood, Sophia comforted him softly. "It's fine, Harry. You'll definitely meet the girl who loves you in the future. She definitely won't care if you are rich. You're the one that she likes."
Actually, that wasn't what she was thinking. She wanted to tell Harry that she was the girl who liked him, but she wasn't sure how he felt, and was afraid that she would be rejected if she told him.
Hearing Sophia's comforting words, Harry sighed at her attentiveness and smiled. "Little fat girl, you think of me as so fragile. I'm just a little emotional. Let's not talk about this anymore. You're about to reach gate closing time. Let's hurry."
Sophia nodded and led Harry toward the girls' dormitory.
Five minutes later, Harry saw a five-story building in front of him. This was one of the girls' dormitories at Ascended University.
Sophia turned to Harry and said reluctantly, "Harry, I'll go up first."
Harry nodded but said nothing.
Seeing this, Sophia hesitated for a moment before suddenly kissing Harry on the cheek. Then she quickly left and ran towards the dormitory.
She had heard her roommate say that as long as she left her mark on the boy she liked, there was a high chance that he would become her boyfriend in the end. Sophia, who did not believe it at first, thought about it again and again. In order to make Harry her boyfriend, and in addition to the sense of crisis Ellie gave her, she mustered the courage to kiss Harry and treat it as the mark she had left on him.
Harry's eyes widened and he stood rooted to the ground. This fat girl actually dared to kiss me. Don't tell me she likes me? But her lips were quite soft.
Shaking his head with a smile, Harry turned and left, debating whether to go back to the rental house or the dormitory.
Sophia, who had just returned to the dormitory, was stopped and questioned by Nova and the others. They only knew that Harry was Sophia's high school classmate, but they did not know the exact relationship between the two of them.
Nova looked at Sophia suggestively and asked, "Sophia, be honest. What exactly is your relationship with Harry?"
"Didn't I tell you? Harry was my high school classmate," Sophia said.
She didn't want to tell anyone before she was in a steady relationship with Harry.
How could Nova believe since they saw clearly from upstairs the scene just now where Sophia kissed Harry. "Sophia, do you really think we're fools? Do ordinary high school classmates need to kiss farewell? Sisters, Sophia is dishonest. Let's serve her according to the rules and regulations."
As she spoke, her hand went to Sophia's armpit. Claire and Emily instantly joined the battle. Sophia immediately laughed coquettishly.
"Stop, stop, stop. I'll say it. I'll say it, okay?"
Sophia still wanted to resist, but two fists were no match for four hands. Helpless, she could only tell them the truth.
"I told you before that I was a fat girl in high school, but what you don't know is that I almost lost my life on the street once. At that time, I accidentally fell in the middle of the road. Then a heavy truck lost control and rushed towards me. I was about to be hit, but a boy saved me. Later on, that boy even became my deskmate. This boy is Harry."
"Under his meticulous care, I fell in love with him. But at that time, I felt very inferior and didn't dare to confess to him. After he went to university, he got together with other girls. I could only hide this love. Now that he has broken up with his girlfriend, I must make him my boyfriend this time."
Sophia's eyes were steady as she spoke. This was the first time she had told anyone that she liked Harry.
"Good luck. I wish you success."
"Come on, come on. I don't believe Harry can resist Sophia's charm."
Nova and Emily cheered on Sophia, but behind their backs, Claire took out her phone and sent Jacob a message, telling him about Sophia's crush on Harry.
She had been heavily bribed by Jacob to spy on Sophia. Jacob had to know at all times what Sophia was doing and if any other men had appeared around her. And she was the one who had tipped Jacob off about Sophia's visit to the night market today. The reward was a bag per month.
