Roger frowned and glared coldly at her. âShe is my sister. Donât speculate on us with your nasty thoughts.â âSister?â The boy was startled.
He scratched his head. Not only was he not annoyed, but his attitude toward Roger miraculously became much better. âI have never heard of you having a sister.â
âWhat is it to you anyway?â Roger wasnât bothered to have any more interaction with him and pulled Stella away.
After they were far away, Stella breathed a sigh of relief. âIs this how you get along with your classmates?â
âIt isnât. Weâre not in the same class. Heâs from the other faculty that comes to class together.â
âEven so, he is still your alumnus. How could you be so rude to him?â
Noticing that he was about to receive another lecture from her, his head started aching.â Alright. Itâs so hard for you to even come over, so donât nag me. Letâs head to the cafeteria. Iâll buy you your favorite meal.â Indeed, Stella had come to visit him, and hearing him say so, she stopped nagging and followed him to the most crowded cafeteria. âIs the cafe always so crowded?â she asked curiously at the sight of the large number of people. She was admitted into Ahn University before Roger, and although they were of different intakes, they were considered alumni.
Roger was still studying, but her situation had changed drastically.
Looking around the familiar campus, a pang of nostalgia suddenly coursed through her soul. âIt feels like itâs only been a few years since I graduated, but I canât even remember what my campus looks like.â Roger had also studied at Ahn University before, and he knew she was talking about it. Hearing her say this, he suddenly said gravely, âStella, why donât you attend graduate school after I graduate?â
She was stunned and found it funny. âWhat makes you suddenly think of this?â
Roger shook his head. âI went to the recruitment fair and found that employee benefits are very good, especially in the computer science industry. I calculated that Iâll be able to support you in about a year.
When that time comes, you can resign from your job and wonât need to find work. Just focus on studying, and I will pay for your tuition when you get into graduate school. You have always wanted to further your studies, right? Anyway, you are still young Itâs still not too late for anything.â
He moved forward a few steps in the queue as he spoke, and after picking a few dishes that she liked, he walked with her side by side.
The place was so crowded that finding an empty seat was almost impossible.
After a hard time rummaging around shoulder-to-shoulder with the massive crowd, they managed to find themselves a clean spot. The sheer number of human bodies jammed packed in one spot caused a deafening droning, and they had to almost shout to even hear each other.
âStop talking nonsense. I plan to let you go to graduate school after you graduate. I heard from Mr. Hall that your grades are excellent, and you have a high chance of getting a postgraduate recommendation.
You should work hard on that.â He frowned. âSister, I donât want to go to graduate school. I just want to get a job.â
She was eating some apple pie, but when she heard him say that, she put down her knife and sighed.
âI really do not need you to make money for me. The money we have now is enough to cover our expenses for the rest of our lives.â
âBut thatâs Westonâs money. I donât want to spend it at all,â he subconsciously blurted.
The moment he mentioned that name, he quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
âIâm sorry. I donât mean to mention him,â he said with his head lowered.
She smiled. âItâs nothing. You said nothing wrong.â She hurriedly finished the food on her plate. âHurry up and eat. Iâll have to go to work.â
The moment that person was mentioned, the atmosphere between the two people stiffened. He realized he shouldnât have tried to act strong in front of her, especially because of that man.
