Benjamin took a deep breath. He seemed to be unhappy with the result, so he said after a long while.
âIâll go to Guangzhou again to find out.â
âNo hurry.â Hayden looked at him, âThe more hurry, the more mistakes. Remember to be accurate in everything.â
âI see.â With a bad face, Benjamin felt very embarrassed. He muttered, âIf I donât find out, how could I ever regain my dignity?â.
âSo, do you think you live up to your title of Grand Detective of the University of Public Safety?â. Hayden joked.
Benjamin looked at her in surprise, his face turning red. He said awkwardly, âHow do you know thatâ¦?â
The title âGreat Detectiveâ was a joke from his classmates that they thought was funny. He had warned his classmates not to call him that, but it backfired. His classmates called him that much more often.
Even the teachers at school also called him Big Detective.
But how did Hayden know that?
Hayden smiled, âDo you think itâs something hard to guess? I just went by you. I heard a lot of discussion about you and I heard someone call you that, didnât you hear?â.
Benjamin hid his face in his hands feeling very embarrassed.
Hayden had been regarding him as a child. Now, he would look more childish to her with such a funny title.
âHere, two cups of caramel macchiato.â With a thud, the tray was placed on the table, breaking the awkward silence.
The girl who had just been arguing with Benjamin said, âAre you ashamed of yourself for feigning shyness?â
Then the girl took the tray and turned to leave.
âIâm not shy.â Benjamin stopped her and said in a warning tone, âAre you blind? Do you think Iâm shy?â
âWhat am I blind? I think people who date you are all blind!â. The girl turned around and looked at Hayden.
âMiss, you must have no idea that Benjamin is a famous heartthrob of the girls on campus, heâs even met older ladies here. Besides, he always orders two cups of caramel macchiato.â
âWhat are you talking about?â Benjaminâs expression changed.
Hayden calmed down, turned to the girl and laughed, âReally? Dating older ladies is crazy.â
âI couldnât agree with you more, heâs a weird kid!â. Said the girl with a serious look, âSo miss, donât be fooled by his looks, heâs a womanizer who has hurt a lot of girls.â
âNoâ¦â. Benjamin was very angry. âAndrea, your milk tea will sell more if you push it by making up stories.â
âIâm speaking the truth.â Andrea was still in a state of certainty.
âThanks for warning me, but Iâm just her sister.â Hayden blinked and explained his relationship with Benjamin.
Andrea was dumbfounded. âSister? Youâre blood relatives?â
Benjamin rolled his eyes, âNo, but sheâs more than my blood sister.â
âReally?â Andrea suddenly felt a little embarrassed, she never expected them to be siblings.
âSure, I have a 5 year old daughter.â Hayden teased Andrea and said, âSo Benjamin really doesnât behave himself, does he flirt with girls a lot, can you help me hold him back?â
