He pursed his lips, seeming somewhat surprised.
Even his return to the Barlow family, from William to William, was because of his relationship with her.
He wanted to become someone worthy of her and to one day get what he truly desired.
âSoâ¦the person you like, do I know them?â She asked the second question.
His eyes flickered slightly. âYou do.â
This answer made Jasperâs heart inexplicably nervous. Could it be thatâ¦what their roommate had guessed was true? They had been close since childhood, and even though they lived in different cities, they often video called each other.
âAnd you, do you hate me?â She asked the same question again.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, âWhat if I do hate you?â
âThen Iâll ask you to be patient for a while, untilâ¦â Her voice trailed off, âI can guarantee that I wonât appear in front of you.â
âAfter that, what happens?â He asked.
âIf after that you really feel that I canât be your friend, then I wonât appear in front of you,â she said, while the unspoken words in her heart were â after that, if she was sure he wasnât Lawrence, then she could stop appearing in front of him.
âIf you really hate me, why did you bring me to the lab and have dinner with me?â She suddenly thought of this and couldnât help but ask.
âNo reason, just bored,â he casually gave an answer, âbut you better not get too close to me, itâs not good for you.â
His words sounded like a warning.
Just then, the waiter brought over the noodles they had ordered.
Roger picked up his fork and began to eat the noodles with his head down.
Jasper stared at the person in front of him, lost in thought. He lowered his head and ate the bowl of noodles with vegetables and pork in front of him. Surprisingly, he ate the noodles first, just like Lawrence, before moving on to the vegetables and pork.
Is this also a coincidence?
Or perhaps, many people have this habit of eating the noodles first and then the toppings?
I donât know what happened, but after she suspected that he might be Lawrence, she would always compare him to her memories of Lawrence, and then she would feel more and more convinced that he was indeed Lawrence.
If he really is Lawrence, that would be great!
âIf I get close to someone, itâs never for personal gain,â Jasper murmured.
âReally? But people who get close to me usually donât end up well. Arenât you afraid?â He stopped eating his noodles and looked up at her.
Her heart skipped a beat. In that moment, she saw an endless void of deathly stillness in his eyes.
After finishing their noodles, Jasper and Roger returned to school together. However, when they reached the school gate, they ran into William.
After finishing their noodles, Jasper and Roger headed back to school together. However, when they reached the school gate, they ran into William.
Judging by Williamâs appearance, he had been waiting at the gate for a while.
âWilliam,â Jasper hurriedly greeted him, âyouâre not waiting for me, are you?â
âMhm,â William replied, his gaze sweeping past Jasper and onto Roger standing behind her.
Although he had seen videos and photos of Roger on the school forum before, this was the first time he had seen her in person.
Could this young man be Lawrence? William also had this suspicion in his heart.
Indeed, the personâs appearance could make one think that he is Lawrence all grown up. Additionally, the piano playing and the mole on the neck that Jasper mentioned also add to this suspicion.
Are all these just coincidences? Or could it be that this person is really Lawrence?
However, if he really is Lawrence and he hasnât lost his memory or anything, but remembers everything, would there
