When They Beg, I Rise!

After sending her message, Lemira didn't receive a reply from him. She stared at their chat history, feeling that something had changed yet couldn't quite put her finger on it.

It seemed she had grown accustomed to having Orion by her side.

During the previous life when she felt utmost hopeless and in distress, it was Orion who had been there for her, shielding her from the storm outside with an umbrella. He had been both a mentor and a friend, and her feelings for him had gradually evolved.

In his absence these past few days, Lemira found herself restless and longing to see him. Recognizing the oddity in her emotions, she decided to go out and buy some things for a distraction. After she bought some snacks, a car honked twice. She turned to see Lucian. Her expression became slightly indifferent, "Are you keeping tabs on me?"

"Lemmy, this is Lyria, finding you was just a matter of time," Lucian's gaze was complex. It hadn't been easy to locate Lemira. That school doctor indeed had a mysterious background.

Lemira eyed him warily, "What do you want to express?"

"Lemmy, I mean no harm. The exam results are coming up, and I care about you. Choosing your college is crucial after all."

Lemira remembered how in her past life, Lucian had agreed to Alaric's suggestion, asking her to apply to the same mediocre college as Evelina. A tinge of scoff showed on her face, "There's no need. I can handle it myself."
