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?"

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."
