CHAPTER 73: CHAPTER 73: GOD SEYS’ LOOKS DON’T NECESSARILY SURPASS MINE

"Are you always this proactive when chasing guys?" Actually, he wanted to say she was shameless.

"If I like him, why wouldn’t I chase him? I’ll keep at it until I succeed. Senior Brother Seys, to be honest, the second time I saw you, I really felt a bit of a spark."

Arlo Seys looked at her calmly, "I don’t date in high school."

Ariel Morris shrugged it off, "You might not date in high school, but I can have a crush on you openly. After all, liking you is my business. If you like me, that’s great. If you don’t, it doesn’t stop me from liking you."

Arlo Seys was taken aback. Every girl who confessed to him did so with blushing faces, stammering as if it might kill them, and ran off crying once rejected.

He had never seen someone confess so casually, in such a cheerful tone. It made him suspect the sincerity of her words—was she just saying it casually, as a joke?

Besides, it was just their first day meeting, a second brief encounter, and she was talking about liking him in such an airy, happy manner—how real could it be?

"Do as you please. Like you said, liking me is your business, but whether I accept it or not is mine. So, I’m rejecting you."

Arlo Seys’s tone was somewhat indifferent. Ariel Morris pursed her lips, "It’s fine, I expected it."

Over the next week, Ariel Morris and Arlo Seys didn’t see each other again, nor did Ariel, as she said, stubbornly try to chase Arlo or make her presence felt. There was zero communication, no meetings between them.

A week later, on seeing each other again, Ariel Morris made quite an impression in front of Arlo Seys.

After school that day, Ariel Morris stood with a girl from her class in front of the school newspaper, commenting on the photos on the school’s Scenic Hill Hall of Fame. Scenic Hill Hall of Fame was chosen based on grades, peer votes, and teacher recognition, selecting outstanding figures from Scenic Hill.

Looking at the photos, the girl sighed, "Ah, our Scenic Hill’s top three, especially Arlo Seys, is really eye-poppingly handsome and is such a genius! Forever the number one idol! Being at the same school with the top three makes future life seem so promising! I just wish I could come to school every day to see their overwhelmingly handsome faces!"

Ariel Morris chuckled lightly, looking at the person in the school paper. His features were cool and handsome, with deep eyes like the sea; just one glance could easily make one succumb to his imposing, noble aura.

This kind of aura was innate, elegant and noble, breathtakingly cold, making people fascinated but also afraid to approach easily.

Ariel Morris shattered the girl’s fantasy directly, "God Seys is a grade above us, we’ll only be in the same school for two years! Looks like I need to work hard. I’ll strive to squeeze into the Hall of Fame next time, so my photo appears next to his." Ariel thought about it and added, "Actually, I think if we get married when of legal age, and our photos are together, it would look more compatible, happier."

The girl snorted, "Ariel Morris, you really have wild dreams!"

"Hmm, maybe if God Seys’s photo is next to mine, his looks might not necessarily beat mine! He’s too cold, like ice, while I have a warm smile—like light—more pleasing, more lovable!"

Just as Ariel finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter from behind them.

Ariel Morris and the girl turned their heads simultaneously and saw Arlo Seys standing in front of them, accompanied by two equally dazzling boys.
