Chapter 287 Spewing Nonsense,Coolest Girl in Town

At 6:00PM in the evening, Alexander parked his car in the parking space outside the school and walkedElise back to the dormitory. After a weekend together, the two of them became much more intimatethan before. Along the way, they walked shoulder to shoulder and held hands. Their hands were heldneither too loose nor too tight; it seemed that they couldn’t get rid of each other no matter what, andthey could hold each other’s hands for a lifetime. Alexander enjoyed this kind of leisure time. Althoughhe was busy, Elise’s life was more like an unpredictable spinning top—no one knew when it would stop.

It seemed that only this weekend of hers was entirely his, and he was not sure how long it would beuntil the next time. When he was in a trance, Elise suddenly stopped and mumbled to herself, “Ibrought a suitcase with me when we left, right?” Alexander smiled helplessly. When they got out of thecar, the two of them only remembered to hold hands, and they really forgot to take the suitcase. He letgo of her hand reluctantly and naturally pinched the tip of her nose. “Wait at the door of the dormitory.I’ll go get it.” After saying that, he lifted his foot and walked back. Elise stood there.

After watching Alexander’s figure disappear around the corner, she continued to walk forward. As soonas she stepped into the stone arch of the girls’ dormitory, there was a loud bang, then the sound ofconfettis sounded from all directions. Ribbons slowly fell from the sky, covering her all over.“Congratulations, Elise!” “Welcome back, Erudite Elise!” “Elise, you are amazing. You are my idol!”“Woohoo!” Elise was a little confused by their enthusiasm and smiled awkwardly. “Thank you!” As shespoke, she removed the confettis hanging from her body. “But, what are you guys congratulating meabout?” “You still don’t know?”

Addison said excitedly. “Professor Merlin has applied for the highest-level mathematics award in thecountry for you, and you’ve passed the preliminary examination—you would be the first female winner

of this award!” “Yeah, it’s amazing!” Elise still didn’t understand what was going on. “Y-You must haveheard it wrong. Professor Merlin didn’t tell me at all about this. Could it be that someone else has thesame name as me, or looks a lot like me, and you’re mistaken?” “Oh, trust me. It can’t be wrong!”Addison stepped forward to take her arm and said firmly. “It was announced on the bulletin board of ourdepartment, so who else could it be but you? Besides, how could I have mistaken your face?

Girl, I can recognize you even if you were turned to ashes!” “Gee, now that sounds a little scary…”someone exclaimed. Addison was always a straightforward person. Without putting too much thoughtinto what that person said, she took it seriously. “Why is it scary? How is it scary? I just want everyoneto know that I, Addison, don’t make friends based on their appearance. It’s not always about the face,but the actual strength. Some people have the look, but they’re merely like a vase—pretty on theoutside but empty on the inside. Some people do look mediocre, but they have the strength withinthem.” Elise smiled bitterly and reminded her, “I think you meant ‘never judge a book by its cover’!”

Addison was stunned for a moment. Then, she reacted with embarrassed chuckles while scratching theback of her head before she raised her voice and said, “Oh, yes, exactly! One should never judge abook by its cover!” This candid speech instantly made everyone laugh out loud. In the distance, Janiceapproached with a book in her arms, and she happened to see the scene of people laughing andcheering around Elise. She blushed instantly, and the phrase, never judge a book by its cover, wasespecially harsh in her ears. Elise looked at Addison’s straightforward and naive appearance andpatted her on the shoulder helplessly.

“Addison, Addison. I don’t care if I won an award or not, but right now, I think I should give you anEnglish tutorial first!” Addison released Elise’s hand instantly. Like a frightened bird, she hid behind thecrowd. “Oh, please spare me from this torture.” The crowd burst in laughter again. Janice’s brain wasfilled with the echoing laughter, and she couldn’t bear it any longer. Immediately, she rushed over to thecrowd and shouted hysterically, “Enough is enough!” She pushed aside the crowd and stood directly

opposite Elise. Her expression was a little grim because she exerted too much force. “Enough, EliseSinclair. I know you have a boyfriend, and I got drunk and leaned on him accidentally.

Did you have to go out of your way to gossip here? Do you want me to get you a loudspeaker?!” Janicewas so worked up that her spit was flying around, and some of them got on Elise accidentally. Eliseraised her hand in disgust to wipe the saliva off her cheeks and frowned slightly, feeling nauseated inher heart. Addison couldn’t bear it any longer, so she stepped forward to argue with Janice. “Why areyou acting all crazy here, woman?!” Janice was extremely emotional. Her eyes widened, and shestared back at Addison. “This is my grudge with Elise. What does it have to do with you? Mind yourown damn business!” “You—” Addison wanted to say something but was blocked by Elise’s hand, soshe had to swallow the words that came to her mouth.

Elise took a step forward, squeezed out a smile, and tried her best to remain calm. “Janice, if I may,what did I do to provoke you again this time?” Janice felt guilty all of a sudden and tried to blame it allon Elise again. Immediately, she quibbled, “You really think I didn’t hear it? I heard and saweverything!” As if to prove it to everyone, she patted her chest and walked in a circle while sheexplained, “Let me tell you: What Elise said is not true at all! Yes, I did go to the bar with a rich man, butI only went because I wanted to give him a chance since he’s pursued me for so long; it’s not like whatyou imagined!”

Upon saying that, she paused and looked at Elise with fierce eyes. She then pointed at her and said,“She must have told you all that I seduced her boyfriend. In fact, it was her boyfriend who saw me andtried to take advantage of me!” Janice spread her hands and spoke contemptuously. “Well, I’m surethat all of you can distinguish who is the more attractive one between me and her. Needless to say, youall know who is the one that is more likely to be taken advantage of, right?” For a while, the audiencewas vaguely moved by Janice’s words, and when they looked at Elise again, they couldn’t help cast hera sympathetic gaze. Everyone knew how perfect Elise’s boyfriend was.

The two of them looked like an odd pair when they stood together, but it could be that Elise was lucky.Now that this man actually chose Janice over her, it could only be said that Elise’s luck had finally runout. But what could they do about a society where appearance determined everything? Elise laughedangrily at Janice’s words. This woman is not only ungrateful, but also has an impeccable ability ofspewing nonsense.

She was not in a hurry to argue who was right and wrong. Instead, she looked at Janice with kindnessand said calmly, “Well, that was a wonderful speech. You are suitable to be a public speaker, but youseem to have made a mistake—no one was gossiping about you just now. It was you, on the otherhand, who spilled everything about yourself as soon as you rushed over. Honestly, I don’t really knowhow to wrap my head around what you just did.”

Addison’s mind turned extremely fast this time, then she interjected, “Aren’t you just trying to blameeverything on Elise? I think you’re obviously just feeling guilty over what you did!” “Oh. I get it! You’rejust a gold-digger. You went out of your way to go after rich men, and you even tried to seduce Elise’sboyfriend!”
