Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) -
Chapter 369
Lucas was not afraid of being stared by the people around him. He had been enjoying the livelyatmosphere like this and even raised his eyebrows to greet the girls around him every now andthen.
Jane, on the other hand, was worried that her brother was being too enthusiastic.
Moreover, she was afraid of meeting acquaintances here.
In the past, Jane was quite influential in this university. Even now, there was still a picture of her inthe activity center of University A.
However, in view of her brand new appearance, even if the people who knew her in the past mightnot be able to recognize her now.
But Jane couldn't help feeling nervous.
After all, she spent the happiest time in her life here after the death of her mother.
For her, University A was a sacred place that marked her happiness.
However, now as Jane, she already had no connection with University A.
She could not show up at University A again as Jessica.
Lucas was not afraid of being stared by the people around him at all, and he even waved at them.Jane suggested him to keep a low profile.
[At the back gate of University A]
It was getting dark gradually.
The snack street near the back gate was already crowded with food stands.
And there were various kinds of snacks provided there.
Roy had already climbed off Oliver. Now that it was getting dark and there were many people at theback gate, they were not so conspicuous in the crowd.
Jasmine bent down and asked Roy, "Roy, what do you want to eat? How about I buy you the foodyou like?"
Roy kept shaking his head.
Oliver asked, "What do you want to eat?”
Roy stared at the vendors who were busy preparing food but he didn't know what to eat.
He had only seen a scene like this on TV, but when it came to the real food in front of him, he was alittle scared to make a choice.
There were so many things that he had never seen before.
Roy kept shaking his head.
Oliver knew that Roy was just curious instead of wanting to try the food here for real.
They walked to a stall selling fried chicken fillet. Roy saw a row of girls in front of them and hepulled the sleeve of Oliver.
Most of the time at home, Oliver rarely allowed Roy to have chicken, let alone fried food.
He did so because eating chicken might lead to early puberty in children. Oliver learned all thisparenting knowledge from reference materials.
Although he had invited the most professional nutritionist to prepare the meal, it was still necessaryto know the details of raising the child himself.
Oliver thought the food sold at the street stalls was unhygienic.
He refused to eat this kind of food.
Roy seemed to be just curious.
Only then did Jasmine say, "This lady who sells chicken fillet had been here for years ever since Istudied in this university. At that time, many girls would come here every night to buy chicken filletas their midnight snack.”
Oliver wondered if Jessica would also come here to buy chicken fillet when she was studying atUniversity A.
He noticed that the people who were waiting in line were all girls. All of a sudden, he felt that it wasJessica who was talking to this vendor in the front row.
Oliver was shocked by his own thoughts.
He must have thought too much that he mistook the woman in front of him for Jessica.
Oliver patted his head to remind himself that he was with Roy now and that he should not beaffected by his random imagination.
He said to Roy, "Let's go and see something else.”
"Do you want this, Roy? I'll go buy some for you." Jasmine asked.
Oliver and Roy replied in unison, "No."
It was already dark and the light of the food stand was rather dim.
Jasmine was a little embarrassed. She had been trying to please Oliver and Roy and her intentionwas too obvious.
A trace of displeasure flashed across her face but the expression on her face immediately changedafter emotional adjustment.
"Then I'll show you around.”
Just as they were about to leave, Roy suddenly tore himself from the grasp of Oliver and ranforward.
Oliver was startled because it happened all of a sudden.
There were so many people here and it was too crowded. Oliver was worried that Roy might be indanger.
Oliver reached out but failed to stop Roy since he ran away quickly.
He shouted, "Roy, stop!"
Roy did stop, but not because of the calling from Oliver.
He ran to Jane, who had just bought the fried chicken fillets.
Jane was completely shocked after feeling the touch of a soft body near her feet.
Because just now, while she was waiting in line for picking up the chicken fillet, she had a small talkwith the vendor.
When she studied here in the past, she didn't have the chance to buy chicken fillet very often
She only bought the chicken fillet for herself as a reward after mid-term and final exams.
At that time, Jason said that she was 18 years old and hen stopped to support her living expenses.It was grandma who managed to help her pay the tuition fees with the money she saved up.
At that time, Jessica was admitted to the School of Management and most of the students herewere from rich and powerful family. Both the tuition fee and the entry score were quite high.
Her score was high enough to be admitted and her grandma strongly supported her to study here .After she went college, she worked while studying to earn some money.
Most of the time she chose to eat at the school dining hall to save money.
As a result, she didn't have the chance to buy chicken fillet frequently.
Although it took her a semester to come to the lady's stall and buy the smallest portion of chickenfillet, the lady remembered her.
At that time, the lady said that she could tell Jane was a good student at first sight and that she wasalso very beautiful.
Every time when weighing the chicken fillet, she would give her more.
Jane remembered all this clearly.
So when Lucas asked Jane to recommend the best food here for him to try, Jane immediatelythought of this lady who sold chicken fillet.
They came outside through the back gate of the university and went straight to the chicken filletstand.
Lucas was answering a phone call, and Jane stayed in line to buy the largest portion of chicken fillet.Jane had a small talk with the vendor and felt the voice of her quite familiar.
The lady was talkative and an acute observer. At first glance, she could tell that Jane was not astudent.
Jane said that she studied here many years ago and happened to pass by today. That's why shecame to the food stand for chicken fillet.
The aunt was very enthusiastic and asked her if she was getting married or having children.
As soon as she mentioned the child, Jane's heart ached as if it was pricked by a needle.
Just at that time, her chicken fillet was ready.
Jane's mind was still occupied by the thought of her child.
If her child were still alive, Jane would definitely bring the baby here to have a look at her oldschool. Maybe in the future, her child would also study here just like her.
Jane had the chicken fillet in her hands and left the long queue while Roy suddenly hugged her.Because it was dark and Roy was just a small child, she did not even get to see what was comingtowards her.
When she kept her feet, she noticed Oliver and Jasmine were coming towards her.
Then she looked down at her feet and was surprised to replace that it was Roy.
Jane looked sullen.
