As they walked out of the tea restaurant, Millie looked up at the sky, where the sun filled the world witha radiant, colorful glow. Everything seemed to be settling into place.

Standing next to her, Marcus’ eyes lingered on her soft lips. She was undeniably captivating.

Millie’s attention snapped back to the present, her thoughts racing. She quickly hailed a taxi and said toMarcus, “Oh, no! I need to get to Preagend University. Time is slipping away.”

Louis, having changed his plans, had already arrived at Preagend University ahead of schedule.

Watching Millie dash away like a startled rabbit, Marcus was frozen, unable to react.

Hidden behind a phoenix tree, Leon emerged to watch the slender and lively figure of Millie. A sense ofguilt weighed heavily on his heart.

Millie hurriedly reached Preagend University and headed straight to the principal’s office.

“Mr. Hinks, Preagend University has become even more stunning over these four years. It’s trulyremarkable how much it has transformed.”

The voice belonged to Louis, his accent carrying an exotic touch.

“We’re honored to have you back for a speech after four years, Louis. Your achievements in the field ofjewelry are remarkable, and our students hold you in high esteem.”

Randolph Hinks, the president of Preagend University chuckled warmly. Millie was about to step awayfrom the door’s vicinity, but as their conversation concluded, the president noticed her and beckonedher in.

“Millie, come on in.”

Before the president, who usually exuded a sense of gravity, Millie stepped inside with a degree ofdecorum. Despite her own age, she couldn’t help feeling a student-like reticence when facing herformer teacher and the president.

“Hello, Mr. Hinks.”

Randolph, now in his sixties, exuded vitality. His gaze upon Millie radiated admiration, although hesoon added with a chuckle.

“You’re not a student anymore. There is no need to be so formal. Feel at ease.”

“Greetings, Millie.”

Lounging on a sofa, Louis, clad in a floral shirt, looked at Millie with a mix of surprise and familiarity, hischin resting on his hand.

While Millie’s countenance usually remained concealed by a mask, this time she presented herfeatures openly.

Seeing Louis, Millie responded with an understanding smile. They were old friends.

“Hello, Louis. It’s been a while.”

“You’re not wearing a mask now. I wonder what prompted you to finally reveal yourself. You’re trulybeautiful. It’s a shame you wore that mask.”
