As the man asked the question, his deep gaze remained fixed on Selena's face, and his pure black eyes were shrouded in a daunting shadow.
The sleeping girl seemed to sense danger and turned around, trying to escape. But the man caught her chin and held her in his arms, tilting his head slightly and pressing her down.
Osvaldo smiled and his delicate fingertips slid over her delicate red lips. He used a gentle tone that made her heart race to ask again, "Who am I?"
Selena felt uncomfortable being suppressed and furrowed her brows slightly. Her red lips made an unclear whimper, "Osvaldo... it hurts..."
The feeling of suffocation that filled the air disappeared instantly. He gently raised his eyes, his heart full of boiling joy and pleasure. He lightly touched her forehead and cheeks and sighed, "Good girl..."
Selena curled up in his arms, her eyelashes trembling, as if she was about to wake up. Just before she opened her eyes, the man's slender hand moved away from her face, down along her slender shoulders, and finally landed on her back, gently patting her.
Suddenly, a gentle and sentimental song echoed in the pitch-black night.
"Even if you take away my eyes, I can still see you. Even if you block my ears, I can still hear you. Even if you break my hands, I can still embrace you. Without memory, I still only love you..."
The sleeping girl's eyelashes stopped trembling, curled up in his arms. After a while, she fell asleep quietly again.
...
Leia, who was carefully hiding at the door, patted her chest and stiffly slid down from the wall to the floor. She couldn't imagine what would happen if Selena called out another man's name like she did last time. No one could save Selena tonight...
Luckily!
Osvaldo's long companionship and efforts finally paid off.
Leia wiped the sweat from her face and breathed a sigh of relief.
...
From that day on, Capital University suddenly had some rumors. The news spread from an unknown source that Selena was arrogant and domineering, and on her first day at Capital University, she wanted to enter the laboratory.
The school made an exception and gave Selena a one-month probation period, but Selena, being proud and unwilling to be inferior to anyone, insisted that Penelope give up her position for her. After being rejected, she relied on the identity of the daughter of Dean Turner to seduce Hamish and caused the friendship between the two medical geniuses at Capital University to break apart, leading to a significant decline in the overall strength of the laboratory.
The students at Capital University already had mixed feelings towards Selena. Upon hearing this news, they became even more displeased with her.
Who hasn't started from the bottom in the laboratory? Everyone else can do it, so why can't Selena?
For a while, angry voices denouncing Selena could be heard throughout the entire campus.
In the afternoon, the Cooke sisters came to the library with their milk tea to talk to Selena about the situation. Nova angrily said, "The news was spread by a group of gossips. It must be Penelope's doing!"
Selena lazily flipped through a book, leaning against the window with the afternoon sunlight casting a warm glow on her.
Candy sipped her milk tea and saw that Selena had been reading all along. She sneered and said, "Selena, aren't you going to go out and explain yourself? No one liked you before, and now they hate you even more..."
Selena smiled faintly, not lifting her head, and said, "I'm busy, let her be."
The Cooke sisters exchanged a glance. Nova blinked and was about to go over and "harass" Selena, but Candy grabbed her collar, glared at her, and threatened in a low voice, "You better study well, or I won't bring you here next time!"
Nova had ranked last in the last exam, which was dangerous in Capital University as it could result in being advised to leave.
Nova retorted, "Sis, why are you picking on me? You ranked second to last!"
