"Exercise more, eat lean meats, reduce snacking, and don’t stay up late!” Cillian said to Lucy seriously.
Lucy smiled. She felt much better after getting her mood ruined by Matthew’s mother just now.
“You’re hilarious. If it was that easy, I wouldn’t be asking you for your weight loss secret.”
Her words made Cillian blush. “Oh, it’s our turn. You’re dripping wet, so you should go pay first.”
Cillian was confused as to why she looked so disheveled, but Lucy nodded like it was nothing.
The yellow dress she wore today was thick enough to not expose her too much even though it was wet. She was just a little cold.
After settling the bill, Lucy put the coat on herself. It was a man's coat, so it was a bit big. However, it was at least big enough to keep her petite body warm.
Cillian did not leave after she paid. He kept a proper distance from her while he smiled and joked with her.
He had a gentleness about him. He maintained just the right distance from her so that she would not feel uncomfortable. Lucy was starting to feel much more relaxed.
They strolled around the whole campus while chatting. Cillian talked to her like any other classmate. “How have you been lately?”
Lucy instantly felt down when he asked that. She forced a smile and said, “Fine, it’s just…”
She could not bring herself to continue. Cillian understood that she was uncomfortable talking about it, so he quickly changed the topic. “Life doesn’t always go the way we want it to, but it’ll pass. Good things will eventually come our way.
“By the way, it’s almost noon. Have you eaten? They’ve added some great options in the cafeteria recently. Would you like me to take you there?”
To be frank, the prices here were really high. The students here rarely went up to the second floor unless they were especially well-off.
The money they spent there would be enough for them to eat out, so why spend it at the school cafeteria?
Since not many people were there, Lucy felt at ease. Not only was she eating with Cillian, but she was also wearing a man’s coat. Anyone who saw them would think that they were a couple.
Even if Matthew was not aware of it, Lucy did not think that it was a good idea.
Why did it feel like she was cheating?
A sudden pang of guilt hit her, and she wondered what Matthew was up to.
