Chapter 480 The Lucky Charm

Every word on the page was in Iris’s handwriting.

It listed the basics: her age, zodiac sign, hometown, height, weight, and hobbies.

It also noted her favorite food, animals, flowers, and celebrities.

She wrote down her goals: get into Stanford University, major in medicine, and keep improving herself.

One quiet wish stood on the page: to watch the northern lights.

During his senior year, Julian pushed himself relentlessly. He never wasted a single second.

On the exam oath–taking day, he transferred out of his original class into the top advanced class.

His seat was right behind Iris.

The principal and teachers delivered fiery speeches onstage, and every student paid close

attention.

Everyone except Julian–his gaze stayed locked on Iris.

Every student had their own reason to study. Some fought to change their fate, others to give their families a better life.

Julian only had one simple reason: to get closer to Iris.

He kept grinding, desperate to narrow the gap between them.

He feared education would one day become her standard for a partner. If he fell behind, he would never stand a chance.

When the whole class stood to take the oath, Julian rose right after Iris.

She stared at the national flag up front. He stared at her back.

They spoke the same oath, filled with the same determination.

For Iris, studying always came first.

She saw her classmates as nothing more than passing strangers. She only cared about her

studies and never bothered remembering unimportant people.

One week before the SATS, Julian was completely worn out.

He had no time left to polish his grades. Out of desperation, he went to buy two luck charms.

He mustered up his courage and blocked Iris’s path outside the library.

“Is there something you need?” Iris held her books, exhaustion evident in her dull eyes.

Julian pulled a charm out of his pocket.

“I

got

this yesterday. I hope it brings you luck and gets you into your dream school.”

Iris glanced at the charm with a faint smile.

“Keep it for yourself.”

“I already have one.” Julian sounded nervous.

“I got an extra. We keep running into each other in the library. I think it’s fate.”

Iris sighed and pulled out her phone.

“How much do I owe you? I’ll buy it.”

“It’s free. It’s a gift.”

“Then I can’t take it.” Her tone left no room for argument.

Julian hesitated briefly, then pulled out his own phone.

“Just pay me one dollar.”

Iris sent the money and tucked the charm inside her book.

“Thank you.” She moved to walk past him.

“Wait.” Julian hurried to stop her.

“What else?”

Dim streetlights lined the quiet campus. Iris was drained, dying to head back to her dorm to shower and sleep.

Julian pressed his lips tight, breathing shakily from nerves.

“Are you still set on Stanford University?”

“Yes.” She gave a plain nod.

“Alright.” A small, content smile tugged at Julian’s lips.

“Good night.” He waved lightly.

“Good night.” She smiled softly in return.

She turned and walked away.

Her smile was a gentle, quiet breeze. It swept over his heart and left lingering ripples.

She was stunning.

She had a pure, untouched aura. No messy thoughts, no impurities–nothing but gentle, clean beauty that put his mind at ease.

Iris would probably forget this conversation by the next day, even his name.

But Julian would never forget these days he’d struggled for her.

It had been brutal, exhausting, and draining. He’d pushed his body to the limit.

Born into a wealthy family, he could have taken the easy route his whole life.
