Chapter 40: Campus Chaos
Back at the Golden Coast residence, as soon as Lilian finished her thoughts, she swiftly slipped into her spatial realm. The air shimmered softly as she arrived, only to be immediately greeted by a whirlwind of white fur.
“Moooom! Finally, you’re here! I’m bored out of my mind stuck in here! You left me alone with this stupid mosquito every single day—I’m about to lose it!” Sunny’s voice rang out, exaggerated and full of melodrama.
Right on his heels, Blue zoomed over, clearly irritated. “Mosquito? Who’s the mosquito? You are! Master, this little fox won’t stop complaining. He says he needs a bigger sky, claims you’re wasting his talents by keeping him locked up.”
Sunny shot back without missing a beat, “No, you’re the mosquito!”
“No, you are!” Blue retorted, their playful bickering filling the room.
Lilian watched the two with a mixture of amusement and mild exasperation. She smiled softly, shaking her head at their antics, then turned away and made her way toward the loft. The space was quiet, filled with the faint scent of herbs and old wood, a hidden sanctuary she’d stumbled upon—a fully equipped alchemy chamber designed for the ancient art of pill refining.
Every tool and instrument was crafted according to traditional methods, a painstaking process that required patience and skill. Though more labor-intensive than modern machinery, the results were undeniably superior—something Lilian valued deeply.
After carefully sorting through the necessary herbs, she began the meticulous process of refining medicine. With Skyreach Group’s pharmaceutical division now operational, her focus was on developing their flagship product. Without a standout offering, there was no chance of making a mark in Dracovia’s competitive market.
For several days, Lilian balanced her school responsibilities with intense sessions in the alchemy chamber, the hours blurring as she poured herself into perfecting her craft.
Then Monday morning arrived.
As Lilian approached the school gates, she immediately sensed something was different. A large crowd had gathered, people waving banners, flags, and photos, their eyes fixed eagerly on the road ahead as if waiting for someone important.
“Where are they? My dreamboat can’t be late!” a voice whispered excitedly nearby.
“Finally, they’re back!” another chimed in.
“I heard Yulia’s back too,” someone added.
“With Yulia here, Lilian doesn’t stand a chance anymore,” a girl muttered, a hint of rivalry in her tone.
“As long as my handsome boys have returned, I’m happy,” another declared, eyes sparkling.
“I wonder if they got even hotter after studying in America!” a voice teased, laughter bubbling around.
Listening to the excited chatter, Lilian pieced it together. She recalled hearing about the school’s campus heartthrobs—several boys who had gone on exchange programs to America, becoming the center of attention upon their return.
Just as she was about to step forward, a voice called out urgently, “Lilian! Lilian!” Natalie pushed through the crowd, drawing everyone’s gaze toward her—and then to Lilian.
All eyes locked onto her.
Natalie’s face was alight with excitement. “Lilian! My dream guys are back!”
“Dream guys?” Lilian raised an eyebrow, amused by her friend’s starry-eyed enthusiasm. “Alright, which ones this time? Tell me everything.”
Natalie was about to launch into her usual fan-girl spiel when the crowd suddenly erupted into screams. The distant roar of sports cars grew louder and louder, the excitement reaching a fever pitch.
“Jeremy!”
“Jose!”
