Chapter 262 What Is She Doing Here?
When they reached the fifth floor, Ava lowered her voice and said, “A familiar face saw us.”
Keith turned his head to look at her. “That was one of our institute’s researchers. He only joined tast year-he’s a newcomer. D worry, he’s not the type to gossip.”
And even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t dare!
That was what Keith thought to himself. Looking at Ava, he said, “Ava, I can give you time to adjust to this relationship, and we go at your pace. However, I hope we don’t have to sneak around while dating.”
“I don’t mean anything else. I just mean-it feels like we’re breaking your public image,” she explained.
“My public image?” Keith lightly brushed his fingers across her brow. “I don’t care what other people think of me.
“I’m just an ordinary guy. Isn’t it normal for me to be in a relationship? Of course, I very much hope that one day I can stand bes you openly.”
Ava frowned slightly. “Strictly speaking, you are my match. We should have already gone to the marriage registry to complete th final procedures, but I keep postponing it.
“I’m sorry. Because of some personal reasons, I don’t know how to bring it up with you. For now, I’m still not ready. There’s also another reason-my grandfather only passed away earlier this year. Although mourning is no longer needed, I still want to do it of respect. Before I turn twenty-six, I will complete all the formal procedures of marriage with you all.”
Keith tapped her lightly on the forehead and smiled. “I understand. haven’t been rushing you.”
The two of them chose a relatively well-known restaurant among couples. Ava sat in her chair, resting her head on her hand as sh looked at the passing crowd outside. Suddenly, she let out a soft gasp, her expression showing a hint of surprise.
Keith looked at her and asked, “What did you see? Why are you so surprised?”
Ava opened her mouth, looking at the opposite corridor outside the window, where a man and woman were struggling with each other. The girl failed to break free and was eventually led away by the man with an arm around her shoulders.
It was Queenie.
Ava withdrew her gaze and looked at Keith. “Nothing. I just saw a senior from our school.”
After lunch, Ava returned to campus, still carrying her small fish tank.
As she entered the Orchid Court, she heard a burst of laughter from men and women ahead. She looked up and saw Tylissa surrounded by a crowd like the center of attention. She walked at the front, her expression bright and radiant as everyone paid
attention to her.
Ava and Tylissa’s eyes rnet.
Tylissa paused slightly, then quickly looked away.
“Tylissa, with your personal guidance and arrangement for this play, it’s definitely going to shine at the freshmen welcome night. I honestly can’t wait!”

The people around Tylissa spoke one after another, while Tylissa orily smiled and didn’t respond much.
Until someone asked whether she would participate in the welcome performance, Tylissa finally replied with a smile, “I will.”
“Wow, we’ll actually get to see Tylissa perform live. I’m so excited!”
“Tylissa will definitely be the highlight!”
Ava walked past them with her fish tank in her arms, and Tylissa quickly glanced at her.
She kept her eyes forward and continued on her way without a change in expression.
“That girl looks a bit familiar.”
Someone immediately spoke up. “She’s a freshman this year. I saw her photo and name on the school forum. Her name is Ava Morren. She got three commendations during military training. She was also officially recognized for it. The Agriculture Department even crowned her the department’s beauty, and recently her so-called fans have been arguing with others on the forum.”
“Strange, why is a freshman coming to Orchid Court? Don’t tell me she lives here.”
“How is that possible? A freshman living in Orchid Court? She wasn’t even known before, never heard of her name. Who knows where she came from? It’s not like she’s Tylissa-why would the school arrange for her to live here?”
“She probably just came in to find someone.”
