Noelle smiled and leaned against her shoulder. “You’re adorable, Ava. No wonder all the guys in the Agriculture Department are so into you.”

While they were joking around, Ethan appeared on the stage.

Noelle immediately sat up straight, back rigid, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the man on stage. “My idol is here. Gosh, I’m so happy.”

As if to prove her point, the moment Ethan entered, waves of cheers erupted across the hall. His name echoed endlessly through the venue.

The noise was so loud that Ava couldn’t help covering her ears. “Is he really that popular?”

Amid the roaring crowd, Noelle leaned close to Ava’s ear and said, “That’s Ethan Brock! He graduated from Starry Heavens Law. I heard he wanted to be a lawyer, but he ended up taking the civil service exam and became a judge instead.

“Back when he was in law school, he was pretty well–known. According to his peers, he never failed a single course, and his IQ is insanely high. Anyway, he was super popular back in school. A guy named Sebastian Montclair graduated with him, and he’s now the vice dean of the Law Department. Together, they were known as Starry Heavens‘ Undefeatable Duo.

“Have you heard about the law firm going viral recently? He’s the one who founded it.”

Ava gave Noelle a once–over. “You really know your stuff. You even talk about things from so many years ago like it’s nothing.”

“Well, I wanted to become a judge, so I did my research. Now, even though I’m studying agriculture, I still keep up with stuff that’s happening in the law industry.”

While the two whispered to each other, the dean of the Law Department stepped forward, raised his hand to signal for silence, and delivered an opening speech.

After that came an hour and a half of the main lecture. Ava sat in her seat, listening carefully. Watching Ethan speak confidently on stage, she saw a side of him she wasn’t familiar with.

There was no doubt his professional knowledge was solid. More importantly, his lecture wasn’t boring. Even someone like her, who knew almost nothing about the field, could understand it and follow his rhythm.

Several times when he lifted his gaze, Ava felt that he had seen her. After that, his eyes seemed to return to her direction again and again.

In this grand hall filled with thousands of people, they exchanged silent glances–no one noticed, nor could they guess what was going on.

Ava took a small sip of water to cover it up. She sneaked a glance at Noelle, who was listening attentively and hadn’t noticed anything.

After the lecture ended, there was a Q&A session lasting roughly thirty minutes.

Many students raised their hands. For the first twenty minutes or so, most of the law students asked professional questions. But in the final moments, a girl suddenly made a passionate confession in front of everyone, and the serious atmosphere shifted at once.

The girl’s public confession was direct and bold, carrying a kind of fearless determination as she waited for Ethan’s response.

A leader from the law school quickly stepped in to interrupt. “Please refrain from asking personal questions.”

Noelle clutched her chest. She glanced at the bold girl, then at the man on stage, and muttered, “What is she even thinking? How dare she shoot her shot with my idol! Does she think she’s able to bag him?”

After saying that, Noelle continued grumbling under her breath, but with the noise in the hall, no one heard her.

Ethan responded, “Thank you for your interest. I’m sorry, but you’re not my type.”

After speaking, his gaze shifted toward Ava.

Sebastian pushed up the glasses on his nose and looked at Ethan. He had noticed that throughout the entire lecture, Ethan kept glancing in a certain direction.

Ethan might look serious on the surface, but during the past two hours, was he really focused? Only he knew.

In the past, when faced with such unreasonable confessions, he would simply ignore them completely, treating the person like they were invisible.

But today, he had actually responded. That wasn’t like him at all.

There was only one explanation–Ethan’s girlfriend had to be here!
