Lucas was not afraid of being stared by the people around him. He had been enjoying the lively atmosphere like this and even raised his eyebrows to greet the girls around him every now and then.
Jane, on the other hand, was worried that her brother was being too enthusiastic.
Moreover, she was afraid of meeting acquaintances here.
In the past, Jane was quite influential in this university. Even now, there was still a picture of her in the activity center of University A.
However, in view of her brand new appearance, even if the people who knew her in the past might not be able to recognize her now.
But Jane couldn't help feeling nervous.
After all, she spent the happiest time in her life here after the death of her mother.
For her, University A was a sacred place that marked her happiness.
However, now as Jane, she already had no connection with University A.
She could not show up at University A again as Jessica.
Lucas was not afraid of being stared by the people around him at all, and he even waved at them.
Jane suggested him to keep a low profile.
[At the back gate of University A]
It was getting dark gradually.
The snack street near the back gate was already crowded with food stands.
And there were various kinds of snacks provided there.
Roy had already climbed off Oliver. Now that it was getting dark and there were many people at the back gate, they were not so conspicuous in the crowd.
Jasmine bent down and asked Roy, "Roy, what do you want to eat? How about I buy you the food you like?"
Roy kept shaking his head.
Oliver asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Roy stared at the vendors who were busy preparing food but he didn't know what to eat.
He had only seen a scene like this on TV, but when it came to the real food in front of him, he was a little scared to make a choice.
There were so many things that he had never seen before.
Roy kept shaking his head.
Oliver knew that Roy was just curious instead of wanting to try the food here for real.
They walked to a stall selling fried chicken fillet. Roy saw a row of girls in front of them and he pulled the sleeve of Oliver.
Most of the time at home, Oliver rarely allowed Roy to have chicken, let alone fried food.
He did so because eating chicken might lead to early puberty in children. Oliver learned all this parenting knowledge from reference materials.
Although he had invited the most professional nutritionist to prepare the meal, it was still necessary to know the details of raising the child himself.
Oliver thought the food sold at the street stalls was unhygienic.
He refused to eat this kind of food.
Roy seemed to be just curious.
Only then did Jasmine say, "This lady who sells chicken fillet had been here for years ever since I studied in this university. At that time, many girls would come here every night to buy chicken fillet as their midnight snack."
Oliver wondered if Jessica would also come here to buy chicken fillet when she was studying at University A.
He noticed that the people who were waiting in line were all girls. All of a sudden, he felt that it was Jessica who was talking to this vendor in the front row.
Oliver was shocked by his own thoughts.
He must have thought too much that he mistook the woman in front of him for Jessica.
Oliver patted his head to remind himself that he was with Roy now and that he should not be affected by his random imagination.
He said to Roy, "Let's go and see something else."
"Do you want this, Roy? I'll go buy some for you." Jasmine asked.
Oliver and Roy replied in unison, "No."
