Chapter 522
Upon further observation, Ysabelle dismissed the possibility of Nicholas being a fellow student.
He just did not seem like a varsity student.
Nicholas replied, “Nah. I just wanted to visit the university. I'd love to study here if I have the chance.”
He had an answer ready for every question that came his way.
“I see!” Ysabelle remained unconvinced.
Cafeteria food was a whole new experience for Nicholas, who had spent his life eating the finest dishes and meals designed specifically for his nutritional balance.
Still, he would happily gorge on cafeteria food if it gave him the opportunity to have dinner with Sophie.
He stared so blatantly at Sophie that it was difficult for others not to notice.
Ysabelle whispered beside her friend's ear, “He's just staring at you.”
“I know. Just ignore him,” muttered Sophie before returning her attention to her meal.
Nicholas shrugged off her indifference. It did not stop him from achieving his goal of sharing a meal with her.
A short while later, Sophie and Ysabelle cleaned off their plates and stood up to leave.
Instead of following them, Nicholas continued eating his meal.
The food somehow tasted more delicious and was more bearable on the palate.
Ysabelle's mind was still on Nicholas when she left the cafeteria. She commented, “Hey Sophie, that guy we met earlier is pretty handsome. He'll be quite popular if he joins the entertainment industry.”
“Sure.”
Sophie's half-hearted reply directly correlated with her interest in discussing her stubborn admirer.
He's definitely not going to join the entertainment industry.
The two young women left the cafeteria and immediately ran into Tristan and Felix.
Ysabelle pouted and asked, “Why didn't you tell us you were coming? We already finished dinner.”
She regretted the missed opportunity for them to dine together.
Felix piped up, "It's fine. We came to pick you up.”
“Oh.” As an afterthought, Ysabelle added, “Let's go! Why don't I show you around the campus?”
“Sounds good!” Felix would hardly surrender the chance to spend some alone time with Ysabelle. Tristan's presence severely limited his wooing strategies, so Felix was naturally in favor of splitting up.
Ysabelle voiced her agreement, “I'm going to show Felix around the campus then, Sophie. Don't worry about us.”
"Yup. ron along!”
Tristan's arrival instantly banished any unhappy thoughts Sophie had about meeting Nicholas earlier.
Seeing a loved one was clearly guaranteed to improve one's mood.
Now, Sophie was in much better spirits.
Ysabelle and Felix walked off hand-in-hand. Tristan also held hands with Sophie before they wandered around the campus.
They were such a handsome couple that even in a university campus teeming with good-looking students, Tristan and Sophie easily stood out among the crowd.
They instantly commanded everyone's attention and envy.
A photography club member who noticed the beautiful couple hastily raised his camera and snapped a photo of them.
He checked the photo and nodded to himself in satisfaction.
What was a careless shot turned out to be as good as a well-timed photoshoot.
He had only managed to capture their backs, but the composition gave the viewer plenty of room for imagination.
Unbeknownst to the happy couple, Nicholas had been trailing them after finishing his dinner.
His heart throbbed with pain as he observed how gently Sophie behaved around Tristan.
Nicholas did not want for much. He would be content if Sophie could shoot him gazes filled with such tenderness instead of hatred.
What did I do wrong? I met Sophie first! How did Tristan swoop in and steal her away?
Indignance swelled in Nicholas' chest.
The campus at that hour was bustling with students and boasted a lovely view.
