Chapter 95
Before Corinne could say anything, the girls next to her got all excited.
“What’s wrong? You can’t play?”
“If you can’t, then stop pretending to be an all-round student!”
“Since you can’t even play the ukulele, it’s obvious that your reputation as an all-round top student was hyped up by the dean. Who’s going to believe you if you say that you don’t have any special relationship with the dean?”
Corinne has never claimed to be a so-called ‘all-round top student’. It was only because the dean was fond of her and praised her achievements constantly that such a reputation came to stick. Furthermore, she was often called to the office by the dean for about an hour, and the reason was that the dean enjoyed math, and she happened to be the top student in the math department. Whenever the dean had any mathematical problem, he would seek her out to discuss mathematical formulas and humbly ask her for advice regardless of his status as her elder.
It was a simple routine borne of a healthy relationship, yet it warped into something so ghastly when mentioned by all of those people! The dean appreciated her academic ability, and he was one of the rare people whom she could feel comfortable with during her time as a student. She thus respected him very much, and she would never tolerate becoming the reason that her name was tarnished.
When Corinne thought of all that, she agreed to the girls’ request. “Fine. I’ll play the ukulele, then!” As soon as she made that remark, the people around immediately laughed.
“Don’t push yourself if you can’t!”
“Didn’t you just walk off the stage because you didn’t know how to play? None of us will believe you now that you say you’ll go up there and perform. Hahaha!”
“When I say ‘play a piece’, I mean playing a piece of music! Everyone has Don’t expect to get away with just making random noise!”
At that moment, on the balcony opposite the private room, Sunny sat on the terrace out of boredom because he was too young to be allowed to drink and play poker with Jeremy and Zeke.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
