As Cordelia watched Elijah's slender fingertips dancing on the piano keys, she gradually smiled.
Elijah unexpectedly fulfilled another girlhood dream for her.
That was playing the piano with Elijah.
When they reached the latter half of the piece, Cordelia simply refused to continue playing and focused on watching him, immersing herself in the beautiful music Elijah brought to her.
At the end of the song, Elijah turned his gaze towards Cordelia, looking at her sparkling and smiling eyes. Unable to resist, he leaned in and kissed her eyes.
"Sorry, you're so cute that I couldn't help but want to kiss you." After the kiss, he explained.
Cordelia wasn't angry about it. She continued, "Elijah, did you date Dorothy in college?"
"Dorothy?" Elijah appeared to be trying hard to recall, then said, "I don't remember what she looks like, but I vaguely remember that there was someone like that in our department."
Cordelia raised an eyebrow. "Really? Dorothy was a campus beauty. You don't have any impression of her?"
She took out her phone, opened the university campus forum, and showed Elijah a post about the campus beauty contest.
After seeing Dorothy's photo, Elijah nodded. "I remember now, but back then, I liked girls who didn't wear makeup and looked very gentle. I didn't like her type."
In the photo, Dorothy had long, curly hair, and her features were striking. The heavy makeup made her look very photogenic.
As Elijah spoke, he continued scrolling down and pointed at a side profile photo, saying, "I liked girls like her."
Cordelia took a closer look, and her face immediately turned red, like a ripe apple.
"How... how did you know there's a picture of me?"
Elijah suddenly laughed. "Why are you so flustered?"
"It's nothing," Cordelia quickly denied, "I just feel a bit embarrassed."
"You silly girl." Elijah patted her head. "It's just a side profile photo, and you ranked second in the votes. You were quite popular back then."
