Chapter 258 Nothing Happened, Right?

“Maybe I should just quit esports and try being a full-time novelist? I could use the pen name ‘Orange You Can’t Love Enough’ and publish on Wattpad! Sounds pretty sweet, right?”

Before long, the orientation party day arrived.

Orica University’s orientation party was only open to first-year students. Sophomores, juniors, seniors, and graduate students—master’s or PhD—could only watch through the live stream, or they could just soak in the atmosphere outside the auditorium.

The auditorium had been set up a day in advance. Now, staff and student council members were keeping things in order. The representatives were also practicing their speeches on stage.

Tilda got the notice and came to the auditorium. She was confident she could do well with the speech, but her personality demanded that once she decided to do something, she had to do it perfectly. So she decided to come here to rehearse.

She happened to see Wade on stage, practicing his speech. Kyla was watching Wade from the audience. Wade was a senior and was going to graduate this year. Before Tilda became famous, Wade was the most brilliant student at Orica University. The school generously gave Wade a chance to give a speech. Of course, this was also to please Jenson Group. Wade’s career plan was to get into a famous university abroad for further study. He had already passed the IELTS test and gotten an admission letter.

When Tilda saw Wade on stage, she turned and left. Wade saw Tilda and instantly stopped his speech. After hesitating for a moment, he finally mustered the courage.

“Kyla, you’re here… I suddenly have to go out for a bit.”

“What? Wade, we’re still practicing!”

Without another word, Wade jumped down from the stage and ran after Tilda’s retreating figure.

Kyla saw everything. Her nails dug into her palms as she clenched her fists—painful, but her heart hurt even more. Wade, why? Tilda did so many cruel things to you. Why do you care about her even more? Why are you even distancing yourself from me because of Tilda? Did she put some kind of curse on you?

The season had slowly shifted from autumn to winter. Tilda slipped her hands into the pockets of her coat. She exhaled, a small puff of white mist forming in the cold air. The temperature had already dropped into the 50s. Slosa got as cold as 37 degrees at its coldest around midnight. She had lived for so long, but she had never seen it snow in Slosa.

She heard some quick footsteps. Wade didn’t call out Tilda’s name. He just walked straight up to her. Tilda looked at Wade coldly and didn’t say a word, like the cold in the air. It made your skin crawl, made your heart feel cold.

Wade took a deep breath, mustering his courage.

“Tilda, I’ve made up my mind… I’m going abroad to study, to improve myself and achieve my dreams!”

Tilda was puzzled. So… What does that have to do with me? Had Wade lost his mind? Didn’t he know she’d already cut ties with the Jensons? After everything that’s happened, why did Wade have the nerve to come and talk to Tilda about this?

“Tilda, I admit I’m not as good as you, but… I’ll become better. I stopped you just to say this. Sorry for bothering you.”

After Wade said this, he left. He didn’t stop Tilda again.

Wade knew he had just acted like a madman. He could tell from the way Tilda looked at him. She probably thought he was crazy.

Didn’t matter. He was already as bad as he could get in her eyes. He didn’t care about one more bad impression. He just wanted Tilda to know what he felt. In the future, if anyone talked about Wade, they wouldn’t mention Tilda’s good-for-nothing brother! Wade would give it his all to become a brother who wouldn’t embarrass Tilda! Even if it was already a thing of the past.

Tilda said nothing. For once, she watched Wade’s retreating figure a little longer. She thought to herself, Did my rebirth quietly change a lot of things? For example, this arrogant Wade actually turned into a humble lunatic? Had Tilda hit him so hard that he lost his mind?

But… That wasn’t Tilda’s problem anymore.

Meanwhile, Kyla was anxiously waiting in the auditorium. She wondered if she should go after Wade and see what he wanted to say to Tilda. Is it too late to go now? I should have gone with him!

Just as Kyla was lost in her anxious thoughts, Wade came back. Kyla’s face lit up. “Wade, you’re back already? You’ve only been gone like five minutes. Nothing happened, right?”
