“Oh, alright! Miranda, go a-"

Before Madison could finish her sentence, Miranda was already far away.

Madison stood there, puzzled. “Why is she in such a hurry?” It was rare to see Miranda this flustered and In such

a rush.

Miranda had hurried out of the lecture hall, following Paul down the shaded path before finally catching up with

him.

He looked at her in surprise.

She took a deep breath, calming herself before looking him directly in the eye. “Dr. Jefferson, do you have a

problem with me?”

Paul's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected her to chase after him and even less to ask something so direct.

“...No,” he replied quietly. How could he have a problem with her?

“If not, then why have you been avoiding me?”

Paul's gaze flickered, avoiding hers. He was clearly feeling guilty.

“... wasn’t avoiding you.” He coughed. His voice was low.

“Did something happen that | don’t know about?” Miranda pressed further.

Paul froze, his mind unintentionally filling with inappropriate scenes and vivid details from his dreams. And now,

the woman from those dreams was standing right in front of him.

All he had to do was reach out. He could pull her into his arms, just like in the dream...lower his head, and gently

kiss her...

The thought jolted him back to reality, and he mentally scolded himself. What on earth was he thinking?

When he met Miranda’s clear, innocent eyes again, he felt even more ashamed.

“Dr. Jefferson? Dr. Jefferson!” she called, snapping him out of his daze.

“Huh? Sorry, | was lost in thought.”

“Are you sick?” Miranda asked, feeling concerned as she studied him.

Paul was confused.

“Your face,” she said as she pointed to her cheek. “It’s really red.”

It looked like he had a fever.

Paul beceven more flustered. “It’s probably the heat... too much sun.”

“Is that so?” Miranda seemed to accept his explanation

“I don’t know why you've been avoidinglately, and maybe | misunderstood, but that’s not what matters,

Miranda said earnestly, her eyes focused on him.

“From now on, could you promise not to do that? Or, if I've done something wrong, just telldirectly. | don’t

like guessing games.”

She didn’t want to lose Paul as a mentor and friend over something so unclear.

He gave a slight nod. “Alright.”

Miranda smiled. “Shall we go to the cafeteria for lunch then?”

Feeling relieved, Paul nodded again. “Sure.”

Madison was also in the cafeteria. Her mouth slightly opened in shock, with a few bits of beans falling out.

Sebastian, sitting across from her, finally couldn't take it anymore. “Can you close your mouth, please?”

Madison mumbled an apology, “Sorry, | just can’t.”

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “What now?”

Madison leaned in, grinning mischievously. “Hey, do you think Dr. Jefferson is handsome?”

“Yes,” Sebastian answered honestly,

“And Miranda's pretty, right?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“So, what do you think of the two of them together?”

Sebastian looked confused. “What do you mean?”

“Do they look like a good match?”

Sebastian sighed, clearly annoyed. “Just eat your food. Why are you worrying about this?”
