Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Secretly Photographed

The places where you handle dormitory procedures and commuting procedures happen to be on the east and west sides. The path Cecilia Vaughn walked on had very few people passing by.

Upon hearing that sweet call, Cecilia paused for a moment and then frowned slightly as she turned back.

"Classmate, are you calling me?"

It was a rather cute girl, dressed in denim overalls and white sneakers. Her long black hair was neither permed nor dyed, tied into a ponytail, looking extremely youthful.

The girl’s eyes were very bright, her smile on her face radiant as the rising sun. That lighthearted expression made Cecilia’s heart flutter slightly.

— This girl’s smile is so infectious, as if she never tasted the hardships of the world...

At the moment Cecilia turned and asked, the other girl blinked her round eyes and actually blushed looking at Cecilia.

She hesitantly stretched out her hand.

"Wow, miss, you’re so beautiful!"

"My name’s Bella Prescott, I’m a freshman in the arts department. Can we be friends?"

Cecilia chuckled softly.

Such a pure child indeed, well, only seventeen or eighteen years old.

She gracefully shook the girl’s hand.

"Hello, I’m Cecilia Vaughn, also a freshman in the arts department."

...

Both happen to be day students, which is a rare coincidence on a university campus. Thus, Cecilia was charmed by Bella Prescott.

Bella was very friendly, she didn’t need Cecilia to inquire, within a few minutes, she disclosed every bit of her background.

While looking at Cecilia, she blushed again.

"Cecilia, could you be my model? I love beautiful people the most!"

Seeing Bella, Cecilia inexplicably thought of her brother Evan Vaughn, who was about to take the college entrance exam, and a sense of tenderness welled up in her heart.

"Sure."

"Wow, Cecilia, you’re so nice!"

Bella jumped with joy, three feet high, and began to suggest that Cecilia should live off-campus with her.

"Cecilia, have you found a place to stay? Want to stay with me? I rented a house opposite the university, it’s 1500 a month, the master bedroom is yours, just the two of us, and you only need to pay 700."

Cecilia helplessly glanced at Bella. This girl is truly a thorough beauty enthusiast. They hadn’t known each other long, and she was already so unguarded.

What if she’s a bad person?

It was evident that Bella probably came from a very harmonious family, well-protected from a young age, very different from herself.

Cecilia felt a slight pang of envy and melancholy, she smiled and politely declined.

"No need, I live at home."

"Oh! Cecilia, you’re a local of Stellerton! Lucky you!"

Bella stuck out her tongue, somewhat embarrassedly scratching her head.

"I’m just a wild child from Veridia’s countryside, Cecilia, don’t look down on my limited knowledge."

"Veridia is great, my grandmother also teaches in the countryside."

Cecilia had more affection for Bella due to her self-mockery.

...

The whole way, Bella chattered continuously, the more she looked, the more she thought Cecilia was extremely beautiful.

"Cecilia, you’re really good-looking!"

"Before coming to Stellerton University, I hung around the school forum for a long time. Did you know there’s a new campus belle selection after the new school year begins? You should enter, you’ll definitely be the undeniable number one!"

Cecilia was taken aback but then shook her head lightly.

"I’m not interested in those things."

These campus belle and beau rankings tend to easily attract trouble. Cecilia had been called the campus belle for three years in high school, and it only brought her trouble.

"Oh! I see!"

The two finished processing the day student procedures and passed by various club enrollment booths in front of the school. Bella’s eyes lit up.

"Cecilia, look, look! Wow, that’s the Dynasty Threads Society, the clothes are so beautiful! And the e-sports club next to it, do you game, Cecilia?"

Seeing Cecilia shake her head, Bella was a bit conflicted.

"The school requires us to join at least one club, for credits too. Cecilia, I want to join with you."

Such a great beauty, with a seemingly wonderful personality, Bella decided not to leave Cecilia alone.

For credits, one had to join a club...

Cecilia furrowed her brows slightly, scanning the eclectic variety of clubs, hesitating which one to choose.

The people recruiting for clubs noticed Cecilia’s exceptional beauty, and although Bella wasn’t a stunning beauty, she was lively and cute. Many promoters crowded around.

"Classmate, join our Dynasty Threads Society! You’re so pretty, you’d definitely be the face of our club!"

"Don’t go to the Hanfu Club, too many rules. Join us at the Superstar Dance Association! You both will surely fall in love with street dance and hip hop!"

"Two beauties, come and have a look! There are so many handsome guys in Stellerton University Computer Association, they can even repair your laptops and phones for free!"

...

Bella was overwhelmed by her choices, almost thinking every club seemed tempting.

Just about to ask Cecilia which club she wanted to join, she noticed Cecilia heading toward the practically deserted Taekwondo club booth.

"Hello, I’d like to join the Taekwondo club."

"..."

The Taekwondo club booth had very few people; joining such a physically demanding club was too tiring, not many girls liked it, although some guys did, mostly burly dudes.

The promoter at the booth was lost in his phone when a clear and gentle female voice interrupted him, prompting him to lazily look up.

"Fill out a form, our club... umm..."

The promoter was a guy; initially, he was nonchalantly introducing the club, but upon seeing Cecilia’s face, his voice stuttered.

Oh dear, a great beauty!

Why on earth would she want to join their club!

Not only was the Taekwondo club promoter puzzled, but the people from other clubs were almost shooting daggers at them with their eyes. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Why, such a beautiful girl, so slender and delicate, let alone kicking people, if she’s even slightly hit, it’d probably hurt for days, right!?

The male promoter, a bit nervous, clutched his hands tightly, almost too embarrassed to look at Cecilia.

"Um...Classmate, are you sure you want to join our club?"

If the big shots in the club find out, who would dare to be rough with such a beautiful girl!

But if they let her go, it’d be too much of a shame.

...

Bella was also very troubled, immediately tugging Cecilia’s sleeve to stop her.

"Cecilia, practicing Taekwondo is exhausting and hot, we might as well join the Yoga club next door; it even helps with body shaping!"

Cecilia smiled lightly.

"It’s for self-defense."

"..."

Such a good point that Bella was left speechless.

Amidst everyone’s speechless gazes, Cecilia directly picked up a pen and began filling out the club registration form.

...

The Taekwondo club promoter kept staring dazedly at Cecilia.

So beautiful...

He secretly pulled out his phone and snapped some photos of Cecilia filling out the form...

After taking several shots, he couldn’t resist directly submitting them to the campus beauty selection at Stellerton University!
