But Shen Wangshu keenly noticed that the boy twitched his ears.
Anxia's painting.
He was clearly a little nervous because a girl was walking over.
He couldn't help but be nervous. The two girls walking over were his fiancée, whom he was about to get engaged to, and his number one admirer at the Federal Academy.
If it weren't for the need to maintain that composed and calm demeanor, Shen Wangshu felt that the young man would definitely have fled in panic. Even so, seeing his tense shoulders and tightly pursed thin lips, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
She certainly disliked getting engaged to strangers, yet she held this young hero, who dared to die in the starry sea, in a newfound respect. To be engaged to the darling daughter of the powerful Federal Field family, this young man's family background was equally extraordinary. He clearly had a bright future ahead of him, yet he faced death without a trace of fear.
The heart of a true hero resides within him.
As Shen Wangshu was thinking, she suddenly felt a pause beside her.
"Senior?" she asked, tilting her head in confusion.
"I'm not going over there." Lori glared at the boy fiercely, as if she wanted to devour him alive, but still shook her head and said.
She wasn't the type to cling on endlessly. She had liked Kerry a lot for many years and had even fought with many girls and boys for him before, but that was when Kerry wasn't engaged and didn't rightfully belong to anyone.
Since there is already another girl by his side, why should she cling on, making herself look bad and becoming a third party in someone else's marriage? Lori has her own pride; she can go through fire and water for the man she loves and be jealous, but she cannot become the woman who destroys his family.
She glanced at the innocent-looking Shen Wangshu and sighed.
She was so soft and squishy, she couldn't bear to hurt this junior schoolmate.
In any case, her image never appeared in the eyes of this handsome young man.
All those years of admiration were nothing but wishful thinking on her part.
never mind.
"Why?" Shen Wangshu's voice carried a faint smile.
She was not mistaken; this girl, who had also died in battle here, had a heart more beautiful and pure than that of any other beautiful girl.
Compared to Jasmine beside her, the red-haired girl's purity made one's heart soften even more.
She had no intention of marrying Kerry. After all, she could sense that the black-haired boy in front of her was not her Ah Xuan, so she would not have any involvement with him. Since that was the case, why not give Lori a chance?
If their lives hadn't ended in the prime of their lives, if their lives had continued, would they have had different futures? Shen Wangshu didn't know what they would become in the future, but at this moment, she was willing to give each other a chance. She stood on tiptoe and looked at Luo Li intently for a long time.
Beneath her sky-blue eyes, the red-haired girl stammered, "What...what are you doing?"
"I won't get engaged. My senior didn't take anything from me," Shen Wangshu said gently.
"But……"
"The engagement is just an intention. I don't know why it's causing such a stir. Even my sister hasn't confirmed it. I'll tell her later that my senior and I aren't a good match."
"A system error has occurred in this plane." Admiral Effie desperately wanted her sister to have a happy life.
Federation soldiers could be killed at any moment; their father and three brothers had perished in the vast sea of stars. Effie knew she held great power now, but if she died, leaving only her little sister Alice, no one would care for her. She selected all the most outstanding and virtuous young men in the Federation, intending to marry Alice off.
She hoped for a man who could love her sister as much as she loved Alice, and guarantee her happiness for the rest of her life.
Alice chose to go to Kerry because Kerry was renowned at the Commonwealth Academy, had a commendable character, and came from a very good family, making him the most reliable support for Alice.
However, this was just a thought; General Effie hadn't actually made a decision yet.
She wanted to see if Kerry was someone she could entrust her life to.
However, Shen Wangshu's concession only made the red-haired girl feel even more ashamed. She looked down at the blonde girl, who only reached her shoulder, and saw that her smile held no trace of gloom. She couldn't help but clutch her hair and whisper, "You don't need to do this for me." She wanted to touch Shen Wangshu's soft little face, but seeing her own rough, strong hands, she smiled awkwardly. Her gaze no longer fell on Keli, and she proudly declared, "I'm not one to steal someone else's love. Even if you don't get engaged, I don't want him!"
Her eyes shone as brightly as the badge on her shoulder.
Shen Wangshu was speechless, finding it difficult to put into words.
Um... the outstanding young girl Kerry lost two admirers all of a sudden, she really didn't mean it!
Losing both a fiancée and a top suitor doesn't count as losing both love and money, right?
She felt a little guilty, but then she saw Kerry looking at her with a complicated expression.
Although he tried his best to appear as a chosen one, he was still a young man, an inexperienced student, and the complex emotions on his face made Shen Wangshu struggle to suppress a laugh. The light-energy sword in the boy's arms was crooked, clearly unable to maintain its shape, yet he pursed his lips and still cast his dark eyes out the window with a calm, indifferent expression.
Behind him, Jasmine showed a hint of surprise, then timidly approached him.
