Ed looked at Angelica's departing back, left alone in this quiet grove, with helplessness and a bitter smile on his face. He just couldn't understand why he ended up in such a situation when he was clearly the victim. Is it really so difficult to get a noble to apologize to a commoner?
"Are we going to start delivering breakfast tomorrow?" Ed muttered to himself, his voice full of confusion and helplessness about the future.
At dawn, two major events caused a stir in the Arcane Academy.
The first was that a first-grade boy named Ed did something jaw-dropping - he openly sent breakfast to Angelica, the arrogant "rose" in everyone's eyes. What was even more unexpected was that the always arrogant Angelica actually accepted the gift calmly!
In this arcane academy, Angelica has been famous since she entered the school in the first year. Her outstanding family background and cool temperament make her like a bright but unreachable star in the campus.
And after the points challenge, Ed also emerged in the academy and gained a small reputation of his own.
After this incident, the curious people did some in-depth research and found out that Ed was just a commoner from the atrium of the Arcane Academy.
Such a huge gap in status was like a dazzling flash of lightning, which instantly ignited the topic of the entire college. Many students were amazed and admired Ed's extraordinary courage.
The atrium of the Arcane Academy has now become the focus of everyone's attention. Ed stood tall in the center of the crowd. Although his face was calm, his slightly trembling hands revealed his inner nervousness. He held the small steamed bun, which still smelled of condensed milk, in both hands reverently and handed it to Angelica respectfully.
Around him, the students who were there to watch the fun were secretly speculating on the direction of this farce. They expected that Angelica would be dismissive of Ed's actions and simply ignore them.
However, the reality surprised everyone. The "Rose" who always showed her arrogance actually took the breakfast handed to her by Ed without hesitation.
"It's not bad, but the temperature of this little bun is a little undercooked, and you didn't take the time to keep it warm in your arms. You should be more careful next time."
Angelica gazed down at Ed, seeing him bowing his head humbly in front of her, her heart filled with pride, as if she was appreciating a wonderful play that she had carefully directed.
On the side, Belinda was also looking at Ed with surprise. She had also heard of the name Ed. After all, in the points challenge, there were not many people who could score 137 points in the first challenge.
However, after her previous investigation, she already knew clearly that Ed's civilian origin was.
Now, such an ordinary poor boy actually dared to send breakfast to her best friend Angelica, and was gladly accepted by Angelica. This scene really made her feel surprised and interesting. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little disdain in her heart: This boy, is he overestimating himself and can't see clearly his own status?
Angelica snorted softly, took light steps, turned around and walked towards the classroom.
Belinda noticed that her reaction was a little strange, so she hurried to catch up and asked softly, "Angelica, you're leaving now? Just letting him go so easily? What's your response?"
"Response? Why should I respond to him?" Angelica looked indifferent, as if she was a little puzzled by Belinda's question.
"It's obvious. This guy named Ed brought you breakfast and you accepted it. In my opinion, he is probably interested in you. What about you? How do you feel about him?" Belinda's eyes were flashing with curiosity. She stared at Angelica closely, eager to know her true thoughts.
"This is ridiculous. He just brought me breakfast. I am very kind to accept his so-called 'admiration'. As for what I think of him, hum..."
Angelica raised the corner of her mouth happily. Her goal this time had been achieved, which was to make Ed one of her many suitors and make him a poor guy who could only have unrequited love in secret.
In this way, no matter what Ed said in the future, others would only regard it as the unreasonable behavior of a person who couldn't get what he wanted, and would not believe a single word he said.
Ed stood quietly in the atrium, watching Angelica's back as she left. His ears were filled with his classmates' mixed looks of pity and ridicule, as well as the whispers that came like a tide.
He only felt his cheeks burning and his ears had already turned red. He lowered his head, his heart full of helplessness and bitterness. He knew very well that he was being played around by Angelica this time, but what could he do? He clearly understood that with his commoner identity and low status, he was powerless to change anything.
If you ask your good friends for help, it will only cause them more trouble and may even make them worry about you.
In this case, just let others misunderstand you. After all, other people have their own mouths, how can you control them one by one?
After hearing this, Konan and others were stunned and hurried to Ed's side. It was hard for them to imagine that Ed, who seemed calm and composed on weekdays, would actually have feelings for a woman as unpredictable as Angelica.
"Great, Ed! You've made a big splash by choosing such a difficult target for yourself right from the start. But don't worry, as a brother, I absolutely support you!" As Conan spoke, a beautiful picture emerged in his mind: If his good brother Ed could really take down Angelica, then wouldn't his father have to be courteous to Ed in the future?
Can he use his relationship with Ed to change his father's attitude towards him, or even make him bow to him?
Ed naturally had no idea of what was in Conan's mind. If he knew, he would definitely be amused and confused by his peculiar "filial piety".
He glanced at Ke Nan helplessly, shook his head gently, and sighed, "Don't let your imagination run wild. There is nothing wrong between me and Angelica. There is nothing as complicated as you imagine."
"Oh, what do you mean by innocent? Don't you think about it? Since the beginning of the school year, countless people have given gifts to Angelica, but you are the only one who made her accept the gift. If there is no special reason, who would believe it? You, don't hide it from us good brothers anymore, you are not loyal!" Ke Nan said with certainty, his eyes full of suspicion and ridicule.
The corner of Ed's mouth twitched slightly. He really didn't know how to respond to what Conan said, so he simply didn't explain any more. He just stood there silently, letting the discussions around him continue.
