No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 1751: Arnold Simmons Extra (117)

"Wait a minute, we just started school. Could it be someone from high school?"

She boldly speculated.

The two girls on the opposite bed became even more curious.

"Yeah, he’s also from Haicheng High School," Hannah said. "We came to A University together."

She explained briefly.

But the three girls listening immediately conjured up a romantic image of an overachieving couple, studying together, striving together, immersed in their idyllic academic life.

Classic campus romance plot.

Amy was still trying hard to recall the boys from her high school.

In no time, the rumor that the newly crowned campus belle already had a boyfriend spread across campus, shattering the hearts of countless boys.

— "I don’t believe it! Unless I see it with my own eyes!"

The next day, just after class, Hannah received a message from Arnold Simmons.

He told her he was waiting downstairs.

Hannah turned to look out of the window, and immediately spotted that familiar figure.

He stood under a tree wearing a simple outfit, a T-shirt and trousers. His demeanor was casual and indifferent, his expression serious, exuding a frosty aura that kept strangers at bay.

Even amidst a crowd, he was the one who caught everyone’s attention first.

Nearby, some girls were whispering to each other, but none of them dared to approach him.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the class. Hannah quickly packed her things, stuffing her books into her backpack and zipping it up. "Amy, I’m not having lunch with you today."

Amy, sitting in front, responded with a casual "Okay." A few seconds later, she remembered to ask where Hannah was heading, but by then, the classroom was already empty of Hannah’s presence.

Downstairs.

Hannah was nearly the first to leave the classroom, quickly descending the stairs before breaking into a small jog straight into his arms.

Arnold was caught off guard and stumbled back a step, but he still held her securely.

"Why are you running so fast?" Arnold reached out to take her backpack and affectionately ruffled her hair.

Hannah buried herself in his arms, then stood on her tiptoes to nuzzle lightly against his chin, like a pampered, soft little cat. "I wanted to come see you! Did you miss me?"

Sunlight streamed through the leaves, falling in patches, as if it had all poured into her eyes—bright, radiant.

Arnold’s lips curved into a smile, and he lowered his head to plant a gentle kiss on her soft cheek. "I did."

His voice was tender, his gaze filled with lingering affection.

Hannah looked up at him, mimicking his earlier gesture, lightly brushing the back of his head with her hand as she grinned. "Arnold, you’re so sweet."

The youth was both inexperienced and grounded, as though he was caught between adolescence and adulthood—laid-back, easygoing, yet striking.

Arnold didn’t stop Hannah’s actions; instead, he lowered his head in compliance and asked softly, "I’ll take you for lunch, what do you want to eat?"

"I heard there’s a bustling food street near the campus. Can we go and check it out?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Arnold agreed.

The two of them left the campus together, and shortly after, posts about Hannah on the campus forum were updated.

The original blurry photo that made Hannah the center of attention had been replaced with a new one—a picture of her and Arnold standing under the tree.

In the photo, the girl’s face was lit up with a radiant smile, while the boy leaned slightly, gazing down at her with an expression so tender that it seemed like an icy mountain thawed in an instant, transforming into gently flowing spring waters—uncontainable warmth and affection.

— "Whoa! Is this really the campus belle and her boyfriend?"

— "Who spread those rumors about the campus belle’s boyfriend being short, ugly, and plain? You call this ugly?"

— "Everyone, calm down—her boyfriend’s not only good-looking but also the top student in our department."
