William Wilson looked at her with his eyes lowered, a half-smile playing on his lips.

There was a brief silence in the air surrounding them.

Laura Jones could even see her own dazed reflection in William’s dark eyes.

"I heard..."

William spoke, breaking the silence between them first.

"Heard... heard what?"

Laura felt something was off with herself lately; every time she got a bit closer to William, her heart would start racing uncontrollably.

She had never been in a relationship, but she wrote about them proficiently in novels, yet in reality, she was clueless about romance.

In fact, she was very oblivious.

Even though a racing heart is a common reaction in love, she never thought of it in that way.

Just felt that something was strange.

But she honestly thought this out-of-control heartbeat didn’t feel bad.

William didn’t answer her question, instead, he asked a different one:

"Laura, do you think I’m handsome?"

"Handsome."

Laura nodded vigorously, answering with full sincerity.

How could a devoted fan ever think her idol wasn’t handsome?

"How handsome?"

He continued to ask, his tall frame leaning a bit closer to her.

This time, Laura took two steps back, her back pressing against the wall behind her.

William’s hand propped against the wall behind her, enclosing her in a small space.

The air felt even thinner.

Laura: I am done for.

"Hmm?"

Seeing her not answer, William emphasized again.

The end of his voice rose, carrying a hint of a teasing tickle.

"So... so handsome it makes one’s legs weak."

Laura took a breath in the thin air, managing to squeeze out a sentence.

"Is that so?"

William chuckled lowly, glanced down at her long slender legs, and said in a low voice:

"I see your legs are quite tightly closed."

Laura: "..."

Why did she faintly feel like her idol was flirting?

No, no, no, it must be that the air is too thin making her dizzy with an illusion.

Her idol isn’t that kind of person!!!

William pleasantly enjoyed watching Laura’s earlobes turn from pink to red.

His deep black eyes fixated on her slightly parted pink lips, his Adam’s apple moved.

Eventually, he suppressed the urge to steal a kiss, stepping back to widen the distance with Laura.

"I heard you said you’d bring a dowry to marry me?"

William crossed his arms, standing in front of Laura, looking at her with a teasing gaze.

Laura hadn’t yet recovered from the suffocating strange atmosphere, and William’s words threw her into a daze.

This was something she casually joked about with Hannah, who... actually passed this down word for word to William.

She looked at William, whose eyes were filled with amusement, and explained:

"I was just joking with Hannah."

This kind of cousin not only suited her taste but also suited all girls’ taste.

Actor William had plenty of choices, and it would never be her turn, a college student who hadn’t fully grown up yet.

Thinking of this, Laura sighed inwardly, not knowing why, but her heart felt a bit stifled too.

William directly ignored her answer and continued:

"You also said, you wished I’d marry you immediately?"

The tone tinged with low laughter, inexplicably made Laura’s heart rise with a bit of anger.

Yes, she was coveting the handsome actor, so what?

She didn’t know why, but when William teased her like this, it made her feel even more upset.
