C15 He Wanted to Develop Further

Thinking about it, Connie could not help but raise her head again. She stole a glance at the direction that she had just been looking at, but she realized that Rafael was no longer there.

"Ah... So it really was a coincidence."

Connie patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, a gentle voice came from the side. "Are you looking for me?"

This voice was not unfamiliar to Connie. However, when she heard it so close to her, her heart skipped a beat.

Turning her head, she saw Rafael standing straight at the side with a faint fragrance on his body.

When he looked at her, his eyes seemed to be filled with a clear stream of warmth and a gentle smile.

Connie was stunned and her heart trembled. She stuttered and said uncertainly, "Senior... talking to me?"

"Of course, only you and I are here."

Rafael was still smiling. The smile on his face was as bright as the sunrise, and it was dazzling and moving.

Connie blushed and could not say a word.

She was very nervous, and even her breathing seemed to be hurried.

Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, Rafael could only ask, "Do you mind if I sit down? Student Connie?"

"Of... Of course not."

Connie replied a little awkwardly. Only then did she realize what was going on. She gathered her courage and looked back at him. "Huh? Senior, you know my name?"

"Yes."

Rafael smiled and sat down beside Connie. Then, he smiled slowly and said, "The student who has always been in the top position for the past two years, your name is very special. I think anyone who has seen it will not forget it."

"Ah... So that's how it is."

Connie suddenly realized what had happened. Just as she was about to say something, Rafael continued, "And I also know that you secretly took a picture of me during my class."

"Uh..."

Connie was stunned, and then she turned awkward.

She didn't expect that the secret that only she knew had actually been discovered long ago, and it was actually Rafael himself.

There shouldn't be anyone in this world who had a crush on her more than she did.

"I'm sorry..."

Connie apologized in a fluster, "I'm really sorry for troubling you. I..."

"It's fine. Since I found out, it doesn't count as a secret photo. Since it doesn't count as a secret photo, it doesn't count as a trouble."

Rafael took a sip of the champagne in his hand and looked at her with a smile. "But I thought you liked me, so you seemed to be avoiding me. I couldn't help but come over."

When Connie heard this, her cheeks turned pink.

She was really embarrassed to say that she was shy and timid.

Who knew if she would be rejected?

"You look really good tonight."

At this moment, Rafael suddenly changed his tone.

Connie was a little surprised. After being stunned for a while, she said in a low voice, "Thank you!"

Connie had a strange feeling in her heart. She was being flattered by a boy she had liked for many years. The joy in her heart almost made her float.

Perhaps this was the feeling of being moved?

"Ahem, I might be a little rude to ask this, but I still want to ask you, do you hate me?"

Connie was surprised. "Ah? No, why would I?"

"Then you like me?"

"..."

The question was so direct that Connie could not answer it.

"If you don't say anything, then I will take it as a silent agreement." Rafael looked at her and smiled. "Those who like you will come to talk to you, but you have such a reaction. Connie, how can there be such a weird girl in this world?"

Connie was speechless.

In fact, she was not weird at all. It was just that she suddenly met someone she had been secretly in love with for a long time, which was why she had such a reaction.

Besides, who knew that he would suddenly come over? It was a big impact on her heart!

"Haha, alright, I'm not joking with you anymore. But I still hope that the next time I see you, you won't hide from me, okay?"

With that, Rafael stood up and stared at her with his clean eyes, as if waiting for her to give him an answer.

Connie was a little confused. "What do you mean?"

"It means that I want to be friends with you, and even further."

After smiling and rubbing Connie's hair, Rafael turned around and left.

Connie sat on the ground and stared at his back. She was stunned for a long time.

However, in the time that Connie and Rafael were chatting, Holden had already seen everything in the center of the banquet.

The girl was in her prime, but she was shy and looked pure and moving.

The man looked at her expressionlessly. His dark eyes were rolling, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. His thin lips were pursed and his face was calm.

The banquet continued. Rafael also left for a while, and only then did Connie come back to her senses.

Then, a faint smile appeared on her lips. She was happy and joyful.

The prince charming who she had been secretly in love with for a long time had said that he wanted to be friends with her, and he even said that he wanted to take a step further...

"Oh, it's really Connie. I thought I was mistaken."

Just as Connie was giggling, a voice that was somewhat disgusting suddenly sounded beside her ear.

She turned her head and saw a woman who looked about the same age as Connie. She was wearing a transparent dress. The design of the dress made her chest look like it was about to burst out at any moment.

At this moment, she was holding the arm of a man in a suit as she walked over with a proud smile on her face.

"Chloe."

Connie frowned and her expression darkened.

"Haha, not bad, huh, Connie? You were assigned to be part of the etiquette team this afternoon, and now you're dressed in a bright and beautiful outfit to attend this banquet tonight?"

It was obvious that she was mocking him.

Connie did not want to bother with her.

This woman was her arch-enemy in school. Not only did she oppose her, but she also liked to step on her to find a sense of superiority.

In short, the two of them were not on the same page for a long time. Now that they met here, Connie could guess that this woman would probably continue to ridicule her. She instantly lost interest in sitting here.

"Boring."

Connie rolled her eyes and finished the pastries in her hands. Then, she put down the plate and prepared to get up and leave.

However, how could Chloe let her go so easily?

She immediately blocked her way and blocked Connie's way. With a smile on her face, she said in a strange tone, "I heard that you left the school with that investor in the afternoon? Tsk, I didn't know that you usually pretend to be a pure white lotus. How can you be so carefree?"

As she spoke, Chloe could not help but smack her lips and shake her head. "It's a pity that an ugly duckling is still an ugly duckling. No matter how much packaging you put on it, it will still change your background. It can't change the fact that you're a swan."
