Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1758

The person who spoke was a girl who looked quite adorable.Her hair was up in a bun, and she wore a short, pale yellow skirt.She beamed when she saw lan turn toward her, waving at him vigorously to join her.

However, lan looked away at once.He did not wish to sit next to anyone.

If it were possible, he would rather sit by himself.

The lecturer had been wondering where to seat lan, so when he saw that, he quickly seized the opportunity and went with the flow.

"In that case, why don't you sit with Zaylynn?" he suggested. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Although lan furrowed his brows, he finally acquiesced.

By the time he walked over to the empty seat, Zaylynn Neal had already wiped the seat clean and was waiting for him.

"Sit here.I've already cleaned it for you."

He nodded and sat down next to her.

Seeing that, the other female students could not help sighing regretfully.

They had thought he would keep his distance from others, not expecting him to be so obedient and comply with the lecturer's suggestion to sit with Zaylynn.

While lan unzipped his backpack, Zaylynn asked, "This is the textbook we're using for this class.Since you've just enrolled, have you gotten your books yet? Do you want to borrow mine?"

She held out a textbook as she spoke.

He looked up from rummaging through his backpack, his beautiful eyes framed by long eyelashes glancing at the book in her hand.

Microeconomics? I didn't bring that book, but I can do without it for one class.

Taking out a pen and a brand new notebook, he placed them neatly on the table.

Then, he shifted his indifferent gaze toward the front of the lecture hall.

Zaylynn stared at him wordlessly.He really is cold and aloof.

Although she felt a little embarrassed as she withdrew her hand, she quickly recovered as if nothing had happened due to her cheerful and optimistic disposition.

Whenever she noticed lan furrow his brows at something the lecturer was saying during the class, she would explain it to him kindly and patiently.

I heard this he's only seventeen years old.He hasn't even celebrated his eighteenth birthday yet.

Based on the university's usual age requirements for admission, he'd still be in high school.

But seeing as how he suddenly came here to study, I can't help wondering whether something happened before this.

With that thought in mind, she became even more attentive toward him.

When the class was finally over, the other students started getting to their feet and leaving.

But even as Zaylynn watched the others exiting the lecture hall, she showed no intention of leaving.

Instead, she turned toward lan, who was still seated next to her, and took the initiative to speak to him again.

"Since this is your first day here, would you like me to give you a little introduction to our course's classes and schedules?"

lan tilted his head and looked at her, then finally replied, "Okay."

Indeed, that was what he needed.

I've never studied in a formal educational setting, so I need someone to explain things to me so that I can better understand my classes and schedule.

He waited for her to start explaining, but to his surprise, she took out her smartphone when she heard him agree to let her help him.

With her WhatsApp open on her phone, she said, "Let's exchange numbers.I'll send you the class schedule"

A hint of disgust shot through lan's heart instantly.

He hated it when others tried to get close to him, especially in such a blatantly obvious manner.

Hence, he grabbed his backpack and stood up with a darkened expression.

Just as lan was about to leave, a young man appeared at the door to the lecture hall.

When he saw lan, he quickly asked in a kindly tone, "Are you the new student, lan Hayes? I'm Jacques, the student council secretary.One of our lecturers wanted me to help you get familiarized with the Faculty of Finance.Do you have some time now?"

lan was silent for a moment before nodding.

"Yes." Jacques smiled.

"All right, then.Let's go.Zaylynn, what are you still doing here? You still have a class after this.Don't be late"

Jacques reminded Zaylynn as he was about to leave with lan.

Annoyed by his words, her round face flushed.

What's up with this new guy? He's unwilling to let a girl show him around? He only wants some bigshot to do it? Furious, she left the lecture hall in a huff.

Thanks to Jacques’ careful explanation, lan finally had a good idea of what he had to do during his time at the university and how to schedule his time.

As they toured the faculty building, Jacques suddenly asked, "I heard from our lecturer that you didn't attend high school.Is that true?"

lan murmured an acknowledgement.

"Oh, my! Then you're—"

Jacques began.

"I had some health issues, so my parents had a teacher come to the house to teach me" lan replied, making up an excuse on the spot.
