The Thymionian girl began chattering away to Jonathan. However, she spoke her native language, so he could not understand a word.
He was somewhat bewildered. This isn't off to a good start!
Just then, another Thymionian female student stepped forward. She had a slender figure and an air of graceful elegance, and she only looked to be in her twenties. Every movement she made exuded an indescribable charm. It was easy to tell that she was a campus belle, the type who would have many admirers.
She approached him and said in fluent Chanaean, “Good day, sir. How can I help?”
Jonathan was slightly surprised, for he didn't expect her to speak Chanaean. He immediately broke into a smile, while sighing with admiration deep down. It seems that ugly betties aren't necessarily top students, and unattractive guys aren't necessarily good guys. This campus belle is a true beauty and intelligent!
“I'm looking for Vananeru. Do you know her?” he asked.
Despite feeling slightly disappointed by his reply, she said, “How could I not know her? She's well-known on campus for being a gifted student. So, you're looking for her?”
He nodded. “Could you bring me to her?”
“Of course.”
“Thank you,” he responded with a smile. His gestures radiated an inexpressible appeal, and that smile was enough to captivate anyone. The campus belle, whose name was Ginny, felt her heart flutter at the sight of it.
Ginny came from a poor family, and her uncle was the one paying for her to attend university. Hence, she had always had a clear goal in mind, which was to find herself a wealthy husband.
She had approached Jonathan enthusiastically because he was handsome and rich. Even after he said he was looking for Vananeru, she was not about to throw in the towel. She was confident that she would have her chance.
Although there were many affluent people in Thymion, she had never encountered anyone as rich and elegant as Jonathan. He was, so far, the only man that met her standards.
Ginny immediately led Jonathan toward Vananeru's dorm. As they passed through a quieter path lined with trees, she remarked, “I still don't know your name. I'm Ginny, by the way.”
“I'm from Chanaea, and my name is Jonathan Lawson,” he replied promptly.
“It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lawson.” She held out a hand solemnly.
He did the same and shook her hand politely before quickly letting go.
Ginny continued leading the way. Then, she piped up again to ask, “Mr. Lawson, are you very close to Vananeru?”
“If we're very close, I wouldn't need you to show me the way. I could've just called her, right?” he answered with a wry smile.
She let out a chuckle. “Oh, I've asked a silly question. That does make sense.”
“Not at all! You're so beautiful, so even if you were silly, that would be considered adorable, not silly,” came his response.
Finding his answer amusing, Ginny grew even more fond of him. “You're so funny!”
He chuckled. “I'm merely telling the truth.”
She soon spoke again and asked, “By the way, if you don't know Vananeru, why are you looking for her then?”
Jonathan was a smart man. Knowing what Ginny was thinking, he did not give a direct answer. He merely smiled and said, “That's a secret for now. However, I'm not a bad guy.”
Seeing that he was reluctant to explain, she did not press further. After all, I must still maintain a good impression in his eyes.
They soon arrived in front of the girls' dorm. The building had an Epean-style design and was simply beautiful.
“Come on,” she said to him.
He was momentarily stunned. “Am I allowed to enter the girls' dorm?”
Somewhat surprised by his question, Ginny replied, “Of course. Is it not allowed in your country?”
“No, it isn't. The dorm supervisors are very strict about it.”
Smiling, she explained, “Our dorm unit has a living room and other rooms. Men are allowed into the living room on condition that they are given permission.”
Jonathan hummed in realization, then said, “But I didn't get Vananeru's permission.”
She chuckled. “That doesn't matter. You can also come to our unit. I'll make you a cup of coffee.”
“Ginny, not only do you have a beautiful appearance, but you also have a beautiful heart,” he responded with a grin.
She felt rather shy upon hearing that, and her cheeks flushed instantly.
While they were talking, they entered the courtyard of the girls' dorm without a hitch. Then, she led him to a unit on the third floor. The unit comprised six small bedrooms, one large living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
Mapleton University was a landmark of Thymion, so its facilities were excellent. They were far from what other foreign universities offered, but by local standards, it was clear they had put in much thought and effort.
The front door was not closed. Several girls were laughing while watching television on the couch, dressed in light clothing such as tank tops, shorts, and nightgowns.
Jonathan's sharp eyes immediately picked up that they were not wearing any underwear! He also spotted Vananeru among the group of girls. She was the one wearing the nightgown, and with her hair still damp from just being washed, she looked rather bewitching.
Vananeru and the other young ladies also noticed him at once.
It was hardly surprising as his outfit was rather flashy indeed, so it was quite difficult for others to avoid noticing him.
