The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Lucas glanced coldly at Thalia, causing her face to flush red as she shamefully lowered her head. Even then, Lucas did not speak up to defend Thalia.

"Excuse me. If there's nothing else, please move aside. I need to leave," Lucas said flatly.

"Do you not remember me at all? It was under that banyan tree where you saw me crying and handed me the handkerchief, telling me not to be sad. Do you not remember any of that?" Tears welled up in Thalia's eyes, but Lucas remained silent. The outcome was clear.

Thalia could not bear the mockery from the onlookers anymore. She fled from the scene to escape the crowd.

She found a corner and squatted. From there, she could still see Lucas as he strode into the auditorium. At that moment, Claudia emerged from the auditorium.

Claudia came out happily. The teacher had just permitted her to bring Thalia in, but she did not expect to come out and not see Thalia. Instead, she bumped into Lucas.

"Lucas, have you seen a girl here who looks a bit like me?" Claudia asked.

Thalia keenly noticed the difference in Lucas' attitude when speaking to Claudia. What surprised her even more was Lucas' patience in responding, "No, I didn't. There were so many people coming and going here. Maybe try asking over there?"
