Chapter 191-200
Chapter 191 Chapter 191 Kenneth’s almost obsessive expression and unusually humble posture froze the entire classroom in tension again. Everyone! was stunned, though curiosity and gossip quickly took over. While they pretended to mind their business, their ears discreetly tuned in, eager to catch every word.
Melody froze for a moment, carefully sizing up Kenneth. “It’s you?” she said. A realization crossed her face as if she had just recognized him. Melody smiled gently, her eyes carrying a touch of warmth. “It’s all right,” she said gently. “Besides, it was my fault for accidentally bumping into you. I should be the one apologizing.” After a brief pause, Melody asked again, “By the way, how’s your injury? Is it getting better?” She was referring to the day she accidentally bumped into him, wondering if it had affected his wound.
In response, Kenneth’s eyes lit up, his face brimming with surprise and excitement. Eagerly, he asked, “That night-it was you who saved me, wasn’t it?” Kenneth had crossed paths with assailants, narrowly escaping death as he fled for his life. Exhausted, he eventually collapsed, convinced that his end was near. However, someone had saved him. In his hazy state, he barely opened his eyes, catching a glimpse of a face partially obscured, but those eyes-bright as the stars-left an indelible mark.
That fleeting moment embedded itself deep within his heart, a memory he could never shake.
It wasn’t until he met Melody that everything clicked into place. The figure from his memory seemed to merge with the person/standing before him-the same radiant eyes that had captivated him in that fleeting moment. One glance, and he knew he could never forget her.
Melody was momentarily confused. She thought, ‘What is he talking about? I have no idea what he’s saying.
As her thoughts swirled, she remained silent for a couple of seconds. When she looked up again, her smile was bright and warm. In a soft voice, she said, “I’m just glad you’re okay.” There was neither a confirmation nor a denial, just an unspoken understanding between them.
