“Got it.” Will and Maureen waved at him, telling him to get back to campus soon.
James did not look back again. He walked in the direction of the bus stop.
The Vanderbilts lived in the suburbs, in the same area as the Avery University campus but in the opposite direction. It took James two hours to get back to campus each time he visited home. Not only that, but he had to make a transit on the journey.
Thankfully, he could always find a seat on the bus as the bus route was not popular.
The rickety bus took off. James, perhaps too exhausted or rocked to sleep by the bus, fell into deep slumber right after he sat down, despite just waking up from a nap in the attic.
In his dream, he saw a company leader in a suit, who was the object of the desires of many women. A young girl who tagged along with the important man left a strong impression on James.
James could not see her face clearly, but something told him she was an important presence. The young girl was 10 years younger than the man. Every time she saw the man, she’d call him “uncle” in a sweet voice.
As an orphan, the young girl was emotionally dependent on the man. Over time, her feelings slowly grew into romantic love.
Chapter 1
James had a good night’s sleep. Regretfully, the man and the young girl did not show up in his dreams.
It was the tradition of Avery University to host a weekly town hall for freshmen on Mondays.
At the end of the semester, the town halls had been reduced to a monthly exercise. James, a freshman, had to rush to the field at 6:30 am on the day of the town hall after washing up.
Students had started gathering around the platform. He casually glanced around. A young woman in the crowd caught his attention. Exuding a vibrant and youthful aura, she rubbed her eyes sleepily while chatting with the people around her.
James‘ heart started to pound. He came to a halt, unable to walk any further.
Although he didn’t see the face of the girl in the dream he barely remembered, a voice wouldn’t stop ringing in his head.
“That’s her! That’s her!”
James‘ roommates looked in the same direction. They chuckled and draped an arm on his
shoulder when they realized he was swooning over a female student.
“Looks like our star student has fallen in love!”
