Chapter 262 Life at the University
Taking a calm breath, Milly gently rehand, “No, the many people already know who you are. It’s better if we’re not aren together, just to be anfed
Anthony, hardly able to hide his annoyance, nearly jumped up. “Does this mean t can cut off ties with the Burnetts now?”
Milly lightly bit her lip. “That’s not necessary…”
It was well known that the Burnet family had seven kids, six boys and one girl, with Stephanie being the clear favourite. This was no secret, is the Burnets had nover hidden their unique treatment of Stephanie, meaning info about Anthony and his family was readily available online,
Although the Burnetts had yet to share Milly’s identity per her request, that didn’t stop those who were determined from finding out
Moreover, after she made her official entrance into the scene and even became a trending topic a few times recently, Milly, with her past life knowledge, knew the paparazzi and gossip journalists would be all over her. She was sure to find them waiting at the university gate,
These gossip mongers could easily twist the truth and stir up drama. There was no benefit in giving them more to gossip about Milly wanted to be something other than a trending subject once more,
So, she planned to stay cautious and keep a good relationship with jordan and the others.
You…
Seeing the severe looks from Jordan and Anthony, Milly couldn’t help but miss Stephanie, who was miles away,
If Stephanie were here, she’d surely try to charm them or keep up her act of being the innocent victim. Annoying as it could be, at least it would deflect some attention away from Milly,
Luckily, despite Jordan’s slight bitterness, he took Milly’s advice and parked in a hidden alley a bit away, letting go in first.

incredibly dynamic. It was just the first day for first–year students, Still, many upper–level students buzzed with their books, seemingly hurrying to hit the library.
Milly paused at a crossroad, closed her eyes, and deeply breathed.
This was the college life she had always dreamt of, vibrant and youthful, full of hope and opportunities, starkly contrasting to the repetitive drills in a confined space she had known in her previous life.
She was happier because she had come prepared to dodge the media waiting at the entrance. Still, to her delight, no paparazzi were in sight, allowing her to savour fully her new college life.
Feeling spirited, Milly smiled and walked towards the nearby academic building, ready to explore the campus.
Starting with the academic building.
Just as she moved to take a step, a sturdy figure suddenly appeared before her. Looking up, she was greeted by a stranger with a shy but attractive face.
“Hello there, are you a freshman? Need any help getting around?”
…
He appeared somewhat nervous, with a noticeable blush as he spoke.
Feeling his genuine warmth, Milly smiled and responded, “Yes, I’m a freshman, just about to look around the campus. And you are?”
“Hi there, I’m Samuel Bennett, the sophomore student council president. I’m here to welcome the new students. The campus is quite big. Would you like me to show you around?”
Right after Samuel finished, laughter came from not too far away.
Looking in that direction, Milly noticed several guys huddled together, glancing their way. When they caught her looking, they quickly looked away, seemingly engrossed in a lively chat,
Catching Milly eyeing his friends, Samuel quickly tried to clear things up, “Please don’t get the wrong idea; they’re harmless. We were just …”
His face grew more flushed, struggling to find the right words.

Just what?

He was at a loss on how to say it was love at first sight for him, and his buddies had pushed him to make the first move.
If he had just put more effort into understanding love instead of burying himself in books all day. Now, he was face to face with a goddess, finding it impossible to get the words out.
Would she think less of him for it?
Milly arched an eyebrow slightly. Though she looked no more than eighteen, she had lived through many lifetimes and could easily read the young boy’s mind standing before her.
It’s merely the rush of teenage hormones.
After all, he’s still a kid, and in front of his friends, no less. Rejecting her might embarrass him.
I could do a good deed.
“Sure, let’s go. Thanks for showing me around, Samuel,” Milly said with a smile.
Samuel thought he’d seen plenty of beautiful women, with many girls chasing after him since his youth, but none compared to her.
She was modest, yet her eyes sparkled with determination, pure and lovely, yet with a maturity beyond her years. Her smile was enchanting as if it could capture
one’s soul.
Thump, thump, thump.
His heart pounded as if bewitched by her smile.
Milly blinked, looking at the boy frozen before her, slightly amused. She waved her hand before his face, bringing him back to reality.
“Samuel?”
Snapping out of his daze, Samuel apologised, “Sorry, sorry, I just got lost in thought there.”

He was mortified that he’d just zoned out like that. And he blushed again.
“It’s fine. Shall we?” Milly reassured him with a smile.

“Of course.” Standing to her right, Samuel began to lead the way. “Let’s hit the teaching building first. It’s straight ahead. By the way, I haven’t asked which major you’re in.”
Milly replied, “Life Science and Theoretical Research.”
Samuel nearly stumbled over his words. Majoring in Life Science and Theoretical Research … it’s the top program at Crestfallen University.
Actually, it’s considered the top program across the whole country.
The girl before him seemed otherworldly, not buried under a pile of books as he had imagined. Given her stunning elegance, he thought she was an art student from Crestwood High. Never did he imagine she was a top scholar!
Somehow, Samuel, who’d always taken pride in his academics, felt suddenly inferior.
Just then, a cold voice called from behind, “Milly!”
Milly turned around, puzzled.
That voice sounded eerily familiar.
