Chapter 156
"She’s stunning." Avery gazed at the lady causing a stir, genuinely impressed. She boasted an enviable figure, a graceful neck, and shoulders that accentuated her beauty. With a radiant complexion and cascading curls, her presence exuded both nobility and elegance. Her poise, gestures, and smile were just perfect. She wore rare transparent glasses with a silver chain dangling by her ear, enhancing the mysterious allure of her eyes. She wore a high-collared floral chiffon shirt paired with deep, knee-length shorts, which made her look simple, elegant, and full of vitality. Even with Athen’s keen eye as a top doctor and designer, she couldn’t find a flaw in the lady’s looks, grace, or style. It was safe to say she was the most beautiful lady Avery had ever seen. Like everyone else, Avery found herself stealing glances at her.
However, not everyone was focused solely on the lady. Many were also watching Avery. In fact, everyone was glancing back and forth between the two, overwhelmed by the choice. Ian was one of them. His eyes darted between Avery and the lady, muttering in distress, "One is like a fairy, and the other is like a goddess. They’re both breathtaking. Which one to choose?"
The other guys sighed in unison, puzzled by his dilemma. Someone thought, ’Why did he think either would give him a choice?’
Joy also noticed the commotion over by Avery. Following the gazes of the crowd, she quickly spotted Avery, and after a brief pause, she stopped in her tracks, momentarily taken aback. Their eyes locked. A strange sensation welled up inside Avery, as if an invisible force was linking her to the other girl in a way she couldn’t quite understand. It was like the Milky Way and Andromeda. Despite the vast distance, they were destined to meet due to a cosmic pull. She couldn’t say what would result from this encounter.
They were staring at each other while everyone else watched them. For girls like them, encountering one another was rare enough. Seeing two was practically a miracle. The street fell quiet for a moment. But soon, Avery broke the gaze, smiling, "Is my paperwork ready?"
"What?" The senior students snapped back to reality and hurriedly handed her the materials. "Here you go! This is the registration guide, which details how to get to the dorm, how to collect your campus card, when the orientation meeting is, and it even includes a map."
"Oh, it’s getting late. We should send someone to take you there."
"No, no, that’s not necessary." Avery waved her hand. "I’m fairly familiar with Rosemont University, and I’m strong enough to go alone." She had visited Rosemont University often and was indeed quite familiar with it. However, her previous trips had mostly been to the laboratories, research rooms, the principal’s office, and the library. She had never actually been to the student dorms.
With that, Avery stuffed the documents into her bag, slung it over her shoulder, and wheeled her suitcase towards the dormitory.
