Chapter 1799

Sophie hesitated as she took the cup of caramel latte from Odie. Just one sip, and she felt like her blood sugar was skyrocketing.

“Yikes!” she exclaimed, grimacing at Odie. “How can you drink something this sweet?”

“It’s not that bad, you get used to it,” Odie said with a shrug, swirling the straw around as he continued strolling towards the street corner.

After that sugar overload, Sophie found her own vanilla latte tasted like plain water in comparison.

As they walked along the campus path, Odie glanced sideways at Sophie. The autumn leaves drifted down softly from the trees, and in that moment, Sophie looked quite stunning.

No, she was always stunning.

Her personality was so captivating that after you got to know her, it was easy to focus more on her depth and spirit than her outward beauty.

“I’ve been meaning to ask, do we know each other? Why do you keep looking at me like that?” Sophie asked, having noticed Odie’s curious, yet friendly gaze on her.

Odie replied, “You remind me of a...friend.”

“Really?” she asked, intrigued.

“Something like that,” Odie said. “Meeting her was like a curse, honestly. My bad luck kicked off the day I met her.”

Sophie’s curiosity was piqued. “Is it really that bad?”

“Oh, it is,” Odie said slowly, as if recalling a distant memory. “From the moment I met her, my life turned upside down. She’s sharp, smarter than most guys, and you can't outwit her. I really can’t stand her.”

“The way you talk about her, it doesn’t sound like you dislike her. You care about her,” Sophie pointed out.

Odie stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowing. “I wouldn’t care about her even if I were a dog.”

Sophie just stood there, watching him.

After a pause, Odie admitted, “But maybe you’re right. Maybe I never really disliked her.”

“If you truly disliked her, you wouldn’t be friends with her, right?” Sophie said. “Did you try to jump off the roof because of her?”

“Seriously?” Sophie rolled her eyes. “I’ve agreed to help you, but you have to tell me why you did it. I don’t even know your full name. How am I supposed to convince you to stay alive?”

“My last name’s Grey. Odie Grey,” he said, his intense gaze locking onto hers, as if willing her to remember it.

“Odie Grey...” Sophie murmured, looking up in confusion. “Wait, aren’t you Odie?”

Odie’s eyes darkened.

Sensing the sudden tension, Sophie quickly waved her hands in defense. “I didn’t mean to pry! I’m the class rep, and I saw the new students' reports.

I just glanced at it, I swear!”

Watching her flustered reaction, Odie raised an eyebrow. “I didn’t say anything, so why are you so nervous?”

“I...”

“What is it? Out of all those names, you remembered mine. Are you interested in me?” Odie teased.

Sophie’s face turned a deep red at his words. “I am not!”
