Jasperâs eyes couldnât help but fill with tears. In this moment, it was as if the whole world had disappeared for her, becoming nothingness, leaving only the two of them!
The next moment, there was a cry of surprise from the surrounding people, because Jasper had rushed straight to the other person and hugged him tightly.
Among the people around, some recognized Jasper and were immediately shocked.
After all, Jasper was quite famous in school, and recently, the most talked-about speculation was about Jasperâs relationship with William.
Although the two currently claimed to be childhood friends, many people thought they might be in love, especially considering Williamâs tenderness towards Jasper, which was obvious to everyone, and his coldness towards other girls, which was also obvious!
âLawrence, itâs you, right? Itâs you!â Jasper hugged Lawrence tightly and murmured.
It must be him, and it can only be him!
There was a resemblance between his face and Lawrenceâs from his childhood, and in his music, there was a hint of Lawrenceâs playing.
It couldnât be a coincidence, it must be true!
But then, a cold voice rang out above her, âIâm sorry, but you must have mistaken me for someone else. My name is not Lawrence. Also, isnât it impolite to hug someone in public like this?â
Only then did Jasper snap out of it and look up at the face that was so close to hers. âYouâre not⦠Lawrence?â
âNo,â the other person smiled slightly, but there was a hint of disgust in their eyes. âAlso, I donât like being hugged by strangers, so you should let go of me quickly.â
But she didnât let go of his hand. Grace held onto him, her eyes. watery and fixed on his face.
He furrowed his brow slightly. âWonât you let go?â
âIâ¦â She hesitated. Was he really not Lawrence? If he wasnât, then it was quite impolite to hold onto him like this. But her hands seemed to have a will of their own, tightly embracing him as if she had recognized him as Lawrence.
She was afraidâ¦if she let go, she might never find Lawrence again!
His brow furrowed even more deeply. Then, with a sudden movement, he broke free from her grasp and walked away without looking back.
Jasper stared blankly at the gradually disappearing figure, suddenly feeling a sense of emptiness in her heart. Before she could even figure out what was happening, her body instinctively chased after him.
It was as if her body refused to let this boy leave her sight!
Under the shade of the trees on campus, her hand finally grabbed onto the boyâs clothes. âWaitâ¦wait a minute!â
The boy stopped in his tracks. âWhat do you want?â
âAre you really not Lawrence?â she gasped, speaking seriously.
âI donât go by that name,â the other person replied.
âWhat name do you go by then?â she asked.
âI donât think I need to tell you,â he said with a hint of amusement.
âIf youâre really not the Lawrence I know, then tell me your name!â Jasper stared at him intently, his face showing determination.
Their gazes locked, and there was a heavy silence in the air. After a moment, the other person finally spoke slowly, âMy name is Roger Elliott, not the Lawrence you mentioned. Can you let go now?â
