"Mm." A sense of relief cover Alicia and she smiled, "Hubby, letshow you around my school, the place where I used to study and play..." Holding his hand, Alicia walked towards the relatively independent New District on the south side. She spoke as they walked, pointing out the different places. "The building in front of us is the hostel. There's a cafeteria, a delicacy restaurant, and a small bookstore over there. And there's a sports field there. Although we didn't have to exercise every day like running laps in high school, it was also to show up for attendance! Therefore, we were particularly envious of those who were on duty, as they could sleep in for ten more minutes!" As she recalled the past, Alicia slowed down her pace.
"At that time, ten minutes of sleep was enough forto be happy the whole day. Although I didn't stay in the hostel often, I had a good relationship with my roommates. Unfortunately, we parted ways after graduation. Swent abroad, swent home, and sgot married." At first, they kept in touch with each other.
Gradually, everyone had their own lives, while others changed their contact details. It was difficult for her to keep in touch with her friends later. Moreover, her relationship with Jeremy drove her further apart from her roommates. The series of incidents after her graduation also kept her busy. Thinking back, except for Victoria, she had only greeted a few of her friends on the internet. They weren't close anymore.

As the saying goes, "One cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs". Initially, her family background had already triggered jealousy among the women around her. Later, when she was with Jeremy, she had almost becthe enemy of women. When she was in dire straits, the people around her pushed her away.
Thinking back, Alicia didn't even know how she got through that difficult period! She couldn't have known what to expect until she finally encountered it. Nor would she have realized her own strength until she met those challenges.
Listening to her chatter and memories, Frederick felt happier than if he had won the lottery. There was nothing that sounded more pleasant than her words.
Holding her hand, Frederick softly guided her to the inner shoulder of the road, and naturally hooked around her waist.
She suddenly cto her senses and smiled. Alicia lifted her foot and stepped onto the barrier. While she was walking on tiptoe, Frederick held on to her side. She moved just like a happy child.
"Back in the day, I used to love walking on these. There was no one to supportby my side, so I trained my balance!" Suddenly, Alicia hooked her arms around his neck, tilted her head, and said with a smile, "Hubby, do you know what these are used for?" Facing her pouty red lips, Frederick lowered his head and pecked at it. "Kiss..." "What? Are you serious?" She gave him a slight push but then drew him closer with a smile.
"How could anyone have been so open then? Holding hands on campus was already something! To kiss, one had to go to the small forest at night." She beckoned him with her fingers. When he lowered his head, Alicia pushed him away abruptly and said, "Hubby, you're such a fool! A step like this is used to tease boys like you, haha..." Giggling, Alicia stepped down and continued.

While they were joking around, Alicia poked his charming face. She did not tell him that this place was used for catwalk practice for the course she majored in! Since she majored in design, she had to model her own creations for any activities they had! Especially in the summer evening, there were always charming girls with shorts hanging around the area. It would've been impossible for the boys to not blush when they had passed by! "You're so naughty!" Frederick wrapped an arm around her neck and pinched her little face, "How many guys did you tease back then?" "Mm." With her head tilted, Alicia counted her ten fingers, over and over again. In an instant, Frederick had a long face, and his eyes were focused on her hands.
In the next second, a kiss fell on his cheek, "You are the first one!" His heart skipped a beat! He was so thrilled that he gathered her closer into his arms! Feeling his excitement, Alicia felt inexplicable happiness. "Back in the day, I also used to practice walking here. Many boys cto see me, but I didn't need anyone to help me." Hugging his waist, Alicia gently raised her head as she said, "I just found out today that having someone to hold on to makesreally happy!" She not only felt stable but also secure! "In the future, I will support you even on flat ground. Forever!" "Mm..." Arms around each other, they moved on.
For every step they took, Alicia would introduce every scenery to him in detail. She would also nag at him every tshe recalled something. However, whenever she was talking excitedly, Frederick's heart would always hurt as if he was being stabbed by a needle.
At noon, Alicia brought him to the canteen. Returning to their seats with a tray full of food, Frederick looked up to see her annoyed expression and the fierce look in her eyes. It was obvious that she was not very happy.
"What's wrong?"
