Chapter 526
“How do you think he will react if he knows I came here looking for you?”
Nicholas was indeed very curious about that.
Sophie’s gaze turned cold.
“Why should I stop you if you’re not afraid of death?”
“You don’t think I’m Tristan’s opponent, do you?” Is she so confident about Tristan’s abilities?
Sophie ignored Nicholas and walked over to Tristan, completely disregarding Nicholas’ threat.
Tristan wasn’t incompetent. If Nicholas truly wished to court death, that was his problem and no one else’s.
When Tristan was five or six meters away from them, Nicholas ultimately turned around. He knew his power had yet to return to its prime.
He couldn’t face Tristan head-on at that moment, but that didn’t mean he was afraid of him.
Someday, he would let Tristan realize how formidable he was, and he believed that day would arrive soon.
“Who’s that?”
From afar, Tristan noticed Sophie talking to a man, but he couldn’t see his face clearly.
“He’s just someone asking for directions.”
She didn’t intend to lie to him, but his and Nicholas’ backgrounds were too sensitive. She figured it would be best to keep them separated.
“Oh, is that so?” Was he just a person asking for directions? “Let’s go and have our meal.” I came here to share a meal with her, right?
“Okay.”
The two went to the cafeteria of the University of Medicine. It had been years since Tristan had last enjoyed cafeteria food.
He went to the university cafeteria mainly to keep her company.
“How is it? Are you getting used to the food here?” Tristan gazed at her skinny arm, constantly fearing she might not be well-nourished. “How about I hire someone to take care of you and Ysabelle here?”
In his opinion, always eating cafeteria food wasn’t a healthy option.
“Tristan, that’s not needed. The meals here at the university cafeteria are not bad. I’ll show you around and let you taste the food.”
“Okay.”
He did not insist. I’ll give it a try. If the food is really not good, I’ll hire someone to take care of them. After all, her body doesn’t belong only to her since she has to be responsible for my future. She can’t always act so willfully.
Tristan was willing to follow her wish in any matter except for issues related to her health.
The University of Medicine cafeteria also served freshly prepared dishes. Since she was having her meal with Tristan, Sophie went to the freshly prepared meal area instead of the stall where packed food was sold.
“What do you want to eat?” She was always a little indecisive when choosing what to eat.
“Go over and take a seat. I’ll place the order.” Taking in her dithering demeanor, he asked her to sit first.
“Are you sure?” This is his first time here. Does he know what’s good?
“I’m sure.”
He reckoned she must be tired after attending classes for the entire morning, so he didn’t want her to continue to stand idly there.
“All right, then.” Sophie didn’t dwell on that matter either. Indeed, there wasn’t any need for two people to order the food, as one could get the job done.
Tristan ordered two dishes and a soup. Then, he reminded the cook of a few things to take note of before returning to Sophie’s side.
The freshly prepared meals at the University of Medicine were well-known for being delicious, but at the same time, they were also infamous for being expensive. Nonetheless, that wasn’t a problem for the students there.
Most of the tables were occupied.
“To be honest, this is also my first time here.”
As they would have to spend more time there, Sophie and Ysabelle would go to the other place selling packed food to swiftly purchase their meals and finish their lunch instead of wasting too much time placing orders for freshly prepared food.
“You can come here more often. I’ll ask them to prepare yours and Ysabelle’s food ahead of time so you can have your meal right after class.”
He knew she was busy, but one must always spare some time to have their meals.
“That’s not needed. I’m staying in school to have my meal because I want to avoid trouble.” Sophie and Ysabelle were people who disliked trouble.
“What’s the trouble in doing that?” In his opinion, that matter wasn’t an issue since all he had to do was to hire a chef there.
Tristan had already planned to contact Felix to arrange for a five-star chef to work at the cafeteria to prepare meals for Sophie and Ysabelle.
Soon, the dishes were served.
Although the food couldn’t be compared to cuisines made from established restaurants outside, the dishes were appetizing nonetheless.
“As expected, these dishes look better than the packed food downstairs.” Tristan thought the color of the food seemed more inviting.
He helped serve half a plate of pasta to her.
“This is the minimum amount you have to eat.”
Her appetite was too less, and that had always been one of his prime concerns. He always hoped she could eat a little more.
Seeing that half plate of pasta, Sophie smiled.
“Okay, I got it. Don’t worry. I’ll finish this half plate of pasta.” We’re just having a meal.
The dishes tasted quite well. Tristan also found the food relatively tasty, not as terrible as he had imagined.
By the time they finished their meal and exited the cafeteria, it was already one-thirty in the afternoon. She had one more lesson later, and it was already too late to return to her accommodation.
“You can go back first. I’m not joining you because I have another important lesson later.” Traveling back and forth would take more than twenty minutes. She didn’t want to waste time on the road.
“I’m not going back too. I’ll stay here to keep you company. Is there any place to rest at the University of Medicine? I’ll go there to take a break.”
An afternoon break was essential.
“There is!”
Sophie brought Tristan to the legendary, mysterious forest. Indeed, that was a very suitable place to rest.
They sat on a lawn with a large tree atop them to provide shade. The place was truly a great place to relax.
“Take a nap.”
“Okay.” Sophie didn’t speak further. She immediately leaned against his shoulder and shut her eyes while he put his back against the tree trunk.
However, after a short while, she heard moans.
Hearing that, Sophie froze. The scenery was genuinely pleasant, but she couldn’t believe she had forgotten some couples were fond of engaging in explicit activities there.
She figured Tristan must’ve heard the lewd sound too.
He frowned. Are students nowadays so open-minded? They’re actually doing it in the wild!
“I think we should go somewhere else.” She stood up and offered him her hand.
“Okay.”
He grasped her hand and pulled himself up.
After getting his mood for the afternoon ruined, naturally, Tristan wouldn’t let the disturbers have a good time, too, so he deliberately raised his voice.
As a result, that man’s shaft lost its rigidity instantaneously.
“Someone’s here!” he uttered in a panic.
“Ah! What’s there to be afraid of? There are so many people going at it here.” Evidently, the woman was yet to be satisfied. She wanted to continue their actions, but that man picked up his pants and left in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Tristan and Sophie exited the forest. Her cheeks were flushed.
She didn’t do that on purpose or anticipate running into others sharing their intimate moments there.
“Why is your face so red? You’re not the one being caught red-handed anyway.” Taking in her appearance, Tristan felt she was incredibly adorable.
“My face is not red!”
Tristan placed his arm around her shoulder, and they headed out of the forest together.
“How about I accompany you to your afternoon class?”
“What?” Sophie thought her ears were playing tricks on her. “Why would you suddenly want to do that?”
