424.Table Mates

He appeared to be comfortable and well. It seemed like he did not fall sick after being tossed into the lake. As usual, there was a cup of coffee on his desk and he was gracefully tasting it.

She wasn’t sure if this bouquet of flowers came from him.

Or was it Mark, that bastard?

In any case, Jungkook was currently abroad. There was no way that the flowers were from Jungkook.

Thus, she coldly responded. “My apologies. I refuse to accept them.”

“You can’t do this. The man who ordered these flowers instructed that you have to accept them. If you won’t, I’ll have to throw these flowers away.” The young man appeared helpless.

“Throw it away, then.” Lisa walked around him and headed for her seat only to see that Yu Liang was actually seated there. “Why are you in my seat?”

Yu Liang’s heart had moved for her quite some time ago. He responded apologetically. “We reshuffled our seats today. It’s unfair to the students who are seated at the back to maintain the same seating arrangement throughout the school year. Everyone agreed to rearrange seats by drawing lots.”

“Where are the lots?”

Yu Liang pointed at a class table on the lecturer’s podium.

Lisa headed for the podim.

A group of girls in class stared at the bouquet in the young man’s hands with envy. Shuhua spoke up first. “Handsome, it’s too much of a waste to throw those roses away. Why don’t you gift it to me?”

“Gift it to me, gift it to me!” Several other girls chimed in.

The young employee holding onto the bouquet was placed in a tight spot. “There are 999 roses in this bouquet and it represents pure love. It’s such a large bouquet and it’s naturally very costly as well. It would be best if Lisa herself accepted it.”

When the girls heard him say so, they gave up asking for it. Shuhua was extremely curious. “Who bought these flowers?”

“The customer did not reveal his name.”

“I really don’t understand. Even if Lisa has slimmed down, her face remains ugly. To think that someone would buy flowers for her.” Shuhua’s voice was sour with jealousy.

Tzuyu immediately spoke up for her good friend. “Our Lisa has a beautiful soul. All the men choose to admire her rather than you. What about it?”

“You!” Shuhua wanted to charge forward to give Tzuyu a slap but recalled that Brother Jae previously declared that no one could touch her.

She was stifled with anger.

Lisa approached the podium and saw that there was only a single strip of paper left in the transparent glass bottle.

She scanned the classroom. All the students were seated and the only empty seat that remained was next to Jaehyun.

This meant that the final lot she had was for the table next to Jaehyun’s.

Lisa questioned no one in particular. “Are the lots fair?”

One of her classmates responded immediately. “It’s very fair. We all took the lots randomly. It’s because you’re late that there’s only one lot left.”

Lisa took the last strip of paper from the glass bottle. She opened it to see that it indicated the last seat in the second column.

The last seat in the second column was connected with the seat in the first column. The person in the first column was Jaehyun.

As expected, the seat she had got was next to Jaehyun. Lisa frowned deeply. “Why am I seated with Jaehyun?”

Shuhua had liked Jaehyun for a long time. She deeply wished that she could sit with Brother Jae. Unfortunately, luck was not on her side. “Go ahead and celebrate. It’s a blessing from your previous life that you’re able to share a table with Brother Jae.”

“I don’t want this blessing.” Lisa immediately decided. “Shuhua, let’s exchange seats.”

“Really?” Shuhua was overjoyed. She shouted out decisively. “You’re not allowed to regret this.”

She was about to head for the empty seat next to Jaehyun, when he turned to look at her coldly. “Who dares to destroy the ‘complying with public opinion’ rule that this young master set up?”
