Chapter 557 I Like You
There were usually large events at school, mostly with the help of the student council members.
Although Ulysses worked a lot of part-time jobs.
But he had good grades, was handsome, and excelledd in various sports, so when the student council was recruiting new members, several departments were vying for him.
Although he didn't hold any leadership position in the student council, he was always very responsive whenever he had time.
And even though he wasn't a leader in the student council, to be honest, he still had some influence.
During the recruitment, both the publicity department and the sports department wanted him, but in the end, Ulysses joined the sports department.
He was an all-around athlete, thanks to Gerald teaching him various skills when he was young, so he could do everything.
But he also knew how to hide his talents, and generally, his classmates only knew that he was good at basketball.
Whenever there was a competition at school, he would be made the captain.
He also led the basketball team to win many honors for the school.
Seeing his influence, the previous student council president even approached him to run for vice president of the student council.
But Ulysses actually didn't have the energy to manage student council affairs.
So he politely declined.
However, the sports department head, upon learning about this, although he didn't say anything on the surface, privately considered Ulysses an enemy.
After all, the matter of running for vice president bypassed him and went directly to his subordinate, which he couldn't tolerate.
Moreover, in daily work, Ulysses' influence was indeed stronger than his.
And he was a grade higher than Ulysses.
This made it even harder for him to accept Ulysses being superior to him.
What Ulysses didn't know was that the guy who caught up with Charlotte was also a friend of this department head.
Seeing that Charlotte wasn't with Ulysses, he felt relieved.
But Ulysses definitely didn't know about these things.
He had already spent little time in the student council, focusing more on his part-time jobs.
This was also one of the reasons the department head looked down on him.
Compared to Ulysses, he felt that his family's financial situation was better, and he spent more time in the student council.
Other than being better-looking, what other advantages did Ulysses have?
To him, the most useless thing for a man was probably his face.
And it proved to be true.
His friend only used a branded purse to win over Charlotte.
So what if Ulysses was good-looking?
Actually, Isadora also felt that Ulysses had nothing to do in the student council, and his claim of being busy was just an excuse.
Isadora looked at him, "It won't take much of your time, and there are other classmates too. Just have dinner together in the evening."
"I don't have time in the evening either." Ulysses looked into her eyes, feeling a bit guilty for some reason. He raised his hand and handed over the things he was carrying, "Here, this is for you. Happy birthday in advance."
"What is it? I don't want it." Isadora held her hands behind her back, her eyes red, "Ulysses, are you..."
"Enough, I'm busy." Ulysses put down the things and left.
"Ulysses!" Isadora shouted at his back, "I like you, can't you see that!"
Ulysses froze for a moment.
He didn't turn around, only saying, "I'm sorry."
Then he walked away quickly.
Isadora angrily kicked the air.
She wanted to kick the things Ulysses gave her, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
She picked them up and found that they were all delicious snacks.
And many were imported, not available domestically.
They were also quite expensive.
Did Ulysses buy them?
Did he have that much money?
In the end, Isadora took the bag of snacks to her dorm.
Her father had bought her a house near the school, but she liked living on campus with her friends, so she only stayed there occasionally.
She sent Ulysses a message. Ulysses saw it but didn't reply.
His acquaintance with Isadora was actually quite dramatic.
At first, he mistook Isadora for someone who bullied her classmates, but later realized it was a misunderstanding.
So every time Isadora saw him, she wasn't very friendly.
But Ulysses felt that after he realized his mistake and apologized, Isadora still held a grudge and wasn't nice to him.
Ulysses wasn't a masochist.
Over time, they would argue whenever they met.
Actually, Ulysses could vaguely sense that Isadora might have feelings for him.
But he always thought that the girl he liked would be gentle and quiet.
Although Isadora was very pretty, she had a bold personality, like a boy.
And she spoke very directly.
Previously, a student council member from the sports department betrayed her roommate, and she led a group to confront and scold him.
She was very fierce.
Ulysses felt that he couldn't handle such a girl.
He couldn't possibly like such a fierce girl.
Just thinking about it was a bit scary.
He didn't want to be strictly controlled by his wife.
He shook his head, trying to get Isadora out of his mind.
Just then, someone called him for help, and he responded and went over.
By the time he finished, it was already 10 PM.
With the school anniversary coming up, there were still many things to prepare.
They also had to invite outstanding alumni to participate.
Ulysses had to coordinate with several outstanding alumni.
When he returned to the dorm, he found that Isadora had sent him several messages.
She didn't have her usual fierce tone.
She even sent a few cute emojis.
All of them were requests for Ulysses to attend her birthday party.
The main reason Ulysses didn't want to go was that he didn't know what gift to give her.
If he gave something expensive, their relationship wasn't at that level.
If he gave something cheap, it would seem insincere.
Besides, their current relationship wasn't exactly friends.
Calling them strangers didn't seem right either.
Anyway, he felt quite troubled.
Moreover, he was busy until 10 PM tonight and didn't know how late he would be busy tomorrow.
If he said he would go and then couldn't make it, it would be disappointing.
It was better to say he couldn't go from the start.
So, Ulysses didn't reply to Isadora's messages.
However, he did share some of the snacks Josephine sent with his dorm mates.
His dorm mate was surprised, "These snacks are quite expensive, right?"
Ulysses was tidying up his things and didn't look up. "I don't know, someone gave them to me."
"Is it a girl who's pursuing you?"
Ulysses was good at basketball, had good grades, and was handsome, so many people pursued him.
Ulysses shook his head, "No, it's from my family."
His dorm mates didn't know much about Ulysses' family situation.
But the six of them got along very well.
And their family conditions were similar, although they didn't work as many part-time jobs as Ulysses.
But they were all quite down-to-earth.
Occasionally, they would pool money to go out for a nice meal.
During holidays, they would bring back local specialties to share.
Ulysses treated them like friends, and they never imagined that Ulysses' family was well-off.
All the dorm mates were single.
They initially thought Ulysses would start dating as soon as he got to college.
After all, Ulysses was very good-looking.
But who knew, he focused on his part-time jobs.
He finally liked someone, but she didn't like him back.
