Chapter 558 Can You Be My Boyfriend?
In the evening, none of the roommates were playing games, and somehow they started talking about the girls at school.
As they chatted, Ulysses heard Isadora's name.
Roommate Lyle Warner said, "Our soccer team's goalkeeper is chasing Isadora. Speaking of which, Isadora is really hard to get. Has she accepted anyone?"
Ulysses didn't speak, but his ears perked up.
Another roommate, Lowell Warren, said, "Your goalkeeper? I've seen him, chubby, and he's chasing Isadora?"
Lyle said, "What do you know? The goalkeeper's family is quite wealthy. He said he and Isadora are well-matched. I heard Isadora's family owns a mine, they're really rich."
"No wonder she doesn't fancy anyone at our school, turns out she's so rich. But even if she wasn't, it wouldn't matter, I see she has as many suitors as Charlotte."
Ulysses couldn't help but speak up, "Do you all like Isadora? Don't you think she's fierce?"
Lyle said, "Fierce? How is she fierce? She likes soccer, often comes to watch us play, and I actually think she's quite cute. And she's straightforward, unlike some girls who are so shy and hesitant, you can't figure out what they mean."
Lowell also said, "I also like Isadora's personality, she's confident and poised, but I definitely don't match up to her, I can only dream."
Lyle said, "Let me tell you, those of us on the soccer team who have girlfriends all say Isadora has a great figure, even though she dresses conservatively, you can tell..."
He wanted to say more, but Ulysses interrupted, "Alright, if we don't match up to her, let's not talk about it. How about we talk about the school anniversary?"
"What's there to talk about the school anniversary! The attendees are all outstanding alumni, either scientists or capitalists, nothing to do with us."
Ulysses said, "They're all role models for us to learn from."
"We'll never measure up to them," Lowell said, "Comparing ourselves to them is just frustrating."
With the topic changed, no one mentioned Isadora again.
Ulysses breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing where this feeling in his heart came from.
He stared at the bed board above him, thinking he was still too kind-hearted.
It turned out, kind-hearted boys always got deceived by girls.
He sighed silently and said, "Let's not talk anymore, let's sleep."
The next day, when Ulysses and other student council members were checking the list, he was surprised to find Steven's name on the list of outstanding alumni.
He took a moment to call Josephine, "Aunt Josephine, is Laura's husband named Steven?"
Josephine said, "Yes, haven't you met him before?"
"Did he graduate from our school?"
"Yes," Josephine said, "I heard Laura mention it."
"The school invited him for the anniversary," Ulysses said, "I just saw his name on the list."
Josephine laughed, "That's normal, he often donates money to your school."
"Will Laura come? Aunt Josephine, you should come too."
"Laura probably won't go, and I won't either. Stuart won't let me, too many people."
"True," Ulysses said, "Alright then. See you next week, I'll be home next week."
"Okay, see you next week."
Ulysses returned to the student council office, and the classmate who was organizing the list with him asked, "Can we switch the list we're handling?"
Ulysses was puzzled, "Why?"
"There's someone from my hometown on your list."
Ulysses understood and smiled, "Sure, I'm fine with that."
The classmate immediately handed him the list, "Thank you, thank you."
Ulysses looked at Steven's name and said, "You're welcome."
Ulysses still had to cooperate with other classmates.
He was only responsible for some relatively simple tasks.
As for welcoming, presenting flowers, and even communicating with those outstanding alumni, there were designated people for that.
Ulysses also knew that the person presenting flowers to Steven was a female student from the art department.
She was also the most beautiful person in the art department, much prettier than Charlotte.
Ulysses was never one to judge by appearance, otherwise, he would have pursued the most beautiful girl in school long ago.
On the day of the school anniversary, he saw the person presenting the flowers.
At that moment, he thought she was quite pretty.
But somehow, another thought immediately came to his mind, she wasn't as pretty as Isadora.
Why did he suddenly think of Isadora?
He didn't go to Isadora's birthday that day.
After that, Isadora didn't message him again.
Ulysses was lost in thought for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Steven.
Steven was one of the guest speakers on stage, giving a speech.
Someone went up to present flowers, and he didn't speak for long before stepping down.
Then another man went up.
He was even younger than Steven, looking about thirty.
Ulysses' pupils contracted.
The person presenting flowers to this man was Isadora.
After the school anniversary ended, Ulysses was busy cleaning up. When he finished and was walking back to the dorm, he casually checked his phone.
He found many posts about Isadora on the campus forum.
They said that after the anniversary, Isadora got into that alumnus's car and left with him.
During the anniversary, the girls who got to present flowers were all excellent in both character and academics, and beautiful.
If an outstanding alumnus who wasn't married ended up with one of them, it wouldn't be impossible.
After all, it had happened before at the school.
Ulysses turned off his phone, trying hard to suppress the discomfort in his heart.
He thought he might be tired.
Back in the dorm, he took a nap, and when he woke up, he found a message from Isadora on his phone.
She asked to meet.
Ulysses typed a reply: [Is there something you need?]
Isadora replied: [You gave me a lot of snacks that day, they're quite valuable. As a return, I'll treat you to a late-night snack.]
Ulysses typed: [No need.]
He typed it, then deleted it.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then retyped: [Send me the location.]
Ten minutes later, the two of them were sitting in a barbecue restaurant near the school.
Isadora was sitting on a small stool, her delicate and beautiful dress completely out of place in this environment.
Ulysses looked at the men drinking nearby and frowned, "It's too late for you to be here alon;, it's not safe."
When he arrived, Isadora was already waiting for him.
Isadora looked at him and smiled, "It's okay, I know self-defense."
Ulysses was unconvinced.
So-called self-defense probably wouldn't be of much use.
Looking at her small frame, what could she defend against?
"Ulysses," Isadora looked at him, "I was thinking, if you didn't come, I wouldn't look for you again. But since you came, I'll say it again. I like you, will you be my boyfriend?"
Ulysses suddenly thought of the posts on the forum.
Some posts even said that Isadora left with the alumnus, who was actually her fiancé.
Their families were well-matched, and they had been engaged for a long time.
Ulysses asked, "Do you have a fiancé?"
