The man spoke in a cold tone, “What are you following me for? Are you a student at the University of J City?”

Estelle’s face flushed, but quickly returned to a calm expression, “Is this the way to your home? It’s a public place, why do you think I am following you?”

A hint of coldness flashed in the man’s eyes. He leaned back a step to make way for Estelle to get on the elevator.

Estelle scoffed, “Never mind, I don’t want any misunderstandings.”

A few other students were also there to hand in their documents, among which a pair of gloomy eyes stared at Estelle maliciously.
