章 21: Boy friend
Wendy's gaze seemed to sweep past Selena, then she nodded and walked away.
"Who is that person? She has such a strong presence," Selena couldn't help but ask, seemingly forgetting that she had just been calling Jake a pervert.
"Wendy, she's also a student at Princeton University," Jake said.
"What's your relationship with her?" Selena asked Jake, full of curiosity.
"We don't have any relationship," Jake said. In reality, they truly didn't have much of a relationship. Today was only the second time they had spoken to each other.
However, Selena clearly didn't believe it. No relationship? Would someone like her, such a beautiful girl, approach someone out of nowhere to say hello? No relationship? Would someone know that Jake didn't go to exercise?
Seeing Selena's curious expression, Jake said, "We really don't have any relationship. Come on, let's go and register quickly."
After speaking, Jake turned and walked away. Selena quickly followed, saying, "Just tell me, I'm really curious."
In reality, Selena wasn't the only one curious about Jake's relationship with Wendy. Beautiful women like Wendy always attracted attention wherever they went, and as a result, Wendy had quite a reputation at Princeton University. People had never seen Wendy initiate conversations with the opposite sex before, and she never had a pleasant expression for her pursuers. Many people wondered if Wendy didn't like men; otherwise, why would she be so cold and heartless?
However, the recent incident clearly changed people's perceptions. It turned out that Wendy wasn't necessarily unwilling to communicate with the opposite sex; it's just that they weren't the ones she wanted to interact with.
In that instant, many male students at Princeton University were heartbroken. The way they looked at Jake was filled with animosity, the gaze of a rival. Especially when they saw another girl, who was just as beautiful as Wendy, accompanying Jake, they wished they could kill Jake with their eyes.
In the midst of those gazes, Jake helped Selena complete her registration.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the dormitory," Jake said. Princeton University provides a dormitory for every freshman during registration. Whether they choose to live in the dorm or not is another matter; the school doesn't prohibit students from renting off-campus accommodations. So, Selena also had her own dormitory assigned.
"Why go to the dormitory? I can't stay there," Selena said, her face no longer showing curiosity but instead a dejected and dissatisfied expression.
"Well, you can still stay in the dormitory. I think it's better for freshmen to spend more time there, get to know their classmates and roommates," Jake said after thinking for a moment.
"That's what I think too!" Selena said. "But my parents insisted on me staying with my aunt."
"How about this? You can stay in the dormitory most of the time and just come back occasionally. Your aunt doesn't come often, so as long as I don't say anything, she won't know," Jake suggested.
"Really?" Selena looked at Jake with joy. "Are you really this kind-hearted?"
"If you don't believe me, forget it. Then come and live with me," Jake said.
"Believe your," Selena quickly said, "That's settled then!" Being able to not live with Jake and escape her aunt's "supervision," Selena was naturally happy about it. Moreover, she had never lived in a dormitory before, so she was curious and looking forward to it.
"Alright, let's go. I'll take you to the dormitory," Jake said. In fact, Jake had his own motives for doing this. He teleported every day, and that was his secret that he couldn't let others know. While Selena wouldn't casually enter his room, Jake was still concerned about the possibility. If his secret were to be leaked, it could potentially cause a lot of trouble.
Another reason was that Selena was clearly guarded around him. If they were to live together and see each other all the time, it would only cause more problems for both of them. So, it was better for Selena to live in the dormitory.
Selena's mood visibly improved, and she no longer had the same confrontational attitude towards Jake. She had a constant smile on her face, which only increased her attractiveness.
Of course, walking beside her, Jake had to endure more hostile gazes. This was his first time entering a female dormitory building, and he was a bit curious but also cautious not to look around randomly. However, there were many freshmen in the building, and today there were also many parents helping out, so Jake didn't stand out too much. After taking Selena to the dormitory, Jake bid farewell and left. Selena waved her hand to indicate that she understood, and Jake didn't pay much attention as he turned and walked away.
"Selena, aren't you going to see off your boyfriend?" one of Selena's roommates teased her with a smile.
"Boyfriend? Who?" Selena was confused for a moment, then realized they were talking about Jake. She quickly explained, "

"Selena, aren't you going to see off your boyfriend?" one of Selena's roommates teased her with a smile.
"Boyfriend? Who?" Selena was confused for a moment, then realized they were talking about Jake. She quickly explained, "He's not my boyfriend, just a regular friend. No, wait, we're not even friends." They had only known each other for less than two days, so they couldn't even be considered friends.
"If you're not friends, how could he come to see you off? And you didn't object either?"
"Yeah, I saw him holding your hand at the registration area. Don't feel embarrassed; we're all university students now, having a boyfriend is normal," another roommate chimed in.
"But this boyfriend of yours doesn't seem to be anything special. I noticed his clothes; they look like bargain finds. Although those shoes on his feet seem unusual," added another roommate.
Selena's roommates clearly didn't believe her words, especially the last one named Dale. She had already concluded that Jake was Selena's boyfriend and was simultaneously belittling Jake. It seemed that Dale wanted to use this opportunity to suggest that Selena's taste wasn't great.
Dale herself was quite attractive and knew how to dress well. She was considered beautiful outside, but in front of Selena, she clearly wasn't enough. This made Dale, who was used to attention and compliments from others, feel uncomfortable. So, her words had a somewhat sarcastic tone, looking down on Selena's "boyfriend."
Dale's words made Selena frown, and she felt displeased. Although Jake wasn't her boyfriend, he had brought her here, and Selena could sense Dale's hostility towards her. It was clearly directed at her.
As a result, Selena's tone also became cold, "He really isn't my boyfriend. We're just acquaintances. Believe it or not, it's up to you." After speaking, Selena ignored the reactions of the others and went to organize her own bed.
