Feeling humiliated, Toya didn’t walk towards the Student Union office.
She chose a remote path to calm down in a place with no one around.
The path wasn’t smooth and was scattered with stones and sand.
Toya was pricked a few times until the man behind could no longer watch. He picked her up.
Perhaps it did hurt, but Toya didn’t resist. She leaned against Reyes’s shoulder obediently and frowned when she smelled the faint smell of alcohol on his body.
Reyes had been drinking yesterday afternoon and the smell of alcohol had not dissipated yet.
This smell was not bad and was even a little pleasant.
It was just that Toya could not hold her liquor well and would subconsciously avoid the smell of alcohol.
Reyes sensed her reaction. “Where to?”
It would be a lie to say that he was not satisfied with her being able to hug and touch her at such a close distance. However, if she showed signs of rejection, he was not willing to force her and make her feel uncomfortable.
The thought of Toya, such a proud princess, being scolded by Carter made Reyes’s heart ache so much that he wasn’t in the mood for romance anymore. As long as she didn’t like it, he would stop whatever he was doing.
“I want to find a quiet place to stay.”
There were a few parks around the artificial lake that circled the school building. Reyes lowered her to a bench by the lake. Beside the bench, there was a willow tree with branches that blocked out the hot sunlight for her.
Toya, her eyes lowered, stared at her swollen feet in a daze.
There was sand on the sole of her feet and a few red scratches.
She gently lifted her foot and tried to see clearly, but a hand held her heel.
Reyes knelt on one knee in front of her and bent slightly. He dragged her feet with one hand and wrapped a finger in a tissue with the other. He scraped gently on the sole of her foot.
The sand on her feet rolled down.
There was a slight itch when the sole of her feet was scraped, and Toya couldn’t help but shrink.
Reyes, dragging her ankle, closed his hand and grabbed the back of her ankle to keep her from shrinking back.
He looked up at her.
Her eyes were still red.
“Don’t move.”
At this moment, Toya was no longer as arrogant and cold as before. She was a little dazed and even looked obedient.
She obediently stopped moving.
Reyes continued to focus on cleaning the sand for her. He said nothing more.
The afternoon sunlight was a little glaring and lit up the surface of the lake.
When the wind blew, the surface of the lake rippled, like pieces of floating white fish scales.
The willow branch was also swaying from the wind. Sunlight passed through its cracks and left a small patch of brightness on Reyes’s face.
Toya gradually got used to the itchiness at the bottom of her feet, but she had yet to recover from her daze.
Her gaze moved from her feet to the hand holding her heel.
Because he was tall, Reyes’s hand was also very large. Compared to Toya’s foot, it was slightly tanner. His palm was broad and dry with stiff calluses. His fingers were long and straight, and his nails were round and clean. He used just the right amount of strength to pinch the back of her heel. He wouldn’t let her break free easily or hurt her.
Reyes seemed to prefer black. His shirt was black, and so were his pants. The tailored clothes made his already tall figure appear even more slender, especially his long legs. Even if they were curled up on the ground, it was impossible to ignore them.
Such a pair of legs kicked Carter over, and Carter couldn’t even get up from the ground.
Reyes felt Toya’s gaze and looked up at her.
Toya quickly lowered her eyes and avoided his gaze.
Suddenly, she didn’t act cocky anymore.
Reyes wasn’t sure whether he should feel sorry or amused. He didn’t argue with Toya. He took her other foot and started cleaning.
When it was finally cleaned, Toya pulled her feet back. Her gaze wandered over the lake. Not only did she not look at Reyes, but she didn’t even thank him.
Although she did not thank him, her expression was not arrogant at all.
Reyes didn’t stand. This slightly lower posture than Toya’s made her relax a lot.
He pointed at Toya’s retracted foot. “There’s a wound that needs to be cleaned.”
The wound was small, and it wasn’t bleeding. It was just scratched a little. Toya couldn’t see it, but she did feel pain.
Her wandering gaze returned to him as she frowned and moved her toes.
This injury location made her feel as awkward as the injury on her back did.
Because she could not even reach it and needed someone to help her apply the medicine.
Because of Carter’s words, she was actually a little resistant to contacting Reyes.
She was still in the dazed state of having her dignity trampled when he held her. After she sat in the chair for too long, Carter’s words came flooding into her mind.
She was not a toy that anyone could sleep with.

She and her mother were not cheap.
She lowered her eyes, which were filled with grievance.
If her father were by her side, she would never have suffered such humiliation.
So what if she was injured? No one would notice her in such a place anyway.
She didn’t want Reyes to touch her again..
