When Hazel walked downstairs, Alex was already waiting for her. The man was standing under the tree inconspicuously. His head lowered to look at his phone, but the moment he sensed someone was staring at him, Alex lifted his head to look at Hazel.

Their gaze met and Alex was a little stunned, looking at the beauty in front of him.

Seeing the way Alex was looking at her, Hazel could not help but to lower her head. After a brief pause, Hazel walked over and stopped in front of him. "Why… are you looking at me like that?"

Alex snapped out of his trance when he heard her voice. He turned and let out a dry cough before he looked at her again. "Nothing. Just that… you look beautiful today."

Her face was a little heated up. Being stared at by Alex and was called beautiful made her heart jumped up. At this time, loud laughing voices could be heard coming from one of the dorm rooms, startling them both. Subconsciously, they both looked up.

Hazel saw her roommates stood on the balcony and closed her eyes. Knowing that the girls were spying on them, Hazel was a little embarrassed. Suddenly, she couldn't help but want to look for a hole to hide in immediately.

"Let's go," Hazel said. Her hand moved to reach Alex's, wanting to drag him away from the place quickly.

Alex looked at their intertwined hands and a satisfied smile. He tightened his hold against hers and led her to his car.

The moment Hazel sat in the passenger's seat, her phone started to chime. The corner of her lips twitched as she read her roommates' reminder to let Alex pick a day and buy them a meal.

Alex slid behind the wheels and noticed the strange way Hazel was staring at her phone. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Hazel lowered her phone and smiled. "Just my roommates asking me questions about some assignments."

Alex turned the ignition and turned the car to leave the campus area. He glanced at the woman beside him and her lips couldn't stop from smiling. "Have you been busy with your studies and assignments?"

"It's my final year. I don't have many classes, but there are a lot of assignments. But it's still manageable," Hazel said. She looked out the window and watched as the scenery changed. "Where are we going?"

"A friend recommended a western restaurant," Alex said. "You don't mind that, do you?"

"It's alright. As long as I don't have to spend my money."

Alex laughed when he heard her words. 

The two of them continued to talk about Hazel's study on their way to the restaurant. Alex noticed the way her eyes would sparkle when she explained about her robotic studies and was a little stunned.

After a twenty minutes drive, the two of them passed by a large amusement park. Hazel lifted her head to look at the dazzling lights. She seemed to remember that this site was a collaboration of MH Group with a few large companies.

When her parents were still alive, they had once taken her to this amusement park to play around. However, she was too young and she could not remember anything other than what she had seen from the pictures in the photo album.

Once she came to B City to pursue her study, Hazel would sometimes pass by around this area but had never entered the amusement park again. Her friends had invited her to play at the amusement park a few times, but she was always busy with her studies.

Alex glanced at the woman beside him and noticed that she was staring out the window in a daze. "Have you went to this amusement park before?"

Hazel snapped out of her thoughts and turned to Alex. "My parents took me here once. But of course, I don't remember much about it."

Alex pursed his lips into a thin line. At the mention of her parents, Alex suddenly did not know how to continue this conversation. He recalled the secret that Hazel had shared with him at the beach.

He just did not want to let her remember all the unpleasant things and see her sad expression. Alex could still remember how she started to panic and how she had cried until her eyes were swollen when she talked about her parents.

"Alex?"

He snapped out of his thoughts and turned to Hazel. "Huh?"

A smile bloomed on her face. "Do you want to come with me and play at this amusement park? I've been living in B City for a few years and had never set my foot in here. I just thought that it would be too bad if I graduated and leave B City without stepping into this place."

"Alright." Alex nodded. "Let's set a date."

The light turned green and Alex finally turned and entered a district. He found a parking spot and pulled over.

When they alighted, Hazel was a little dazed as she looked at the rows of restaurants and cafes. The area was lively with people walking down the street. On one side, there was a long line of people who were queuing to buy the new flavored ice creams.

It was then that she recalled how Eira would often mention this district. According to her friend, there is one restaurant around this area that served chicken wings that is worth dying for.

However, Hazel had never gone out to this part of the city. She was someone who was not very picky about her food and would not care to travel far to eat delicious food. Her Auntie Edith is an excellent cook and Hazel thought that her auntie's home-cooked meal is the best.

"Come on." Alex stretched his hand and Hazel linked her hands with him.

The two of them walked around the area for a while and arrived in front of a western-style restaurant. Hazel looked at the interior from the outside and was stunned to find how pretty it was. It has a minimalist design, but the decorative plants will make it seem as if they were having a meal in a pretty garden.

As Alex had already made his reservation, the two of them were lead to their table on the second floor.

The waiter handed them their menu and poured them with glasses of water. 

The two made their decision quickly and waited for their food. Seeing the pretty interior, Hazel could not help but to snap a few pictures to show her roommates.

"There's still no one around. How about you stand at that corner and I'll snap a few photos for you?"

Hazel turned to the direction where Alex had pointed at her and hesitated. The greenery background with fairy lights was indeed pretty. Seeing that they were the only people around, Hazel immediately agreed.

The two of them walked over to the corner and Hazel struck a few poses. However, because she was a little timid, they only spent a short time taking pictures.

"Come, look at the pictures." 

Hazel walked over to his side and looked at the phone. For a few seconds, Hazel was a little stunned. The girl in the photo was pretty and Hazel had a hard time believing that she could have that expression on her face. Her lips bloomed into a smile and there was a twinkle in her eyes.

"Later, I'll send the pictures to you, alright?"

"Oh." It was then that Hazel realized Alex had used his phone to snap the pictures. 

The waiter showed up with their drinks and the two returned to their seat. A while later, her phone started to buzz and Hazel saw that Alex had sent the pictures to her.

"How about I snap a few pictures for you as well?" Hazel cocked her head as she looked at Alex.

Alex laughed. "It's fine."

Just then, the two of them heard a movement and saw that a waiter had let a couple upstairs. The woman's eyes caught the sight of Alex and Hazel and quickly dragged her partner to greet them.

Flashing the sweetest smile on her face the woman then spoke, "Alex He, what a nice surprise.. I did not expect to see you here."
