After her class ended, Hazel went straight back to her dorm and found that a parcel from home. After carrying the parcel back into her room, Hazel peeked into the box and found that there were more snacks and delicacies inside.

A helpless laugh escaped her and Hazel picked up her phone and dialed her Auntie's number.

The phone got through after a few rings. Her heart softened the moment Hazel heard her Auntie Edith's voice on the other line. It hasn't been a long time since the last time she went back home, but Hazel found that she was missing her family.

"Auntie Edith, what are you doing just now?" 

"Nothing much. I had just returned from a checkup with your uncle just now," Edith reported. A soft sigh escaped her. "Your uncle has been really overly worried about my pregnancy this time."

Now that she thought about it, Neil was a little more anxious than the first time she was pregnant with Hayden.

Hazel laughed at the other line. "Auntie Edith, this time, you are pregnant with a twin. Of course, my uncle would be worried," Hazel said. 

Moreover, after reading too many articles online, Neil was beginning to worry that her late pregnancy might be a little risky. Every linked he clicked would list out the risk for the mother and child. 

"The doctor said, as long as I look over my diet well and don't stress up myself, everything should be fine," Edith said.

"How are my younger siblings? Are they behaving well?"

"They were very small. Even if they moved around a little bit, I couldn't notice their movement yet. But in a few months, they will start to move. I just hope that the two would not quarrel too much in there and move around too much," Edith said. "Why did you call? Miss me?"

"Auntie Edith, I always missed you. Especially your crab dishes."

Edith laughed. "Alright. I know. I will make them again when you come back for your next vacation."

"Auntie Edith, I called to let you know that I have received your parcel," Hazel said. "Why did you sent me more snacks? My roommates and I have not finished the snacks that you packed for me the last time. Are you not worried that I might gain a little too much weight?"

"Those are from your maternal grandparents in F Country," Edith said. "It seemed that the postage got delayed because of the festivity and reach home after you had gone back to B City. Therefore, I sent them over to you. Later, don't forget to call your grandparents in F Country, alright?"

"Hmm… I know." Hazel glanced at the parcel again. Though she was happy that her maternal grandparents remembered to send her a box of snacks and delicacies, it was still a little too much.

"If you think that you cannot finish them, go ahead and share them with your classmates," Edith suggested. "Or… you can give some to Alex as well. Mmm… go ahead and make an excuse to see him."

Hearing the suggestion, Hazel lowered her head shyly. "Auntie Edith…" 

"What are you embarrassed about? It can't be that you cannot make an excuse to see your best friend, right?"

Hazel thought that her auntie was a little addicted to teasing her.

The two of them exchanged a few words before hanging up. Hazel glanced at the box of snacks again and thought of her Auntie's suggestion. 

After they had gone out for dinner together, Hazel was suddenly busy with too many assignments. Because she was in her final year, her professors were even more demanding. Although they would still talk on the phone every day, Hazel has not seen Alex for a few days…

Hazel thought of her Auntie Edith's suggestion and hesitated. Taking a deep breath, Hazel pressed the call button. 

The call went through immediately and her heart skipped a beat upon hearing his voice, calling out her name.

"Hazel?"

It was at this time that Hazel began to realize that Alex's voice was a little deep and rich. The sound of his voice entered her ear and Hazel felt a little tremor.

"Mmm…"

"Is your classes over?"

"It was over a while ago," Hazel said. "My next class is canceled as my professor had something urgent. So now I am back at my dorm to take a break."

Alex chuckled at the other line. "Then, you should take this chance to rest well. Recently you have been too busy with too many assignments."

"I know." Hazel clenched at the hem of her shirt and asked, "What are you doing?" 

"Nothing much. I was just looking at some documents in my office."

"Are you busy?"

"It was still alright."

"Then… will it be alright if I come over and find you?"

Alex paused when he heard her words.

"My maternal grandparents sent me some snacks and I wanted to share them with you," Hazel said.

"I will come over and find you."

"No. Let me go and find you instead," Hazel said. "I thought about it. It seemed that I have never been to your company before and I am curious to know about your new company. Is it alright if I wanted to come over and look around?" 

Alex was a little stunned. He snapped out of his trance immediately and smiled. "Of course. Hazel, you can come over anytime you want. Are you sure you won't need me to  come over and pick you up?"

"It's fine. The public transport in B City is pretty good. Just send me your address. I'll come over and find you soon."

A faint smile curled on Alex's lips as they ended their conversation. The thought that Hazel had made an effort to come over and see him made him a little happy. Suddenly, Alex found that the documents on her table were not as interesting as it was before. At this time, he was looking forward to seeing Hazel appeared in the office.

Meanwhile... Hazel raised a brow when she saw the address that Alex had sent to her. She did not think that his office and her campus would be quite close. 

Hazel stood in front of her closet and pondered about her outfit. This time, her roommates were not around to help her dress up as they were all spending their time studying in the library.

After arranging the stuff that she wanted to give to Alex, Hazel left her dorm with a small paper bag in her hand. 

She took a bus and arrived at Alex's office building almost fifteen minutes later. Hazel tilted her head to look at the tall building and took her phone to call Alex again.

"You've arrived?" Alex asked the moment the call was connected.

"Un..." Hazel could not help but smile when she heard his anxious tone. "I just got here."

"Just wait for me at the lounge.. I will come over and find you."
