After they both returned to B City, Hazel was immediately busy with various assignments and tests. Hazel's field of study was quite difficult and as one of the top students in her course, her professor was expecting a lot from her.

The time for her to meet up with Alex was reduced, but Alex would still show up in front of her dormitory every morning to give her breakfast. Sometimes, the two of them would go on a date to the library.

Although there was nothing that Alex could do but watch as his girlfriend continued to read her books, Alex had never voiced his complaint. After all, with his presence, he was able to stop those who had wanted to get close to his girlfriend.

Ever since Hazel had revealed her identity as the MH Group's heiress, there seemed to be more boys interested in her. Even if they would never have the chance to pursue Hazel, everyone was looking forward to building a friendship with her.

If one had a good relationship with her, then afterward, it would not be that hard to find a job through Hazel's connection. Unfortunately for them, it was not an easy task to approach Hazel. 

Even if her boyfriend was not around, Hazel was someone who will let others take advantage of her.

In the afternoon, Hazel had just finished her test when she noticed her Auntie Edith had posted something in her circle. Seeing the post about the twins, Hazel quickly walked over to a corner and gave her auntie a call.

The call went through after a few seconds. After exchanging their pleasantries, Hazel immediately asked about the twin's well-being.

From the latest checkup, the doctor had confirmed that both mother and babies are in good condition. It was the first time that anyone in the family had a twin and they were all excited.

"Auntie Edith, are those really the baby's footprint?"

Earlier, Hazel had seen the post where she could see one of the twin's footprints on her Auntie Edith's stomach. She was excited and was looking forward to meeting the twins soon.

"You've seen them?" Edith laughed. "The boys are very active recently and have been kicking around. That was the first time that we could get a clear picture of the footprint."

Hazel heaved a long sigh. She was far away from them and was unable to see that footprint with her very own eyes.

"Auntie Edith, there is still a couple of months before you gave birth, right?" 

"Supposedly, yes. But the doctor said that with the twins, I might have to enter the labor room sooner," Edith said. Moreover, there was a possibility that she will have a cesarean instead of natural birth. 

Hazel thought about her schedule and was regretting that she would not be able to return to L City to look at the babies. "Once I started my internship, it would be hard for me to come back."

"Speaking about your internship, have you start house-hunting?"

"I haven't. Alex said that he is going to help me to look for a place to stay," Hazel said. "There is still a time to look for a place."

"Just remember. The most important thing is safety, alright?"

The two exchanged a few words before they hung up. Hazel stared at her phone for a few seconds before she sent out a text message to Alex.

Hazel went to the cafeteria and found her roommates. The four of them were having meals together when Hazel's phone started to chime. Seeing the name on the screen, Hazel went to a corner to pick up her phone.

"Sorry. I was in the meeting earlier," Alex said the moment the phone was connected.

"It's alright. It was nothing important."

Alex heaved a soft sigh. To him, everything about Hazel is important. However, just now, the company was facing some trouble and everyone had to gather in the meeting room to discuss their next step. As he was concern about some matter, Alex had joined the meeting and had forgotten to bring along his phone.

"You don't have class afterward, right? I'll come over and pick you up in half an hour. Is that okay? Let's go and see the house."

Hazel checked at the time and immediately agreed to his words. "Have you look at the place yet?"

"I have. It's a good spot. The location is convenient and close to several facilities. The most important thing is that the place isn't that far from your internship company.  I think the place should be suitable for you."

"Well then, I will trust your judgment."

Alex laughed upon hearing her words.

Realizing that she did not have a lot of time before Alex was going to pick her up, Hazel went back to her dormitory to put down her bags and changed her clothes. She was tying up her long hair into a ponytail when Alex's message came to tell her that he was waiting for her at the usual place.

Hazel looked at her reflection one more time before she grabbed her purse and sprinted to meet with her boyfriend.

Just as she was nearing the vehicle, Alex alighted and frowned when he looked at her. Initially, he wanted to scold her when he saw her running towards him. However, the moment he saw the smile on her face, his anger quickly disappeared.

After running for a short distance, her cheek had turned red as Hazel tried to catch up with her breath.

"What are you running for?" Alex asked. His tone was full of pampering. 

"I did not want you to wait for too long."

Alex let out a helpless sigh when he heard her answer. He stretched his hand and gave her cheek a soft pinch. "I would not mind waiting for you a while longer. Next time, don't run around. It's dangerous. What would happen if you fell?"

Hazel stuck her tongue at him. "I'm not a child."

"I know that. But an adult could also fall if you're not careful."

Hearing that his boyfriend had started to nag, Hazel exhaled a long sigh and could only resign to her fate. Fortunately, it was lunch hour and there was not a lot of passersby as most of them were having lunch at the cafeteria. Or else, it would be embarrassing to let others see this scene.

"Alright. I know. Next time, I won't run around anymore.."

A smile curled on his lips. "Un. Good girl." Alex leaned forward to peck at her nose and turned around to help her with the door. "Come on in."

Hazel slid into the passenger's seat and waited for Alex to enter.

"Have you had your lunch?" Alex asked.

"I ate a little." She was having her lunch before Alex had called. Then, the moment he said that he was coming, Hazel had told her roommates that she needed to leave and her food was half-finished.

"Then, accompany me to lunch first. Then, we'll go and look at the house, alright?
