Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 562

Each deliberately emphasized word was like a knife stabbing into the young man's heart. So, it wasn't a rumor. She was really taken.

"Still don't get it?" Seeing the boy's silence, his eyes red and his face a mask of devastation, Shanley's lips curled into a smirk as he delivered another blow. "Fine, I'll say it again—"

"No need." The boy shook his head, dejected. He lifted his gaze, his handsome face etched with sorrow. "Juniper, I wish you happiness. I... I..."

He couldn't finish his sentence before turning and running away, his eyes welling with tears.

Juniper stood there, watching his retreating, tear-streaked figure with a puzzled frown. "What's wrong with him?"

"He's just hungry," Shanley said, gently stroking her hair.

His cold gaze shifted from the boy, a satisfied arch to his brow. Juniper was a genius with the emotional intelligence of a rock. It had taken him so much effort to graduate from the titles of 'old man' and 'brother' to 'boyfriend.' Did these young punks really think they could just waltz in and steal her away? How conceited!

"See you in a bit," Shanley said, handing Juniper her backpack with a charming smile.

"Alright." Juniper glanced at him, grabbed her bag, and walked toward the campus gate.

For the opening ceremony, which was expecting many important guests, the entire university had been scrubbed clean. The president, Lionel Landon, stood at the entrance with a retinue of university leaders, anxiously awaiting their arrival.
